This is interesting. Different people eat different things, which obviously implies biological differences. It is well known that a lot of animals have sub-races within the same species. One example is ants, where some of them are workers while others are soldiers who protect the hive. They are the same specie, but the soldiers are several times bigger than the workers and they do not work, only fight to protect the hive. Another example is a type of rodent (i forget which). They live in underground caves, but some of them don't really do much. They are bigger than the others, and they just laze around and eat a lot. However, when the rain comes they serve a very important function. They waddle up to the entrance of the cave, and plug it with their big fat butt. An easy and lazy life in exchange for a risk of being eaten by a wandering predator. What about humans? We used to live in tribes. Some men would spend most of their time in camp, building clay pots and playing with the kids, while others would be out hunting animals (or other humans), risking their life to protect and provide for the tribe. It is possible (and I would say seems reasonable) that there are genetic differences between different types of men. At the least, we can say for sure that there are psychological differences. Does diet correlate to psychological traits? I have never seen any studies about this, but I would guess that it does. Different lifestyles obviously require different physical abilities and different ways of thinking, it would make sense that that means different types of food are optimal.Maybe, just maybe, this virus is more likely to be fatal for soyboys than normal men. Would be very interesting to see some statistics, once we have enough samples. So, maybe testosterone is the cure. We should just throw infected men into a pit to fight over a slab of bacon. Also, you remind me of the Japanese concept of grass-eating menGrass eaters are just their word for men going their own way. Which, being bitcoiners, we all pretty much are by definition. As for family, if it turns out to be possible. It's not in the west. That's part of why I'm moving elsewhere. Yes it does. Colon is lined with enormous count of nerve cells, which are believed to interact with the brain. As well as i don't have a source link handy, i don't know if this evidence was strengthened in the meantime. And according to this, heavy consumption of certain food, wheat meal, HFCS, sucrose, fat... harms, at least changes gut bacteria that is linked to process or create serotonine/dopamine in the colon. On the other hand, colon bacteria population was discovered to be influenced by psychic illness, and the findings correlated to a good amount to the colon popuplation of obese people. It's a two sided sword indeed, while fructose and fructans (fructose alcohols, as in wheat) play an important role here. For example, i was diagnosed as anxious/depressive two decades ago, and i was able to change my mood and strength by a diet i held because i was later diagnosed with fructose malabsorption. Even today, when i eat too much fructose/fructans i get angry, nervous, my muscles become weak and hurt, skin problems etc. My colon suffered from inflammation for decades, taking a shit several times a day was causing malnutrition, which in turn led to vitamin deficiencies, these caused my memory problems. So i can say for sure that brain fitness and nutrition are linked directly. |

Of course, i presented kind of a modernised representation. Didn't want to throw full hardcore at you, but i see i can't add anything of value for you now. "I am that i am" is also the far better translation, forgive my sloppiness.  |

WHERE IS YOUR GOD NOW?
which one? Names pls. of course, ya noob    Choose between these two possible translations: JE HO WA = "He, who is" JA HWE = "All there is" A tip from the school of Yedi: Choose wisely, young padawan. A tip from me: The original wiseasses of the church made the wrong choice. Other than this, after zooming a little, this looks like a clean, round bottom to me (insert perfrect female butt pic here).  |

Too far behind to even try to catch up, but I have a little something for you that might explain the rapid spread in Iran. Apparently it's a thing in Iran to lick sacred places and the government aren't shutting them down. Video: https://twitter.com/i/status/1233783635007954949Saw this too. Unbelievable. They even believe in the "healing power" of licking the shrine. I consider this as an example of Darwin's Law. Some cultures are just too dumb to succeed (EDIT: and/or survive). Reminds me of flat earthers a little. I can think of a couple sacred places I'd like to lick.
I went to an alleyway on the outskirts of Rome and paid off a member of the Swiss Guard for a ten minute play with this.  I could taste some thrush, a hint of swarfega and a whole lot of crystal meth so I'm pretty goddamn confident it was pulled straight off the pope in his sleep. Almost always i read something like this from you, i have to compulsively think about Patrick Bateman. #nohomo Btw: The movie is like an audiovisual sleeping pill, compared to the novel, imo. Coronavirus update:
... (more unconvenient news)
The chinese government seems to have some success in limiting the outbreak applying strict measures. I don't see much of a chance for the rest of the world, excluding north korea and russia. I refer to Darwin's Law again. My last hope is that the virus doesn't survive summer's sun ultraviolet radiation levels (like SARS). However, my UV-C equipment is set up and ready. It can decontaminate a whole room and every surface within that is reached by its light, in a matter of minutes, without the side effect of producing ozone. My health now only relies on family members that have to go to work or school. Everything else is manageable by using soap and proper hand washing techniques. As a person with hyper-reactive immune system, i have to take stronger measures each winter, i'm already used to that by now. Dramatic drop in levels of air pollution after closing down China's factories.
The bright side of the two-sided-medal. |

