Advise everyone,do not get overconfident about this Covid. It's rampant even where vaccination rates are high. Wear a good quality mask,and avoid large social gatherings. And wash your hands.
  We are in for a long haul here.

T is on a week long cruise with his sister in the Virgin Islands. I was supposed to go but started a new job a month ago, same place and if I had gone I would have had to quarantine for an extra week, meaning I would have to take two full weeks off. I just can't do that with finals and Commencement coming up, plus I think it's plain stupid to go on a cruise right now with CoVid. T has been sick with a fever and blood oxygen at 82% as of yesterday. They tested him for CoVid and he'll know the results this morning - if he has it he'll have to quarantine and won't be able to fly back on Sunday. My biggest fear come true - kind of like how this whole nightmare started - the cruise ship! Although, CoVid was here already. Ugh...

I don't even know my blood type.

The diet of Aztecs was mostly vegetarian. Although it has been known that Aztecs consumed a considerable amount of acocils, a kind of small shrimp, other animals they consumed, including various kinds of fowls, gophers, and green iguanas, were only a minor contribution to their diet.

They have done studies where people try to live in a tribal society and not eat meat.  It doesn't work.  Everyone starves.  Being vegan or vegetarian is a yuppie luxury only possible by modern convenience.

I saw a video the other day where they asked this African from a tribal society what is most important to him, and he said meat.

Fruit, veggies, nuts and grains? You get protein from nuts and combining foods to create proteins. It's a conscious decision to not eat meat so an animal is not killed on my behalf for my diet. I don't kill insects either. You seem to have a problem with anyone that doesn't think the same or look the same as you - tolerance would be a good thing for you  to focus on today.

Tribal societies, in which humans lived in since before recorded history cannot sustain themselves on such things.  Perhaps with modern farming it is possible, but even with basic farming it wasn't.  People farmed for thousands of years and famines were a regular occurrence in Europe even into the 1800s.  The bicycle was invented because the year without a summer due to a volcano eruption and people couldn't feed horses to ride and some were also eaten for food.  The first bicycle is like Fred Flintstone.  I give a presentation where I use bicycle patents and I show the technological progress and teach about infringement and acquiring patents.  I use them as examples.  I show the first bicycle patent and then the next one a few years later and we first analyze it from the perspective of acquiring a patent ... can this second guy get a patent and if so, what for. We do that for a few iterations than we start all over and we look at it from an infringement perspective ... even if the second or 3rd or 4th guy can get a patent will his device still infringe upon a patent for the earlier bicycle.  It's a really good presentation.
