I am not sure it needs to be if the foundation is Mrna vaccines. At least that's the idea anyway.

I was just pointing out how much the government spent and, it was quite a lot.

The US spent 31.6 billion to develop, produce and purchase covid 19 mrna vaccines.

So the US is already spending a ton of money....

I think I would go with a 19 author study published in science over a bank report in May. MAY! How much data did they have? At least by December we could get some data to work with

But is doesn't matter what science says for you does it?

They really brought attention to themselves. But if I understand it the current discussion is about if all books need to be removed, or can they have controlled lending.

Yeah, I realize that. They waaaaay overstepped their rights on that one. But they are back to the original method.

I can see where you are going with this. But there is NOT a copy in my browser. Only a representation of a fraction of the whole book at any given time. I cannot make a copy.

When I am viewing the section of the book, the rest of the book is "checked out". No one else can look at it. Is this not how a library works? I check out an item, then I take it back? Are they not making the steps to make sure I can check it out, read it, and then I have to give it back?

Since libraries are allowed to loan from their collection, what makes digital any different? In the case of video, if the library wanted to check out a video and stream it to me, I see no difference than me checking it out myself. In fact libraries are granted the right to show videos to me and small groups, so why can't I be farther away than in their building?

The current move of libraries to streaming services is exactly because of this. Now the library has a license, and cannot share the stream without the license. This is a move to remove physical items so that the possibility of streaming from a physical item is moot.

I understand your point. But the archive isn't giving you a copy. It will display 2 pages on your screen, using encryption, for up to 2 hours. You can turn pages and see a different 2 pages displayed, but that's it.

Is this a significant distinction from a copy, I don't know. But it does seem different as I cannot take that copy, I can only observe content and even then in a limited way.

Strawberry or Clementine. I mean 100K entries in a database is nothing. Even for SQLite. You can add multiple library locations, this is no problem.

You probably want Strawberry as it is newer and maintained, but I still like Clementine for the extra features that Strawberry doesn't have yet. For you probably, not a big deal - things like podcast support, cloud support etc.

You misspelled Ubuntu.

You said everyone. Then cited his lawyers. Shouldn't they be in the same category as the cops?

Citation needed: everyone that knew him.

Third day of deposition.

After fighting Boeing since 2017. Losing the first court case by the way.

An entire movie about this came out in 2022.

It sounds like a desperate person who had enough.

Why kill him now? Wad something going to come out that already hadn't? Or wad this person tired of fighting and feeling helpless.

You could argue that maybe Boeing killed him in the long run.

But with 50,000 people taking their lived a year in the US I tend to think a lot of people are just broken. And i can't blame them.

Also, you are suggesting the police were in on it since they ruled out foul play too?

Although I don't trust them either. So fair enough on that one.

No they are not that suspicious at all. The first death served no purpose unless you really believe it was a "fuck you" death.

The second wasnt much better, but come on, they really got a hospital involved? Do you know how stupid that sounds?

I DO think CEO's, members of the board, and rich shareholders have legislative and other protections. At the very least the ability to send lawyers to court for the rest of their lives if they had to. I believe they can get away with quite a lot, and probably make money doing it even if caught. So none of that, NONE of that means resorting to murder. There just isn't really a need to.

If this were a case of targeted blackmail, perhaps somekind of love affair gone wrong or some kind or really nasty shit, then I could see it.

You can ruin peoples lives, create shoddy products, pollute the land, boss people around, and you won't get in any trouble if you are rich. No need to murder anyone.

The ridiculous part is the complexity and number of people who would need to keep a secret.

That is exactly right. That is where it all falls apart.

Someone very connected to Boeing murdered them.

Yeah, that second guy, they went all biological right? I mean they gave him the flu to get him to the hospital. Once there, and in his weakened state, they sprang MRSA on him! That way, when they caused the parting shot with a stroke, no one would suspect!

Conspiracy is a lot of fun! Lets add aliens. I mean the whole reason why this is all so hush hush is the government is in a contract with the Aliens from Alpha Centauri and these people stumbled onto it. It is so obvious!

In these comments:

CEO admits to whistleblowers being disciplined at work (which everyone knew, he just is saying it)... suddenly becomes He admitted murder!

Sad. If you make up a reality because you feel that way, you are no better then they are.

Honestly I thought memes had kinda run their course, i didn't know there were new ones even, lol.

Hey if it's fun, that's great. Kinda was looking for an idea for an app. This might be an interesting one. What features would make a great one?

People save memes? Today I learned...

You are saying steam link for VR correct? Because Steam Link itself works fine.

The only thing I have to dual boot for is VR at this point. And I havent even done that in maybe 2 years. But it really is the final thing for me.

All the other games I care to play work fine. The last two Resident Evil's were flawless. Almost everything is pretty much click and play these days.

I remote to other computers and remote into my own, so I take it you are using Parsec for something specific? I never used it before.

I’ll give it another try if AMD gets it together with their driver support.

As an AMD GPU linux user this is confusing. There is no driver needed. There is nothing to do with AMD. Must be the laptop? A unusual variant, or early adopter?
