I don’t think pointing out that it took him 79 years figure that out is giving him credit for anything

I can cont on 0 hands how many airbases Iran has access to near the US.

A relevant “dishwasher guy” video just came out this week.

It could also indicate anything with a control box designed to be fixed in place. Basically anything that isn’t the portable 120v charge cable, because the 240v control boxes have to be “sized” appropriately to the specific circuit they are connected to to prevent the car from overdrawing power.

It hasn’t told me otherwise.

I’ve been playing more Universal Paperclips recently.

Now now salmonella like the rest of the civilized world

Because she got the D. She doesn’t know he’s shooting blanks.

Also “sterile” doesn’t mean “no fertilization”. I think the way they do it for mosquitoes is that the males fertilize the females, but the offspring are unable to develop and hatch. To propagate the males in captivity, they modified critical genes to require specific laboratory conditions to activate. In the wild those genes can no longer function and the eggs don’t hatch.

I just went to charge my kitchen scale and it wouldn’t work until I dug out a USB-A -> C cable and plugged it into my desktop…

It just reminded me of how many devices like that I have. This scale, my wife’s sound torc, some car jumperstarters, and I think a one or two more…

I assume it’s because they just slap a usbc port on a dumb 5v circuit that doesn’t have a power negotiation controller. So the cable and the charger cant figure out the power needs of the device are and just never send any.

 

DISCLAIMER: I am in no way advocating for the spreading of a highly contagious and deadly disease or the abstention from safe and highly effective vaccines. But, this is No Stupid Questions, so…

Measles is known for wiping out your immune system memory and re-endangering you to pathogens you had once successfully fought off.

Allergies are when your immune system misidentifies something harmless (like pollen or peanuts) as a harmful pathogen and triggers an immune response.

So, what happens to allergies in people who get measles? Does it wipe out the immune system’s memory of the allergen? Does it expose them to develop new allergies? Do we even know whether it does anything to allergies at all, or has it never been studied? What about other auto immune diseases?

Secondly, if it does do something, is there some way that it can be utilized to help allergy sufferers? Not in the “give people a deadly contagious disease” kind of way (I’ve heard of the tapeworm thing), but is there something there that could studied and developed into a targeted drug or treatment? Or is the mechanism just too broad and dangerous.
