Do you still stand by this?

The good old "Think of the children" argument again... This is an attack on online privacy, again. I hate it.

It is the parents responsibility to keep their kids safe. We don't ban knives either just because a child could accidentally get hurt by one. And apart from that the regulations are not even well thought out, they will not stop a determined teenager with a lot of time on their hands.

Not OP, but it looks like they are using texlab for completion: https://github.com/neovim/nvim-lspconfig/blob/master/doc/server_configurations.md#texlab

Apart from that there is https://github.com/lervag/vimtex with file type support, document compilation, etc. For grammar checking I use https://github.com/neovim/nvim-lspconfig/blob/master/doc/server_configurations.md#ltex and for snippets https://github.com/L3MON4D3/LuaSnip. See https://github.com/iurimateus/luasnip-latex-snippets.nvim for latex snippets and what you can do with them.

Some facts about the Gaza Strip:

  • Population: ~2.3 Million
  • Area: 365 km² (141 sq mi)
    • 41 km (25 mi) long, from 6 to 12 km (3.7 to 7.5 mi) wide
  • Population density: ~6300/km² 1

Gaza is very densely populated. In Gaza live as many people as in Houston. But Houston has an area of 1658.6 km² (640.4 sq mi). Thus Gaza has nearly five times the population density of Houston. New York City is the only city in the US with a population of more than a million and a higher population density than Gaza. 2 The tallest building in Palestine stands at 76.1 m (255 ft). 3

A little less than half of the population of Gaza is made up of children. 4

There are only three ("legal") ways in and out of Gaza:

  • Rafah Crossing into Egypt in the south
  • Kerem Shalom Crossing into Israel in the south
  • Erez Crossing into Israel in the north

Gaza has a very small port. It can only be used by small fisher boats. 5

Israel built a wall and fences around Gaza. 6

Considering that recent polls show the AfD at ~30% in some states, I doubt banning it will work. The only reasons it's gotten this big is abysmal politics by the current and former govt. I'm pretty sure banning it is only going to make things worse. And I am not at all convinced you can truly consider them ban worthy like actual Nazis, even though the current govt would very much like you to think this way.

Less regulations, it's easier to do "funny stuff" like gain of function research (frankly a euphemism for biological warfare research) in China than in the US. And it's not like the US is just funding the biolab, they have people on site and oversight as well.

Scientists still don’t have a clear explanation yet for why the vaccines cause the condition, according to Dr. Paul Burton, Moderna's chief medical officer. He expects the virus’s spike protein, once produced in the cell after vaccination, may generate a reaction in the body that can cause inflammation in the heart.

“We don’t understand yet and there’s no good mechanism to explain it,” he said.

And that's the exact reason why, under normal circumstances, it takes years until you can bring a new vaccine on the market. Even more so, if said vaccine is based on a new technology that's never been widely tested on humans before.

True two months ago but now China has achieved something entirely impossible for the US, namely the imprisonment of more people than even live in the US: Nearly 400 million people are under covid lockdown in China

Can you give a little more context please? Do any news outlets report on this, how many people did protest?

While I think this is very interesting, this submission kinda breaks

Please only post links to actual news sources, no tabloid sites, etc

doesn't it?

 

Of course the virus itself won't disappear but hopefully all measures limiting our daily lives.

Personally I think Omicron is the last variant of concern and as many countries have agreed on it's fortunately not dangerous enough for restrictions to make sense anymore.

I don't think a new more dangerous variant will emerge. If it did, I'd think that to be rather suspicious.
