Which is exactly why I go to great pains to point out that I have great sympathy for those that did everything right, and still got screwed over.

But remember that nobody just catches COVID (or the flu, or similar diseases) in a vacuum. They got it from someone else, who got it from someone else, who got it from someone else. There’s a strong probability that someone in your infection ancestry (for lack of a better term) is one of those selfish people that refused to take basic precautions, and if they had taken precautions, you would never have gotten long COVID. We’ll never know who it is, but at least one person out there is probably directly to blame for your long COVID. That person deserves to be mercilessly ridiculed until long after they die.

I have enormous sympathy for those long COVID sufferers that avoided large gatherings in the beginning, wore masks when they had to go out, got vaccines and boosters when they became available, and despite doing everything experts were advising, still managed to draw the short straw. My heart goes out to them.

The ones that acted like all of the basic precautionary measures were at best inconvenient, or worse, an infringement on their god given right to spread disease… not so much.

Roughly $30k pre COVID.

2 holes, 400’ each.

We have a WaterFurnace geothermal system. Love it. Was expensive to have installed (drilling rig in our yard for a couple days drilling deep holes for the piping was the biggest expense), but after several years of use now, totally worth it.

I won’t be happy until they ban shocked Pikachu “show us your O face” thumbnails.

Unless YouTube is using that data to not recommend crappy videos, then it’s completely pointless. If YouTube was going to use that data, then they would, oh, I don’t know, maybe still have a dislike button?

More proof that hydroxychloroquine is a miracle drug and the lizard people just don’t want us to know about it.

The Copycat Theory certainly accounts for a portion of the sightings. Anybody that doesn’t think there are a lot of people with drones that would go flying them during this just to mess with their neighbors is a fool.

Mass hysteria also certainly accounts for more of the sightings. You only need 1 out of every 600 people to see an airplane/satellite/bright star and think they’re seeing a mysterious object to have over half a million Americans saying they’ve seen one. I’ve personally known several people in my life that would easily fall into this camp. Need I remind anyone about rainbow sprinkler lady?

As for what got this all started or any current sightings (if there are any, anymore) that don’t fall into the above categories? 🤷

they will begin typing every single document to have ever existed, along with every document that will exist

Excellent. Now I just need to figure out which one of them is doing my taxes.

a million monkeys typing for a million years generating the works of Shakespeare

FFS, it’s one monkey and infinite years. This is the second time I’ve seen someone make this mistake in an AI article in the past month or so.

Grammatical whiplash.

Tranfering between devices on the LAN.

Edit: Wait, no, it’s the other way around. 2.5 on WAN, and just a single 1GB LAN port. That absolutely doesn’t make sense.
