And according to the promotional video, it will pleasure you with a special dance.
“We apologize for being caught.”
It was already spreading from mammal to mammal. IRC there was that Mink farm last year and I think seals too. There were also cases of H5N1 jumping from birds to humans.
Given H5N1 can make the jump from birds to mammals(including humans), and from mammals to mammals, it’s not a huge shock that it’s made the jump to humans from other mammals.
H1N1 killed 50-100 million people, so the danger has always been there, and scientists have been warning about it for decades. For example, here’s a journal article from almost twenty years ago discussing this scenario:
Humans are mammals.
Are you suggesting they should simply start saving for retirement?
If so, that’s ‘let them eat cake’ level out of touch.
The ford mondeo (I think it was called the fusion in the US) was ‘inspired’ by the Aston Martin Rapide. This was at a time when Ford owned Aston Martin. Fisker and Porritt, who worked at tesla when the model S came out, also worked for Ford/Aston Martin.
It’s not just me either. For example, here’s a ten year old thread on the tesla forum which mentions it:

The tesla model S looks like a decade old eurospec Ford Mondeo.
Certainly look more alike than a porsche and a byd.
What are we going to do, shoot them?
Yes.
I really don’t think genocide on home turf will go over well.
See above.
Wet ass pussy.
What happens when something requires maintenance in a month/week/day?
Insert more poop emojis.
Textbook statistics don’t really hold when you have a huge selection bias, as just about any poll does.
Meh. Often quite accurate, if you read the small print and caveats. It’s not 1980. Good pollsters don’t just do landline surveys, they correct for demographic factors, and are transparent about flaws and limitations.
IME the problem is usually how the media reports on said polling.
Probably inflation.
You don’t need to poll everyone to get relatively accurate polling results.
I have a related degree, it is possible with the necessary caveats, margins of error and confidence intervals. Statistics is a wonderful thing.
This being said, I actually read the full 77 page document they linked to, and if I’m not mistaken the 55% comes from a 2021 telephone poll. Obviously phone only polls are likely to be biased, even if you correct for demographic factors like age.
Then again, inflation is a problem.
I have a related degree.
The study was conducted for CNN via web and telephone on the SSRS Opinion Panel, a nationally representative panel of U.S. adults ages 18 or older recruited using probability-based sampling techniques.
BUT…
In a January 2021 poll taken just before Trump left office and days after the January 6 attack on the US Capitol, 55% considered his time as president a failure.
Relevant bit:
Unless otherwise noted, results beginning with the August 3-6, 2017 survey and ending with the April 21-26, 2021 survey are from polls conducted by SSRS via telephone only
TLDR: doubt those polls are representative.
TBH I assume assume the least informed and biggest arseholes dominate discussions.
The rest of the world is simply lucky that our biggest and dumbest arseholes don’t speak English too well.
Bit of a tangent, but I find it funny that Americans complain about it being hot when they have AC in most of their buildings, but then mock people complaining about a 40C/105F heatwave with relatively high humidity in countries where AC is anything but standard and sometimes with houses which are designed to keep the heat in during the winter meaning it can easily reach 45C/115F or more inside.
I assume it’ll happen again this summer, with the usual Marie Antionette level “let them use AC” comments, not seeming to grasp the environmental and financial cost of AC everywhere.

when israel releases the 3000+ Palestinian hostages they hold in concentration camps we can reach a ceasefire.
In other words, you would rather that Israel continue bombing Gaza, than that Hamas and Israel sign a ceasefire today.
Almost as if you don’t actually care about the innocent men, women and children who are dying, as you find it politically convenient the conflict continues. Especially in the run-up to the US election.
Israel, however, is the matter of getting enough of Rs to vote Yea to outweigh the Maggots. I don’t like it, but the feds spend billions of dollars on tons of stuff I dislike. If allowing a continued genocide in one country means that the same won’t happen in two others…(sigh)
And it’s not as if a lack of funding would stop them anyway. It’s largely symbolic and to ensure Israel keeps buying American.
