    Yeah, but you can go to the Wegman’s flagship store in Pittsford which is just about as good.

    Because everyone needs a portable rocket factory, right?

    "WHO, Investigate the virus lab!"

    The Chinese embassy called for a World Health Organization investigation into a United States military lab more than 7,500 miles away from the first documented cases of COVID-19 in Wuhan, China.

    Chinese embassy spokesman Liu Pengyu responded to a Washington Free Beacon report on a Chinese propaganda campaign that claims the coronavirus leaked from a military lab in Fort Detrick, Md., saying the campaign not only reflects "serious concerns" but also warrants a full WHO investigation into the U.S. military installation.

    "About Fort Detrick, the US has remained silent on the serious concerns raised by the international community, including US media," Liu told the Free Beacon. "The US side must understand that the international community has every reason to raise questions about Fort Detrick, which has a poor track record and is notorious for breaches in lab and contaminant leak, and demand clarification and explanation from the US side and call on the WHO to conduct a thorough investigation into it. This requirement is not only for tracing the origin of COVID-19, but also for the safety of people in all countries."

    Liu's statement runs counter to mounting evidence that the coronavirus emerged from an accident at the Wuhan Institute of Virology. According to an August congressional report, Chinese scientists had the capability to genetically manipulate coronaviruses "without leaving any trace of that modification" as early as 2016, and Beijing dispatched military officers to Wuhan in early 2020, suggesting a growing crisis in the city at the time. More than 600,000 Americans have died due to the coronavirus, and another 37 million have caught the disease.

    0.4c?

    Really?

    The idea of changing spacetime ahead of where you want to go is an old one, isn't it?

    The concept of objects "affecting" other objects far away is something called the "spooky" effect. AFAIK, no one has really explained that.

    I'm thinking backlash.

    75 years from now, when the so-called "news" venues are so clogged with garbage that real actual news is nearly invisible in the mass of dumbness and what there is of it is crap, somebody will happen upon a website that features the story of the history of the Chicago Tribune, and they're like, "Hey! Look at this! Look how clean they were in those days!" Somebody else says, "Wow, that is so cool! And look, they didn't even print comments!" Word spreads, and a descendent of Bill Gates says, "Look, I've got money. Let's put an edition of this bad boy on the street and see what happens!"

    The crowd goes mad! The paper sells out in an hour! Second, third and fourth editions are published, and it's still not enough! Heard on the street: "No comments! No fucking comments! Why did it take us so long to do this???"

    Here's where my dream gets really silly. Social message boards become . . . like . . . completely empty . . . echoing silence.

    Okay, I'm off the rails.

    Sigh.

    Not that we need proof, but this is more clear evidence the administration did not plan for any of this to happen.

    Be like me. Drink what people gift you

    For some odd reason, male surgeons get tons of whiskey gifts. The ladies tend to get perfume. Probably tastes awful.

    Go figure.

    I would gladly pay for the Cincinnati Enquirer if it were even a shadow of what it once was. Now its just another leftist Gannett rag.

    I hate Gannett.

    35% of your nursing students cannot pass Crippled Chemistry? 45% of students cannot pass the easy half of physics?

    Those are problems that run very deep.
