I always wondered why people thought quicker lockdowns in Chyna would have stopped covid-19 from spreading since no one knew who was infected and a single person who escaped the country during the arbitrary quarantine would have made the whole thing pointless. I'm also confused why they think a virus with such a low death rate is important. The only thing I can think of is a shocking percent of people don't actually use their own brains for thinking. It's kind of scary man.

I never questioned the ability of a lab to detect the flu. I chose the null hypothesis that the flu did not disappear. You are the one claiming the flu disappeared lol.

I'm just going to go ahead here and state the obvious. The flu did not magically disappear and people with the flu are without any question being counted as counted as covid-19 cases.

> In the meantime, public health measures like masking and distancing will work against both viruses.

Yeah but there are numerous studies that show these things don't work. Also, I'm confused why you think someone cannot get both covid-19 and the flu.

Best analogy is coding is like writing.

Lots of people think they are good authors. They will write novel upon novel. L Ron Hubbard wrote more than anyone and it was all garbage.

You have new coders (less than the few years it takes to go down enough dead ends and see what works and what doesn't work) who think their code is good but it's just the worst. They are like novelists writing crap stories with a sex scene between a navy seal and a sexy scientist with big boobies.

The only good code is code with no ego but not so little ego that's it's dogmatic about not having an ego.

These last few years I've seen the barrier to entry be lowered for programmers resulting in even more terrible code written by people who think knowing Angular is the zenith of good code.

It's all bad. You can't tell them it's bad.

It's actually worse than millions of bad novelists because you have to use third party code which is also bad so even good programmers have to use bad code. There's just no winning. So while you bang your head against the wall for three days getting dependencies to work with your brilliant creation and it stretches your probably strong brain to its limits just remember your boss, who gets paid more than you and gets to think big picture, didn't have to learn ALLLL the stuff you did and doesn't care about how much you know as long as the end result is good enough.

Only idiots write software these days.

Yeah it works great until you install 30 frameworks and they all tell you so much useless crap that you can't see your own messages. Why do they log these useless messages? Because, they're bad programmers who are 1000 AU from being able to realize it.

I have a hypothesis about UFOs that everyone needs to ponder.

You know how they are frequently just simple shapes? Okay well imagine you are making a game and you need an object to act as your player and you don't care what it looks like. The easiest way is to just drop in a primitive shape. So you just drop in a cylinder or whatever because it doesn't matter.

I think that might be the kind of thing that's going on with UFO shapes, assuming they are extraterrestrial in origin.
