If you don't want to drink and don't think you are missing out, then that's a very healthy choice. No question, and I'm not trying to convince you otherwise.

As to why, however. It's no big mystery. It's "fun", or at least can be. If you don't feel it's "worth it", that perfectly fine, but we all have a range of what's "worth it" and what's not. Ranging from a Big Mac to cocaine.

*To be clear, I fall in the middle of that range. I don't advocate cocaine.

FWIW, I've done this once in my Tesla. Fortunately nothing was immediately in front of me at the time, and I was able to correct quick enough. Here's how the logic goes:

- Press brake.

- Car moves forward.

- Press brake much harder.

- Car lurches forward.

- Realize you are pressing the wrong pedal.

Many of the early studies weren’t high quality studies. And as I recall a couple were outright fabricated. It takes time to run randomized prospective studies and those are coming out now.

There's a foreign tax credit up to $100k. So, for the retired, I don't think paying extra tax is an issue.

I’m not sure what you think you are saying. But vaccinated + previous infection is superior to either alone. Hence the “super” booster nomenclature.

I believe this is in reference to those who have breakthrough infections while already vaccinated, hence acting as a "booster".

Unvaccinated with an omicron infection is not necessarily the same thing, and isn't likely to have as strong an immune response.

ya, I'm saying that even if climate change does destroy his beach house in 20 years, they will have gotten 20 years of use out of it.

If I could use it for 20 years first, definitely.

Cause he’s rich and can afford it regardless what happens. Why would you pay for ice at a convenience store when you could make it yourself at home.

I'm curious what the percentage of Journalists use iPhones primarily... because in my experience it's high, and I believe that affects dev decisions to target which platform first.

If you launch an android-only app, how much of your press-audience are you excluding?

Correct. Will clarify.

The other related factor is omicron is more likely (than other variants) to infect someone who has been vaccinated or previously exposed to covid. So the number of infected low risk individuals is higher, than with previous strains.

The denominator is higher than if, let’s say, delta was let loose in the same population at the same time.
