Many cigarette smokers believe they'll never die from their habit. They're addicted.
President Hubert Humphrey once said, "The right to heard does not automatically include the right to be taken seriously."
Proprietary software is evil. This day of age there is no reason to go 100% open source free software. Linux can do everything that the Winders virus can do.
"Carbon dioxide β the gas scientists say is most responsible for global warming β reached its highest level in recorded history last month, at 410 parts per million."
"High-level trade talks last week between the U.S. and China grabbed headlines around the world, but in many ways they were beside the point. In the years ahead, tariffs and industrial policy β the main focus of the talks β will probably matter less in the growing competition between the two countries, while another, much quieter initiative will matter more."
"As China boosts overseas investment through its Belt and Road infrastructure program, it is increasingly dictating not just the terms of financing but also a broader set of technological applications. In doing so, it is altering the global competitive landscape by defining and exporting technical standards for everything from artificial intelligence to hydropower.

In fact, the opposite is true: onions contain compounds that have antibacterial properties."
