So you (high karma user) are recommending that I (low karma user) simply flag (which I can't do) and not respond (leaving no trace) to misinformation?

I should respond to bad info by continuing to lurk. Very smart!

Humans walk to Burger King (not just McDonalds), provide payment, and wait for a cashier to provide them a hamburger. Everyone knows humans aren't capable of "hunting" with a "bow and arrow."

You are taking the official, "please don't panic" story from CDC and trying to force it down everyone's throats while claiming it's as basic a fact of biology as chromosomes and the mitochondria. It's not. This is a contested area of animal behavior, not a microscopic process.

Are you persistent in being dense because you want somebody to engage with and correct you, or are you genuinely trying to get people infected?

You're not paying $1,000 for a cut down Android when you buy a Comma Four.

What you're buying is an entry ticket to Comma-land — where dozens of car models are supported, pre-made harnesses are just a buy button away, and everything is open source.

If George had chosen to go the closed source route, you might be paying $200 for a locked-down device and $200 every month for a mandatory subscription.

Which one makes you feel better? Comma as a business needs to be able to pay their employees.

Where is your proof?

They have thermal sensors on their forearms and are known to climb trees. Why wouldn't they approach from above?
