Yes, there is a risk of a bad reaction from the vaccine. Or something we don't know about yet. But there's also more we might not know of the long term effects of Covid-19 exposure. Waiting for proof of 1 to spite the other may not work out so well when the virus is on its own schedule, jumping from person to person.

Avoiding both the vaccine and Covid-19 exposure may not be viable long term. Everyone's getting exposed at some point. Corona's have never been eradicated in human history, so I wouldn't count on the new corona going away. Eventually that virus is finding a way to hop into your body. Best to prepare your immune system.


Kettlebells. It's space efficient for a home gym. Cheaper initial investment than a barbell and rack. And you can train explosive movements like snatching.


> into a pedophile pizza place conspiracy theory

The Epstein incident where they used the code word "pizza" for sex turned out to be real. Imaginations running wild turned that into a false conspiracy about a literal pizza shop. Is it fair to criticize wikileaks for unrelated parties imaginations running wild?


Pizza was never a codeword for sex---Epstein was wholly disjoint from the data Wikileaks divulged and was brought down by a long-running FBI investigation.


Maybe they were referring to Prince Andrew's alibi of being at a Pizza Express in Woking, UK? Which has nothing to do with "Pizzagate".


"false conspiracy about a literal pizza shop" is Pizzagate.


A different pizza shop in a different country, but sure.


Your co-founder wants to profit from 11 months of your life and leave you in the gutter. 11 months is about 2% of your entire adult working life.

Don't give in to anything. The guy is a crook.

He should have proposed the paltry 3% before you dedicated 11 months of your life on the business.

At the very least he should offer to pay you a market salary for the 11 months you worked. He could take out a loan to pay you.


Most richer people diversify their wealth. You may be hard pressed to find a billionaire who actually has $1 billion in cash.

Cash would most likely be the minority of their wealth. As inflation occurs, they do take a hit on their cash holdings. But their land, stocks, apartment complexes, etc may increase in value.

> It should devalue the money that they already have, benefitting the poor

Even if all people both rich and poor held all their wealth in the form of cash, that would certainly hurt the poor too. Say a poor person works 8 hours a day. His 8 hours of work grant him buying power of 3 meals. After inflation his 8 hours of work grant him buying power for only 2 meals. This is not just a theoretical, look at McDonalds meal prices, you can't get a sandwich for a $1 anymore.

There are some benefits to inflation. It's cheaper to employ poor people willing to work the now cheaper paper. So it may create some new jobs that otherwise may never have been created.


Yes I do. Earth is proof life can exist in this universe (obviously). It seems reasonable a basic form of life exists elsewhere.

I don't think we will ever observe alien life as it's too hard. Other solar systems are too far away, let alone other galaxies. We can't even properly observe nearby planets such as Venus.


Some scientist recently said Aliens are near & many major publications covered it. Not sure if we will see them but it'll be fun if we can at least before we die lol


But his "highly unusual" success is lighting that strikes 5 times in a row. Maybe he's onto something. His lighting strikes consistently in completely different domains too.


Lightning strikes aren’t evenly distributed on the globe. Carmack is a skyscraper, the average human is a normal tree.


Well, witches are/were real. The magical powers part may be up for debate.


I will take it as soon as possible.

I don't have allergic reactions.

The risk of the vaccine on 50k people has proven safer than a random sample of 50k people exposed to Covid-19.


> You give near negative returns to companies

Does California invest money/resources to companies? Or is it more of an indirect thing, such as maintaining roads and bridges?

Why are businesses choosing to hop off the California gravy train? Is the gravy not worth the taxes? Is the gravy just hyperbole?
