It's not that deep.
Never.

It's glass, dude. There's not gonna be a crease.
Why are they on X? As a European company, should they not be posting instead from W Social?

Nobody is stopping you from bolting on a modified Casio watch.

What is "more visibility"?

Nobody is stopping you from forking Asahi and making your own version with cocaine, hookers and AI.
So you (high karma user) are recommending that I (low karma user) simply flag (which I can't do) and not respond (leaving no trace) to misinformation?

I should respond to bad info by continuing to lurk. Very smart!

Could you share the paper where every tick species was tested over a decade and none of them ever climbed up a tree and fell down on prey?
Humans walk to Burger King (not just McDonalds), provide payment, and wait for a cashier to provide them a hamburger. Everyone knows humans aren't capable of "hunting" with a "bow and arrow."

You are taking the official, "please don't panic" story from CDC and trying to force it down everyone's throats while claiming it's as basic a fact of biology as chromosomes and the mitochondria. It's not. This is a contested area of animal behavior, not a microscopic process.

Are you persistent in being dense because you want somebody to engage with and correct you, or are you genuinely trying to get people infected?

Your comment's first sentence says "getting a tick is no big event."

My response aims to inhibit and disrupt the complacency neuron of the reader that might have been activated by your comment. Sorry, but learning hurts sometimes.

Being rude to people spreading dangerous misinformation is mandatory on the internet, lima.

Do you kindly and charitably respond to antivaxxers and drug dealers?

You're not paying $1,000 for a cut down Android when you buy a Comma Four.

What you're buying is an entry ticket to Comma-land — where dozens of car models are supported, pre-made harnesses are just a buy button away, and everything is open source.

If George had chosen to go the closed source route, you might be paying $200 for a locked-down device and $200 every month for a mandatory subscription.

Which one makes you feel better? Comma as a business needs to be able to pay their employees.

Where is your proof?

They have thermal sensors on their forearms and are known to climb trees. Why wouldn't they approach from above?

What, you mean the thing Microsoft did to IBM with DOS? Say it isn't so!
Ticks can transmit Powassan and Heartland viruses within the first 15 minutes of a bite.

Still feeling cool, suave, experienced, and fearless?
