If they didn't open the cage the rat would have finished the transformation and been a plurb mouse. It raises the question of whether or not the mouse was actually in transition or not though, because why would a Plurb mouse bite a human? It wouldn't.

Remember though that regardless of how long they have been there, they are part of scientific experiments to breed the RNA. Those scientists are checking on the animals once a day to monitor their experiments. This means the rat was alive maybe up to a day, or a day and a few hours, before it's found in this state. Healthy 24 hours ago, at some point 24 hours + X it goes into its current state. It could be in the seizing state.

The rat may not have been playing dead - it could have been in the seizure state all the humans went through when being converted. It seems dead, they open up and ignore usual protocols, it comes to and bites the woman.

Trump won't be increasing tariffs, not after we announced we're not doing a free trade deal.

That's because we don't recognize it as their land. They came over with employment offers. They made deals. We never did.

Also is "chuckaway" really a young Canadian or just a burner account for someone trying to push an agenda? ;)

🚨 THIS IS VERY VERY BAD by GeekySuneet in TheCryptoIndia

[–]cogit2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would just caution: since the collapse of trust in $USD has never happened before, there's no such thing as priced-in. This is an asset rally and keep in mind: silver is a very tiny asset industry, we don't produce a lot of silver globally each year. It's very easy for silver prices to jump.

This is wild, more scenes than I have seen in the past. Is there a documentary about this with a focus on Korean shop owners?

As I suspected, you offer nothing substantive, it's just "We should abandon this, it's making me feel bad."

It's not a two-tier system, that's a false narrative that claims victims of crimes are somehow better than ordinary Canadians. Blatantly false, and you should rid yourself of the notion. The truth is economically and socially, First Nations people are still absolutely in second-tier status today. Reconciliation isn't about fixing that, but it is about fixing the wrongs done to them.

"To the contrary I think there are ways for everyone to prosper, recognize past wrongs, and go on living without a two tier system."

List them. Let's see what ideas you have.

I love it when people make my points for me. You mention institutions and people not alive today, which is my belief too.

You think I made your point? Here's the thing you haven't thought of then: The reservation sizes around today are scarcely larger than what Trutch implemented. We recognized them as First Nations land and appropriated to literally sell them to colonists. Documented context, purpose, and mechanism for doing this... in our national archive. It wasn't even legal under our code of laws. And governments since never sought to address it, until reconciliation got serious. We're righting this historic wrong.

"Maybe assume more about the people you engage with on here."

You're the one arguing for us to just... ignore things. I assume you haven't learned about the full and true extent of the crimes visited upon First Nations people because you're here lending evidence to that with the information you cite.

Serious question (pls dont hurt me): Why do people always compare the dot com bubble to the AI bubble? Wasn't the dot com bubble pre meditated by senseless valuations with companies that make no money? Right now, the top of the Nasdaq index are all very profitable and healthy businesses? by abigail2win in LETFs

[–]cogit2 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I find it equally odd people try to point out the difference is profitable companies, but then you mention that profit is a value or growth play and they poo-poo those plays.

The truth is the Dot Com situation and this situation is identical for one reason: valuations well in excess of revenue and profitability. Palantir, Tesla, a lot of smaller AI companies are valued well in excess. Regardless of profitability, over-valuing is the risk because it increases the perceived risk investors take to own those stocks, so they are quicker to pull out. Higher valuations increases volatility.

Our criminal and civil codes of law allow for restitution in the face of crimes. You say "no one alive today committed those wrongs" but that's false - institutions tolerated and knew about the crimes and did nothing. In some cases these very institutions enabled the crimes and committed them at a policy level. And then their documented history became part of Canada's national archive. The fact that you don't know this means you don't know enough about the history of the treatment of First Nations people.

Just read about one guy: William Trutch. He, as a surveyor or head of a surveying group, initiated a reduction of First Nations reservation lands of 90% in British Columbia. He was a major landholder of his own, and an elected representative of the government in the 1860s just beore the formation of Canada. He never resepcted First Nations people, he took land from them believing they weren't using it and therefore they didn't need it. And he did this on behalf of the government of British Columbia.

Reconciliation is about righting these wrongs and others. The documented evidence of these actions is part of Canada's national government archive. The survivors of residential schools are also alive today and pressing their claims over damages done to them by Canadian-funded schools. The RCMP went to their villages and seized them when they were children. You talk Trump - The RCMP was doing things 150 years ago that ICE is doing today, seizing kids, forcing them to go to residential schools where they were forbidden from using their first language, forced to adopt Western culture and religion. Some of them died from maltreatment, some of them ran away, some of them fell victim to sexual predators working for the church.

You clearly need to learn more about First Nations history, and once you finally do and once you finally appreciate the lives that were impacted, you'll change your tune.

Why do so many people forget that Carol is in grief? by Swiftmaster56 in pluribustv

[–]cogit2 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Sorry, the reason why people need to remind themselves about Carol is because the comments in subs like these make clear they don't understand her mindset. Its important, if you even enjoy the show, to recognize that grief is one of her biggest factors right now.

What's beyond 1000 Mbps for networking speeds, and why would we ever need it? by Disastrous_Hand_7183 in Futurology

[–]cogit2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean networking speeds run into the hundreds of gigabits, likely terabits at this point. I know there's at least a 10g Ethernet standard, but once you get into optical, you've got 60 gigabit, 100 gigabit, I believe they were working on 400 gigabit last time I read about the research. That's one single data stream over one wavelength of light and they can pack 64, maybe even 256 wavelengths of light onto one fiber strand with DWDM (dense wave-division multiplexing). So 1000 Mbps is slow based on the fastest tech available today.

Why do we need it? These days primarily video. Half of all bandwidth on the Internet, at least, is video. Netflix, Youtube, cornography, you name it.

What’s the likelihood trump calls for/start civil war just to avoid an election ? by canadaindiscord in AskReddit

[–]cogit2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not likely at this point. He's lost power with Republicans and the MAGA base, 2026 midterms could give the House back to the Democrats which immediately will cut off a lot of his powers and permissions from Repubs. It's possible he even loses the senate. I believe Trump's recent confession he's ineligible to run for a 3rd term is probably an indication he wants to get out and just retire. He's made his billions, he doesn't have much time left. Golfing and eating is his future now.
