So, the reason given is that you have a virus that exists naturally. If we can artificially find a variant that is more lethal and or contagious (those are often the vectors that are selected for) you can then calculate the delta between th

turnout is typically measured by eligible voters vs. Registered voters.

Amazing work there. Full Decrim and therapeutic use of mushrooms. And Dc decriminalized mushrooms.

This is not true. psychedelics are widely used for micro-dosing, which isn’t about being high - its meant to be sub perceptible dosing. Also for therapy and mental well being.

Can’t they still use the pelts? Perhaps the gov will just buy them all and kill them?

It was banned but the ban was lifted a few years ago by Trump.

Yes was banned due to academic outcry, but then lifted by Trump. “Gain of Function” is often a dog whistle for bioweapons research.

Or maybe they were off by a couple orders of magnitude! Seems like a waste of material and engineering if it wasn’t supposed to support a train. But if an error a fortunate one.

Maybe they take a cut of the shipping and handling fees? I had the same question.

Or my car.

Neat but mostly just PR I think. A gem lab run on renewables isn’t really remarkable in 2021. I’m more into his vegan football club!

This would probably be awesome as an immersive VR “game”.

I love this comment. I think every so often I get the urge to make a comment that ultimate burns off a few Karma points.

Ooo this is very important!

Oh I find online shopping even worse tbh.

You'd actually need to figure out the price at which you could undercut the entire exiting nickel / iron market if you wanted to sell such a thing. It would just crater the prices since it's greater than the total global dema

I could see local municipalities suing the leading wipe manufacturers in a community for labeling their products "flushable" and having a pretty good shot at winning. I'm curious what sort of products and systems a world that

More a sarcastic expression of my disdain for the North American Shopping Mall and those who call her home.

Facebook itself is sort of a DDOS attack on your pre-frontal cortex isn't it?

I imagine they used this to also serve up suggestions on the kiosk. Mens vs Womens, Bongs vs. Bath linens, etc. the NYC subway system has big human sized iphone like map displays complete with a facetime camera, presumably capturing the sam

I don't know why this is downvoted. I thought the same thing. "Shoppers had no reason to expect their image was being collected by an inconspicuous camera, or that it would be used, with facial recognition technology, for analysis

I wonder how often this actually works. Especially now with virtual systems. It’s a pretty amazing hack if you can pull it off. And also, couldn’t be that hard to hide your tracks so it’s not clear if it was you or someone who supports you.

by ada1981 6y ago
Oooo that too I guess. Also looks like this multiplies the download. I wonder if they cache it somehow so if the url is requested more than once it doesn’t pull it again. I wonder how much bandwidth one could consume with a bot account. Pre

So maybe you submit motion to dismiss request for a number of random cases. You become hidden among the others.

I wonder if this could be used as an DoS attack vector. Flood users with bot messages with dynamic links to huge files.

These debates in the context of a people who still routinely get their food from factory farms and other animals is fascinating to behold.

A competent hacker could deep fake zoom hearings and communications and have the actual prosecution dismissing the case on video.
