"Close down your ancestral farms and do as we say or these horrible tribulations and curses will befall you, your cities will be drowned into the ocean, your lands will glow a fiery red, pestilences and disease will succumb you... probably in about 30 years from now when I'm dead and wont have to answer to you when I am wrong.". This is essentially what you are saying and what you believe. What did it take to put you and so many others into this mindset?

>The root cause is the system that is geared to keep houses always appreciating via supply constraints: aggressive zoning, discretionary permitting, NIMBYism.

I don't agree that this is the root cause. The root cause is the artificial demand on housing created though our mass immigration policy. Canada accepts _at least_ 500,000 people per year through various channels, "temporary" foreign workers, international students (many of whom stay), refugees, and of course, normal immigration. And I am low balling that number. It could be closer to 1 million.

When you bring in an entire large city worth of people, it stands to reason that this will cause massive pressure on housing prices. Now sustain that yearly increase for decades, and you have the problem we face today.

There are 9 million people in Canada (a country of around 40M) currently living here on 10 year visa's. - Crazy!

So there you have it. How could you leave that completely out from your argument and only blame zoning laws and nimbyism?

>it was a resource hog

Well, it had the ability to be one if a shade tree programmer didn't garbage collect their assets. Something that could easily be tested in an app platform. You could make amazing games that used only a few megs of RAM, or you could make a crappy app that hogs hundreds.

I remember someone posting an article of common nginx config security mistakes but can't find it. Does anyone remember? I would like to read through that again as well.

Its good to see that its mostly young people who are at lower risk that are of the unvaxed, however the majority of ICU cases in Canada are still of the unvaxed, so that's why I am curious what is the average age of the unvaxed in the ICU. If 92-99% of people over 60 are vaxed, but its the 60+ demographic of unvaxed taking up ICU spaces, what more can be demanded by the government? Forcing younger people who are unvaxed might not reduce ICU cases very much.

I want to lookup data on the average age of unvaxed patients currently in the ICU but so far have not found any.

>likely millions of lives saved and millions more would have been if not for morons spreading lies

This did not reflect what happened in the Pfizer 6-month trial involving 44,000 participants. All-cause mortality ended up higher on the vaccine group than the placebo group, perhaps something was offsetting the benefit of the vaccine.

>but this idea that we're all deficient and we all need to be taking huge doses is getting out of control on social media.

Agreed!

>Fixing a vitamin D deficiency is a positive improvement

Apparently, quite a lot of people are vitamin D deficient. As a computer nerd, I'm pretty sure I was.

I jumped on the train recently after the wife suggested it. And have heard some promising info from watching some John Campbell's videos and a bit of googling around about it. Been taking 4000/day since August and do feel better overall. Haven't caught any colds yet (knock on wood). From what I had read, 4000 was the max suggested amount to be safe. I'm hoping that I won't get any bad colds this winter by doing this.
