D'awww shucks <3
Recently I havent gotten into to much of the new Star Trek because I felt it lacked the most interesting aspect of the serious: deep philosophical considerations when it comes to morality and cultures.
I just started watch Star Trek Strange New Worlds and I have to say I am impressed. While clearly a modern take it feels like it captured the spirit of the original the other remakes lacked.... really liking this.
@admitsWrongIfProven There are tons of better ways to solve it than a captcha... those sadly require time investment to code up. But even when i added the captcha a probationary period seemed the better move for sure.
@admitsWrongIfProven just a few a day. The issue isnt so much the quantity but rather the lag time. I sometimes dont see it and clean it up for 24 hours by which point it has already spammed the entire fediverse and removing it doesnt really do much
Fair, yes prevention is important to. Vaccines, access to them, and even some general things like better ventilation are all good steps to take. Even just better hygene practices like not working if you feel sick and washing yoru hands more are all good things for a society to do even if COVID werent a concern.
@admitsWrongIfProven Nothing I can find sadly
@Gbudd hahaha that would work :)
@falcennial Yea everyone knows music doesnt really exist
@icedquinn I'll take any kind of civilization at this poiint...
What, where are you coming up with this nonsense. Please show me where I said no mitigation was ok? Your just saying random nonsense things that have nothign to do with anything I even said, what is even going on here
@andymoose No one said that,.. You can "win"... winning doesnt mean eradication. Winning means having good treatments and plans to handle the disease well, just as we have for H1N1.
Don't try or expect what is literally not possible though, so in that sense, yea, dont "try" (as in waste your time) on a goal that isnt physically possible.
@caujka No I am talking mostly from the perspective of a place like the USA.
COVID research scientist here.
We cant and we didnt.
The flu strain from a couple years ago H1N1 is still alive and kicking just like SARS-COV- is
Neither was ever an option to eliminate entirely with current technology, we knew this very early on in our studies,
@gpowerf I need to buy new gallivanting atire before I can even begin!
