 Do you use hats, shirts, knives, or tools? Probably not.
 Do you think the covid epidemic just coincidentally started within
walking distance of the Wuhan bat virus research lab? Probably so.

So I'm supposed to believe the proximal cause was a lab leak not only of a known-dangerous virus, but very likely a _genetically engineered_ and weaponized virus designed by an antagonistic foreign power...
...and simultaneously the correct response for American leadership was to do _nothing_? Let that plausible rogue bio-weapon "rip" through society, don't have lock downs or implement any fashion of civil defense, and just ensure the restaurants stay open at all costs?
Right-wing conspiracy theories are a lot to unpack. There's perhaps sensible 20-20 hindsight conversations to have about some of these topics in isolation, but I don't know where to begin with the aggregate.
And that they don't make a lot of sense when taken in aggregate doesn't seem to much phase the MAGA-religious, who only seem to believe them in aggregate. They are matters of faith & devotion.

Designed any interesting circuits lately? Post one.

I like getting paid for designs mostly these days, I did do a multi-week microwave seminar late last year. If you want any of those crazy couplers or gap filter-things designed I'm your guy!
