Additionally, Chinese coal power is what provides and enables all of the cheap goods Americans can’t get enough of.

Shit is worrying. I’m extremely ignorant to the science of infectious diseases, but at least from my layman’s point of view, it is extremely concerning how this virus went from exploding across the entire globe in wild animal populations, to now infecting cattle, to then infecting goats in such a short time span… It seems like it is progressively getting worse, and any one of these millions of new infections per day could be the one that mutates just right to be able to hop between humans.

I’m dubious of all the articles stressing the “risk is extremely low, so stay calm” sentiment. That sentiment seems less about giving good advice to make people feel comfortable, and more like a means to minimize panic - which there surely will be if this bug starts hopping between people, and that 50% lethality rate holds steady.

A bird flu pandemic would be less about social distancing, and more about huddling with a shotgun in your basement.

When I reached your situation, I started rackmounting which has saved me a lot of time.

I got a 1u dell poweredge r210 and slapped in a 10Gb network card. Loaded up OPNsense onto it. OPN sense was not easy to learn how to use, for me at least. Struggled to get everything running smoothly. But I am very happy I went with rack mounting instead of adding to the rat’s nest.

Thats a good one OP. Are you now the guy bestowing golden deagles to folks in MW2 lobbies? I always thought those people were the coolest. What are you doing with it?

Yes, definitely all Kim’s fault. Never mind the 20% of its population that got slaughtered in the Korean War.

I feel like war can be explained better than just the result of bad people doing bad things, and more so about contradictions. If, after all is said and done in this genocide, we are only able to deduce that the cause was bad people doing bad things, we aren’t doing our due diligence. We’d be better off trying to understand how the contradictions between Israel and Palestine such as religion, material conditions, age, ethnicity, geopolitical stances… made genocide the only solution for Israel. And more importantly, how to avoid it. Theres too much history here for me to wave my hand and blame some enigmatic force of “evil”.
