>For God's sake, all healthcare workers including the cleaning staff have to get flu shots and show their immunizations every year, or they can't work. Even as a college student I had to get a meningitis shot.

The difference is that those examples aren't mandated by the federal government (as far as I know). I think most people are fine with companies and universities requiring people to be vaccinated.

There probably isn't enough research to make any of those claims conclusively yet.

"1 unit of insulin will cover 10g of carbohydrates"

This varies significantly from patient to patient actually. The same goes for basal rates (how much insulin you need to maintain a healthy blood glucose level excluding what you eat). As you mentioned, weight is a big factor but so are other things like age, sex, diet, activity level, stress level, and just how well your body reacts to the insulin. Some people respond very well to artificial insulin while others just don't for some reason. I believe it can also depend on how long you've been using insulin. Your body can slowly stop responding as well as it used to.

The numbers you came up with as an average sound pretty reasonable, but it's important to remember that daily dosage will vary quite a bit between individuals.

I've used both Novolog and Humalog (depending on what my insurance likes) and I didn't notice any difference in effectiveness for me. Everyone's different though.

This is why I switched to only wearing sneakers that don't have laces. The fact that there's a whole site dedicated to tying your shoes properly tells you everything you need to know and yet this is largely a solved problem. You might think I look childish wearing velco/slip-on shoes all the time but I get a lot of compliments on my Adidas and my Metcons.

I agree. I think the author is missing the point of diamond engagement rings.

Also, none of this seven points really sway me.

1. Basically anything that's expensive has had its price inflated in some way. That doesn't make it anyone any less willing to pay the price.

2. Same as number 1. Lots of things are only expensive because they've been marketed well. Does that make them less valuable?

3. No one buys an engagement ring as an investment. Who buys an engagement ring thinking they'll be able to recuperate costs?

4. This one has merit but there has also been a lot of progress in recent years. things like these have popped up and most major jewelers are taking part. Ask where your diamond was sourced before buying. https://www.responsiblejewellery.com/

5. Don't spend more than you can afford on anything. That's just common sense.

6. The author is really missing the point here. You can make an exact replica of a famous painting but it's still a replica. There's value in authenticity.

7. Same as number 5. Also, you could say this about any major purchase.

Awesome project!

Why limit it to just role-playing games? I know that RPG players have to struggle quite a bit to find other players, but as a board-game player, I'd like to see some other dense games on here like Gloomhaven or maybe some trading card games like Magic: The Gathering.
