I don't see the point, since the encryption methods are probably also hacked, and we probably has OS libraries with whisper routines that just invoke built into our devices.
All the backdoors are wide open, and the front doors too. We live in Stasi Germany.
On the whole, since we literally are close to the tipping point that will make it incredibly expensive (as in ten to twenty times) to the GDP to deal with climate change events (storms, massive fluctuations like bizarre cold snaps, acidic oceans destroying shellfish, Antarctic ice sheet sliding off and raising sea level 2 meters worldwide, etc), this is a reasonable argument for short term thinking, given the massive increase in coal use in China and worldwide.
However, to do it safely, you would have to use either the Canadian or French model, where you have 1 or 2 plant types that are rolled out everywhere, not the US-based Each Plant Is Special And Different approach, to minimize accidents.
That said, you still need to actually reduce - not maintain - coal oil and even natural gas (all fossil fuels) use worldwide, especially in the EU, US, China, and India.
One way would be to not subsidize nuclear energy, but to remove all tax subsidies and exemptions for fossil fuels, charge market rate leases for public lands (seriously, 5 cents to mine an entire acre in a national park or at sea?), and use those funds to - at the same time - provide capital (not operating expenses or subsidies, just low cost loan capital) for renewable energies (solar, wind, geothermal, tidal).
Adapt or die.
Because climate change is now, and I hope you don't live close to a coast.
Just like we don't admit we have civilian cargo ship drone packages on certain routes.
Drones are small, and easily deployed.
The problem with Amazon is flying them in US skies means people are going to sue you when you kill their kid or their pet when the drone drops the package or hits a crow and falls into something.
I work in the department of medicine. I used to work in biochem as a research assistant. We do trials worldwide in many things.
Your mileage may depend on where you are and when things become available.
You should consult your MD about vaccine schedules and availability.
Our shots are the ones you get at the med center, since we're part of that. Other areas have lower risk factors, due to lower risk factors. Some of us work in labs, some in the hospital, some in research trials in Africa. Herd immunity means you don't skip people, since that provides a pathway.
Define "approved". You're not in the category that others are in. When BC rolled out shots recently anyone associated with major hospitals was given immunizations. Same here.
Again - there are nasal spray versions of all of these. They may not be the first available or you may be in a low risk group so they are not used in your group. Vectors and pathways are critical in making such decisions. People who travel and are exposed to people who travel, who work on or with people who do medical or biochemical (all part of the same large building structure, we all go to each others seminars) research, or are associated with endemic risk factors are always in the prime group.
Such things may or may not be commercially available to you at the location you are at or in the category you are in. Some may be first wave shots or mists used to get sufficient large scale trials operational. It's not my job to do the protocols for that.
Worked on TB vaccines, Malaria vaccines, and many others.
You just want an excuse not to do what you should do.
I get that.
But spreading fear of vaccines when they have alternate preparation methods - e.g. nasal spray - that would do away with the thing you claim to fear is not helping anyone. At all. In fact, it's putting people at risk. People with compromised immunities from various diseases and infections. Babies. Old people.
That's the take home message.
Now, post some other thing where you attempt to attack me personally, if you so desire, but it won't change that.
I know what pertussis is - we're in a zone where it's a major problem at the epidemic level.
You fail to realize I work in medical research at one of the top medical research universities in the world - as in #4 for global health programs.
We sometimes get things due to our people in my department traveling to Africa and other places, or at the trial stages. Typically we get flu vaccines a few weeks before most hospitals do, for the same reason. Probably half the researchers here are from other countries, although some become American citizens.
It's like today's incorrect media interpretation that "Alzheimer's" is decreasing worldwide. It isn't. The rate of dementia is decreasing in total quantity due to better programs, but dementia is frequently caused by things other than AD.
I don't have time to argue with you over what is happening in some other place. You probably think the HIV vaccine trials failed in Boston, for example, not realizing we have other HIV vaccine trials ongoing including one that's a joint program with the FCHRC a few blocks away.
I never said YOU could get the shot. I said I got the shot. For all I know it may be years before they roll it out to the general public. It was new, so that's quite possible.
We even now have a permanent Tetanus combo booster shot (TDAP) instead of the old every ten year one (that probably expired, don't step on a rusty nail!).
Correlation is not causation, but not getting an MMR measles mumps rubella shot is just criminal. Without herd immunity we're starting to see hospitals requiring people to wear masks or stay in isolation wards, measures we never had to do before the "fad" of not getting shots started.
And, no, I don't care what your objections are - there are nasal spray versions of all the shots, so stop endangering everyone else with your stupidity.

Have to agree with this - the really loud commercials tend to be the local commercials provided by Comcast.
There is a slight uptick in volume on a few ads, but most ads are not really loud anymore.
The loud ones I just switch to another channel to ignore. Losing the channel money.
It's all fine until a needle falling from the sky pokes Jimmy's eye out or injects him with psychotropic medications.
"Mommy! I found a box full of candy that fell from the sky!"
Pull!
(drone falls to ground)
Hmm, another package of free drugs flying over my airspace.
They also pay no taxes and are subsidized by the rest of the country.
Which basically means when you hear of housing prices and trade in the UK, you have to remove the Square Mile from that amount.
God Save The Queen and Frack the PM!
And that would be laughable.
Now excuse me while I finish my morning breakfast of poached eggs on english muffins and backbacon, followed up by some Earl Grey tea.
And reporting you to the NSA!
I know! The NSA's snooping combined with the TSA's probing have kept us safe. Amen.
And they do it by use of this tiger pebble, that keeps away tigers.
Nobody better touch my pagan festival for the "birth" of someone born in July, yet celebrated in December.

They still exist, we just don't admit it.

Right, like drug resistant TB due to people not finishing their courses of medications, or flu which actually kills a lot of people.
Soap and hot water and hand washing and getting your shots would stop almost all of that.
Incorrect.
Worked on TB vaccines, Malaria vaccines, and many others.
You just want an excuse not to do what you should do.

I could eventually find out. But I won't. You just want an excuse not to do what you know you should do.
Goodbye.

I work in medical research - you're confusing the fact we have labs at the VA and I'm former military with what I have access to.
One of the benes of working at a top level world medical research university, I guess.
I said there are nasal spray versions of them. Preparation is not an issue.
The problem is you've never seen people with polio (it's back), measles, rubella, or other fun things, and have no idea how bad those are.
You think you do, but you don't.
Now stop eating your mercury-laced sushi and shark meat and get real.
new formulation - maybe you civilians don't get it yet

They just use keywords and who you sent them to, and when you sent them to geo-locate you.
Welcome to our Stasi Overlords!
Is pants ok? Or do you cool Seattle-dudes go full caveman?
that's a good question - a lot of people wear skirts actually, but that's a choice.
Most of Seattle has short commutes if you bike, skateboard, or walk.
It's only car drivers that take forever.
