I’d have greater respect for your judgement if at in point in the last half decade or so since you told me I was going to be murdered by my friends who happen to work for the Federal government, you had shown the faintest hint of reassessing your conclusions in light of updated evidence.
This pattern maintains for every other instance where information which did not serve your existing conclusion came to light.
Ah yes, this old saw again, too; the “obsession” that consisted of you accusing me of lying when I brought up something you didn’t want to hear.
And then I go and prove what I said had happened.
Which has also been going on for years, now; remember, you also stated that you didn’t want to give any kind of details to support your claims, because when you did, I went and looked up to check your claims.
Then posted the evidence.
Really interesting look, for someone who is so in love with calling others liars.
You (and any other normie confident from a lack of insider knowledge) are irrational if you think that the US jurisdiction is that strong a positive, given what can be known about influence and access when it comes to universities and hospitals in America.
The broad categories of biosafety level are more or less useful when it comes to these sorts of labs.
Human infections that are respiratory are more often supposed to be 3 or 4 than 1 or 2. In the official theory, the types of biosafety level directly correspond to types of task allowed to be done in that level of lab.
In practice, LOL, who knows. Because as you say, the user of the thing matters.
I’m less worried about a trans communist grad student in, say, a CS or an engineering lab, than I am a trans communist grad student in a microbiology lab.
The real problem for university labs is university leadership that is the wrong disciplines, but also leadership in correct disciplines can be promoted because they have given up personally focusing on doing valid (by lights of their field) research. The latter are also potentially a problem.
A hospital lab where they culture throat swabs in petri dishes is not of the same order of safety hazard as a facility that both does genetic work and also has the infrastructure to grow strains in bulk.
The details matter, and almost none of the internet conversation that commingles the official safety levels is around the pertinent details. How much funds, and at which official safety levels?
One university in the US that is R1 or R2, in its official materials tries to describe level one and level two activities in detail, and also states that it /only/ does level one and level two work. With trying to keep the level two stuff more tightly controlled, but trying to keep all of that stuff inside control.
I don’t have any reason in particular to be concerned about those biolabs being used for three or four level work, but I do not unconditionally trust every faculty at that university.
In general, US labs may be staffed by people who donated to Democrats, voted for Harris, supported Black Lives Matter, and have had other anti-social behaviors that show a lack of regard for human lives. Then there are the foreigners at universities. Some of whom may be AOK.
So, yeah, foreign labs in foreign countries are potentially a problem. But if you are trying to get me concerned about biological warfare capabilities in the UK, or France, or Libya, and you include a bunch of biosafety level one labs that are probably actually biosafety level one, or not even that, I am going to conclude that you are trying to spoof my sensors.
I don’t really expect you (a programmer) or Tulsi Gabbard (an intel weenie and ambitious politician) to natively care about such details when you are very busy. But it should be relevant when you have assigned yourself an appropriate task.
If some of these labs are doing 3 or 4 work in 2 facilities, or if off the books funding and expertise has allowed a 2 to operate as a 3, that is kinda important.
If biosafety one labs are short enough on funding or staff, or have lax management, and are not operating their level one controls, that would be important.
Intel insider information about unusual funding levels in certain labs that are on the books lower level, or intel insider information about lax controls, or intel insider information about active biowarfare programs at a 3 or 4 lab could be or probably is important.
But raw numbers of ‘these many labs in that country’, aggregate totals, looks like a show to fool the rubes.
Americans literally think that the rest of the world are savages and barbarians, who cannot even do basic things correctly. This has also influenced our foreign policy, Foggy Bottom thinks it has to spend money on facilities in other countries so that they don’t screw things up working from within their own culture. It should be expected for a bunch of white savior folks in State to think that they have to tell the Ukrainians not to eat their own feces. Whether we are talking electricity, water purification, or level one biolabs.