- 38% of Americans wouldn't buy Corona beer because of the coronavirus. I bought it because funny. But only once, now I won't buy it because it tastes like horse piss  You know how horse piss tastes like?!  How come?   There are 6 confirmed cases of covid-19 in my neck of the woods now - all imported - 3 from China and 3 from Iran.
Don’t worry, you are going to start local production very soon. Could be that we all have to accept SARS-CoV-2 Covid19 as seasonal addition al to the flu. |

 Romanian TV faking up an 'empty shelves' story. Everything from the shelves is just piled up behind the camera Yeah, I have noticed the same with Italy empty supermarket pictures. They just focus on some random empty shelve... and you can clearly see in the background many others completely filled... yet the pictures imprints the idea of a complete full stop of supplies. Fuck mainstream media. One thing is spreading bullshit because of incompetence (something I take for a given), and another thing intentionally misleading when you know better. Bleh. Yesterday i wanted to buy some noodles. The noodles shelves were empty, as well as rice, canned beans and eggs. Today i was at the supermarket again, still not restocked, flour and evaporated milk shelves now empty too. I asked for restock, they said at noon. I returned there at noon, people with carts full of toilet paper waiting for the delivery truck. I went to a small store at the city border and got all i wanted there, easily. No need to touch my prepper reserves yet. People are endlessly dumb. They will smash their heads for a bottle of soda in the supermarkets soon, while i will shop the grocery stores in a relaxed manner. But you have to know this: Four confirmed Covid19 cases in the whole country so far... This is insane. EDIT: Fishing "season" starts mid of April, too. I'm set. Quotes because fish can be caught all year, but it's harder in winter, of course. |

Dems, Reps... Doesn't make much difference. We're fucked, globally, economically, we just don't realize yet. Does anybody still thinks politicians are working for us?  It's we that work for them, they just orchestrate our behaviour, but that's not how democracy should look like. It would cost a lot of our blood to change this. And even if we wanted to, they would make us to fight against each other than against the establishment for something better. We're just too dumb (yet) to be really free. Any government is just elected, temporary dictatorship. The old greeks would likely stab themselves in shame, if they'd know what "democracy" looks like today. |

Well looks like Pence will be the person who will run point on the virus outbreak.
We're screwed. But at least he will prey for us.
Pff. What's the worst that could happen?  In all fairness, the "Do Not Touch" is in parentheses, so maybe he thought the sign was just kidding. Who would stick a note like this onto anything that must not be touched, anyway? |

Most linux distributions can be run on read-only filesystems (same as from cd) BUT the only true security hole is running them as root, because volumes can be remounted in rw mode on the fly. I'm using this strategy on my raspberryPi that is running the game console emulators for the kids. They don't do no shutdown, they just pull the plug/wallwart. Roms are stored on etx4 USB, mounted read-only. This one is just mounted in rw mode on the PC, to manage the roms and emulator binaries.
Just make sure you run linux as unprivileged user. Privilege escalation is a thing though, but unlikely on patched systems. However, when you're not connected to the net, i doubt there is a fair chance of catching a successful exploit via USB.
Again, your postulated security described above is utterly dependent upon the rando USB device implementing only a storage class endpoint. Whatevs. Good luck with that. I would care less if i am running as unpriv. user on a system that is not network connected. I didn't mention that i'd never use a host with actual user data on it. I thought that would be clear because i was replying to Dabs' "frozen sysimage" approach. I would definitely not use a guest VM but a dedicated box that i can reset via dd or similar disc imaging tools, i wasn't clear on that, as i just recognize while typing this. And yes, it's part of the very basics: there is no 100% security, only 100% security against certain (and therefor known) attack vectors. I’m gonna say this one last time. Your postulated recovery is weaksauce against anything other than a disk-resident vector. dd ain’t gonna do nothing for you if malware-containing USB infects the BIOS. Newer BIOSes. I forgot to mention, i'd never use such for plugging in untrusted usb media. My good old Pentium-M notebook is still running, as long as mains power is supplied. 12 year old NAS with usb should also do, wouldn't even accept input devices. Totally wrong?
I’ll leave it as an exercise to the reader to prove that there is no way for malware to futz with the ‘safe copy’ of the BIOS that could overwrite the other. (Hint: as if)
depends how it is implemented if the button is an actual hardware reset that forces a reload from ROM that seems like it would work if it is just a software call then the malware would just reset your settings and lie to you, and if it is not an actual ROM it would just write itself in the backup... Imo, it depends if the reset procedure copies over a default BIOS from actual ROM (safer, resets to factory BIOS) or a copy of the current BIOS from NVRAM (not safe at all). I'd suggest it's the latter. I have a P7 milspec grade board made by asus, dual bios, read from NVRAM. So i wouldn't consider anything like this as safe as long as proven otherwise (security standard certification). - Leaked documents reveal coronavirus infections up to 52 times higher than reported figures in China’s Shandong province. the problem of politicians is that even when there is a serious situation they continue to lie, I do not believe in the numbers that the Chinese government keeps talking. the situation is probably much more serious and china continues to lie about the numbers of dead and infected The less (free) information from china (and similar dictatorships), the worse the situation, imo. Think that the dissent by SEC Commissioner Hester Peirce is quite telling how much Bitcoin getting traction / being adopted is being feared: "This line of disapprovals leads me to conclude that this Commission is unwilling to approve the listing of any product that would provide access to the market for bitcoin and that no filing will meet the ever-shifting standards that this Commission insists on applying to bitcoin-related products—and only to bitcoin-related products"
The "fear" phase. |

