squid cat on panel two is kind of cute though, tbh
While freezing should kill multicellular eukaryotes (worms or other parasites), bacteria are pretty hardy, even to things like freezing. Plus, even when they aren’t, they make up for it in numbers… if you kill 99% of 10 million bacteria, you still have a hundred thousand that can subsequently repopulate if they are thawed left to grow a bit (even in the fridge). I’m not sure about these Vibrio strains, but the infective dose of some E. coli and Salmonella strains is measured in quantities less than 1000 bacterial cells.
Edit: reading a bit, probably this won’t be doing much growing at fridge temperatures (prefers warm water after all), however infections have been reported from oysters that were tested at about 900 cfu/gram of meat, so it might take (coincidentally) about a hundred thousand bacteria to cause an infection (~10g/oyster * 900 cfu/gram * 12 oysters or so). This isn’t very much… you probably have at least 1 to 100 million cfu/g of various bacteria on chopped lettuce, for instance.
I mean id probably be good if we waited until hs or college to teach gender identity.
Children are bombarded by gender norms long before they stop using diapers… so you can’t really mean ‘gender identity’ here. Presumably you mean “nobody should learn about transgender identities until high school or maybe college”.
I assume, much like the many people who realize they are gay or lesbian earlier in adolescence, that many transgendered individuals also realize or suspect their gender status early in adolescence as well. It’s rather cruel to hide away information like this at the time when it is especially relevant… just as it would be cruel to not teach about periods until many girls have already started them (another bright inspiration brought to us by social conservatives). Rather than being isolated in the dark, children should be supported as they grow into their own individuals.
Just for the record, Bedrock has free mods too. If they’re packaged appropriately, they even install automatically when you open them. The main difference is there isn’t a way to lock bedrock to a specific release version, so things tend to break over time as the game changes. This make the very large & complicated compilation mod packs impractical on Bedrock.
I wish the article touched on the nano particles more… like, what happens to them after you’re done? Are they dissolved or expelled (or do they pile up in various parts of the body and cause chronic issues…)?
That said, very few doctors actually perform late term abortions anyways (even though these are almost universally due to complicating medical scenarios and not for funsies).
1/7 districts (14%) were majority black, but the population is 27% black. The argument was that the black voters were unfairly concentrated into one district and diluted into the other 6 so as to limit their effective representation in the government.
I wonder if this will be embraced officially by publishers, or just left as a DIY thing for enthusiasts.
To the best of my knowledge, this is a temporary kbin-specific thing. Pretty sure I saw Ernest mention there is a change in the works with the next update... in fact: https://kbin.social/m/kbinMeta/t/116811/PSA-every-interaction-you-make-with-various-posts-on-kbin#entry-comment-462816
Hmm, 63 upvotes and two comments… there is certain level of irony here.
While I understand why there is lots of negative energy about Reddit right now, there’s no need to be hostile to people who still want to use it—it is still a massive repository of information and serves a ton of different communities, after all.
People should be on Reddit if they want to be on Reddit, and be here if they want to be here, and that’s not an insult to anyone.
I don’t think Reddit is going to change course here (or, in the future)… at some point protesters are going to have to give up, get out, or become increasingly perceived as trolls.
Tbh, I’d think men would self exclude from these jobs because they’re afraid they will look less masculine working them.
