“The liberty of one citizen ends where the liberty of another citizen begins.” - Victor Hugo

“My right to swing my fist ends where your nose begins.” - Abraham Lincoln

Oh, and since the topic for some reason seems to focus on Germany again let us read from my country's constitution, the Grundgesetz (Basic Law):

Basic Law for the Federal Republic of Germany

Article 2
[Personal freedoms]

(1) Every person shall have the right to free development of his personality insofar as he does not violate the rights of others or offend against the constitutional order or the moral law.

(2) Every person shall have the right to life and physical integrity. Freedom of the person shall be inviolable. These rights may be interfered with only pursuant to a law.


And with those I think everything that needs to be said has been said.

@Artie: Sorry, starting typing this before your post went live. But as I said above: It's going to be my only contribution to this topic

So... If you have Netflix, I highly recommend Arcane. Based on League of Legends, it stands on its own. The writing, voice acting and animation are all superb imo. FTR I have never played LoL and don't know the first thing about it.

Haven't seen it yet but here's to hoping the new live action version of Cowboy Bebop isn't terrible!

If ya like Bebop, you'll find the LA version like a show with Bebop Easter eggs.

BurstarThe other 2 would be English Translations of a German Translation of an English speech.

No. As I said, you didn't read. The articles were quoting a total number of four virologists: Andrew Pollard (UK), Alexander Kekulé (Germany), Hendrik Streeck (Germany), and Christian Drosten (Germany). I linked to mainstream news outlets, you call them "sensationalist rags". I guess that illustrates the problem.

Artie is right, let's leave it at that. In a year or two we'll see whose comments aged better.

Well, we can agree on 1 thing at least. Artie is right. Shame really as I would have pointed out that those German quotes are likely in the German articles I didn't read for the reason you conveniently quoted me on. Oh well. Now that we've cleared all that up any further comment on this matter would be flagrant disregard of Artie's instruction.

Look, I'm fully vaccinated. I got it as soon as I was eligible, and I view it just like getting the TDAP vaccine or the flu shot every year - just something to do to keep myself safe. I haven't really noticed any side effects, tbh.

Unrelated, have you guys seen the new Surface Pro? Ultra-light and versatile. At your desk, on the couch, or in the yard, get more done your way with Surface Pro 7, featuring a laptop-class Intel® Core™ processor, all-day battery, and HD cameras. Get creative on the vibrant PixelSense™ touchscreen with Surface Pen. Adjust the Kickstand and add a Type Cover. And, run your favorite apps and games with laptop power — all at a standout value.

April, I believe. At least, that was the earliest I could get an appointment at my doc's. May have gotten the email in... March?

You should get yourself checked immediately since you need a booster shot. Otherwise you would know that the newly relaesed Surface Pro 8 is waaaaaaaaay better for only 2500$. Get it today at your nearest Microsoft...
