Skin cancer is a bitch.

No clue. I tried to Google the article but to no avail.

I remember reading an article a month or two ago about a guy ordering a bunch of precursor amphetamines from China, and the distributor was able to route them through Mexico. He called it “simple” to acquire.

Ryobi garden tools are legit. I have the 40V string trimmer and 40V mower, and an 18V leaf blower, and so far I have no complaints. I once heard someone say that Ryobi tools are R&D for Milwaukee (as they are the same parent company).

My shop tools are all DeWalt because that’s what my parents and wife’s parents bought us for gifts.

10 am is way too late where I live. It’ll be >90 by then, and that’s a great way to get hear stroke. Most people in my neighborhood are out by 730 working.

Great question! For the US, you will need a degree in Molecular Biology/Microbiology or a Medical (Laboratory) Technologist. You’ll then either need to live near the city where one of the few private companies that do wastewater testing ar e(my case), or live near a public health lab that does ww. Pretty much all state public health labs do it, but city/county level varies immensely. For the government route, look at APHL or NACCHO to find information on your local public health labs. There are a few universities that also do ww testing, for example I know University of Illinois, University of Missouri and Michigan State are all doing a bunch of wastewater work.

Feel free to DM me if you want more information.

As Philpo said, we mainly do covid, but we can do Norovirus, which is a common GI virus that can give you the shits.

Love to hear it! 2 years ago I had no idea that I’d be working with wastewater but here I am now!

Anyone out here reading this, write to your senator about increasing funding to public health!

Wastewater-based epidemiology. Basically we track infectious diseases in wastewater, and the results guide public health decisions.

Fun story time. My wife Rick rolled me during our wedding ceremony. She asked to officiant if we could each send him a secret passage to be read during the ceremony. The officiant read my passage, the Dr Seuss passage about finding someone with compatible weirdness, then he started her passage “you know the rules, and” and at the moment I knew I’d been had. It was awesome. He went all the way through the first chorus.

Absolutely. If premium was 7 bucks a month I would subscribe today, but 14 a month is insane!

You are describing World War 3.

If Taiwan joins with Ukraine, then China joins with Russia and invades an underdefended Taiwan. Taiwan allies then have to join to protect them, and it balloons from there.

Is tomato bisque a soup or a warm vegetable smoothie?

I’m pretty sure I bought that shirt from ThinkGeek in 2008.

And you are absolutely right to be skeptical about that, that is a crazy level of extrapolation.

I am a molecular biologist, and it kinda works this way. B cells are called memory cells because they hold onto that “memory” of the invader for a really long time. You probably haven’t had an MMR or a Tetanus vaccine in 10+ years because the body is really good at remembering. But we have to get flu boosters every year because the flu mutates so rapidly that traditional b cells won’t recognize the flu after a year of mutating. (RNA viruses can’t correct their mutations so they change much faster than bacteria or DNA viruses). RNAi was still pretty new when I was in school and I haven’t kept up with the research so I can’t speak to it’s effectiveness at long term immunity.

Given the position of this statement in the article, I’m guessing they are trying to imply a correlation in rate of aging. Like 1 dog year = 7 human years. They are further implying that if a mouse maintains immunity for 90 days, a human would maintain immunity for 10 years.

It should be clear that it is the reporter stating this, not the original authors of the study.
