Someone else posted that link as well, see my response: https://midwest.social/comment/11853764.

Having a PhD doesn’t automatically make someone a reliable source, and the site it is published on isn’t exactly a respected journal.

Other direct quote:

Some officials briefed on the intelligence said that it was relatively weak and that the Energy Department’s conclusion was made with “low confidence”

An article from a well-respected journal: https://www.thelancet.com/journals/lanmic/article/PIIS2666-5247(24)00206-4/fulltext.

It really seems like the evidence points towards natural origins. And the article you linked doesn’t actually have the evidence, it only waves toward the existence of classified intelligence.

No, this is circumstantial evidence from people who not only believe that this ebola outbreak came from a lab, but also that COVID-19 came from a lab, both of which are widely regarded as conspiracy theories.

I read the paper, and the evidence is very circumstantial. The fact that they argued the method of creating the rooted phylogenetic tree was not the right method, offered their preferred alternative, claimed it would likely give the result they wanted, but didn’t actually perform the analysis doesn’t come off well to me. They also seem to believe the COVID-19 pandemic started in a lab, and that the same (as they say) “experts” were involved really suggests they are conspiracy theorists who don’t trust the experts and believe in coordinated coverups of multiple lab leak events by this group of people. Believing in multiple conspiracy theories that are widely rejected in respected publications definitely doesn’t lead them to sound very credible.

I can’t find any evidence for this.

I think it’s edited on to the AI image after generation.

This is part of a joke series “Garfield’s History of Cats,” so this comic is intended as a fake historical event from the actual dark ages.

I don’t think the “dark ages” refers to the 70s.

That isn’t included the percentage that didn't change, because they aren’t interested in picking up and leaving the country just because they don’t like the government.

Not really, that theorem says there are true things that cannot be proven, whereas this question is more about running out of proofs that you can make.

Also only differences are stored, so if your files don’t change much each backup costs very little. I keep hundreds of backups for the previous year of changes, and it uses less than double the amount of storage the files take up. You can also enable compression, which I do, so it’s even smaller.

How are you having to scroll two page lengths?

 
 

I’m looking for recommendations on high quality open source games to try. Some of my favorite games I’ve played recently are Factorio, Kerbal Space Program, and Outer Wilds, but I’m willing to try many kinds of games (besides FPS).
