Stuff I found interesting or amusing and thought I'd share.
- These sudden deaths have nothing to do with climate change (Chart via)
- Twitter broke its own rules to ban Trump
- Pac-Man in its heyday was a multi-billion industry whose income came in one quarter at a time.
- New study shows almost 50% remission of Type 2 Diabetes using just fasting. Too bad Big Pharma can't monetize fasting.

- Liquid nitrogen in a hot tub!
- Mass death certificates show excess mortality could be linked to COVID vaccines. Of course they are!
- SpaceX Starlink speeds dip again. This past quarter the median download speed was 53 Mbps.
- Anti-Xi protests should end American left's China envy. This goes for Canadian lefties too.

What are the Risks?
My understanding is that there have been 3,409 deaths from VAERS (Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System) which easily could be a low number because of cases never reported. Taking this number at face value though that's roughly a fatality rate of just 0.00002% of all the people who received a vaccine shot in the US (211,776,515). The VAERS numbers above are just deaths but if you added in all reported adverse side-effects that number becomes much bigger. These adverse effects include serious side effects such as triggering dormant MS (happened to my friend's wife) or myocarditis - among other side effects.
The mortality rate overall in the US from COVID compared to the overall population is roughly just 0.002% (COVID deaths in US divided by overall US population). It has been reported that 95% of these deaths were in people with on average 4 comorbidities.
The odds of winning the lottery is a reported 1 in 300 million. That's statistically a much lower number than the VAERS fatality rate mentioned above (which works out to 1 in 62,123). However, when it comes to winning the lottery the state governments will actively try to persuade you that today's your lucky day! Whereas with the VAERS fatalities they would seemingly try to convince you that the number is too small to be likely (or hide the number in ways that make it hard to determine).
No matter how you slice it - we are talking about some very small numbers here. Numbers way too small to warrant lockdowns or forfeiting Constitutional rights. And with numbers this small - shouldn't each person be allowed to weigh their own risks and choices without being forced by government mandates?
What happened to common sense?

Stuff I found interesting or amusing and thought I'd share.
- Starlink's latest reported speeds are 97 Mbps down and 14 Mbps up. Pretty good but the upload speeds may bot be acceptable for many applications.
- 4.5% of the general adult population are psychopaths. Yeah but are they vaccinated?
- Article may be sensational but truth is getting accurate VAERS data is near impossible. And the question has to be asked - why is that? My guess is the true number of adverse reaction deaths to the vaccines will dwarf the number of elderly deaths in nursing homes. Skeptical about the high number of children being paralyzed though.
