More bags, higher delivery fee makes sense. But it doesn’t matter if it’s 2lb of ramen or 2lb of lobster.

It seems that the driver doesn’t need to know the value of the box they are delivering. They should expect the same tip from a $3 box and a $300.

A natural zoonotic path does not (yet) exist. It is correct to say none has been found.
the Huanan Market in Wuhan was the early and main epicentre of SARS‐CoV‐2 infection.
There you are.
there is no indication that the Wuhan Institute of Virology had studied viruses similar to SARS‐CoV‐2 or artificially modified coronaviruses before the COVID‐19 pandemic
This part of the paper is out of date. We now know there was a subaward to the Wuhan Institute of Virology in Wuhan, to understand how bat coronaviruses have the potential to become transmissible to the human population.

How do you get from “we don’t think the disease naturally originated in Wuhan” to “China engineered a virus, released it in their own city, and then used that as a vector for malicious infection of the rest of the world”?
I didn’t. You invented all of that.

We know the EcoHealth Alliance had a gain of function research proposal that would have produced a virus remarkably similar to covid was rejected for funding by DARPA.
-
We know Covid originated in Wuhan.
Accidents happen even in level 4 biolabs. The is no need for you to be sinophobic.

- Comment on "What is the cost of lies?" 2 weeks ago:
There was an attempt at debunking the lab leak theory early on with a nature article saying we do not believe any type of laboratory-based scenario is plausible. Then there was a rejected DARPA research proposal detailing exactly how the laboratory-based scenario is possible.
Lab origin has not been proven but there is no natural zoonotic path to Wuhan. Lab encouraged gain of function with in species reproduction seems most likely.

Yes. Bezos didn’t slap the book out of my hand into the water, and threaten to remove my entire bookshelf.

I have dropped a book into the bath. Strictly speaking it wasn’t unavailable, but it was unreadable.
- Comment on Just to get this straight. If I stand outside a voting center and give each person 500 bucks to vote for me. That is illegal? But if I am a Dipshit In Chief and offer 5k that is 100 percent legal? 1 month ago:
Two centuries ago, a somewhat obscure Scotsman named Tytler made this profound observation: ‘A democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government. It can only exist until the majority discovers it can vote itself largess out of the public treasury. After that, the majority always votes for the candidate promising the most benefits with the result the democracy collapses because of the loose fiscal policy ensuing, always to be followed by a dictatorship, then a monarchy.’
- Comment on I'm right and the other vegans are wrong 1 month ago:
True. The goal of less animal farming may just achieve cheaper meat prices. Probably some tarrif/subsidy policy is needed to actual reduce production.
- Comment on I'm right and the other vegans are wrong 1 month ago:
Even a switch from beef burger to chicken burger would have a substantial CO2 impact.
- Comment on I'm right and the other vegans are wrong 1 month ago:
I agree an authoritarian ban would not be well received, and likely circumvented.
The 50% cut in consumption could be achieved voluntarily through subsidy, tariffs, education and health arguments.
- Comment on I'm right and the other vegans are wrong 1 month ago:
Top down approaches are almost never the answer.
- Comment on I'm right and the other vegans are wrong 1 month ago:
Getting all meat eaters to cut intake by 50% is easier than getting 50% of meat eaters to turn vegan.

If you want crispy, heat with the air fryer.
If want moist and hot, use a microwave.
Don’t cook soup in the air frier or toast in the microwave.

Is an airfryer just a small fan oven?
