Would you care to share which parts you see as "disguised" opinion versus fact?

These all seem like established facts:

* "...bringing the total HHS workforce from 82,000 to 62,000."

* FDA — "..will lose 3,500 employees, about 19 percent of staff"

* NIH — "...is set to lose 1,200 employees, about 6 percent..."

* CDC — "...will lose 2,400 employees, about 18 percent..."

When the article quoted opinions or op-eds it was quite clear and gave citations as to who offered those opinions:

* " In an op-ed Tuesday, Tom Frieden, former CDC director under Obama, called the cuts to the CDC a threat to "America’s health, safety, and economy." "

* " "In a matter of just a couple days, we are losing our nation’s ability to prevent HIV," Carl Schmid, executive director of the HIV+Hepatitis Policy Institute, said in a statement. "

I’ve heard most of that. And yeah, it’s pretty disconnected from reality.

Rabid DEI? Mythical.

Highest tax rates in the world? No we don’t. And did you notice that this guy just enacted a massive tax hike? Voting Trump for lower taxes is idiotic.

Drugs, poverty, war? Trump has no effective plan to fight any of these.

Importation of new voters? Why do Republicans assume immigrants are automatic Democratic votes? Hispanic culture is pretty socially conservative. Those millions of people coming in over the southern border should be an easy demographic for the Republican Party to recruit.

Rapists and racists? When you support a rapist and racist to run the country, expect that to be criticized. And aren’t Republicans supposed to be all about “free speech.” But oh no, somebody called me names, it’s awful.

You can trust me, facile3232, instead. I will improve upon all things the leader of automattic.com failed to improve upon.

It's a pretty common method in industry (a wet scrubber) but I don't know of any indoor-scale, self-contained units - it sounds like a recipe for mould because a misting one would basically be a humidifier too, and they are hard to maintain because bacteria like legionella can grow in the water and then you're dispersing it inside your house!

This is neat and I share your frustration. I've wanted to build this for a while and nice to see you've got something up.

Can't wait to see this grow into the tool I think we all need.

It's a valid criticism that this method would increase compute requirements, but sometimes an improvement in the end result justifies the compute needed. For things like code generation in large datasets, many people would be willing to "pay" with more compute if the results were better. And this doesn't seem to require more memory bandwidth, so it could be particularly good for local models.

Car color ought to be banned from being a consideration for insurance rates.

Do you know of a study that shows that long term effects in men and women are the same or worse in women?

Thanks watched one and it was neat!

Q: can anyone tell me what these solo people do when they need to sleep and it’s too deep to anchor?
