In a sample of 1 million people, 1 person will have the disease, 30,000 however will test positive for having the disease. Notice how the false positives count is way higher than the actual positive count.

I was just thinking that too. So I’m gonna assume we’re right
Fun fact, even Fred thought Donny was a dumbass
They still exist. They’re just from Iran.

Yeah, I unironically want this.
Ehhh, I think Debian should be like a 10-15 year old civic or something. You know an “ol’ reliable” type. It isn’t up to date and it’s not flashy, but it works and it works well.
Mint would probably be like a 2 year older version but with a fresh coat of paint and a lifted suspension.

7·10 days agohe’s never exposed a crime in his life.
Oh come on he talks a lot about all the crimes that the bidens and Obamas did do/are currently doing. You know all the crimes, the crimes he keeps just calling crimes and never enumerating or identifying specifically. Those crimes that surely did really super doper did happen.

news@lemmings.world•Project Salt: Anti-ICE protesters clog Target checkouts to purchase specific item after immigration raidsEnglish
7·11 days agoDude, they DoS-ed a store. They bought a shit tone of salt then returned it. Wasting the cashier’s time, the return person’s time, and the stocking person’s time. Making those employee’s waste time instead of helping actual customers buy stuff, return stuff, or stock actual things needing to be restocked. I can imagine a lot of real customers are going to get frustrated and just leave costing target real money
I mean, look at the specs of a smart TV or smart fridge. The specs on them are shit and they run Linux.
Hell there are whole distros designed to run on minimal as fuck hardware.
Yeah I’ve personally seen it do shit like that a few times. Its been a bug for awhile, don’t know if its fixed or not but I’m on CoMaps now and actively contributing to OSM
Both of her feet are right feet.
Hey OP. That’s not the patient’s left leg, it’s her right leg.
Yes. People are willing to lie for money, and a lot of those questions asked for transfusable blood products are asked to make sure donating is safe for both you and the recipient. Now some questions asked only impact certain blood products, aspirin only impacts the utility of your
plasmaplatelets for example. Now those paid plasma centers ask a lot fewer questions as they only need to make sure you’d be okay parting with the plasma.It’s regulated by the FDA and lying on those blood donation forms is a crime as its both a legal document and considered tampering with the blood supply. As with everything in the medical field there is a required paper trail.
EDIT: my blood product in my example was wrong. It has been updated. If you’re curious how I know so much about blood donation, my roommate works as a phlebotomist at a nearby blood bank.
One time back in AP physics on a test I was prompted with “Find the accelerating force on the electron”. I could not think of the way to do that in the moment, so I literally wrote No, and wrote down a fake answer so I could use that number for the next part of the problem. I got back the test a few days later and the teacher wrote a smiley face down there. Apparently I made her laugh so long and so hard her family had to check in on her so she just gave me the points.
Please note, in the US at least, if you’re being paid for plasma then the plasma is non transfusable, and is being sold for medical research or cosmetics.








Its right 97% of the time. That does not mean you have a 97% chance of having the disease. The 3% error rate accounts for significantly more false positives than it accounts for false negatives on a disease that’s 1 in a million. Again, with a 3% error rate, there will be 30000 false positive test results in a million. 30000 in a million is a larger number than 1 in a million.
