… But that was a Bush thing.

“You’ve got to read this,” Fran Townsend remembers the president telling her. “He said, ‘Look, this happens every 100 years. We need a national strategy.’”

Thus was born the nation’s most comprehensive pandemic plan – a playbook that included diagrams for a global early warning system, funding to develop new, rapid vaccine technology, and a robust national stockpile of critical supplies, such as face masks and ventilators, Townsend said.

Like, Regeneron and Moderna were direct US DARPA funding that came out because Bush was certain a new flu pandemic was enroute any day now.

Gonna be honest: Yes. You know one side is going to keep committing child murder on purpose until made to stop. They went out to murder children, looked children who were cowering in the eyes, and murdered them in cold blood. Then they went back, put their own children near their weapon stores, hid among their children, and begged third parties to keep them from getting punished for murdering children. Considering the last major hostage trade gave the children murders their chief child murderer back, I would not want to arrange another trade of child murderers for civilians who did nothing wrong other than be close to them.

Israel hasn’t been fighting these child soldiers. They were part of the Yemeni civil war.

Steve Jobs loudly announced FaceTime would be made open source. Then they lost a patent lawsuit against https://www.bbc.com/news/technology-20236114

Apple paid up and could keep using the patent, but could not just let anyone else use the tech they developed as it now needed a non-open license.

Apple wanted to open source FaceTime and destroy Skype. They got sued and were not allowed to open source their protocols. It’s real dumb that Apple didn’t get to drive the standards there.

That’s exactly what that case was. It grated Equal Protection Rights to corporations as well as Natural Persons. That’s then what is referred back to as the case law when “Is a corporation a person?” comes up.

It’s a city. Calling it a refugee camp is due to the special UN status all Palestinians have as refugees no matter where they are.

Nah, that was the one that Egypt fucked up. There had not been an actual agreed upon hostage transfer since the first one. Hamas also won’t give actual information on the hostages. This whole thing is just war crimes the whole way down.

Cloudflare is publicly traded. They had $1.6 billion in cash or equivalents in December. Maybe they want to grease up the quarter to show better growth against the market, but that is a fuckload of cash.

Iran’s president is dead and the King of Saudi Arabia is likely on his way out, but on the other hand, neither of these two wielded actual power.

Agar agar is a bit of a laxative, so I may suggest you find another thickening agent. I think the store you are looking for is a baking supply store for most weird flavorings and powders. Restaurant supply may also have aisles as well, though the good ones are harder to come by. If only the modernist pantry had a storefront.

Liquid eggs are pretty easy too: Just pasteurize the darn things with a sous vide machine. Hold them at 130 for a few hours.

The internet has that at least?

For egg whites, it’s not too bad to make them yourself with a dehydrator.

It’s “buttermilk” just add water, so I suspect there’s some dairy flavoring of some kind in there.

EDIT: Yea, it’s flour, sugar, a leavener, starch, salt, a bit of soybean oil, some dehydrated egg whites, and dehydrated buttermilk

Known liar claims someone else was going to help him do something bad after getting in trouble for it.

The Palestinians had self rule before 1917?

We have no idea what Iran was actually aiming at. So far they only managed to kill some people in Jordan and a Bedouin child in Israel.

Israel blew up a compound where the IRGC was training Hezbollah. Go look up who died in the attack, no one’s refuting that bit of data. Hezbollah’s been in open conflict with Israel for months now.

Israel didn’t do shit to make us kill Soleimani. Soleimani was literally meeting with someone who we blamed for an attack on the US embassy in Iraq. He was the other person killed in the strike. Iran knew they fucked up there, which is why their response was throwing a fairly ineffective barrage at a military base and then shooting down their own civilian airliner.

This entire post is asinine. The root cause of Heartbleed was the RFC was fucked. A German graduate student wrote and implemented an RFC, and was then reviewed by the only full time (and paid) member of the OpenSSL team. Claiming it was because it wasn’t funded is stupid on its face as Dr. Henson was paid for his review.

XZ’s problem was that the maintainer had a mental breakdown and lacking structure to vet the replacement, he handed control off to what seems like a very sophisticated attack group. Money would not have fixed one of the fundamental problems with anarchistic-style code production, which is how do you trust the people who vet the code?
