Before they found a way to make Covid 19 political, they were reporting on that lab that was selling and buying animals at the local market. They were reporting it in an informative way, not even blaming china in general. Then people on both sides went crazy, and all real reporting got sidelined for rhetoric. Either way, I doubt there is anything the world’s governments could do about either random bio labs in China being too lax or China itself researching bio weapons. (Two of my grandparents died on the same day of covid 3 years ago, so I definitely don’t dismiss either option as completely not mattering, but I also don’t think either thing would make any real difference as I couldn’t do anything about it either way personally and it is laughable to think any government will.)

Barely matters, but I would bet on the latter but people always read lab leak like it is the former and usually call it crazy, as of a natural virus leaking from a lab that researches them is impossible.

As a Florida man I can verify that we break into rock pits to play. Rock pits full of quicksand traps. I went to collect fossil shells. They would have never found me.

We already dismissed him as an outlier.

Depending on what you want to pay, I can produce you a study saying it leads to healthy relationships, upright citizenship and heathy skin.

Yeah, I mostly said that because the fantasies everybody online is having about Trump leaving office before his term is up has that one major flaw that would affect anybody hoping for it. They should probably be hoping for Trump’s continued health. Though I have zero idea what JD would actually do if he was in office. He would definitely not be as chaotic, for good or ill.

I would Pay $60 for a switch physical cartridge with all of their GB through GBA Pokemon games, especially if there was a way to trade pokemon with myself. I would still play them all on roms on my other devices, but I would totally buy that cartrage. But I’m not paying $20 for a digital version of just one of them.

I would way rather play on a platform that allows me to save state at any time and as many as I want (Though I guess most of my devices are set up to have 10-20 saves max, but I could set them up for however many I want.)

Well, it is pretty rare, but those 40 cases were all caused by a reaction to the black tattoo ink. If they didn’t get the tattoo they wouldn’t have had the problem. Still, if there are really only 40 cases in Australia and 25% of Austrailians have tattoos, it seems like there is just a 5.8 per million chance of having that problem. Obviously they have to be pre-disposed, but without a test for predisposition, then you always run that 0.00058% risk that getting a tattoo will blind you or cause you to have to take immunosuppresants forever.

From what I read in the 10 minutes I was interested in it, it seems like the people who spend way more time on that than us aren’t 100% sure that they are a distinct species and only came to that conclusion fairly recently. I like raccoons in general, so I would like to see that distinct family of raccoons protected. I’m not going to argue much that they aren’t a distinct species. They do apparently have a different number of teeth now than their mainland kin. Mountain folk have a different number of teeth than city folk too, but that doesn’t make them extrahuman.

Pretty sad. I do wonder what a healthy population looks like though, since they only exist on one island. They are decreasing, and have been for a while, so probably not 250. Also, they are barely different enough from common raccoons to qualify as a separate species, so i think they are a hard sell to expend much effort on.

(Just including the graph for reference. I’m not sure it helps with proper description or the answer the teacher was asking for, but you can see that from one direction it goes negative as you approach 8 and from the other it goes to positive infinity.)

Yeah, I’ve enjoyed some games that wouldn’t have made the cut if cuts were to be made. I don’t want steam curating what is on there. Sounds like GoG does, which is another reason not to use it I suppose. (I guess I was being a little rhetorical there, I actually plan on checking GOG more often and even installed their store program on my PC last night to make checking easier. Still, I don’t think throwing shade at Steam over being a platform for selling games that is more open is how to draw in business.)

Truly, this is the end times.
