I don't think so. The common cold is caused by about 200 different viruses or variants of the rhinovirus. Incubation is also very low with 24-72 hours, so you would have to basically take it every time someone sneezes around you.

    Suing is expensive, but it's all speculation from my side, so I don't want to lean heavily into the argument.

    I agree that it got some vibes to it that wants me to agree with you.

    Did they recently implement a "feature" that doesnt allow the printing of guns or something?

    About an hour ago, I heard a strange noise outside and looked through my window to see some light moving in the grass. I did a quick recording from my phone but it was blurry because the camera kept focusing on the mosquito net, so I grabbed my headlamp to go outside to investigate.

    It turns out my landlord got a real fancy lawnmower robot that was almost completely silent moving the lawn.

    I go back in to watch some Youtube videos. About half an hour in, a lot of whacky channels start popping up recommending me videos of UFO sightings.

    Coincidence or is it because I made a video with blurry lights while saying "What is this?"

    I lean towards the first option because I avoid pseudo science channels like the plague and I didn't give the algorhythm any starting point. You know, like when you accidentally watch a basketball video and the whole feed turns into basketball until you train it that you're not a basketball Fan to make them go away.

    Now I have to do that with all the UFO videos and weirdly enough sasquatch that got into the mix as well.

    I think I have to degooglefy way more serious than I already do. I always have camera and mic deactivated in the system unless I get a call or take a picture/video, so I should be good during the day. I do that for over a year now and the coincidential recommendations that mimic some random stuff you talked about a couple hours earlier stopped completely. But sometimes I need those functions and I don't like some company using it for evil.

    Screenshot of the first Video I took:

     

    [...] In a phone call to UDC leader Duma Boko, President Mokgweetsi Masisi conceded and congratulated his opponent.

    Despite overseeing a dramatic change in Botswana, recent poor economic growth and high unemployment dented the BDP’s popularity.

    The party "had got it wrong big time", Masisi told a press conference.

    "I will respectfully step aside and participate in a smooth transition process ahead of inauguration. I am proud of our democratic processes and I respect the will of the people."

    He has urged his supporters to remain calm and rally behind the new government.

    Speaking to Boko on the phone, the outgoing president said: "You can count on me to always be there to provide whatever guidance you might want."

    In his first comments to the media since the outcome was clear, Boko, a 54-year-old former human rights lawyer, said: "What has happened today takes our democracy to a higher level. It now means we've seen a successful, peaceful, orderly democratic transition." [...]

     

    [...]It was the first conviction of a Louisville police officer who was involved in the deadly raid.

    Some members of the jury were in tears as the verdict was read around 9:30 p.m. They had earlier indicated to the judge in two separate messages that they were deadlocked on the charge of using excessive force on Taylor, but chose to continue deliberating. The six man, six woman jury deliberated for more than 20 hours over three days. [...]
