I see what you're saying. I wasn't aware that the USDA had updated the zones, so that was news to me at least. The appsite they built is neat. It does actually drive home that this is abnormal and will continue to accelerate in the future at least.

"These things changed, here's the details" is a pretty tame headline, what's the problem?

I'm no expert, but in general (for these bird flus) the transmission by airborne droplet is what gets you, so the amount in a speck of sneeze is enough.

I imagine drinking a pint of what amounts to a room temp liquid culture of virus is incredibly bad for you.

We found a race condition in the teleport code. Turns out the efficiency curve for the restoration magic that undoes the disintegration in real time has a parabolic mana requirement related to mass, but disintegrate has a caterneric curve. For human sized stuff they match up, but if you try to teleport something of sufficient mass the restoration starts to draw a disproportionate amount of mana and the whole thing falls apart.

Also, we need to hire some more QA contractors.

Senior QA in the wizard world would actually be a respected title. Can't make senior if you're dead, and you can be alive if you're bad at it.

Conceptually, the nihilists are right! Nothing does matter.

Oh snap, so this guy is on the faaaaaaaar side of the bell curve wearing the hood and agreeing with me. Well played.

250 years ago people would rent pineapples for parties as status symbols because they cost $8000.

Nowadays the most expensive pineapple you can get is barely $400.

That's progress
