[00:19] MinceR better shoot first, then [00:19] MinceR preferably with a gun mounted on your car [00:26] MinceR (cat) https://ircz.de/p/25111539 [00:26] TR Bot ( status 308 @ http://ircz.de/d?from=%2Fp%2F25111539 ) [00:35] Isambard_Prince MinceR, Maybe like the Duke of New York on Escape From New York.

[00:36] MinceR or mount a RCWS on the roof [00:37] MinceR or just drive an MBT [00:39] *hvxgr has quit (Ping timeout: 120 seconds) [00:39] Isambard_Prince https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Technical_(vehicle) [00:39] TR Bot Technical (vehicle) - Wikipedia [00:39] Isambard_Prince You could build these while playing as the US or China in C&C: Generals. [00:39] MinceR :) [00:40] MinceR you'd need a gunner for that though [00:40] Isambard_Prince But you had to get an engineer to capture the building on an enemy base. [00:40] Isambard_Prince Then you'd have the plans to build one on your base. [00:41] Isambard_Prince I think all C&C games give you the ability to capture an enemy building. Sometimes it's not even worth capturing except that the enemy will start attacking the building you just captured and blow it up. [00:41] MinceR :> [00:43] Isambard_Prince So if you can get engineers into their power plants, they could run out of power for a while and it would disrupt their ability to build anything, or capture their refineries and their economy will stall out until they can build more. They might not be able to. It depends on how much money they had when you did it. [00:43] Isambard_Prince Since they can't make more money now. [00:44] Isambard_Prince You can attack and blow up their harvesters, which is also good except it doesn't take long to build more and they're cheap. But since they're usually only lightly guarded it can be worth a skirmish. [00:44] *hvxgr (~wl2v_usrn@freenode-ong.pov.c33bnd.IP) has joined #techrights [00:45] Isambard_Prince Sometimes I'd call in airstrikes against their harvesters if their base was too well fortified for an air assault. [00:46] Isambard_Prince Gives the aircraft something to do until I can punch a hole in the base defenses with something else.

[01:38] Isambard_Prince Avapro is an Angiotensin II Receptor Blocker and Cialis is a ED pill that also has vasodilatory effects (lowers blood pressure). [01:39] Isambard_Prince Drugs.com says the two can interact to lower bp more than either would on their own, but Cialis prescribing literature says Angiotensin receptor blockers are not a class that rules out being on Cialis. [01:40] Isambard_Prince Day 3 of daily 2.5 mg Cialis, I was at 133/83 before the pill, and at 131/80 half an hour later, and an hour later was at 130/78. [01:40] Isambard_Prince Optimal blood pressure is 120/70, that's "textbook perfect". Almost nobody ends up with that. [01:42] Isambard_Prince There could be a small bp decrease as a result of daily 2.5 mg Cialis. But to test that theory I'd have to be able to repeat that each day and perhaps over the first two weeks, where the average reading might go down due to peak serum levels of the drug continuing to reach a plateau level.

They cling to small statements like I don't thinkthe COVID shots did much good. [19:12] Isambard_Prince In basically every other case I say go get the vaccine and bring the kids. [19:12] Isambard_Prince But the COVID shots were made in "a few days" during "an emergency" and became the gold standard even though they're worthless and cause medical problems themselves. [19:13] Isambard_Prince If the Novavax COVID vaccine is better than the others, I'll never know. [19:13] Isambard_Prince It's a different platform but the others were approved under the same conditions, so there *could* be something wrong with Novavax, or maybe there isn't, or maybe it works, or maybe it doesn't. [19:14] Isambard_Prince So I'm not going to take that one and find out. [19:14] Isambard_Prince This is the harm they've done. [19:14] Isambard_Prince Maybe it's a perfectly good vaccine but I'll never trust them now because the Pfizer one was not. [19:30] Isambard_Prince There's already a number of verifiable facts about the mRNA COVID shots that make them questionable. [19:30] Isambard_Prince They still trail the evolution of the virus, even though the mRNA platform itself can be adjusted quickly. They target something that was going around last year, but isn't necessarily a good match for what it looks like this year. [19:31] Isambard_Prince They produce antibodies to the spike protein, but even that's not durable. In 150 days or so, the titer goes down to undetectable and presumably even if you were protected for anything, you aren't now, and since COVID circulates constantly, you need a shot every 150 days or so even if it works. [19:32] Isambard_Prince Then, many people I know including Mandy, were sickened by the vaccine pretty badly, and had too take more time off work than when they got COVID itself, which usually doesn't have effects that are as severe as the ones caused by the shot that does not prevent COVID. [19:33] Isambard_Prince The shot didn't seem to do much for me, even 6 weeks after the fourth shot (the "bivalent" one). [19:33] Isambard_Prince I still got very sick and the only thing that seemed to turn it around was the medicine I could have gotten with or without the shots. [19:33] Isambard_Prince The second time I got COVID, it was like a bad cold, and I didn't take anything. [19:34] Isambard_Prince My doctor advised me that the COVID shots don't really have much effect and that taking Paxlovid is worthless because it makes you feel a little better then it comes back around on you when the medicine runs out. [19:34] Isambard_Prince Thanks to Trump, my insurance did not hav to cover Molnupiravir so I would have had to pay $1,800 for it. [19:34] Isambard_Prince So I didn't take anything except Vitamins C and D, which I take anyway.
