We're still far away from last of us territory because cordyceps targets ants, and we're a bit different. It's a huge issue for hospitals though. If a hospital was to become infected with a deadly fungus, best course of action is probably to burn it down. Seriously though, the fumigation needed would completely close the hospital for a while.

Right now. There's been reports of fungi that are becoming more tolerant of warmer temperatures due to climate change. There's a radiolab about it that's a few years old

#1. Israel is the aggressor. The state has been imposed on the people of the middle east through violence. #2. Through US support, Israel is the most powerful country in this conflict. They therefore have the moral responsibility to act in a way to promote peace #3. Hamas and Hezbollah are not terrorist organizations. They're legitimately part of their respective government's #4. Any act you've been told is a terrorist act by those two organizations was very likely legal under international law. Israel is an occupying force. People are legally allowed to fight that force through violence.

I believe he's the type of guy that's compartmentalized. He full heartedly believes that the rich need to be taxed more and that he'll work tirelessly to prevent it because it's bad for business

Progressive policies are popular. There's a phenomenon where centrists pretend to be progressive in order to be elected and then do a heel turn.

'Et tu Bernie?' References this. And here I am having to explain very recent history to some lib in defense of some leftist/progressive I've never met because libs can't take any fucking criticism during any fucking time. Maybe stop for a moment and engage some critical thinking. We weren't happy to see biden drop out JUST because he's old. Everyone was hoping for policy change, but that dreams gone, and Trump's up in polls as a result...

We called it marijuana before it was legal. Marijuana is a term that's obviously linked to Latin communities. So while it's illegal, we're OK with calling it something that's linked to a community, BUT once it's legal, suddenly we're trying to erase that connection. Like it's too good for that community anymore. It would be less racist to continue calling it marijuana WHILE recognizing the historical racism and celebrating the culture that ensured the plant was still here when it was legalized. Ignoring that contribution is like appropriation. Erasing the Latin influences in marijuana culture once the plant is legal isn't anti racist.

I feel like it's more racist to start calling it cannabis once it's legal.

I made a prediction 2 years ago that elon would be the first billionaire turned homeless person. It was more a dream, but I've never made a prediction I want to happen as much as that one

Oddly enough that secondary exodus is probably why this place is so much more positive

Remember code is minimum. Mold and mildew resistant drywall can go on a bathroom ceiling. It just doesn't very often because code is for the shower wall

I worked as an it business analyst for a larger multinational for a hot minute. Lenovo laptops were beastly and rarely broke. When 10 000 employees are all using t series laptops for years, with few breaking down, it made me appreciate your comment quite a bit.

I'm not trying to plug lenovo. There's very little difference between lenovo and dell at the enterprise level. Those are the ones I have experience with and so I'll comment on those. Just buy actual business laptops. Especially if you're not gaming

If you take a look at their battery industry, you'll see they're taking it very seriously
