Emerging from where, wet markets? Or labs?

@mystik If they have infinite resources, why bother with implants? Just assassinate the people who don't comply.

@mystik seems like a dangerous game for the CIA to play. If that were real it'd be blown wide open the first time a former agent dies in a foreign country and gets an autopsy. Or even an autopsy locally.

The U.S. should have 53 states because it's a prime number and can't be
divided. Then we would truly be one nation, indivisible.

This study is popping up in a lot of press right now. But what it actually says isn't that weight loss is not important. Rather, it says that the typical result of trying to lose weight with dieting is weight cycling, which is more harmful than not losing that weight in the first place. So better to focus on exercise, which has less downsides.

It's also unclear to me if they're able to fully account for the fact that people unable to exercise are probably less healthy.

@Hope_report A 25% increase isn't an existential crisis at least. Hopefully if that is the cause, it's a one-time thing rather than a permanent risk increase.

"during the summer"

Right when people were getting second doses... And the article specifically says doctors do not think covid or delayed care is the cause.

@drgo @lucash_dev Yeah, I've never figured out why that happens. :/

@drgo @lucash_dev Speaking of, breakfast! That salmon is barely warm in the center. 😂
