    The Rokslide Stock Traders Thread

    Bitcoin prices have been unstable since it started, with giant peaks and crashes even before 2020. It does this because people see it as a trading commodity. The most recent round of price crashes was not due to the Fed, but instead due to several countries banning crypto mining (China chief...

    How did ancient / native people not get botulism from smoking?

    Actually anyone *can* lactate as long as they have breast tissue and nipples. One of the side effects of Risperidone (an anti-psychotic) is that it can cause lactation. It makes more sense if you remember that we all start out developing the same until the right sequence of DNA activates and...

    How did ancient / native people not get botulism from smoking?

    While that’s true, it’s twofold. First, wet nursing isn’t a thing anymore, although it was mostly the wealthy who could hire a wet nurse if there was a milk shortage. We don’t live in tight communities where you could hand off a kid to a sister in law either. On top of that wages haven’t kept up...

    How did ancient / native people not get botulism from smoking?

    This is something of a numbers trick, high infant and post-natal mortality combined with the deaths of the more impetuous young men rocks that average pretty low. The people who managed to survive past 35 tended to live into their 60s and beyond pretty regularly. Thus once basic sanitation...

    How did ancient / native people not get botulism from smoking?

    As is often the answer to these kinds of questions, some of them did, just like more newborns died of malnutrition and disease, more children died of flu and other diseases, more people died of simple infections.

    College vs skilled trades.

    College is "bad" because the upper class of the right wing combined with the more controlling religious leadership decided they didn't like the trend of people going to college, learning things, and then questioning the "everything was great when my parents were kids and changing is bad." If I...

    Supressor direct thread vs muzzle brake mount?

    Shorter and lighter. I have both, for a hutning can I'd probably go direct thread. Most of my ARs and similar wear a muzzle brake or more accurately a flashhider mount.

    Social security and medicare are welfare programs, and are both things she publicly spoke out against. It's like putting a thin blue line flag on your truck and then talking about how you're worried about corrupt government overreach. 1984 was about totalitarianism, not socialism. You'd be...

    Because that's an empty power fantasy based on a poorly written novel by a woman who died penniless and relying on unemployment. But hey maybe I'm wrong. You can start any time. Nobody's stopping you.

    But you can't predict how long it takes a virus to reach that, and they don't always do that. Sometimes they maintain an equilibrium. The 1918 flu epidemic ran for about two years and some of us were hoping to deal with this one without beating that record, yet here we are.

    Because chicken pox mutates slowly and reinfection is not a concern. Also, you'll probably need a shingles vaccine as you age even if you had chicken pox as a kid, because immunity decreases. We are not treating anyone with "gene therapy" so there is no concern relating to gene therapy. Your...

    Alright so you'd be comfortable providing antibody titers to your employer in lieu of a vaccine? And if your titers dropped below protective levels, then what?

    COVID doesn't leave a scar though, so what should substitute?

    Back to work Vax status

    I'm not sure what you're referencing. What other times in history has "natural immunity" counted, what did it count for, and in what ways are you not seeing it "counted" today that should change, and how?
