As a local, most of it is actual locals, often bringing out of town friends, but the core is always locals.

You should come to Miami. Some people start the night at a normal club, go to a rave at Factory town, and meet the sunrise at Space, all in one night.

I'd like to see any reasonable math behind this idea.

> It's idiotic. Just phone it in directly and go pick it up.

I don't have a car at the moment — am I just never supposed to eat outside of home-made food anymore? I've done that math many times, Ubering both ways to a restaurant is even dramatically more expensive than a delivery service.

If you don't live in an extremely walk-able place, sometimes it's the only option.

The good 'ol gas-lighting. Nice.

> Hard disagree. The idea that the machinery your life will depend on might be made with half-assed safety in mind is definitely not part of the deal.

It's definitely built in. The Apollo LM was .15mm thick aluminum, meaning almost any tiny object could've killed them.

The Space Shuttle flew with SSRB's that were solid-fuel and unstoppable when lit.

Columbia had 2 ejection seats, which were eventually taken out and not installed on any other shuttle.

Huge risk is inherently the deal with space travel, at least from its inception until now.

It's crazy to think that $29.5m x $19.99 (old smallest price) is $589m. That's just a starting point for revenue. Wild.

We used spreadsheets to manage offices -- there is about 15 separate offices -- complete data set (clients, analytics, call logs) and each sheet has many, many different formulas interconnecting all the sheets in the book.

We use Google Sheets, as we changed from Office at the beginning of this year, and 10-15 times a day my tab crashes on Chrome from just existing, let alone when trying to do any operations.

It's a mess, and I'd rather build a simple web app to replace it, but don't have the time, approval, or financial resources to make the switch. So instead of letting me improve 100+ peoples daily workflows, we just suffer.

Go spreadsheets!

It does, but like I said most people just automatically buy new bonds, instead of actually removing the money from the Government.

It's both, although an extremely low percentage of people, IIRC, actually "cash out", most just roll the funds into a new bond once the previous one matures.

> If you cannot replenish this ATP and GTP you’ll be weaker the next time you get an infection and be sicker in general.

This is wrong.

You're all over this thread spreading incorrect information.

> Then they need to stop saying that Covid causes these things.

Well, if it does cause these things, and it's looking like from the literature that's the case, they wouldn't actually need to stop saying that.

First line of the study:

> Long COVID, as currently defined by the World Health Organization (WHO) and other authorities, is a symptomatic condition that has been shown to affect an estimated 10-30% of non-hospitalized patients after one infection.

Doesn't say 100%.
