Im pretty sure the joke is that the slide is literally just saying “this is a cow” and someone is confused enough to ask a question.

I think it depends on your definition of “fine.” No one will die or even be particularly inconvenienced from not being able to play a particular game for a couple of hours at the same time every week. Steam alone has hundreds of thousands o

Dr. Daniel Griffin on This Week In Virology works with long covid patients and is starting to see the first Omicron induced LC patients coming in. The variant has only been around for a few months, so by definition we won't have as man

I think people are underestimating the sheer magnitude and infectiousness of this virus. Even if chances of longer effects are on par with the flu, it's MUCH more prevalent and infectious. Over the past year, we've had about one w
