Hypersonics don't need a warhead, but since you are expending the time, energy and effort .... might as well keep the factory installed warhead on it.
Meteors don't need a warhead, the kinetic energy expended is immense.
Allegedly, these viruses are "plague" level events; and they are kept and researched to find a cure, so if they were released by an enemy; we would have a cure we would respond with.
However, if the enemy is weaponizing a virus; don't we need to weaponize a different virus in response? Yes, this is madness. Bioweapons are not defensive in nature, they are offensive (and banned by the Bioweapons Convention).
Gain of function has already been abused - which imho should involve the death penalty as a Crime against Humanity.
One reason this is researched, is some virus's (no matter where inserted) will seek a specific organ. Tuberculosis for example, will seek the lungs. The fantasy is to take the tuberculosis virus, remove that which causes harm, and replace it with a specific payload (such as a gene to cure asthma), so one huff off a mask and a week later you no longer have asthma, etc. But is the risk worth the reward?
And despite deadly viri being lost, due to an incompetent security, lax access limitations to these deadly bugs - not a single person is suspected, they have no clue when, or how these deadly viruses managed to make it from cryo storage outside the plant.
And how much do you want to bet that everything there is business as normal.
When my wife and I have the scratchy throat and watery eyes; a dose of ivermectin (and Fenbendazole) and we are back to normal by the next morning.
Been getting colds for 59 years; but that all stopped with ivermectin and Fenbendazole. Last 4-5 years it’s rare to get anything. And when we do, it’s very minor. Then the Zenesky treatment as described
Ivermectin and Fenbendazole every month. That’s our first line of defense (and cheapest)
There is equality, and this is superiority.
The school administrators are clearly stating that no one is allowed to question boys who want to take showers with girls. The mere suggestion is more than enough for tyrannical administrators, to abuse the majority to seek the favor of the minority.
These administrators need to find another area in life to excel
Health is a reward, and I appreciate NOT being poisoned.
But, it's not going to ensure that those who harassed, penalized and threatened those of us who objected - from doing so again later on. That's my issue, if I attempt to kill someone - there is a penalty to be paid. If I harass someone at work, there is a penalty.
Without consequences, there is ZERO reason for this behavior to stop. I want the penalty to be so extreme, it's never attempted again. There is no penalty that is off the table. None.
To paraphrase Elon: "If they lie about things, you know about,: imagine the other lies about subjects you not familiar with, that they are lying about. They lie about everything"
The more you learn, the more you realize that Elon is right.
Treason is the crime of attacking a state authority to which one owes allegiance.[1] This typically includes acts such as participating in a war against one's native country, attempting to overthrow its government, spying on its military, its diplomats, or its secret services for a hostile and foreign power, or attempting to kill its head of state.
Hmm, it’s not a federal crime. How about that
I would be happy to see American Civics brought back. Kids have no clue what our rights are, how the govt works, what checks and balances are
Without this; we will just continue to degenerate
We are not a Democracy and many have no clue what a democracy actually is
I've worked remotely for quite a while, and this is why I beg to disagree. When you work with a functional team, you teach the less experienced, your team works as a team - functioning at a higher level than the parts.
My team has been back to work since the COVID rules relaxed, and the shape of our programs is appalling. A lot of people have retired in the last few years, and with no one to train them, they have had to depend on online training, the number of corrections we have had to make, and I mean very basic and costly mistakes far outweighs any perceivable benefit.
One positive thing that has happened, is our ability to work from home, means that when winter weather makes commuting to work dangerous; we can meet virtually. When someone is sick, they can still (voluntarily) do some work at home.
But, as a whole - this has been a net negative. To paraphrase Musk "they can pretend to work elsewhere".
I have no issue with a person earning as much as possible at their job.
I do have an issue with a person who assures people that his company will be there in an emergency, and then used the Deny, Delay and Defend process, to destroy or kill the loved ones, after they have paid their insurance premiums (whether for years, or minutes).
That person should suffer 100x more than the afflicted premium payer.
As a teen ager (although brilliant, from all I have read), Barron is NOT an elected official. I recall that we weren't allowed to discuss Clinton's daughter, Biden's kids - but for some reason those standards of conduct never apply to Republicans.
So we have a person who is saved from Murder charges, thanks to the uni-brow
