Neither. We are talking about observable consequence of certain unhealthy habits, such as liver cirrhosis and short term memory problems for chronic alcoholics, or emphysema for chronic smokers of various unhealthy substances.
Heavy pot smokers that start in teens hit the magic number of "fuck, my alveoli are enlarged and can't function as oxygen exchange all that well any more" (emphysema) around the age of 30 though. Smokers that start around the same time usually hit that about ten years later or so. It's one of those things they don't really advertise because it doesn't sound as scary as "oh god that awful looking cancerous lung" but pretty much any doctor that works with human lungs will tell you that onset of emphysema happens much earlier and is a severely limiting factor to human life.
Cancer comes much later, but not being able to take more than a few running steps before you start running out of oxygen even though you're pushing 60 breaths a second is quite a nasty problem to have for decades before cancer comes to finish you off.
Then there's the whole issue of drug use and addiction being concentrated to the same people, so most addicts are to an extent mixed users.
My point is that we know that alcohol does in fact cause severe mental problems.
As a result, the similarity points at the conclusion that it's something else entirely that's affecting the issue, such as for example better diagnosis. Like not seeing things like homosexuality, weird behavior, or just being different as a mental illness that needs to be treated. This was a common issue in early 20th century and that is the comparison point.
Finns use alcohol heavily, but marijuana usage in the country is fairly low and stable afaik. If anything, that would suggest that alcohol isn't inducing schizophrenia. Which is pretty unlikely to be true.
Study itself makes it clear that they assume that certain factors causing the mental illness have declined. Perhaps it's the brutality of life, and not needing to worry about tomorrow? We do have quite a bit better social security network around here than before WW2 for example.
None as far as I know. Most people (not just tanks) that weren't utterly clueless knew how to rebind keys, and vast majority of people I know used A and D for strafing, just like in FPS games.
Default button assignments in WoW were almost as bad as default interface in WoW was.
I agree, but there is a way to avoid it so far. Do not log on to youtube unless you absoultely need to (it's mostly usable without login) and use POP3 to fetch your gmail.
That way you can avoid all the "do you want to join google+? yes/no, but we're going to make you join it anyway" prompt.
So do Western countries. Do you have a point, or are you just enjoying pretending that China is somehow worse than Western countries in this regard?
Because we're not. The only difference between us and China right now is that we are so far ahead that China has a whole lot more of our stuff that it can reverse engineer than we have of theirs.
Once this situation becomes a bit more balanced, you can expect the standard industrial espionage and reverse engineering to balance out on all sides and business will continue as usual.
I'm not discounting it, I'm merely pointing out that Israel is a fairly clear outlier, and there's a reason for it - the financier is US, and you're comparing spending to Israel's GDP.
When you compare it to Nordics, that do not have such a large country actually doing the bankrolling, the comparison becomes a bit silly.
Israel is above everyone by a large margin because of the military R&D, which is actually sponsored by US. As a result, the relation to GDP of Israel is massively skewed, as it's basically bankrolled by US.
Read the thread ahead to find out why you are wrong. Another poster sourced papers on the subject which cite metabolism period of days rather than years.
If you think that any Western nation doesn't have reverse engineering technology, I have even more land on the Moon to sell you. We still have far more know-how in reverse engineering that China simply due to Cold War experience where West was stealing from USSR and vice versa.
Hell, take a look at F-35. Reverse engineered MiG-29 HMS, coupled with reverse engineered Yak-141 STOVL system, then improved upon through modern technology. Chinese have a long way to go before they're even on par with us when it comes to reverse engineering. They'll probably get there eventually, where they can not only 1:1 or ever 1:less than 1 copy, but actually improve on reverse engineered concepts, but that day is not yet here.
Healthy mix of socialism and capitalism that works much better than pure capitalism, plus small country needs to get more out of the small population than big one. It can't afford to waste human potential in the way a big country like US or China can.
As a result, efficiency counters tend to be up all over the board for Nordic countries.
If you think China is better at treating its workers, I have land on the Moon to sell you.
And we're talking research here, not employment. And in that regard, GP is correct - spending does not equal results. China needs some time to develop the proper R&D culture, as it's simply not there yet. It has the spending power, but it lacks efficiency.
Hi, my name is privacy. There are laws protecting me. They have nothing to do with copyright. They have everything to do with this scenario you described.
Also, please take your faux "oh think of the children" and shove it where the sun doesn't shine.
So tell me. What stops you from recognizing the fact that you basically agree that everyone here was correct and you incorrect, and all you're doing now is desperately trying to mess with words just to avoid admitting you were incorrect in the original post?
I'm not sure what "medicals" you consult, or for that matter who "medicals" are, but pretty much all educated medics appear to disagree with you.
My point is pointing out your obvious failures at proving your point, which is apparently lost on you.
I suppose considering that you still don't grasp that you're wrong in spite of overwhelming evidence presented, the discussion is indeed pointless. Can't turn a highly opinionated believer.
And yeah, folks are still dying of rabies near 100%. No therapeutic vaccines exist for it at all. You said it yourself.
You'll excuse me if I go back to reality while you stay in this fantasy world of yours.
For that price, you can probably add two-three decent separate access points for far better coverage to a budget router and still stay under the price.

I'm not here to say it's a good thing. I'm here to point out a way to avoid having to mess around with the g+ crap for majority of people.

We're talking human body here. Unlike pieces of paper or plastic, human bodies have metabolism that removes various toxins from the body with time.

Some people complain about everything. The point is that overwhelming majority doesn't.
In all the honesty, steam largely removes version control from you as well, and few are complaining in the long run.
You know, with your "medicals" quip you pretty much demonstrated that your grasp on medical terminology is nonexistent even on the very basics.
And yet to persist to argue about complex terminology in the same field.
There is a description for people like you. "Too stupid to realize the depth of their own stupidity".
"Long term value" usually means over several years. Not what happens in a year.

It's not Europe. It's UK. The country that likes to take the worst of the US, the worst of the EU, mix them together and implement.
Incidentally, I think employing a voodoo priest would probably be cheaper also =D
So you call it "passive vaccine" now.
