I'd be wary of assuming that following Twitter links leads to less fairyland bias than following the traditional media.
[…] the concern of many Germans for the expected loss of energy production heading into winter. This manifests also in widespread public support for the farmer protests. News to me. It's true, though, that some of us (my family included) are looking at ...
I imagine someone's been sitting on these allegations for a while, that the Conservatives got a heads-up from the Durham Police that Starmer was going to be exonerated, and that they decided they'd rather be shot of Johnson than have to sit behind him, ...
Luxon seems to me to me to be no Key 2.0. […] No John Key, then? […] He comes across as very mediocre, as having little intellectual curiosity, rather closed minded and as being a rigid social conservative who dislikes the poor. He seems most comfortable ...
Maybe. On the other hand, nobody ever gave Key the sort of treatment that Jack Tame and Susie Ferguson have, so Luxon might find that the manner in which leaders' debates are moderated has also moved on. A style once successful won't necessarily be so ...
This developing meme that "Luxon is no Key" has me rather puzzled. The Luxon I see in these interviews suggests to me that Luxon is exactly like Key. He has the same tactic of meeting straightforward questions with, "Yeah, so what you've got here is [...
Let's have some quotes then. I'm sure you habe some specific instances in mind.
Is Jacinda Ardern's effective dismissal of Labour's chances in Tauranga to be taken at face-value, or is it a sly invitation to Winston Peters to run in a two-horse race against National, in the hope that he will drag the National Party into an ...
This is not a game. No, but putting up titles like that clearly is.
Can this Government be saved? A loaded question. Just Ad looking for a spine to run up as usual.
I wonder whether China's agreeing to accept Russia's dependence in the face of predictably destabilising sanctions at this point in time doesn't already represent such a bite.
If you replace 'maori' with women, pacifica, people etc. would it cause a similar amount of angst ? It would be exactly the same for me. Firstly, "awesome, high-calibre" is dickhead corporate language that means fuck all, and represents a clunky, ...
... if they are dropping, of course. The graph doesn't really bear that out. I'm not saying those trends won't establish themselves, but at this stage, it's far from clear that the lifting of restrictions has had no effect. It wasn't an enormous lifting, ...
What an utter load of arse-pasties. I live in Germany, and we definitely still have restrictions.
No, while I concede that I did drop the distinction between absolute and per-case mortality rates during my earlier conment, after being (mildly) precise initially, I was referring to the absolute mortality rates. The per-case rate is a largely misleading ...
Norway's mortality rate actually appears to be increasing, which is interesting, as they removed restrictions on the likes of bars' opening hours on 2 February. In France, absolute mortality rates with CoVid appear to be either flat or rising, although ...
Your comment is typical of the paranoid and baseless fear sweeping through the sheep in nz. You are the sheep in NZ. Wake up. As far as worrying about breakthrough infections goes, it is simply obvious that a virus that mutates at a decent, if not ...
[…] the bullshit will be lapped up by those who fawn over everything he says and don't have the wit to reasonably assess what he says. Yeah, but they would have voted for him anyway, so it's no great loss.
All of the testing facilities that I can think of within a couple of minutes' walking distance of my place (that's six of them) are outdoor facilities where the tests are administered through a street-facing window, usually from tents or other temporary ...
Self-isolation for seven days, assuming one has been without symptoms for at least 48 hours and returned a negative test, otherwise for 10 days (also assuming no symptoms for 48 hours). The same applies to close contacts (persons who were in contact with ...
Here in Germany, we have testing centres with RATs (at least in the small-to-mid-sized city where I live) at a density of every couple of blocks or greater in town and the inner suburbs. Results are delivered after 15 – 20 min., variously as a print-out, ...
Right there is the difference. The Western mind struggles to understand how water on a dead planet can be a surprising, wonderful gift, not of resource for us to use, but a source of wonder, of commonality. Whether to treat a phenomenon as a resource or ...
That isn't evidence that her symptoms are due to the vaccine. It's just further evidence that you believe that righteous moral arguments and medically sound arguments can be conflated.
The series he was in was a bit shite, though (as was the high-rating Series 4). It's much, much better nowadays, and it doesn't need to be a smash hit (what non-soap programme is after 15 years?). It's also worth noting that viewership of all television is...
I know that Mark Richardson is very much persona non grata around here, but as a cricket commentator, he really is class, and a genuinely funny chap. Happy New Year, everybody.
Good video. Thanks.
Almost like trying to explain to fit, healthy libertarians why people are better off funding a public health system, isn't it?
Clearly an exaggeration, gross hyperbole…lying… and Kerre did right calling this very fearful woman out. Well, mild use of a hyperbolic figure of speech, anyway. God forbid that you should engage in gross hyperbole yourself.
Well, I have no idea why you would expect my comment to say anything specifically about 'in-hospital case fatality rates'. Regardless, with your statements about the common cold above, and your prediction that officials will tend to keep urging permanent ...
Precisely that has been one of the main specific caveats to the data coming out of South Africa from the first mentions of Omicron, though. South Africa has a very high proportion of people who have had the disease, so a lot of their cases will be ...
Well, I like him.
