How are you able to categorize a vaccine immune response as "severe", compared to any other immune response? People seem to think that vaccines are some crazy, unnatural invention. All vaccines do is...
I'm 41 and was so surprised when I met a girl at college who had caught polio at 2 years old (roughly 1980). The Vaccine was already available for decades but her parents had not given it to her yet....

If you have a beard then you just have to wear a full hood. As for professionalism, I've never been asked about my beard and would find it offensive if they

What if some poor soul bought bitcoin after reading the initial post and bought for $1,700? Now they're left with a popped bubble and only $12,000. And what do you mean "no intrinsic value". A...
Got to love those "I told you so" types. Bitcoin has experience some 6 or so crashes of 40+%. Yet, do you realize Bitcoin is still up over 1000% in the last year? I can live with that kind of...
