Anyway if you'd like a lightweight primer on all things quantum, you can check out the series of short intro videos I made with the Perimeter Institute, Quantum 101: perimeterinstitute.ca/quantum-101-... Just because quantum mechanics isn't spooky doesn't mean it's not really, really cool.

Io non sono pratico di assicurazioni sanitarie, anche se visto lo stato della sanità italiana temo lo diventerò in futuro. Tuttavia, ho visto assicurazioni all’opera ad esempio in caso di incendi, più di una volta.

Nothing angers me more than to see people who were born into money arguing against government assistance as "handouts"
That's not an opinion you've earned the right to hold.
Your entire life was built on a handout.

Sometimes the combination of arrogance and ignorance is breathtaking. Yes, US health care has high admin costs; that's because it relies so much on private insurers. Govt-run health insurance has much lower overhead

Hi. I have studied immunology my entire career.
Everything in this is absolute bullshit.
But sane-washing RFK Jr is giving him even more outsized confidence to spew harmful lies that are not only out of touch with basic facts, they cause irreparable harm to society.
