New Coastal Republic - West New Coastal Republic - East Brotherhood of Steel Country for the rust belt Corn Enclave for all the places that are mostly corn. Desolate Wasteland for the rest It's a stretch but we might make Fallout universe without the nuclear war first.

Duzzy Funlop posted:Don't have a recipe, but man, j now crave some flat bread or naan. Bread doesn't require constant attention but it does have multiple steps that need to happen with a hour or two between each of them, which is now possible for someone working from home or off work to do. Likewise a sourdough starter needs a bit of care to get going in the first week but afterwards you just remove part of it to make bread and then add in more flour and water to keep it going Plus homemade bread is really good compared to store bought bread and you can make all those fancy things like brioche or a herb and onion loaf or Georgian Khachapuri or whatever, so it's worth it if you've got the time. Doc Hawkins posted:it's not selective-fire, and i'm pretty sure its ammo is too small Legally it counts because back before WWI a lot of states had "Winchester laws" to keep poor/black people from having access to them.

The leak is scummy and very obviously a thing with Gilead, but hey, sometimes you don't get to pick your sources of hope. At this point, because of lag times, the feds should probably cut a multi-billion contract to manufacture a gajillion doses of the thing, even if it doesn't work out. Same deal with the potential vaccines. For what it's worth, there were two other studies of remdesivir that got cancelled in China due to a "lack of recruits." Magically everything got better in China!

Why give people hope of a vaccine if it possibly won’t pan out? I’m also really cynical.

Because their audience isn’t you, a member of the general public, its clinicians who are watching lots and lots of people die with no treatments. If you’re a doc with an ICU full of patients on vents, you’re going to want to try something, anything so that when you make your fifth call to family that shift to tell them that their parent is drowning to death and they can’t say goodbye you can say we tried everything we could. wins32767 fucked around with this message at 01:02 on Apr 17, 2020 |

StatNews posted:https://www.statnews.com/2020/04/06/gilead-remdesivir-data-coming-soon/ I read earlier that remdesivir is very cheap to produce, like $1/dose, but it's a bit different when a biotech company might've just found a money printer that goes brrrr Riot Carol Danvers posted:It already is, Trump spouted something about azrthromycin and guess what's happening Hydroxycloroquine / Z-pack is on Fox News, so that's what Donnie word-vomits about.

Woofer posted:I get that, but I feel like they are getting promoted to me, the wrong audience. The folks on the front line badly need some options and hope right now. My buddy’s wife is a pulmonologist at a nursing home and they just got their first covid case. The odds are 100% of her patients are dead in a month. She’s going to come out of this a lot better if she tries to help even if it isn’t effective. And we’re going to need a bunch of pulmonologist that specialize in rehabbing damaged lungs before this is all through. As a society, it’s the smart move to trade her mental health for side effects in dumbasses that try stuff without talking to doctors. It’s not like there is a doctor only Twitter.

Best Friends posted:It’s really hard to do that kind of flatbread at home with the same magical result because a lot of what gives it that oomph is the insanely hot fire oven that the flatbread is on very briefly. The best you can do at home is a longer time over lower heat (a maxed out frying pan) which is going to give you thicker flatbread in my experience. But, pretty much any fresh flatbread is still good and really easy to make. I wonder if I could use my cast iron above some coals

Even earlier there were laws in Europe banning "short" wheellock guns in Germany in the 1500s for being too "handy" to use compared to the then-common matchlocks, and since the emperor of the Holy Roman Empire at the time was scared of getting assassinated, and then later in France because they were also scared of Huguenot assassins. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rk-pISvud6w https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TfeusAG1oTQ

Remdesivir was part of the drugs that Trump was initially told to word-vomit about like a week or two ago, except he couldn't pronounce it, and instead said - with this faux-confidence of someone thinking they're the only one that knows a thing - "Rim-Reservoir" or somesuch. So regardless of its effectiveness, you can expect Trump to say he was right about it all along despite pushing an entirely different drug for weeks.

Pedantry incoming: North Carolina had a law restricting civilian ownership (or was it carry?) of pistols to Colt and Remington, the two most expensive options available. Militaries the world over resisted repeating arms because the leadership thought soldiers would waste all their ammunition before the enemy got close enough for the fire to have an effect. Many early bolt-action rifles had a magazine cut-off to make you load singly until an NCO told you to use the rounds in your magazine.
