To give an example, if all books were automatically public domain HBO could have created Game of Thrones without paying George R.R. Martin a single cent for it, then publish and sell “Game of Thrones: The Book”, aka the entire Song of Ice and Fire series, again without paying him anything and stealing all of his profit in the process.
Not yet. But mysk has said he wants to make X like WeChat, which has payment and sending money as one of the key features.
Only if the 94% are now completely immune to long covid and wouldn’t suffer from it if they do get covid in the future. If that’s the case, then the risks really are only the tiny chance of dying to it, usually requiring being immunocompromised or unvaccinated. Otherwise there is also always the additional, orders of magnitude higher risk that you get long covid, and with that comes the risk that you might get stuck to your bed not being able to do anything for over a year for example.
Using the numbers from your other comment, for those 45000 deaths by motor vehicle accidents you also have the over 2 million injuries and disabilities that didn’t kill anyone, some of them permanent and debilitating. The risk of death is only one number among many.
Long covid symptoms are affecting 6% of the entire US population - 1 in 4 who caught covid. One estimate says the cost of long covid to the US economy might be as high as $3.7 trillion.
Just because you don’t necessarily die to it any more doesn’t mean it “poses no issues”.
If it somehow guaranteed your success it would be safer to play a round of russian roulette at the base camp before you begin your climb as that has only one in six chance of killing you. That’s how crazy your odds of success on the climb sound like.
Yet they all know the statistics and the risks, and go do it anyway. Are they mental, suicidal, or do they truly believe they are so awesome and everyone who died clearly was their inferior?
You haven’t seen a Sphynx yet, have you?
They can be, uh, rather… unique looking.
Judging by the exemption list, the ban is basically just for regular household lightbulbs. Headlights are halogens, not incandescent, and the rest are speciality bulbs - though if it’s legal, swapping all of those to LEDs is a pretty good upgrade.
Changed to X Æ A-XII because numbers weren’t legal, pronounced “X Ash A Twelve”, nicknamed “X”. And the second was Exa Dark Sideræl (pronounced sigh-deer-ee-el), now known just as “Y” or, according do Grimes, “?”, because it’s pronounced “Why”.
So Musk has children called X and Y, two companies called SpaceX and X, and Tesla has Models S, 3 (E), X, Y.
Why Musk? No, not you, I’m asking your dad.
Because it’s doesn’t make enough money.
Except low demand doesn’t usually make house prices go down either, it just means they won’t get sold or they only get bought by investors - that then also would rather keep them empty than to reduce the price and take a loss, as an empty 1 million house is still worth that 1 million on paper.
Because the building has a staff cafeteria and a restaurant, as one would expect from an office space of that size.
