  1. "for whatever reason" I guess what we'll do now is know the problem, do nothing about the problem then statistically control for it so the results still look good. and be racist as f This dude is an MD
  2. Someone at my daughters school drives one of those and I was like wtf is that so I've done a bit of googling and reading.... looks like a really nice vehicle.
  3. yeah I agree! The other thing that can happen is that the demand quickly outpace the manufacturing capacity when something goes from limited use for specific conditions to millions of people hording it. I recall reading stories about how that happened with hydroxychlorocine or whatever it's called. Apparently that did cause some severe shortages for I believe Lupus patients. I'm in the "highly skeptical it works for covid" camp but also in the "take whatever drugs you want" camp so in some ways I'm like "do whatever you want champ on this one" but it is bad when folks like Lupus patients can't get what they need.
  4. I wouldn't say I'm defending them, I'd say I'm saying "whatdja expect?" At any rate it seems there's generic ivermectine anyways so most of this seems moot and or academic
  5. I feel like what Esweig described is basically...... capitalism? innovation? profit motive? I guess I don't get how we're going to consciously inject capitalism into pharmaceutical enterprise and then complain when we get the benefits (and disadvantages) of capitalism from it? Every company replaces old products with new products. If you don't you perish.
  6. PREACH MCS! The two you mentioned about stoplights are two that drive me completely crazy too. I'm also over people who "let people in" esp if they're turning Left. I actually did that a few weeks ago against my better judgment and the dude got into an accident. I didn't even realize it until a couple seconds afterwards but I let gave him space to turn left and he cut across our 2 lanes then blasted someone driving in the left turn lane. It wasn't my fault obv, but I'm done letting that happen. It's too dangerous. People who let in 1 person while 47 people wait behind them while they let that person in also drive me crazy. People actually design where 4 way stops are based on traffic patterns. My new favorite is going into my daughters school we now have people who will stop and not turn right into the school in order to let people who are turning left into the school turn in, and there are no stop signs/ lights at the entrance. A couple days ago I watched someone just whip around the person "kindly" waiting for hte person to turn left and turn around them and I cheered loudly. I get that people are trying to be polite but this really causes more cluster than it helps.
  7. I know, I keep thinking about how these conservatives subtly admit they have small dicks and suck at sex
  8. hahahahahahaha yep, total classic. I also love the Costco Gas Station stuff. This is a bat signal to Shelton! Sadly, the infamous McDonalds that was discussed in that thread has shut down. I don't think there are any vestiges of the double drivethrough paint & signage left for us to go and have an objective investigation!
  9. I can report the same shit happens in Ypsi/Arbor. A lot. I'm extremely impatient person so maybe this is a me problem, but I can't understand people who wait at a light and then aren't eager AF to go once it's green. Between driving and grocery store I could go on for quite a while ranting but alas I think that happened on the old board.
  10. This is the "constitutional framer" "originalist and textualist" Alito is leveraging for his opinion.
  11. sadly they lead a political party and also still call into C-SPAN so they ruin both the coutry and the show
  12. very possible, those emails are from 2014 apparently so that would be before trump made everything terrible and also shitty
  13. oops admit much chief
  14. apparently Rs vs Ds is basically like pro wrestling, fight in public, bros backstage.
  15. wrong thread
  16. Lol. What a nepotism shitpit
  17. isn't that part of the plot of The Matrix?
  18. the punchlines would have been way less funny that's for sure b/c wingers would be making them and we all know the right can't meme
  19. Biden Impeachment started on the left. Sincerely Cucker Tarlson
  20. I think this is worse than indifference, it's cruel and inhumane. Maybe most of them knew it was going to pass so were ok with voting against it IDK but I'm admittedly biased and refuse to give them the benefit of the doubt b/c I'm not a dumbass. It's difficult for me to not consider this behavior in a very negative way. IDK if anyone is present here to defend it but I'd be interested to hear legitimate reasons why this isn't completely terrible At least now it could still pass. If they were the majority they would be able to actually inflict suffering here.
  21. we're gonna air guitar in unison for sure
