landed it!

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_traffic-related_death_rate surprised me at first:

Indonesia: 15.3 road deaths/100,000 inhabitants/year
Bangladesh: 13.6 road deaths/100,000 inhabitants/year

However:

Indonesia: 36.7 road deaths/100,000 motor vehicles/year
Bangladesh: 1020.6 road deaths/100,000 motor vehicles/year

won me over in the end

this was some of the best stand up I've seen in a long time!

About a minute or so into this, I realized I had no interest in even hearing people pretend to whine.

Would a Ferrari have been better, or can this feel like a Ferrari prank in a Lambo? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ferrari#/media/File:Ferrari-Logo.svg

why isn't there a USS Enterprise that looks like this?

(**parody (*parody)), I think

after all the things that Eddie Murphy stuck up there, it's no wonder we're starting to find them again:

Fake news that walruses don't live further south than Alaska! I saw a bunch without tusks in Florida.

Delightful, but not King Canute's best friend

I see this and worry.

Yes, it's funny and, yes, it's important to have a sense of humor. I'd still feel more comfortable about his options as he grows into a young adult if he first nailed the math, and then made the joke.

Excellent! I suppose that the way to generate the first of the many sequels is to add this short to the bot's training data.

laowhy86, who made the underlying video, lists his sources in his YouTube description as:

* https://www.reuters.com/investigates/special-report/health-china-bgi-dna/
* https://www.defenseone.com/ideas/2019/08/its-high-time-germany-fund-and-fix-its-military/159149/
* https://www.armyupress.army.mil/Journals/Military-Review/Directors-Select-Articles/Nanatechnology/
* https://nonproliferation.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/scientific_risk_assessment_genetic_weapon_systems06_cover.pdf

I've not checked the video's claims against his sources, but didn't hear anything about bioweapons or the PRC/CCP's interest in them that seemed surprising.

The video did strike me as partisan: I have no doubt that the USG is also working on weaponizing precision medicine. While I don't like partisan presentations, I recognize that may be acceptable to keep a topic tractable (thus, "Chinese genetic bioweapons" v "all genetic bioweapons").

I think this is a very important topic, so would like to see the _ideas_ discussed - not just our political differences exposed.

Can anyone expressing concerns about the original video indicate which _ideas_ they think are incorrect or overstated? (I'm not interested in the partisan aspect of the video: I'm aware of that already.)
