reptilian_thrillsfun fact, you have to be able to prescribe medicine to talk about biology. a phd in biology simply wont doNov 08 11:35
mjg59_The BU research was about attempting to identify what aspects of COVID strains in the field related to how serious it wasNov 08 11:35
schestowitz[TR]I ran large clusters of fedora in the labs overnightNov 08 11:35
schestowitz[TR]so it was a lot of programmingNov 08 11:35
reptilian_thrillsmedical doctors are the only ones that understand living organismsNov 08 11:35
schestowitz[TR]and then orchestrating experimentsNov 08 11:35
mjg59_They took a strain of rat that, when exposed to the original Wuhan varient of COVID, died in 100% of casesNov 08 11:35
mjg59_The same rat, when exposed to Omicron, died in far fewer casesNov 08 11:36

mjg59_They manipulated synthetic strains of Omicron to attempt to identify which aspects influenced mortalityNov 08 11:36
schestowitz[TR]and made hybridsNov 08 11:36
schestowitz[TR]which were found to be more deadlyNov 08 11:37
schestowitz[TR]so they gave pointersNov 08 11:37
mjg59_And they found that turning specific bits of Omicron back into the Wuhan varient resulted in the mortaility getting close to the original strainNov 08 11:37

MinceRwhat if we wanted it to be more deadly _and_ spread at least as well as omicron, though?Nov 08 11:38
mjg59_We don't need to make enhanced coronavirus because they made something that was no more effective than one that already existed!Nov 08 11:38

reptilian_thrills We don't need to make enhanced coronavirus because they made something that was no more effective than one that already existed <- or maybe the 5g rays are making you say thatNov 08 11:39
mjg59_MinceR: Omicron spreads because of immune evasion of original COVID, not because it's inherently more infectiousNov 08 11:39
MinceRso what if we wanted it to be more deadly _and_ evade immunity to original SARS-CoV-2?Nov 08 11:39

DaemonFCI wonder what exactly happened at the Battle of Endor. Did the rest of the fleet stay and fight? There were a lot of Star Destroyers there. It was a big fleet even after the loss of Executor and the Second Death Star.Nov 08 18:46
DaemonFCMinceR, The problem with Disney's Star Wars, among the others, is that the New Republic didn't see the Imperial Remnant/First Order as a threat?Nov 08 18:49
DaemonFCWhy?Nov 08 18:49
DaemonFCThe backstory is that they lost a lot of worlds that voted to leave and join the First Order and the First Order still had the bulk of the Imperial Fleet.Nov 08 18:49
DaemonFCIt was a major power.Nov 08 18:49
DaemonFCThe Republic apparently signed some sort of peace deal that theoretically ended the conflict where it was and began a huge Cold War. Nov 08 18:50
DaemonFCBut this makes no sense. The First Order was still a fascist organization with the stated goal of eventually declaring total war on the Republic and annexing its worlds.Nov 08 18:51
DaemonFCThe logical course of action would have been to continue fighting them, not to sign some "peace deal" that allowed the Remnant to fall back and build up their forces.Nov 08 18:51
DaemonFCPalpatine didn't really care much what happened to the First Order either way.Nov 08 18:52
DaemonFCYou notice that they were a relatively small Navy compared to his Final Order fleet that he constructed at Exegol, and none of the First Order ships had planet killer weapons. The Star Destroyers at Exegol all had a planet killer weapon, which was probably also a "one shot kill" weapon for engaging in ship-to-ship combat. The whole First Order thing was just a ruse.Nov 08 18:54
DaemonFCWith or without them or Starkiller Base, Palpatine would have brought the fleet from Exegol to war with the Republic eventually.Nov 08 18:54
DaemonFCUpon finding out about Palpatine, it would have been more logical for Kylo Ren to bring the First Order fleet to Exegol while the Advanced Star Destroyer fleet was still unable to take off, and start a bombardment. One thing about Palpy.....You're not just going to kill him and take his fleet.Nov 08 18:56
DaemonFCSo the option remaining would be to wipe it out and start a surface bombardment while he's still too weak to do anything.Nov 08 18:56
DaemonFCThat would have left this movie series open to more sequels.Nov 08 18:58
DaemonFCDisney seems to like money, which is why they put out all of these movies that are increasingly pointless/bad/poorly directed.Nov 08 18:58

DaemonFCThe Sith "Rule of Two" is that the apprentice craves power and the best way to go about that would be to kill Palpatine and his loyalists.Nov 08 19:01
DaemonFCThe First Order already had a big enough fleet and the Republic was gone.Nov 08 19:01
DaemonFCIn time they could have just subjugated everyone else due to the power vacuum and having the largest remaining Navy in the galaxy.Nov 08 19:02
DaemonFCMinceR, DJ: "They blow you up today, you blow them up tomorrow. It's just business."Nov 08 19:03
DaemonFCI read that as Disney sort of insulting the audience for paying to see all of these movies.Nov 08 19:03
DaemonFCNothing gets resolved. There's always "enough" of the Rebel Alliance or the Empire or whatever left to do another movie.Nov 08 19:04
DaemonFCThis ends up being how the US and Russia "fight" each other. Both sides could destroy each other, so they don't go to war. They can't go to war. They just wait until the other one gets ambitious and goes to war somewhere else, and then props up the other side of the war.Nov 08 19:07
