If you don't want to drink and don't think you are missing out, then that's a very healthy choice. No question, and I'm not trying to convince you otherwise.
As to why, however. It's no big mystery. It's "fun", or at least can be. If you don't feel it's "worth it", that perfectly fine, but we all have a range of what's "worth it" and what's not. Ranging from a Big Mac to cocaine.
*To be clear, I fall in the middle of that range. I don't advocate cocaine.
FWIW, I've done this once in my Tesla. Fortunately nothing was immediately in front of me at the time, and I was able to correct quick enough. Here's how the logic goes:
Many of the early studies weren’t high quality studies. And as I recall a couple were outright fabricated. It takes time to run randomized prospective studies and those are coming out now.
If we have lots of low quality studies that show Ivermectin works well in populations which probably have high parasite incidence, and not much obvious effect of anything in populations where there aren't many parasites (insert puns here about lawyers and politicians)...
What is the high quality study here to prove?
I don't see why the problem is evidence. AFAIK there seems to just be a shortage of people repeating "the helpful effect is geographically correlated" over and over again. Unless there is evidence of a positive effect that I'm not aware of?
Foreign Earned Income Exclusion. Not any other sort of income, including things like parental leave benefits.
(Not exactly) Pro-tip: if you are in pretty much any EU country, and have anything on top of earned income (rental income, any form of government-paid benefits), you are possibly better off not claiming the FEIE - there’s a reason you have to specifically request it when filing, and it’s not because the IRS want to be jerks (about that, anyway).
Historically, 4% withdrawal rate is likely to last you at least 30 years with funds invested.*
Currently people are pessimistic about stock market returns going forward so it could be lower (3-3.5%). And even lower if you want it to last longer than 30 years.
The key is risk. Funds are definitely not risk-free. If you rely on funds to produce cash, chances are that, when 2008 happens, you get to spend a few years living on ramen. Sure, they might recover eventually, but in the meantime you have to sell the car to keep the lights on.
“During May–November 2021, case and hospitalization rates were highest among persons who were unvaccinated without a previous diagnosis. Before Delta became the predominant variant in June, case rates were higher among persons who survived a previous infection than persons who were vaccinated alone. By early October, persons who survived a previous infection had lower case rates than persons who were vaccinated alone.”

I'm curious what the percentage of Journalists use iPhones primarily... because in my experience it's high, and I believe that affects dev decisions to target which platform first.
If you launch an android-only app, how much of your press-audience are you excluding?
This is fantastic, thanks for linking it! Yes like GP I haven't played this game in more than 2 decades but the movements are still etched into my memory, and how brutal the difficulty is.
I used to love two games at the time, this and Zak McKraken and the Alien Mindbenders. I managed to played the latter to completion in my teenage years, but I never finished PRINCE.EXE, perhaps it's time...
The other related factor is omicron is more likely (than other variants) to infect someone who has been vaccinated or previously exposed to covid. So the number of infected low risk individuals is higher, than with previous strains.
The denominator is higher than if, let’s say, delta was let loose in the same population at the same time.
To clarify, omicron is more likely to infect vaccinated or exposed individuals _than the other variants_. NOT omicron is more likely to infect vaccinated people than non-vaccinated people.
The wording startled me until I understood the intended meaning.
