It was Thunder Chief for me. I figured he must be bad juju.

This is how it turns out when I meme, sorry

Honest question–why are so many people quick to dismiss the possibility that the coronavirus leaked from the Wuhan lab?

AFAIK the consensus is that COVID-19 originated in Wuhan. The same Wuhan that has a lab which had been studying coronaviruses for years prior to the outbreak.

Some folks vehemently dismiss the idea that the lab could be the origin point, but why? What makes them so sure that this would have been impossible?

I remember a similar one from the 90s. If someone stumbled someone else inevitably would say “walk much?”. Or with a traffic mistake “drive much?”.

It evolved into just anything that came into someone’s head, like if someone had a premonition “Nostradamus much?”

I’m glad it died.

I do. And my kettle boils water faster than the electric stove.

So when I boil larger quantities of water I prefer to boil ~2/3 in the kettle and 1/3 on the stove with a lid on for max speed; my time rarely feels more wasted than when I’m waiting for water to boil.

I also use the kettle for hot drinks, of course. I’ve kept one since I lived in the UK.

On my second try I enjoyed it…until the final season.

The show probably got different writers at that point. Whatever happened, everything previously built was just scrapped. It’s like they made a list of random outlandish ideas, then shuffled and tried to connect them.

If they had brought it all home it would have been a good, offbeat kind of show.

The constitution gives Congress the exclusive power to formally declare war.

That said, Congress hasn’t declared war since 1942, yet we’ve obviously taken part in many wars since then.

Sadly there just hasn’t been enough Congressional support to retaliate against a president for jumping to military action without authorization. And it doesn’t help that the average American doesn’t know that the president is not allowed to just deploy troops at will (in most cases, Iran included).

Julianne Moore. I just don’t buy her acting to the point that it breaks the immersion with everything she’s in. So I don’t watch anything she does.

Parentheses around the tan(k) barrel because that’s the kapow noodle.

I’m not saying the team behind the AI definitely posted the reply on behalf of the AI…but you wouldn’t know if they did, now, would you?

Not exactly on topic but among so many other concerns, AI is a way to hide and dodge blame. I absolutely believe humans take the wheel when they feel like it and blame the AI when things go badly.

I would go to sleep an hour ago.

SORCERER, MUST WE CONTINUE TO SMITE OUR BRETHREN WITH THESE PLAGUES?