IMO, this sell-off seems like a fakeout by some big whales to make newbies think that bitcoin can't work as good as gold (and other safe-haven assets) during a global crisis (like coronavirus). Eventually, these whales should lose the sell-off power and bitcoin should get back on (bull) track. OTOH: Countries with first cases of coronavirus in past 24 hours:
- Brazil
- Pakistan
- North Macedonia
- Greece
- Georgia
- Algeria
- Norway
- Romania Phew, this could turn out very ugly. Not because of real Covid-19 threats, but because of the people panicking. Globally. A co-worker of my wife visited his parents and they didn't let him in, even though there is not a single confirmed case yet in the province they live in. When normal people go mad, mad people become the norm. Interesting times, indeed. |

How can mounting a USB stick on an AutoRun-disabled VM affect your host's BIOS? Honest question, I want to know.
Don’t lost track of the fact that USB is an acronym for Universal Serial Bus. That device could contain any number of USB endpoints, each implementing a different device class. What if one of the endpoints identifies as a Human Interface Device — for example a keyboard — and injects a number of commands to the system? From the users perspective, invisibly. Or even deeper, a bridge device, giving it access to the underlying I2C bus - maybe even the SMB? Yeah, but who is going to maintain the discipline required to ensure any potential infection does not spread from the separate PC to others in your stable? There is the Yubikey which types for you like a USB keyboard. There is that Rubber Ducky, which types like a USB keyboard and can type like it was there at 100 words per second or something as fast as a keyboard will accept, such as Windows-R, CMD, and do any number of commands from the command prompt. https://shop.hak5.org/products/usb-rubber-ducky-deluxeAs for virgin clean PC's, I used to (and still do) use something called Deep Freeze, reboot to restore thing. If the host computer it's installed on gets infected, before it can propagate any problems to the rest of the network (assuming you disconnected it physically from the rest of the network), you just reboot, and it's back as new, as if it was never updated. Most malware is unaware of it's existence. It's great for setting up kiosks that provide internet access through regular browsers. At the end of the session, reboot, it's back to the way it was. If you need to update anything, reboot, turn it off, update, reboot, and it will stay that way. In theory, it can still be hacked, but in practice it's as if the whole computer is one giant VM. Reboot, and it's back to the way it was yesterday. If you need to save data or files or documents, you save them on a different drive or partition or folder designated as such. But the rest of the OS, reboot, and it goes back to the way it was. Most linux distributions can be run on read-only filesystems (same as from cd) BUT the only true security hole is running them as root, because volumes can be remounted in rw mode on the fly. I'm using this strategy on my raspberryPi that is running the game console emulators for the kids. They don't do no shutdown, they just pull the plug/wallwart.

Hard to get some beans, noodles and rice already. Came home and i saw that i already advanced to Jr. Member!!! ...again Again? This is mainly for VB1001:  I'm just going to eat McDonald's food if there's a crisis. No bacteria or virus can live in that stuff anyway and the probability of dying from SARS-2 is likely higher than the probability of dying from eating only McDonald's food for a few weeks. As an added bonus, there won't be a queue. Uh, oh, no... Sorry, bro! According to a testing from last year, the bacterial and fungal density, count and variety of the bottom side of the grips on McDonald's trays are higher than on their toilet seats! No joke, mister. You probably get in contact with SARS-CoV-2 from an asymptomatic carrier this way, either directly or indirectly via the wiping cloths that do not get exchanged for several days. You're better off by getting their "food" through the McDrive instead. |
