@CubaOrtografia El otro día leí que “el comunismo es la mayor expresión del ego” Eckhart Tolle…… me pareció fantástica la frase. Que bien que terminamos ambos contentos con nuestras respectivas formaciones! Saludos
@CubaOrtografia Llegamos a confundir la impracticabilidad y la cantidad de material sin utilidad con “aprendimos más”, o “estudiábamos más”….. 4 h de dibujo técnico por todo un año, del cual 2 eran en hacer los renglones para el título del dibujo…Suspendías una asignatura y las repetías todas
@CubaOrtografia 🤔, although it appears as a big number, 160 000 borrowers is not too significant when ~ 43 million people have federal student loan. Seems to me like a great commercial, not much more there…..
To me, this NPR story is crazy. First of all, if somebody gets covid, you have no clue they got it on the airplane. I cannot believe doctors make shit up like this in good conscience. That person was traveling, staying in multiple locations, may have been sleep deprived, but of course they got it on the airplane? How can you respect yourself as a scientist when you just make things up? Second of all, where is the evidence that anyone is being hospitalized in any serious volume due to covid? Merely detecting covid on a swab at admission is not always the reason why someone is there. Third, recommending to the general public that they intermittently wear a mask has no evidence. It's disgraceful to recommend this year after year without generating evidence. Fourth, there are at least three reasons why covid is less severe. Vaccines, prior immunity from infection, variant has become less lethal-- I have yet to see any good evidence quantifying the relative contributions of these three things, but that does not stop these doctors from making shit up (vaccines did it). The biggest reason to not take any precautions against covid ever again is this is just what life is. You get sick, you get better, that's how life goes. Nearly every well done study of long COVID has undermined it. There is value to seeing faces, and there is value to not being a hypochondriac, checking CO2 levels in your car (not CO btw). There's a tiny subset of Americans who cannot let go of Covid. Sadly many of them work at NPR. It would be great to think of different types of mental health care we can offer these individuals to reintegrate into society. But articles like this have no value in my mind.

“Have you ever wondered what happened to the 56 men who signed the Declaration of Independence?
Five signers were captured by the British as traitors, and tortured before they died. Twelve had their homes ransacked and burned. Two lost their sons in the revolutionary army, another had two sons captured. Nine of the 56 fought and died from wounds or hardships of the revolutionary war.
They signed and they pledged their lives, their fortunes, and their sacred honor.
What kind of men were they? Twenty-four were lawyers and jurists. Eleven were merchants, nine were farmers and large plantation owners, men of means, well educated. But they signed the Declaration of Independence knowing full well that the penalty would be death if they were captured.
Carter Braxton of Virginia, a wealthy planter and trader, saw his ships swept from the seas by the British Navy. He sold his home and properties to pay his debts, and died in rags.
Thomas McKeam was so hounded by the British that he was forced to move his family almost constantly. He served in the Congress without pay, and his family was kept in hiding. His possessions were taken from him, and poverty was his reward.
Vandals or soldiers or both, looted the properties of Ellery, Clymer, Hall, Walton, Gwinnett, Heyward, Ruttledge, and Middleton.
At the battle of Yorktown, Thomas Nelson Jr., noted that the British General Cornwallis had taken over the Nelson home for his headquarters. The owner quietly urged General George Washington to open fire. The home was destroyed, and Nelson died bankrupt.
Francis Lewis had his home and properties destroyed. The enemy jailed his wife, and she died within a few months.
John Hart was driven from his wife’s bedside as she was dying. Their 13 children fled for their lives. His fields and his gristmill were laid to waste. For more than a year he lived in forests and caves, returning home to find his wife dead and his children vanished. A few weeks later he died from exhaustion and a broken heart. Norris and Livingston suffered similar fates.
Such were the stories and sacrifices of the American Revolution. These were not wild eyed, rabble-rousing ruffians. They were soft-spoken men of means and education. They had security, but they valued liberty more. Standing tall, straight, and unwavering, they pledged: ‘For the support of this declaration, with firm reliance on the protection of the divine providence, we mutually pledge to each other, our lives, our fortunes, and our sacred honor.’”
