Don't know, don't care; you come in with hearsay against evidence, so I don't care about your petty views.
ZurdoDev wrote: Oh, you think that's my view?
That was a factual statement, not a view. You choose to ignore the benefits of vaccines, despite years of evidence. You choose to ignore statistics.
Did you look up polio? Of course not, because you just here to prove you're right regardless of reality; ignoring all facts, wordsmithing your way out of it whenever cornered by facts, resorting to personal attacks when you run out of arguments.

Nope, never happened. And if it indeed were a fact you would be able to prove it. So, go on, prove that I ignore the benefits or else admit you are trolling.
It's impossible for you to prove it because it never happened anywhere else other than inside your head. 
Maybe you should cut back on some of the pills you are taking? You might be hallucinating.

There's a trail of quotes. I learned from the past.

That's me with arguments, against you with hearsay?

Cannot prove it, and no intention on doing so either. Your idea of "proof" is if it fits your idea's.

Again, a personal attack, but no argument. Wordsmithing your way out. Zopiclon and Tramadol, and a few days without sleeping.
And still beating you. I'd still be beating you on arguments on day five without sleep.

I have been laughing at you this whole time but you have finally convinced me that now I think you actually do believe what you have been saying. I thought you were just trolling and so I went along and laughed but I really believe you believe what you have been saying is true.
Not to be rude, but if you really believe what you have been posting, that's insane and I suggest you get some professional help.

I been getting heavier sleeping pills every time; they don't work. Yes, you fall asleep, but with enough pain you wake up an hour later. Slept tonight. My maximum us now six days; on day four, you start hearing stuff, on day five, you see stuff. Day six is the one I never remember.

I did; hence my absence;
I suggest a cease-fire. We here to code, not to do politics. And if you ever near the Netherlands, you invited.

If you have any history of lung issues, get it.
I'll be getting one at my physical later this month.
My Dad gets pneumonia quite often and I have exercise and cold air induced asthma.
I’ve given up trying to be calm. However, I am open to feeling slightly less agitated.

I've had pneumonia once, it's more common than people realize.
It's also very common to get pneumonia on top of other respiratory deceases, being the actual killer.

1. I wonder if the flu shot is why I didn't get the flu?
2. I wonder if I would not have gotten the flu if I had gotten the shot?
I vote for #2, but I will do what I am told 
If you can keep your head while those about you are losing theirs, perhaps you don't understand the situation.

If I get a flu shot, the company will give me the choice of a free reward:
PJ pants
zip-up hoodie
yoga mat
grill apron
hydration kit (water bottle & tumbler)
health kit (fanny pack with gloves, mask, wipes, stress ball & cool pack)

think about the reverse situation. suppose there is a shot for the whatever virus.
do you think the flu will step aside while you go to get your shot for the other virus?
on this 5th of October the WHO announced it's best estimate indicate that roughly 1 in 10 people in the world may have been infected by the corona virus.
that's 10% of the world population. given that they say than there are 1,1 million victims.
that makes it 0,14% mortality rate which is on ranks of seasonal flu (0,1-0,2%)
take the next statement with a grain of salt, but i can (me, for my self, for my personal speculations) easily imagine halve the 1,1 million being victims to the flu or other illness, given how easy was to declare someone victim to "the virus"...
i'd say (me, for my self), i better go out for a shot of flu and get "the virus", then go out for "the shot of the virus" and get the flu.
either way it doesn't come out good.

As a follow up to a previous discussion on fun vs discipline in computer languages and having gone through everyone's lists I noticed no-one mentioned Rexx.
Rexx was an interpreted job control language developed by the terribly clever Mike Cowlishaw (of IBM UK) in 1984 to replace EXEC and EXEC-2 on the IBM VM operating system (one of the best mainframe O/Ses in my opinion). It was also adopted as the main macro language for the XEDIT editor on the same O/S. I wrote all kinds of extension to the base XEDIT using Rexx.
It was great fun and you had to impose your own discipline otherwise it could quickly get away from you.
Rexx grew into a full language and was ported to OS/2 on the PC and then to Windows. It has been extended to have classes and all kinds of things apparently, now called NetRexx. I haven't used it really since my VM days although I've read about the new features.
Has anyone else used, or is using, this fun language in any form?
- I would love to change the world, but they won’t give me the source code.
|
|
|
|
|
Never used Rexx but did assign XEDIT commands to PF keys when doing software updates that required changing hundreds of files.
|
|
|
|
|
I used it briefly in the mid-90s when I was working for StorageTek, and we used VM servers to control our big automated tape libraries.
|
|
|
|
|
I wrote a tape automation system using VM and 14 linked StorageTek tape robot silos to support a massive TPF shop in Germany. Some PC-based automation software emulating 3270 terminals was also used to "glue" the systems together and it used Rexx as a macro language as well. Later, I went to work for the Automation company in the US. They called me, at that time, a "Rexxpert"!
My boss at that time had a strong accent and pronounced my name, Robert, as "Robot" and the tape robots as "tape roberts"!

One of the best products ever made, and resurrected StorageTek from chapter 11. Sadly sold to Sun back in 2006 and then Sun was sold to Oracle.

I had a small amount of exposure to it due to a previous colleague having written a point of sale system in Rexx.
He went on to become one of the board members on the Rexx language association.
The enthusiasm he communicated was what propelled me into the world of .NET and object oriented programming - so indirectly I owe a lot to Rexx.

I have not thought of Rexx in a few decades. I used it in a previous job with a compiler (!) on a PC. I am trying to remember which job - it was during it late 1980s or early 1990s.
