You're wrong. See my reply to u/hiddenempire.
What else would you even multiply, if not the price of the original item? That's how the price of the tariff itself is calculated. Multiplying by 1 is pointless, since it just returns the value of whatever other variable you multiply it with, to begin with.
But anyways, we're just arguing semantics. I am perfectly aware that we both know basic math. It was just your original phrasing that I found questionable.
Even today, at work, I heard a discussion about vaccines and covid, and one guy mentioned that people still caught it because not everyone got vaccinated because "they believe what they read on the internet". Coming from someone who likely believes everything he sees on TV.
The one that really got me stuck as a kid was the Forest Temple. I would get the bow, but then I'd be stuck because I'd be missing one key. So I'd go clear all of the overworld, all of the Fire Temple, all of the Water Temple, then eventually go back to the Forest Temple, which would still be blocking me from becoming a child again.
Eventually, after a few weeks of that, I noticed that I needed to drop down one of those seemingly endless pits that you'd get access to, after hitting those eye targets with the bow. I had instinctually avoided those holes, thinking I'd just void out if I fell in them. Over a month stuck in that game, just to find out that it was that simple. Everything else went smoothly after that.
Someone who didn't actually exist, too. They had plenty of people to choose from, but they decided to go with someone mentioned in the account of a single Jesuit's journal that was proven to be filled with countless fabrications, who was never mentioned by any other historical account, and who was never even mentioned in the trip heading towards Japan in the first place, to be the most eligible person to choose as their main character.
The whole project was retarded from start to finish.
Fyi, the Frenchisism you mentioned is spelled: "coup d'état".
"État" is the French word for "State". As in, "United States" translates to "États-Unis"
The "d' " is basically just a preposition that means "of". It's the shortened form of the word "de" and is used in front of a word that starts with a vowel.
Not the person you were responding to, so I'll only address the first part.
Yes, troons are extremely religious. They rabidly believe in leftism, viciously defend it even when it's contradicted by facts or logic, attack everyone they consider heretics or apostates to their doctrine, and blindly follow the Word of their religious thought leaders every time new commandments are dictated, even when these new marching orders directly oppose previous directives.
If that is not a religious zealot, then I don't know what is.
And some of the documents show that the only things the CIA wanted blacked out were mentions of Israel or Mossad. The connections to them were the only things they wanted to keep secret from the public at large.
It really does seem like Jewish interests were the primary reason why JFK was assassinated.
No. It exists. In fact, that was the original intent of the technology.
About 15 years ago, I worked a summer job at an air traffic control center as a software analyst. At some point, there was a golf tournament organized as a fundraiser for cancer treatment research, followed by a supper. I did not attend the tournament that happened during the day, but I did attend the supper, which was right after my work day. Of course, some of the scientists were also in attendance. Normally, I would not have been invited to their table, but I had mentioned to one of them before we sat down that I'd survived cancer twice, so they were interested in speaking with me. I asked questions about their research, and they went in great detail about it.
Their method involved creating "viruses" that were specifically designed to target specific cancer cells. (It's possible that they only called them as such because they wanted to vulgarize their explanation for my benefit.) They would take a sample of the cancer cells in the specific patient, and then design the "virus" to specifically target and consume solely that one type of cell. When I asked about what was preventing the virus from mutating and targeting different parts of the body, their reply was that it was extremely unlikely, because the lifetime of the "virus" they injected was so short that they were more likely to die out as soon as their target was eliminated, before they were able to develop the ability to target different cells. They followed it up with specifying that they were still in the experimental phase, that it was not something doctors were allowed to recommend right off the bat as a possible cancer treatment, but that it was an option that was being floated around for patients for whom every other cancer treatment method failed. After all, not every part of the body can be targeted by radiotherapy, and chemotherapy only works for so long and to a certain extent. They mentioned a few cases where patients were only given a few months to live before their method was recommended to them, who were seemingly able to make full recoveries using it, and were still under observation for any side effects, which so far had not manifested in any way.
My impression after the discussion was that it sounded extremely promising, but limited. It was something that had to be customized for every patient, and for every cancer, which would clearly greatly increase the cost. It was not a method that could be used off-the-shelf, with a generic solution for everyone. It had to be very specifically tailored for the individual, else it wouldn't work and may target other cells, similarly to what chemotherapy does.
This method is absolutely not appropriate for creating vaccines. It seemingly could be called a "cure for cancer", but it is not universal or free, by any means. I fully support research and fundraising for mRNA treatments to cancer. I strongly oppose it for any intent it is not suited for.
