Just popped by to reference something and found folks are still finding my <a class="blank" href="https://estrip.org/articles/read/tinypliny/44920/Linkage_Disequilibrium_Blocks_Triangles.html">Linkage Disequilibrium</a> article useful. <br />
<br />
Who&#039;d have thought the article would help folks for this long. <br />

<br />
Addiction is a psychological disease. I fail to understand why we are not treating it on a war-footing - or even the same footing as several other relatively milder contagion. <br />
<br />
Why are cigarette companies even operating without paying for the health insurance of everyone on this planet? (well... shared equally by alcohol companies and arms and ammunition companies).<br />
<br />
To every smoker I know. Please try and quit. At this point, I will be sorry if you die, but I sure as hell won&#039;t forgive you if you force the repercussions of your disease on your family, friends and neighbours, knowing well the certainty of this happening.<br />

Maybe its proof that one never changes inherently. <br />
<br />
And I obliterated my FB account just like I shooed away my twitter page all those years back. There is something so indeterminably creepy about FB&#039;s security implementation. I am just not on board with it.<br />
<br />
On a related note, I don&#039;t write for leisure anymore. I sometimes wonder if this is making my general writing more unimaginative.  <br />

<br />
All smokers are clearly mentally sick. How is this &quot;healthy&quot;?<br />
<br />
Healthy smokers, my foot.<br />
