Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

Can I scribble on this Jesse? Or will that stress you out?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

No, please do. I should have said, I haven't even re-read it, really.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

A handy guide to which body parts are most sensitive to solar flares. Because you never know when it might be useful.

If I only had a brain...

So, there's no pandemic, there's no proof that it can be transmitted from human to human, and yet we should preemptively spend billions of dollars that we don't have?

The answer is that every other major flu pandemic started as something transmitted from bird to bird. We have no proof that there's an earthquake currently in process in San Francisco, but we know one is coming sooner or later and we'd better be prepared. Same with bird flu. There will be another pandemic, there is a virus out there that looks more serious than its relatives (bird-transmitted H5N1 has killed half the humans who caught it), and has already been transmitted bird to human with at least one probable human to human.

So this is more like "What do we do when the hurricane hits Florida" than "What do we do when the hurricane hits Kansas".

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Hey! I'm a licensed teacher!

Teach us something.

Backflung Jesse. I have no idea if any of it was helpful. It's an interesting thing you've got going there.
