I can’t remember where I read it, but there was an article in high finance tech, where they were dealing with billions of transactions per second and relied on sub-millisecond timing. They still used terrestrial long-haul (cross-continent) microwave tower networks for this because even the time it took to transceive between optics and electrons in each switching segment meant fiber was slower. The latency tolerance for those applications preclude the drive up and down to space.

Which was the course of treatment right for YOU, you stupid fuck. Saying they respirators were killing people writ large is a dumb fuck ignorant misrepresentation.

This is goddamned bullshit and you’re despicable to suggest it. The SHORTAGE of respirators definitely cost lives, particularly as hospitals became overwhelmed. And if you think that was “fake”, fuck you. Fuck you straight to hell. Some of us lived it.
