@cjd@caekislove@sulaco@professionalbigot69@sickburnbro We went from the possibility of eradicating malaria and a bunch of other diseases to bio-engineering mosquitoes to be released in Florida in under half a century.
FUCK THE PELICANS. FUCK THEIR SOFT EGGSHELLS I DON'T GIVE A SHIT.
I used to be able to buy Thomas Laboratories' fish-mox (Amoxicillin) and fish-dox (Doxycycline) from Amazon.
Jeets can buy infinity antibiotics w/o a prescription. Chiners can buy infinity antibiotics w/o a prescription. Factory farms can buy infinity antibiotics.
Good thing the FDA extorted all the pet stores to make sure that we're safe (and effective).
Glad the RFK and the rest of the fine people working for government are busy proselytizing about the MMR juice.
Intelligent and conservative positions on veterinary medicine and care; reasonable caution of allopathic medicine but not all-in on herbal medicine. Doing a great public service in sharing information.
@ceo_of_monoeye_dating@djsumdog@randbot@Terry I only know like two of the names on that list, and even then I only know /of/ them. I'm referring to the act itself (and the subsequent cheering), not the specifics.
I just find the whole situation to be an odd externality.
@mhjohnson@djsumdog yeah but even with those gas disconnect surge protectors, it can arc right across that and toast everything on the other side.
Basically, if lightning strikes you're fucked. You can stack layer on layer of grounding and attempt to mitigate it, but ultimately you can't overcome the wrath of God.
@djsumdog I need to figure out the fiber classification and connector situation at some point (STP? MFP? I don't even recall the acronyms). I'm a little worried to run 300' of Ethernet, something that's been on my list for a while, out of fear of lightning, even if it's shielded & grounded cat6a.
@admin@Vashna I worry this whole ordeal is the pressure relief valve hissing.
"I gave her $88, I'm heckin' saving the white race! Now back to anime titties and the old-new Bethesda vidya!"
Grift campaigns are always suspect IMO. I'm sure it has a name, but enabling people to "do something" where "doing something" is swiping a credit card is pacification.
Perhaps I'm too cynical, but if this does move the needle, as you mention, it /will/ be co-opted (if it hasn't been already).
No idea if it's true, but FWIW this is the first thing I thought when I saw the single-arm sleeve. There are only two reasons someone does that, and neither of them is "I just like tattoos".
Made me wonder if circumstances like this are *allowed* to proliferate because some people are holding the second shoe, just waiting for the opportune moment.
