Be careful not to overdo it resulting in injury.

Avoid dangerous things that stress poor parts of the body, such as the knee's ligaments.

Some things never heal back once injured, such as most of the meniscus-- only a small part of it has blood flow. Probably similar with other cartilage body parts.

It's a nice Hypothetical of a relatively tiny quantity of Edge Cases,

but it's a repetition of a False Dichotomy, as I already pointed out. You have anything original?

It doesn't mean my nation should stop protecting its borders.

If anything, it indicates my nation should put more resources into protecting our borders.

I fail to see the premise of your argument, other than "In pandemics, bad things happen".

As I said-- Restrict immigration & quarantine immigrants. Simple.

--> My nation belongs to my Government, governed by my people. Not a non-transparent, subject-to-corruption international agency

Again: nations should handle their borders.

That means a strong border policy focused on border defense from illegal entry, and reduced, quarantined, and/or eliminated immigration in times of pandemic.

And I disagree with your assessment especially your assertion of "unable". Sure, Some nations will have more difficulty than others-- self-sustainability being the main determining factor in terms of quarantining trade & immigrants.

This idea of a country hiding the pandemic-- Yes, we've already see that with China. And, Trump was attacked for closing down the border, but of course was the rational decision.

_____

Also, you present a false dichotomy: That by strictly controlling borders is mutually exlusive regardign a nationn's submission to globalistic where we give power to agencies subject to the human condition of greed, power-&-financial-corruption, and criminal financial conspiracy (look at the International Olympic Committee and FIFA).

That said, I also hold the view that the United Nations and WHO should not be responsible for owning, claiming power/responsibility over, or enforcing anything upon or within my particular Nation (The United States).

--> My nation belongs to my Government, governed by my people. Not a non-transparent, subject-to-corruption international agency

Stop with the globalism

Nations should handle their borders-- that's the point and root of a nation: to be born in a specifically territory.

You're disrespectfully referring to the work of Dr. Tyrone Hayes [1] of The University of California at Berkeley, who discovered that Syngenta's herbicide Atrazine is indeed an endocrine disruptor, causing frogs (of both genders I believe) to turn hemaphroditic, develop both male & female gonads-- i.e. males developing ovaries, females developing testes.

Do you... prefer pollutants in your water?

Do you... approve of chemical companies privatizing the gains (profits) of externalizing pollutants into innocent ecosystems and humans?

Or maybe... you just really love to be told what to think by media overlords [2].

- Web Portfolio showing 3 projects (or more). These can be from classes, personal projects, or overview descriptions of past work projects. -- for example, check out the template here [1] called "Portfolio" -- take it, repurpose it with your own content. Get it online. Add your web portfolio URL to your resume. (Once you've done everything else I suggest, the level up would be adding a blog to your portfolio)

- Github/Gitlab (to show your code)

- LinkedIn presence -- grow your network, share posts with hashtags that are related to your post/post's project. Follow important people. Connect with people you know.

- Add your resume to multiple job seeker sites: Indeed.com, Ziprecuiter.com, Dice.com, etc. Get yourself on at least 5, so that when recruiters search for keywords, your resume turns up.

Basically: Show you have the skills. And put yourself "out there" i.e. market yourself

Re:Ask HN: How worrying is the new Covid variant? on Friday November 26, 2021 @05:04PM (#29354657)
Given that the CDC lied to the US & World about the proper approach to self-protection (wearing masks), they certainly do not have my trust.

I'll take my chances. I will not trust the Federal government's dishonest "experts".

I think we need to take Money from those who have done the polluting, to their private financial gain, at the expensive of the public of our planet, since a certain timeframe-- such as 1950.

Those who have made decisions leading to massive pollution expulsion while they profited... those are the ones who should pay first.

People such as:

- The Koch brothers

- The Military and the politicians, bureaucrats, and Weapons company executives associated with bases & machines that have spilled the most pollutants

- Executives of Fossil Fuel companies

See, it's like we're playing this game where... a window was open and these executives were able to loot the house and escape. And now they are trying to close that window and run off with their loot.

Nope, bring them back. Hold them accountable. Take the assets they (their family, their estate) earned while polluting our planet.

Do that, before looking at the little guy and saying "Pay your fair share!"

Because my question is "What about those evil sociopathic polluting fat cats who not only got away, but lobbied and legislated to allow their escape"

Responses here really speaks to OP's question:

(Reddit.com thread) "If I am willing to put in the hard work, What in demand skills can I learn to gain $6k-$10k per month??"

Just a note for people who were a bit confused by the comment: this isn't about musical notes, but written notes for people confused by titles.
Definitely stick with the more mature things and the things other things are based on.

Example: If you’ve learned React, stick with it or React-native. Don’t learn a React derivative such as Next.

I think it just takes a bit of experience and chatting with other devs, and comparing libraries’ popularity metrics and reviews, to get a sense of where the ecosystem is headed in terms of framework/library traction.

Definitely don’t unfocus and learn random things. Learning should be a strategy towards a goal.

In my case it’s to have corporate in-demand skills and skills I can use to build my own projects. So, I focus on React, Node, PSQL, AWS tools, etc. while occasionally researching new tools and dabbling.

For example I’ve recently begun dabbling with Parcel, but only because I see it as relatively accepted in the community via chatrooms, forum posts, and articles. Otherwise I’d stick with webpack for reactjs compilation.
