The combination of red rear turn signals being allowed and those hideous front amber reflectors being mandated is absurd to me.

I couldn't help but notice that the Renault has a curiously named sponsor

Torch everything you do is perfect but

Nobody uses sigma outside of physics and engineering

Now that's a tension pneumo

I'm sorry, I misunderstood your original statement. That is a true concern. There are limitations on the effectiveness of diagnostic tests soon after exposure.

You're not wrong. A 99.8% sensitivity means a test appropriately identifies 998/1000 people with the disease. But there are other factors to consider.

I don't think "instant" is a relevant standard here. The word does not appear in my reply. But there actually are very rapid (<10 minutes) HIV tests that are virtually perfect (95% confidence interval for sensitivity, 98.8-100% in this study, 99.8-100% based on these CDC slides).

I think vCJD is a bit different, though. I'm not aware of any viable test, and symptomatic manifestation can be delayed (though 34 years is probably unusually long). There is also not treatment for vCJD. The number of people excluded by the rule is also relatively small and does not represent a protected class that…

Yeah that was fucked up

At least Gravity had an original plot. Avatar was a series of tropes strung together by CGI.

Good lord that soundtrack

Yeah there's recently been some weird aspect ratio issues with front page photos

What constitutes this geopolitical environment? There is nothing but the threat of violence or violence itself. Anything short of that is represented as weakness.

I want to understand your argument here.

This is what privilege looks like

Somewhat tangentially, it may be worth considering that, even if the response had been more rapid, a 77 year old man is more likely to suffer life threatening injuries from the same mechanism as a young adult or middle aged man.
