Models attempt to quantify and explain real world phenomenon. They are always wrong because we can never know the truth with absolute certainty. I.e there is always uncertainty.

Philosophy exists upstream of mathematics. I've never thought otherwise.

It's useless to argue if you don't believe there are universal moral truths. There is no common ground.

It's for population level calculations for insurance premiums. It's garbage as a standalone measure for health.

You should get a proper mask for that. They usually sell them at hardware stores. Half face respirators are good for working with wood dust. If you're going to work with solvents and oils, the p100 cartridge is the way to go.

It doesn't matter. Nothing will happen. They could have video evidence of him murdering someone and nothing would happen.

It's the same people who come up to a 4 way stop first, them try to wave you through. You're not being kind. You're an idiot. 3Cs. Courtesy Causes Confusion. And a corollary, Confusion Causes Crashes!

  1. Agree.

  2. Optics huh? They still matter? I don't give two shits what anyone else thinks.

Covid isn't real might mean different things. I use it to mean that the hysteria surrounding the virus is manufactured. It's a lack of precision in wording but it gets the point across that I don't acknowledge anything related to it as being factual.

I think it was 92 or 93. Baseball was just coming back from that disaster. It died for me during that strike.

Most smallish places, all you have to say is, "do you want my money?" Just be prepared to walk out.

Tell that to my allergies. Second hand smoke from cigarettes and cigars irritate my sinuses like no other. Spring and fall pollens aren't close and if I don't control those, I get bacterial sinus infection along with bronchitis and a high chance of other infections like cold, flu, and pneumonia.

I avoid that stuff like the plague.
