@kushchan she thinks that Floyd helped the dems win the last election, that's how fucked up her mind is!

@louiscouture any side effects so far?

@louiscouture the two dozes or first shot?

@louiscouture Which vaccine?

@freemo Nerd talk!

@freemo wow interesting skepticism of doctors, I agree not all doctors are competent, but usually the ones with years of experience and a good track records are very effective and give valuable advice.
I understand you like to do your own research, but I find it very hard to do your own eye exam and to self diagnose eye issues, for that you need special sets of equipment and a skilled doctor to interpret the results.

@freemo How come you willing to buy a random eyedrops online without doctor prescription?

@freemo Did a doctor prescribe to you those eyedrops?

@moftasa There isn't a lot of data about Sinopharm (BBIBP-CorV) vaccine, look like phase III is public mass vaccination, we have to see how it goes. But I have to choose I will Sinopharm vaccine, because it's a well known method of producing vaccines which is historically safe, the other vaccines are highly experimental, complicated to manufacture(Quality control might be lacking) and difficult to distribute.

@freemo The only civil war I see happening is breaking free of big corporates dominance over the digital landscape!

@freemo I terminated my tweeter account and joined fediverse through Qoto last week and I find it awesome, I believe the fediverse is still misunderstood and It could gain a lot more traction if explained and marketed to content creators properly, instead people are migrating to proprietary services like Telegram, Gab, Parler ...etc

@academicalnerd @alex Oh wow thanks for confirming my intuition, I always been curious understanding thermodynamics it's a fascinating subject to me!

I did a bit of research, I found that Accuweather has a patent on RealFeel® temperature equation (lol)

Someone even made a phyton script out of that patent.

That seem to narrow the factors that play in the feeling of coldness/hotness!

@academicalnerd @alex

I quite get it, it's just not very intuitive, in a cold climate the air holds little mass of water especially at those negative temperature so even at 100% Relative Humidity, am not sure if the thermal mass of water in the air plays a major role in the feeling of coldness, my guess would be wind has a more significant role.

@alex @academicalnerd
What factors contribute to humidity in cold weather?

@academicalnerd Maybe stupid question, but I always relate humidity to warm climate, how can you explain humidity in cold climate?

@alex Thanks!

@benk

Very well said, I would also add
one of the factors that slowed Muslims nations development is that the international monetary system isn't compatible with Islamic finance doctrine, especially the usury (making money, lending money).In a verse from the Quran, people who engage in this practice are actively waging war against God.(That's how bad its perceived).

[Quran 2:276-280] God condemns usury, and blesses charities. God dislikes every disbeliever, guilty. O you who believe, you shall observe God and refrain from all kinds of usury, if you are believers. If you do not, then expect a war from God and His messenger. But if you repent, you may keep your capitals, without inflicting injustice, or incurring injustice. If the debtor is unable to pay, wait for a better time. If you give up the loan as a charity, it would be better for you, if you only knew.

There is considerable development in last decade in Islamic finance to make it compatible with international finance, so that might bring capital to those nations to invest in education, Infrastructure and manufacturing which should instate stability.

One of the factors that accelerated the western nations development, especially in the last century is the invention of fiat money and the infinite money printing.
