Consensus is that MSM are somewhere between 20-26 times more likely to contract HIV then other adult men. How much of that is biological and how much is cultural (e.g. in countries where homosexual sex is criminalized, access to healthcare and prophylactic medicines are likely less available) is definitely up for debate, and it of course does not mean that a straight man cannot contract HIV.

Gay men are statistically more likely to contract HIV. Of course, it would be horribly irresponsible and negligent not to test donated blood/plasma for HIV in the first place, so yeah, kinda dumb.

Sorta. Congress has the power to declare war, but the President has the power to direct the military in war and in “peace”. The War Powers Act was supposed to constrain that power, which limits military action without Congressional Approval to 60 days (plus 30 for withdrawal). But no President has acknowledged that that law is constitutional. Plus 90 days is a long time in modern warfare.

They’re saying the monkey paw interpretation is the wisher want to end the wars. “I wish to [be the one to] end all wars.”

Generally, anything from 3 times a day to once every 3 days is considered the range of normal.

No no no, we’ll just tow all the polluting thing outside the environment.

They don’t have a repo as far as I know. Hence the manual .deb install.

Uh, or you’re still cooking after getting back from work?

Conversely, healthy people have (mandated) health insurance at minimal cost to the insurance companies.

Not sure your location, but in the us at least most banks have a bill pay service where they will send a paper check for you at no cost.

I know a lot of it is nostalgia speaking but I still hold that Jeff Buckley’s version is the best. I think he captures the emotion I feel perfectly in his voice.

Sure but that doesn’t change the lack of competition. For my address, I have two non wireless providers, and one of them is copper only and capped at 50 down. So not a lot of choice if an ISP is screwing you.

Ah yes, I will just go to another ISP. Wait, there’s only one.

What’s challenging about paywalls and not wanting to spend money is not necessarily not wanting to spend, but convenience and cost. If it costs me 10 cents for each blog or tutorial or github page I look at while working on a project, or 1 cent for every funny video, that adds up. And do I have to put my credit card in for every site? Hope that every site has good enough security to prevent payment information leaks?

And I don’t think anyone is interested in a Netflix-style internet that fractures into 6 different subscriptions to get every site you need on the web.

I think they meant two party consent free as in free from the requirement for two party consent.

Yeah but night time and IMC (clouds) is when ATC is needed the most.

We’ve investigated ourselves and concluded there was no wrong doing.

One is a job and the other’s a mental sickness!

Yeah, but I really don’t want my computer to look like my phone. And I hate that they keep moving toward that and “app-ifying” computers (specifically windows).