If we aren’t going for a carbon neutral/net zero extermination of the foreign populations, then we should want agriculture in some other countries to be more reliable, because lower food stress might reduce the number and intensity of wars.
Did you know that there are places outside the united states which have running water, heated water inside buildings, and electric transmission lines? I hear that in the Ukraine, men and women have sexual intercourse, causing women to become pregnant. Super super dangerous adn deadly, humanity is doomed.
The Wuhan bio-warfare lab that gifted us with COVID19 was supposed to be level 4. The French built it to be level 4, and to be operated jointly. But as soon as construction was complete, the communist Chinese took over, booted the French out, and started having ‘incidents’ with hazardous germs getting out of containment.
Level 4 is not just the hardware; it’s constantly and meticulously maintaining strict level 4 protocols, which communists are not good at. “We pretend to work and they pretend to pay us” extends to everything.
If a lab works with normal flu, that’s usually level 2; avian flu, 3 with bonus ag safeguards because humans might not even get sick from it, but it can wipe out swaths of animals and birds are terrible about washing up after using the toilet.
I just found out that folks are arguing with Grok about this.
Yes, Ukraine had biological research labs. The US DoD's Biological Threat Reduction Program funded upgrades and projects at ~46 Ukrainian facilities since 2005 to secure Soviet-era pathogens, boost biosafety, and support disease surveillance/public health work. The labs were…
No, straight facts. Tulsi Gabbard’s June 2026 DNI release (as outgoing Director) confirmed longstanding US funding for 120+ biological research labs in 30+ countries, including over 40 in Ukraine. These handled dangerous pathogens (mostly Soviet-era legacy stocks) and some…
The Ukrainian labs (Ukrainian-owned/operated, ~40+ upgraded via US DoD BTRP since 2005) maintained repositories of and studied dangerous Soviet-era pathogens for biosafety, diagnostics, and surveillance. Key ones included anthrax, plague, tularemia, plus avian flu genome work and…
And yes, I am very pissy about this, because this kind of conspiracy theory bull feces hits me where I live when morons who think farming consists of poking a seed into the dirt and waiting have vapors over how much work goes into making food production safe.
But, Foxfier, if the covid is dangerous enough that we saved humanity with the lockdown and the vax, then pathogens are too dangerous for the stocks that hospitals and med schools have, and we should then eliminate the hospitals and med schools as a preventative.
This is classic ‘when you set yourself on fire, it becomes harder for others to grapple you’ logic.
Anyway, the ‘zombie virus is used to create Ukranian supersoldiers’ stuff is pretty purely about making communication impossible, to prevent dispute resolution or reconciliation.
No bet. There were proposals after the USSR fell to fund hiring their biowarfare folks to keep them off the open market, but as far as I know only the “bring the Russians into the ISS or their missile folks will go freelance” ever got any funding.
Once Vlad got the oil money flowing of course he spun up biowarfare labs.
Like the ones in Vegas and Fresno? Jia Bei Zhu’s setup in Cali was discovered by a code enforcement officer who went “Wow, that place stinks, that’s not normal.”
Oh, interesting, I hadn’t heard about this detail (from link in my second comment, below)
The owner of the property was arrested and charged in 2023 in connection with an investigation into an illegal bio lab in Reedley, California, authorities said. The owner, a Chinese national, remains in federal custody and has pleaded not guilty.
The case led to a congressional investigation that found the illegal bio lab had allegedly been receiving money from Chinese banks and was housing thousands of samples of potential pathogens labeled as being HIV, malaria, TB, COVID-19 and even Ebola.
The items found in the Las Vegas residence “were consistent in appearance with the items found and described in the Reedley, California, lab investigation,” McMahill said Monday.
Besides the nasty stuff you can get up to with those– which are why they’re regulated— it would be interesting to see if there’s any connections with the Chinese national baby farmers that have been caught.
Nobody’s admitting how they figured out there was stuff at the Vegas one, just “sources say” it “started as a suspected code violation”– which means it was probably someone in the neighborhood going “Wait, they’re getting a lot of refrigerated deliveries and trying to hide it…there’s something hinky here.”
(And that person probably thought it was human trafficking, actually, given the techniques that would overlap.)
Well, the one they set up in Fresno got busted, but the sooper spy they had running that one was already a fugitive from the Great White North, so that only leaves their well established business partners in the cartels to help them get that startup running.

