Iirc the ancient meaning was actually a punishment for a terrible loss. They would draw lots and and on in 10 would be chosen. Then thier fellow soldiers would be selected to do the dirty work.

I mean… the researchers lied to the parents about the risks. How are parents supposed to make an informed decision with false information.

…Qiu and his team downplayed the trial’s risks in describing them to the parents, overlooked safety signals in animal studies, and proceeded even though success was unlikely. “This shouldn’t have gone to trial,” says Steven Gray of the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center… … “Learning the reality of these missing safeguards has fundamentally changed how we now view the entire project,” says the father… “We did not realize how unusual and dangerous many of the arrangements were.

Then who’s going to do the research now that it’s all been defunded and American scientists a jumping ship just to stay employed…

Short answer: yes

Long answer: CDC recommends 2 doses of Shingrix separated by 2–6 months for immunocompetent adults aged 50 years and older: - Whether or not they report a prior episode of herpes zoster.

what little came out of thier pockets.

This is 100% funded by some donor, PAC, or taxpayers. There is no fucking way that this First Family is putting thier own money in an intentionally non-profitable venture.

Or it’s funded by loans that will never be paid back.

We can dream…

Sadly, with the chip shortage, USB sticks aren’t even that cheap anymore. MSoft and Sony would adopt the latest (most expensive) usb version for the transfer speed. You wouldn’t want the cheap chips/sticks anyway, lest your $90 game stick randomly corrupt itself.

Then you have to protect the stick while it’s plugged in so it doesn’t get bumped and break the connector/port; so then it’s back to proprietary sockets that only certain sticks fit into, flip-top covers, or something “under” the console. I remember folks throwing a fit when Apple put the power button on the bottom of the Mac mini 😂

1. It’s pure plastic waste at that point. No one is going to be making plastic bottles for the purpose of dissembling them into hydrogen fuel anymore than they are currently making plastic bottles for the purpose of sending to waste-to-energy plants (incinerators).

2. It’s not just plastic. It’s plants too; ideally agricultural and industrial byproducts.

Solar reforming has emerged as a class of sunlight-driven technologies capable of converting waste-derived substrates into fuels and chemicals. By utilizing substrates such as glucose or ethylene glycol (EG), derived from lignocellulosic biomass or polyethylene terephthalate (PET), as electron donors, solar reforming enables a more energetically favorable oxidation pathway compared with water oxidation.

You don’t need DIY fingers for basic blackout curtains.

As long as the blinds aren’t completely in the way, a tension rod (spring loaded curtain rod) is cheap and just slips into place wherever you need to fit it.

The fiber helps me log regularly.

Is glitter a chemical weapon? 🤔

I certainly wouldn’t care to have glitter lung.

While JQ1 is not suitable as a treatment due to neurological side effects, it is known to interfere with a stage of meiosis called prophase 1. This allowed researchers to demonstrate, for the first time, that targeting meiosis can safely and reversibly shut down sperm production.

If developed for human use, this type of male contraceptive could be delivered as an injection given every three months or possibly as a patch to maintain effectiveness, Cohen said.

It’s trickle-down beeconomics!

Didn’t I just read that he said something stupid about the Iran war the other day? Why is the treasury secretary spouting off about foreign affairs?

How much opportunity do they really get to read brains in the real world?

I was gonna say the cervical cancer vaccine, but that just predates Hep C.

Would HIV PeEP count?

Because that’s not the case it is making…

It is the claim made by vaccine deniers that the aluminum in vaccines is very dangerous. This study demonstrates that dietary aluminum exposure far exceeds exposure by vaccines. The implications of this study on those claims are left as an exercise to the reader.

Fascinating!

Fascinating!

Farming your own homestead is just WFH, no need to commute. Or they drive their tractors to the non-contiguous fields.

Isn’t that a rat poison?
