Accidental release or not, if they were attempting gain-of-function, which is bio-engineering, and they succeeded, that deserves inquiry. Especially if U.S. leadership, WHO, or NGOs were involved. To me, the "strength" of the cov

Evidence is not proof. There is lots of evidence. A hypothesis is not a theory. Being loose with language and concepts is dangerous.

The crux of the problem should be the grave injustice IF it was indeed lab generated and leaked. That is why I refer to it as a Lab Genesis, not a leak. The mere downplaying of the possibility is criminally insane.

Downplaying the lab leak is dangerous, because it is the difference between an accident and mass murder. I think the best evidence for a lab leak is common sense. https://dispatchito.substack.com/p/the-strongest-evidenc

Visa and Mastercard are not issuing "sanctions", nobody told them to cut off Russia, they are willfully making calculated business decisions.

I don't think this is act of war protest. These corporation know the inside score, they help write the narrative. I predict these companies are giving up Russia for good. This is a signal of a long term shift in world order and thes

Legal "Corporate" person-hood is a total oxymoron. They are literally incorporate(d), which means "without a body". That a corporation can legally act as a person is pure oligarchic garbage law.

How do you get the browser to send the Authentication header for every request thereafter? Typically you Auth once, and set cookies which the browser sends automatically with each HTTP request, even if the user is not on your domain. You w

Hm, why have browser vendors neglected the UX for this standard, no-cookie auth method? Why is there no corresponding markup in HTML5?

You can't indemnify health, only property. Personal costs related to health have no bounds; for instance if you lose your job because of health, your "out of pocket" is your whole salary. Which real insurance would cover.

Health Insurance is a political scam of epic proportions. There is no indemnity involved. It is not real insurance. You don't use insurance to pay a monthly bill, you have it for black swan events. Nor should insulin be 1000/m

Cancer seems to increase with age, so could we not conclude the opposite, that alcohol somehow aids survival? Studies should not come with conclusions. Just the data, and unbiased analysis of the data if you must. No one statistical study