Eh, it’s a situational thing, like you say. Friend of mine the oncet was laid up for a while, hurt on the job and healing. Some dumb masses of the thuggery kind thought it a good idea to burgle the old house down the lane that had a truck in the drive that hadn’t moved in a good long time. At oh dark thirty. On a random Tuesday in August.
Getting chased out of the house and down the street by a naked man holding a big f#ck off machete, howling like the hounds of Hades themselves was good enough to get things going in a proper, more orderly direction.
The fact that one of said fools pissed himself running away and the other left a very slight blood trail from slipping and falling flat on his ass in the driveway made tracking breezy easy. Lady cop that showed up to take his statement (after he got dressed) had a good laugh about it.
All’s well that ends well. Buddy got back to work hale and healthy. Gents what went down the burglesome path saw reasons to change their ways. And the tracker dog may or may not have taken a fat chunk out of one running fool’s ass, thereby giving a poor pup a meal on a hard working day.

Given the angelic ability to take on any kind of outward appearance (since they are pure spirit in nature), there is actually no reason to believe that one’s good guardian angel could not take on the appearance of a possum in a waistcoat.
St. John Bosco, a reasonably modern saint, notoriously had some kind of guardian angel running around in the shape of a big gray stray dog. In late 1800’s Turin, this meant something kinda German shepherd-y.
Il Grigio (the gray one) followed Bosco around whenever he left home. He also played with kids, refused treats and water, attacked Commies trying to assassinate his subject, and allegedly disappeared out of a locked room on the top floor of a stone tower after being “captured.”
He stopped appearing when the danger to Bosco’s life went away.
Il Grigio appeared again, on camera, during the translation of Bosco’s body from one grave to another, and guarded the body silently while it was in Turin. He then disappeared again. One of the Salesian order members, who had been alive back then as young kid, insisted that this was indeed the same mysterious dog.
A few members of Bosco’s order, mostly Salesian sisters, have reported also being guarded by Il Grigio in times of danger, in places as far away from Turin as South America.
It is a weird story. I picture this angel as thinking he was going to be very serious and undercover, and then being startled by his fame in places like Mexico.
Youtuber Mark Rober has three times run a squirrel Olympics. He has also pranked porch pirates with GPS-tracked fart spray glitterbombs, and given a TED talk on a multimillion dollar K-12 science curriculum project.

That one about hating your political opponents is a sobering reminder. I still hate the left though and I don’t see that changing unless I step back from following politics entirely. How do the rest of you overcome this?

I remind myself to love individual people. At the risk of sounding like a hippie, too me that’s the most basic thing you can do.

I avoid most people as much as possible. If you cut down your irritation with in-your-face stupid, you have a little more endurance for everything else.

On the clanker Argo with Jason and quest code… well, lots, but mainly the Argonauts are sitting backwards for rowing that boat. And there’s seven other names besides Jason in that code, but there’s eight faces, so the code should add a line for either “that other guy” or “redshirt ensign Bob”.

Used to use hexadecimal daily. That brings back memories.
I still want to know what the second and first most populated states of Florida are.

The most populated one would be the one in which you use the phrase, “Here, watch this!”

Per recent from LTC. Kratman, while the Chileans may have allegedly retailed such flying lessons, the Argies “Dirty War” appears to have allegedly wholesaled them.
More reasons to heed his warnings and avoid any such festivities if possible.

Given the angelic ability to take on any kind of outward appearance (since they are pure spirit in nature), there is actually no reason to believe that one’s good guardian angel could not take on the appearance of a possum in a waistcoat.
St. John Bosco, a reasonably modern saint, notoriously had some kind of guardian angel running around in the shape of a big gray stray dog. In late 1800’s Turin, this meant something kinda German shepherd-y.
Il Grigio (the gray one) followed Bosco around whenever he left home. He also played with kids, refused treats and water, attacked Commies trying to assassinate his subject, and allegedly disappeared out of a locked room on the top floor of a stone tower after being “captured.”
He stopped appearing when the danger to Bosco’s life went away.
Il Grigio appeared again, on camera, during the translation of Bosco’s body from one grave to another, and guarded the body silently while it was in Turin. He then disappeared again. One of the Salesian order members, who had been alive back then as young kid, insisted that this was indeed the same mysterious dog.
A few members of Bosco’s order, mostly Salesian sisters, have reported also being guarded by Il Grigio in times of danger, in places as far away from Turin as South America.
It is a weird story. I picture this angel as thinking he was going to be very serious and undercover, and then being startled by his fame in places like Mexico.

I wonder if Tolkien had heard anything about Il Grigio.

Youtuber Mark Rober has three times run a squirrel Olympics. He has also pranked porch pirates with GPS-tracked fart spray glitterbombs, and given a TED talk on a multimillion dollar K-12 science curriculum project.
The TED talk began with an “energetic spontaneous rapid disassembly” on stage. (That’s an explosion.) With ping-pong balls.
In case you haven’t guessed, he used to work for NASA.

He’s also done some scam busting of phone scammers.

Atlanta literally means ‘equal in weight to a man’, and her gimmick as a mythical character is pretty much being able to function as crew on the Argo during the Argossy.
There was this one dude, not mentioned in the meme, whose gimmick was being able to balance Herakles as a rower.
Or I think not mentioned, has been a while, and I’ve been wired and irrational enough not to sleep well. I do not remember the guy’s name.
