Do covid-19 mRNA vaccines cause Turbo-cancers?
Lacessit replied to Red Phoenix's topic in Covid/Vaccine
You are obviously unaware of Paracelsus's maxim, "the dose makes the poison". The 100 individual substances are restricted or limited because they can be imbibed or ingested daily. A vaccine jab is far less frequent. What is your evidence? A single person with an existing lymphoma, where the cancer equally may have metastasized as a matter of course. Not all cancers respond to treatment. -
Do covid-19 mRNA vaccines cause Turbo-cancers?
Lacessit replied to Red Phoenix's topic in Covid/Vaccine
I developed lymphoma after a fairly long history of chronic lymphocytic leukemia at the end of 2021. I am now in full remission. Unfortunately for the OP's hypothesis, my lymphoma came after two rounds of conventional COVID vaccines, and before I had any mRNA boosters. I am a statistical sample of one, just as the OP is citing Professor Goldman. Absolutely meaningless without a cohort of cases. Cancers metastasize, that is their nature. Linking that to a vaccine booster is one hell of a logical leap. Post hoc, ergo propter hoc does not apply to one-offs, either for or against. -
Elon Musk: The Rise of Electric Cars is Unstoppable, Despite Trump
Lacessit replied to Social Media's topic in World News
Good for you. I guess I am too lazy to farm full-time, and would prefer driving a tractor anyway. Battery storage is currently the bottle neck for renewable energy, although there's a Tesla battery in South Australia which is among the world's biggest. SA is 70% renewable electricity supply, aim 100% by 2028. Veggies look very healthy. -
IIRC American debt to China is $900 billion. China produces 95% of the world's rare earths. An embargo on export would cripple production of TV's, electric cars... you name it. China imports a lot of food from the USA. $36 billion in 2022. If China goes shopping elsewhere for its food, where does that leave American farmers? In Trump's first term, his trade war with China cost American farmers dearly. Obviously he is incapable of learning from history. Insanity is doing the same thing over and over, and expecting a different result.

Will DOGE Be Effective In Cutting Wasteful Spending?
Lacessit replied to Hawaiian's topic in Political Soapbox
Most governments aim for about 4% unemployment. It's part of fiscal and monetary tools to control inflation and prevent wages growth getting out of hand. Too much unemployment, recession or depression. Too little, inflationary. Inevitably, the least skilled people go into the 4% figure. The problems really start when bureaucracies dealing with unemployment create hoops for the unemployed to jump through. It's war on the poor in disguise. If you want to cut expenditure, start by checking how much of that bureaucracy is really needed. -

Mae Moh supplies 50% of the electricity to the North, 30% to the central area, and 20% to the north-east. You have microplastics all through your body. We all do. Plastics have been found at the bottom of the Marianas Trench. Again , you are kidding yourself if you think natural gas is a cleaner fossil fuel than oil or coal. It comes out of the ground with up to 30% carbon dioxide, which is separated by absorption on amines or via membrane technology. Guess where most of that goes? What's farcical is people without any education in physics, chemistry or thermodynamics who claim anthropogenic emissions of CO2 are not an issue. If you want to begin virtue signalling, start by growing your own food . No pesticides or fertilizers, they are oil-derived. Eat what you harvest with your fingers, off banana leaves. No soap to wash your hands, I know how much energy it takes to make that stuff. If you get sick, you'll have to settle for herbals in place of modern drugs, most of which are fossil-fuel derived. Go on, show us how much you really care. -

I guess I am no more prepared to embrace an EV religion than any other. When you are O&A, and not recharging your EV from home solar, you are most probably filling up with electrons from Mae Moh power station, one of the most polluting electricity producers on the planet. You are kidding yourself if you think owning an EV is the solution to CO2 emissions. About 70% of electricity worldwide still comes from fossil fuels. Replace every ICE with EV's overnight, you will only reduce CO2 generation by 9%. My apologies for interrupting the service. -

I don't need to move forward, my two ICE's will more than see me out. As far as performance goes, I don't need to drive at more than 100 km/hr, or overtake like a scalded cat. You keep calling me a hater, I am not. I just view both EV's and ICE's through a pragmatic lens. If I was ten years younger, I would probably be buying an EV. OTOH, I have always been comfortable buying secondhand ICE's. I would have to buy an EV new. -

There is plenty of lithium in the ground. It takes on average 7 years to develop most mining projects. -

Lacessit replied to Social Media's topic in World News
Musk skates over the problem of availability. There is simply not enough lithium, copper and other elements to completely replace ICE vehicles, at least short term, until new mines are developed. At best, 30% of ICE vehicles can be replaced by EV's. IMO the ICE car will be around for at least another 30 years. -
What did you dream this morning, just before the dawn?

I saw Ricky Nelson live in Dallas, 1983. Women in the audience were passing their panties up to the stage. RIP. -

Phagocyte is an existing word. What are you, the grammar police? I wasn't aware being creative was a hanging offence on ASEAN.
