There's a strong bio-philosophical argument that you can't have consciousness without a body.

There was a day when /.ers didn't need to be spoonfed everything.

Can't sell it one way? Change the definition and force it down their throats.

"To our knowledge, there is no current precedent for an mRNA-based immunotherapy such as the type we are developing being approved for sale by the FDA, European Commission or any other regulatory agency elsewhere in the world. Although we expect to submit BLAs for our mRNA-based product candidates in the United States, and in the European Union, mRNA therapies have been classified as gene therapy medicinal products, other jurisdictions may consider our mRNA-based product candidates to be new drugs, not biologics or gene therapy medicinal products, and require different marketing applications. "

The desire to have unfettered biological control over their populations? I don't want to live in a country that has to follow the edicts of unelected, international bureaucrats in forcing genetic modification onto the populace. We won't know the damage from by the last round of wildcat genetweaking for two generations.

Note, Pfizer described their mRNA technology as genetic therapy in their SEC filings, not as a vaccine or other prophylactic.

There is only one reaction: All future submissions should use a Headshot Square from Bert Reynolds infamous certerfold shot.

The Metaverse is anything you want it to be!
We should build what Neal Stephenson described in Snow Crash and give it away just to piss Zuck and the crypto fanbois off.

The Apache web server was originally called such because, originally, it was a series of patches (man: patch) to the original http server open source project, hence, it was "a patchy" server. Go get woke somewhere else; there was no malice, or even linkage to Native Americans originally, revisionist historians notwithstanding.

Or... maybe if you sufficiently muck up an IQ test you get results that don't correlate with reality.

Yeah this.

As an Australian that moved to the USA as an adult, I don't get why school starts so damn early in this country.

In Australia it started at 9am. Both primary (elementary) and high schools. 9am-3pm for primary, and 9am-3:30pm for high school, though there were usually some after school activities (e.g. music, sport) that went through until 5pm.

I found getting to school at 9 tough as a teenager. I don't know how they do it here where school starts at 8am or 7:30 or whatever ridiculous time it does.

I went to the local Fry's last Thursday and it was like picking over a corpse. Note, some of the items there have been sitting on shelves for years, some of those vendors don't even exist or don't really want that 10 year old, single pole double throw switch returned.

Australia and NZ are by far the most âoeorganisedâ Western countries. Most highly governed, most compliant ârule followingâ(TM) population etc. Its why immigrants from elsewhere in the Western world often express surprise at how much of a ânanny stateâ(TM). But that nanny state has its advantages as the pandemic has proved.

The public service in Australia is excellent and the interoperability and cooperation between states far surpasses anything the US or even Canada could muster. Governmentâ(TM)s communication with the people in Australia is always top notch and the same can be said during this pandemic.

On top of that, a strict and early international border closing, and world-leading contact tracing, produced the results it did in Australia and NZ. Every case in Australia is tracked to its original source. Every case in Australia is subject to full genomic testing (which they only do for a subset of cases in other countries), which also provides clues about how the virus is moving.

In North America and Europe borders remained far more open, and contact tracing quickly became impossible to perform for every case - the numbers became too great and the intermixing of the population complicates things too much.

As someone thatâ(TM)s lived for extended periods (years) in the US, Canada, UK and Australia, I can confidently say Australia and NZ succeeded because their government presented a consistent message, imposed tough and early restrictions, and generally had a population all fighting as one to eliminate the virus, who were 99% willing to comply with even the harshest restrictions.

Well since you mentioned N95s, that's one thing he could have done. Used his power and the supposed industrial might of the US to churn out N95s so that, you know, people could actually GET them. It's still virtually impossible for the general public to buy N95s in the US, even six months into the pandemic. Meanwhile in other countries they are still easily purchasable in any hardware store, and in some cases the government has just given them out to the public for free.

It's all the Democrats fault: https://ancillary-proxy.atarimworker.io?url=https%3A%2F%2Fbirdsarentreal.com%2F

"Graham Ivan Clark, a 17-year-old teen"

What, as opposed to a 17-year-old in his thirties?

Theoretically, CBP only has authority to operate within 100 miles of the US border.

The problem is that "the border", according to these asshats, also includes any international airport.

SO, if you live within 100 miles of an international airport, you are within their grasp, even if you are in the middle of the country, hundreds of miles from our border with Canada or Mexico.

There's an open version of chromeOS, which is pretty damn lightweight... How about giving that a try and reporting back?
