    COVID-19 / Coronavirus Pandemic

    I'll repeat that I don't pretend to understand it, but the Wikipedia article points out that the sphere is divided up into 'things' where volume is undefined. This article goes into a little more (handwavy) detail https://math.hmc.edu/funfacts/banach-tarski-paradox/ And this is for the more...

    COVID-19 / Coronavirus Pandemic

    I know the sheep joke well. As for the impossibility of looking at everything, it's the difference between a logical impossibility and a practical impossibility. It's not practical, but there's nothing wrong with the logic of the process. A mind-blowing demonstration of this is the fact that...

    COVID-19 / Coronavirus Pandemic

    Mea culpa - I didn't read through the entire page, and was seduced by the good and clear explanation, which I thought was more succinct than the Wikipedia article. On the other hand, if you are trying to prove that something doesn't exist, one technique would be to look at all the things that...

    COVID-19 / Coronavirus Pandemic

    No, the body does not become increasingly ineffective at producing 'anti-spike white blood cells', unless you are talking about normal age-related changed in the immune system (elderly people have less effective immune systems, which is why they need more protection), or infection with Human...

    COVID-19 / Coronavirus Pandemic

    That's a really poor paper. It's basically a VAERS report, and provides no evidence of 'a causal relation between ICB and the vaccination' - the phrase 'cannot be excluded' can be applied to the existence of a teapot floating between the orbits of Earth and Mars. It is of zero evidential value...

    COVID-19 / Coronavirus Pandemic

    Wow! Which study are you participating in, where is it registered, and to which institution are you affiliated? I can't wait to see the pre-print. Sounds pretty major!

    COVID-19 / Coronavirus Pandemic

    Don't be an idiot. You are too intelligent to be an idiot. If by 'dangerous', you mean there is a risk attached, well, YES. Pretty much everything in life has an associated risk, and we all, by our behaviour, evaluate relative risk all the time. Crossing a road is a good example. There is a...

    COVID-19 / Coronavirus Pandemic

    Of course crossing a street is dangerous. The offspring would be an F1 Hybrid, and you don't want to mess with such powerful and noisy cars.

    I would guess inappropriate use of a spilling chucker when writing the sign, and blindly accepting the substitution of 'sweaty' for 'sweety'.

    War in Ukraine

    Re: Belgorod Given that Russia has claimed repeatedly that the Ukrainians are bombing themselves, it is simply reflecting the Russian position to say that this is obviously the Russians bombing themselves. Whether the truth of the situation will ever be revealed is unknown. Given the Russian...

    A short-trip to Greece

    Take the time you need to recover - don't try and go back to your usual work schedule too early - we do not want you to suffer 'long Covid', both out of concern for you, and purely selfish reasons!

    War in Ukraine

    Whether or not the incident of a colonel being run over by a military vehicle participating in the same campaign as him is true, I don't think it is necessarily evidence of widespread morale problems. It only takes one person to do the act, and with so much equipment and firearms around, there...

    Keeping bombing is entirely possible, unfortunately.

    Hey, I mentioned US tax regulations varying by state and county. Surely that fits the definition of absurd...xD Some people do believe in poltergeists.

    Depending on jurisdiction, not necessarily. For example, the GDPR does not apply to a dead person's personal information, BUT other national legislation may well do so. GDPR recital 27: “This Regulation does not apply to the personal data of deceased persons. Member States may provide for...
