I will absolutely quit if my job tries to force me back into the office.

Something's not adding up here

Seems pretty clear after some legwork. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RNA_vaccine Robert Malone was first to the scene developing RNA vaccines, Katalin Karikó "attempted to solve some of the main technical barriers to introducing mRNA into cells" and "solved one of the key technical barriers by using modified nucleosides to get mRNA inside cells without setting off the body's defense system." Because the powers that be ie Media, Academia favor and cover Katalin she may be nominated for the Nobel even. Malone to date goes unacknowledged in most cases just like we've seen so often in so many discoveries. Katalin herself supposedly agreed that she made improvements on the works of others but news stories rarely if ever reveal the "others". Perhaps sooner rather than later, credit and acknowledgements will come.

It doesn't really take a rocket scientist to understand why people care about what Linus says on 'Hacker News'

I wouldn't actually care what a rocket scientist has to say about mRNA vaccines either.

"A drug addict is not free. A teenager who gets home from school everyday, closes his door and watches internet pornography is not free. A person who compulsively checks their social media feed when they wake up or are minorly bored is not free."

This thing sounds like it was written by a 12 year old

I've been looking forward to this thing

I'd say it's worth reading to get a better understanding of how the mind of an asshole operates

Where did you get that idea?

> A man of power, for example, often has dirty work that has to be done, but for the sake of appearances it is generally preferable to have other people do it for him; friends often do this the best, since their affection for him makes them willing to take chances. Also, if your plans go awry for some reason, you can use a friend as a convenient scapegoat. This “fall of the favorite” was a trick often used by kings and sovereigns: They would let their closest friend at court take the fall for a mistake, since the public would not believe that they would deliberately sacrifice a friend for such a purpose.

Oh

Seriously though I’m reading the preview and finding this all just game of thrones style crap that isn’t useful for modern work.

Or I am not making the connection AND the book doesn’t attempt to help the reader.

There are politics at work but there must be books that talk about that specifically rather than the constant “this man made this weird mistake and was gouged by a thousand swords stuff”

The premium Redream is definitely worth the $

Oculus Quest 2: Virtual Reality has improved my life in almost every away and I love this thing. I can't recommend it enough

Asus G14 Zephyrus laptop: picked this up thinking it would be a temporary machine i'd use for a few months before building a desktop and it's so great i've had zero reason to build a desktop because it handles everything I can throw at it. Video editing, AAA games on high settings, coding, VR, etc, it's a beast of a laptop.
