God I hope so.

This is something I've never really understood. It seems like a really bad move for most governments to put a lot of restrictions on people which end up being really bad for their economies, and involves a huge amount of spending and also international collaboration, just for some idea of "control" that doesn't seem to really benefit them in any way. The only control that's being exerted at the moment is the ability to tell people not to go to public spaces which doesn't seem like something that would be in their best interest in the first place without covid. For this to make any sense there needs to be something more tangible that governments are gaining imo.

I think the reason this is done is because most people die of heart failure, brain haemorrhage, asphyxiation etc. it's often pretty hard to point and that and say "the virus caused the heart failure" or "the vaccine caused the heart failure" etc. I don't know about Finland specifically but I believe most places count vaccine deaths similarly as "people who died shortly after having the vaccine where there isn't some obvious other cause".

If we think that the two death numbers are at all comparable, then you've got 100 deaths with 2 mil vaccines (incidence rate of 1 in 20000, and it's probably lower because I haven't looked at the number of people who just had 1 dose, and the death figures might include that), and ~1000 with ~113k total Covid cases reported in Finland (incidence rate of a bit under 1 in 100). I don't see data anywhere for hospitalizations in Finland, but again the incidence of hospitalization with the virus has been significantly higher than the incidence of hospitalization after taking the vaccine in other countries.

Obviously there are a lot more factors that play into your risk like age, state of health etc. but even though the numbers we have are pretty ballpark, the fact that there's a 2 orders of magnitude difference means it's almost certainly safer to get a vaccine than get covid. It's pretty understandable to be worried about the severe side effects from the vaccine, but it's worth the risk in most cases. The only reason I can think that getting a vaccine would be worse for you is if you think your chances of actually getting covid are extremely low, and that can change pretty rapidly if for example there's a new wave in Finland.

I might do some reading on the breakdown of adverse effects per age group. I definitely know a few people in their 20s who have had severe effects, one who was on a ventilator, then got a pseudomonas infection in the lungs (fortunately there were antibiotics that worked) and who is still having severe breathing problems over a year later. That's anecdotal though so it doesn't mean much.

Not sure what you'd call it (soundscape maybe?), but Dean Blunt's "The Narcissist II" album does it really well, lots of sirens, firework sounds, weird clashing synths, and other odd sound effects that just really set a scene for me. The track "Direct Line 2" is a good example, but pretty much the whole album does it.

How far back does this go? It puts me squarely in the NA blob which is why I'm asking.

Hey Man, I Think It Is Quite Rude And Also Incorrect To Refer To HDD Storage As Spinning Rust Because Hard Disk Drives Have Not Used Iron(III) Oxide For Their Magnetic Recording Media For Decades Instead Opting For Cobalt-Chrome-Platinum Alloys Because Of Their Increased Magnetocrystalline Anisotropy. Additionally, The Use Of Rust As A Pejorative Term Does Not Really Make Sense As Most Failure Issues With HDDs Do Not Occur Due To Failure Of The Recording Media Itself (Which Depending On The Exact Anisotropy Energy, Can Store Data For Longer Than The Age Of The Universe) But Because Of The "Spinning" Part And Head. In Any Case, Personally I Will Not Be Using Microsoft Windows 9 Because I Have Ubuntu Installed On My Desktop.

Please Do Not Be So Inconsiderate In The Future, And Thanks For Listening.

Hey man, why was I banned from this discord, all I typed was "im going to the gym" kind of confused by this.

This is really interesting because I'm getting 40 on a listen server as well as my own server.

Another thing to note is that searching for "41 metal" tf2 ammo pack on google gives several old results from people who just seem to assume that you always get 41 metal and/or quote the 20.5% number so I think I'm right that it used to be that way.

So I'm pretty sure internally that small health kits used to (and small ammo kits possibly still do) give 20.5% of max health/ammo respectively rather than 20. With metal, this would be 40 or 41 metal depending on which way the rounding goes. Wondering if there's something going on somewhere that uses the 20.5% code/does the rounding inconsistently and however that's decided happens on loading the map or starting the server? I'm pretty sure small ammo kits always used to give 41 metal? Or am I remembering this wrong.

I doubt this is solely a villa issue but maybe somehow you can specify the percentage for ammo kits and it's set to 20.5% for small ones on villa (don't use hammer so idk about this one). Then when the map is read by the server it could be doing some sort of inconsistent rounding?

If there was a non system wide version I might add it to The Config. I think if you did it though rcon you could have changing sens as a twitch chat command.

demoticks.tf uses log files to generate events. This is parsing stvs which contain way more info. Pretty sure logs airshots include people who are jumping, which if I'm reading this right this doesn't "airshot while blasting".
