webcam for your desktop computer, Robert May 03 16:53

Gail - I realized that your computer also probably does not have speakers. So, in addition to buying a webcam, you'd also have to buy speakers as well. You could probably get something similar to what Don has: anything with a 3.5mm jack should be fine, but...

Have you herd? It's herd mentality. How else can we thin out the herd and create herd immunity?

  They mentioned this: wikipedia.org in the conversation. Seems like good goals, despite its Marxist critiques.
  - Re: speaking of POTH, robert May 04 18:20
    
    They also mentioned this: wikipedia.org I hadn't heard of it. Pretty interesting. I bet wikipedia.org knew about this and probably based his belief in infinite population on it. Of course, he never considered externities in this formula (wikipedia.org ).

      Do you think if Gibbs had explicitly said "Americans should stop having kids" instead of the more amorphous "population growth", the left would've been placated?

      Not sure how we could be ecofascists if we're advocating that Americans severely reduce their birthrates.
wrong assumptions about having no kids, Robert May 04 17:33

vox.com Not sure how they assume any descendant's carbon emissions will not continue at a constant rate. I think that only by assuming the worst case can reasonable choices be made.

      My point is that we should do both: let insurance pay for as much it will pay, and then pick up the co-pay via Flexible Spending. Do you have a full day of work today?

      Good question. You could probably call your MD. Let me look it up. May not be worth it, especially if it's less effective.
    - Re: Your order receipt 1612511582 (fwd), robert May 08 18:06
      
      I couldn't find any info whether the generics are as effective as IMVEXXY itself. So, I guess we'll need to stay with the status quo ante.
