There is nothing "nut" about noticing that Covid-19 is jumping from human to a human with easiness way to impressive for an "animal virus", unlike it's other family members, like SARS and MERS.

Gain of function research of a Covid family virus, in a lab created to research, wait for it... Covid family of viruses, how unlikely would that be?

We'd like to think Russians would depose him, but he's made that rather difficult.

This is so delusional it hurts, guys. Sorry to bring it to you, but chauvinism is rampant in Ruzzia (and always was), Putin is a logical product, not some sort of fluke/deviation, of Ruzzian society.

If you'd dare going and checking out what ordinary Ruzzians say even anonymously on their boards (e.g. yaplakal.com) you'd rather be depressed.

Ruzzia is aking nazi Germany, a fascist state, who's citizens are fine with invading and even WIPING OUT ("Ukraine is not a real state or nation") neighbouring country for some "geopolitical" reasons.

Yes they are REALLY FINE with it.

There is no way to cure such country, bar major defeat. (and yes, I remember about nukes)

Had it go the way our liebe Deutsche Freunde expected (e.g. see what von Linden was saying), the war would be over within couple of days, no major sanctions would need to happen as there (again) would simply be "new reality".

Oh, also, conveniently, Deutschland would even save 5000 helmets that they, after long debate, decided to send to Ukraine, as they only reached Ukrainians 12 days into invasion.

Even today, Germany is the main reason why there is no full SWIFT ban on Ruzzia and the main reason Putler's regime gets about 1 billion Euro a day.

You expected anything less from Trump? he hasn't ever given a shit about the Truth or being social. What he cares about is spreading his "version" of the truth, one where he is a hero and only ever speaks facts. Stating anything but that will never be permitted in something where trump has ultimate power.

I love how I'm one of the handful of users wondering about the "bannhammer left and right".

European here.

Based on my experience with both american echo chambers: both are terrifying in ways, but the the conservative one is better.

Conservatives will dogpile on you and call you things.
"Liberals" will dogpile on you, call you WORSE things AND BAN you.

That is exactly the point of creating new media platform: something that is OK with opinion diversity.

Comment Re:THERE WOULD BE NO "PIE" WITHOUT APPLE (Score 1) 275

My pre smartphone mobile device was called Compaq Ipaq H5550.

It had windows mobile on it and was hell of a thing back then.

Combining it into a phone, when tech allows, was beyond obvious.

When my Ipaq broke, and it was at around 2006... there were suddenly no devices on the market. Perhaps because companies were already working on "but also a phone" alternatives.

Something rather obvious.

So, the real takeaway is that Apple's 3% reduction is 100% in line with the other big platform's 4% reduction.

Lol.
Nobody forces you to use google's app store. You can use other app stores without rooting your phone.
Unlnike, you know, that other company, that starts with the same letter as the word Assholes.
