  • The racist connotations about the lab I knew about, but I didn’t think it made it less true.

    That being said, I just checked wikipedia:

    Most scientists agree that, as with many other pandemics in human history,[1][2][3] the virus is likely derived from a bat-borne virus transmitted to humans via another animal in nature or during wildlife trade such as that in food markets.[11] Many other explanations, including several conspiracy theories, have been proposed.[12][13][14] Some scientists and politicians have speculated that SARS-CoV-2 was accidentally released from a laboratory. This theory is not supported by evidence.[15]

    SARS-CoV-2 has close genetic similarity to multiple previously identified bat coronaviruses, suggesting it crossed over into humans from bats

    https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Origin_of_COVID-19

    and I think I remember seeing a study that showed the similarity of the sequence to other known sequences and it wasn’t that dramatic a change.

    If it’s more convenient, then what you’re doing isn’t wrong. Everyone has different input systems.

    Mine is to email myself notes, and to use subject header as tags for later sorting. At some point I will setup an email scraper to automatically flag and parse these into actual todo lists.

    But for now an email to myself just keeps me focused, and it just works!






  • There’s a great series on Netflix right now called “Heartbeat” or “Poisened Heart” or something (depends on language), and it’s a grizzly drama about murder, Organ harvesting, and a web of underworld seediness, revenge, wrath, high stakes drama etc…

    It’s opening theme song is some weak ass “everybody needs good Neighhhbours” type thing that makes no sense whatsoever tonally to the show.

    But, but… the contrast of the theme song to the show content is so large that it actually makes the show’s drama look good.
