This is great, speed running the meme. 1. There were no labs. 2. There was no gain of function research being funded. 3. The baseless lab leak conspiracy theory is hateful extreme far right Russian disinformation that is very dangerous to o

You really believe some billionaire oligarchs propaganda corporation over foremost self-proclaimed expert Anthony "I am the science" Fauci? Something an agent of Putin would say.

That does not follow. Many things have diminishing returns curves.

by stinkbeetle 3mo ago
No that was a conspiracy theory fueled by Russian disinformation, the scientists and experts testified that there was no gain of function work being done and debunked it.

Seems like a reach. Not that economies were particularly ever designed, at that level, but they were also "designed" around sailing ships, horses, rail locomotives, steam power, hand harvesting wheat, weaving fabric by hand, mail

The problem is regulations like these rarely "pay for externalities". They impose compliance costs or costs to skirt the regulations. CO2 emissions have not been solved despite all the regulations and taxes, quite the opposite the

I think you might be confusing what the issue is. As we see in this case, the (likely) person in this case was actually found from the relatively small number of people who fit this criteria, so police were (likely) right to suspect these p

A biogas turbine for the last few percent of demand?? Peak electricity demand occurs when solar generation has dropped to nearly zero. It's not the last few percent, it's the last 90 something percent demand. This is the entire pr

> stinkbeetle, welcome to my | hide | section, I have no more time for this level of credulity. Wonderful, I can not stand this kind of pathetic bloviating pearl clutching, so you're doing me a real favor.

That was not your question, you asked about "we" not curious people. For the latter, there is no should about it, they just do. That is the nature of curiosity.

by stinkbeetle 4mo ago
Lots of uncurious people don't care about understanding the world around them. This story probably isn't for them, and I'm certainly not here to try to change those kinds of attitudes.

Yes that's what spoofing is, but why wouldn't they be able to? (EDIT: I see the other reply thread is already asking the same thing, didn't intend to ask about the same thing)

by stinkbeetle 4mo ago
Why would that make spoofing impossible?

I'm not asking you to believe anything. I noted that anonymous internet partisans, politicians, or anybody else with vested interests and who fail to offer any evidence or reasoning for their claims are not trustworthy. Not even when t

Of course you find them untrustworthy, because their position on Musk's salute threatens the non-negotiable tenets of your worldview. You decided it is a nazi salute, therefore anybody who disagrees is untrustworthy/Zionist/e

The entire topic in this thread is the credibility of people or groups to judge this. Are you a simpleton or something?

I really don't give a rat's ass what your twisted hateful little denier mind does, except I suppose for morbid fascination to know what "world view" it is you believe that i am "pushing".

I'm not pretending anything other than the ADL has a lot more authority than the incoherent rambling of partisans and conspiracy theorists who think they know it all. Clearly people who think Corey Booker's exact same actions, or
