This is manifestly not true. Genetic engineering a bioweapon is not the only way to make it.

You can start with a known agent and use cultures or hosts to select for virulence, and you would be able to get surprisingly far. Just ask Japan.

They are trying to say that compared to most infectious agents you really have to try hard to get HIV/AIDS. It is only easily transmissible in a few edge cases like sharing needles, receptive anal intercourse.

Yeah these kids deal with email like once a month and I get 300 a day, 100 need replies you're damn right it's gonna be one word if possible

Really it should be considered a success, if your email can get a single word reply you gave all the necessary information in an intelligible format.

Oh uh yeah my grandpa uses that word in a very similar context, not sure I'd repeat it though myself

It's not great. But residency is where the villain arc begins.

Google used to be like "we have found 10 quadrillion websites with your term" and you could click page 173 and it would give you the list for as many times as you wanted to click

Then they went to giving you several pages but if you clicked past page two they would be like hahaha psych there are actually only two pages of results for "starcraft two newbie tips"

Now I'll search for specific phrases I know I read somewhere and I'll get like, three god damn results.

Really? On the entire internet? Three results?

It's just disrespectful and insulting

Nicotine and amphetamines had the same effect based on studies done during the pandemic, accounting for smoking's oddly protective effect that was observed initially, counterintuitively.

As someone with ADHD that dips and drinks coffee, none of that stopped me from getting covid repeatedly while working in a hospital.

Nah star citizen was a scam first, game second. If it ever produces a game it will have been purely incidental to continuing to run the scam and milk those whales

I took an amtrak from El Paso to Austin one time, took well over two days. I got to the train station early because I heard it was unpredictable; they were four hours late. They stopped overnight in San Antonio for absolutely no reason. Later I realized flying would have been cheaper.

It's like a 10-12 hour drive if I remember correctly, it's been a few decades but I still remember how much the whole ordeal pissed me off, having come from a country with functional rail.
