Polio was a manmade disease. Not nearly enough said.

DDT induces symptoms that can be indistinguishable from poliomyelitis.
Polio is caused by a naturally occuring virus.

Ring is the Amazon-owned video doorbell that is extremely popular among a certain kind of neighborhood here in the US.
Ring is cool. Shares your internet connection without your consent. Well, in reality WITH your consent, that 56 pages of consent you sign off on when you start using any Amazon product. So yeah, without your REAL consent.

No one remember Cambridge Analytica?
No one really understood what that incident meant. If they did then there would not be any social media anymore.

Those long consent forms are from a strategy that predates the digital era. When you want to hide something, become a "paper-blizzard". It relies on the human condition as a constant. We want what we want and we want it NOW.

Wasn't someone talking (dare i say writing?) about noisy exhausts?  But aliens, plastic guns and horses with polio playing polo is more entertaining AND we can push this thread to a new milestone.  What may that milestone be... any takers?

Not that we have a problem with that though, right?😉 Anyway I can only guess what is a whoof...

Topical: here's a new podcast on the very subject (the original one, that is).. I haven't listened yet but these guys usually have something intelligent and went entertaining to say.
