This is almost less scientific than just straight covid denial. Why do you assume those past diseases couldn’t have also had possible cognitive functions issues? Because in the time of the plague they didn’t do cognitive effects research on plague survivors? There are billions of people with dogshit access to vaccines. That’s not them being contrarian assholes, or ignorant, it’s a combination of supply chains and also deliberate state actor decisions to refuse them sufficient vaccines. There are over billions people with terrible options to segregate and live as hermits and order doordash. If you live in a multigenerational home in a poor country (or even a wealthy one), even 100% mask use aside from eating and drinking is very high risk! What are they supposed to do? And lol at this generationally dumbing people down. One study suggests cognitive decline in the worst afflicted people, and now you’re worried it will be passed down to later generations? Taking your legit gripe about dumbasses in your Western neighborhood or city or whatever and ascribing their motivations and ignorance to the whole world population is some real nonsense.

Does that study differentiate between infections in vaccinated and unvaccinated people? I imagine that the subset of "got vaccinated (before getting COVID)" people in the "got COVID" group is pretty small, though.

Sandusky is nice, go to Port Clinton and hit Jolly Rodgers for some dope fried seafood. The Liberty Air museum is also neat, they're restoring a WW2 PT boat and have some cool artifacts. You probably passed my hometown on the turnpike as well. I really want to go home but my car, depression and other fun things are saying no. Also, the Cod: I got to sleep aboard her during a reenactment during the Cleveland air show, so I had a sweet experience and front row seats to the Blue Angels. Her dry docking is the first time she's been out of the water since 1966. They're doing major hull repairs. I want to say her engines probably work. Her volunteer crew are pretty badass about getting her back in shape.

Not to mention nearly the entire value of cryptocurrency is how much fiat currency you can launder out of it or through it. Either way, excited for Britain to be overrun with mining ops being run out of people's homes to mine the Britcoin.

I, and the article, never said anything about cryptocurrency, and even then, it doesn't have to be mined. Bitcoin mining was just a way to create artificial scarcity as well as recruit processing power for the transactions, it doesn't have to work like that. You could say the same thing about paper money and gold, you can't just print it into existence because if you could, people would, it has to be mined!

I followed the original making fun of bitcoin thread in 2011. Nothing really has changed. Yeah, the "value" went up astronomically but Joe Miner certainly can't afford it. Hell, I even wrote a paper on it and submitted it to a Futures Analysis journal. They sat on it for a year and rejected it. I basically said the following: Crypto is good for trying to elude the Government (until the Government catches wind of it when it gets big) It is, however, completely unregulated and thus open to scams and fraud You (at the time) can't buy anything with it up the chain of supply, so if you want to run a bitcoin store that's going to difficult. Other digital currencies have come and failed because of, surprise, fraud and scams. Mining is an endgame which the average miner cannot compete with. I think the paper held up after all these years. The stories from that original thread were wild. One guy was trying to get bitcoin to re-open a defunct theater in BFE Illinois and show all the thousands of movies he had on a household grade projector. Oh, and he also planned to have a soda fountain that could dispense all the sodas. His business plan was to buy gift cards at Wal-Mart and sell them to bitcoin people for a small upcharge and thus make his dream come true. The very first sale he hosed up the transaction and the guy never got his gift card. Dude also had a fetish for 1992 Ford Broncos or something like that. Oh, and he was unemployed after getting fired from his part-time restaurant job. But bitcoin was going to make him a millionaire. There were an awful lot of similar stories back then. A small aside, I ordered a computer from Amazon years back. Within a couple of months the power supply and the graphics card failed. Want to guess why? Yep, the shitbags had mined with it and then sold it as "new". Amazon refunded 75% of the cost.

"Alternate" currencies existed long before crypto, too, but never caught on because they were dependent on fly-by-night con artists to hock them to the credulous (and the credits to hock them to their circle of friends). One of my previous employers purchased $5k in some "real business currency for real business people" which, surprise surprise, was effectively unusable because the whole thing was a cycle of dopes realizing all the dopes before them had already written the "currency" off as a con. https://youtu.be/K-6IzkDyl9Q The only thing actually special about Bitcoin is that it hit at the right moment with the right techno babble to become self-sustaining off the backs of true believers and criminals.
