I think I just kinda have to to be able to not have my head wrapped around this poo poo 24/7 like a lot of us were 2-3 years ago. I don't want to waste headspace like that again it just eats at you. I would love to have good news all the same.

Wingnut Ninja posted:Pfft, plenty of things kill 100% of tumors yes I'm intentionally ignoring the "no side effects" qualifier shut up It's a tiny bit outside my field but I know a decent bit on these. The cancer drug stuff is exciting, but lots of things fail during or after phase 1 trials, so it's got a ways to go. Nice to know that something promising is out there again though. For mRNA vaccines they are loving awesome and super useful for a lot of reasons but the way that cold viruses mutate makes it a much more diverse / rapidly moving target to develop a suitable vaccine from based on all that I know at present. So, basically a cold vaccine would probably not be very effective for too long. A proper virologist can probably tell me if I am wrong but I am modestly confident that rhinovirus (cold virus) is not a great use case for the mRNA vaccines.

orange juche posted:The paper describes basically a holy grail cancer drug, they found a molecule that is able to selectively interrupt reproduction of cancer cells across a broad list of cancers, and can cause lethal damage to those cancers via interrupting that process. Normal cells don't interact with the cancer drug, only tumors, so no observed toxicity or side effects in normal cells, since they literally give no fucks about the molecule. Yeah, cant recall off the top of my head but I think I recall something else like this popping up before and went into phase 1 and never heard about it again. Could be getting confused. I am optimistic, but there's a long road from here to functional therapeutic.

Also makes one wonder how much longer / more bitter a postwar occupation period would have been if US soldiers had spent a year or two fighting on the mainland. Without the bombs I imagine you would have had a real mess of some places capitulating and others needing to be effectively killed down to the last person resisting.

You can't smoke weed and keep security clearances either but hey he's still launching for the gov so I presume his never got revoked. Point being, he's rich and twitter is still big and the rules are not for everyone.

Elviscat posted:They did pull his clearance for that, and forced organizational changes within SpaceX that put Shotwell in charge of anything sensitive, firewalling lonnie's dumbshit rear end out, he might have it back by now? Thanks. Him losing his clearance was news to me. I think losing it over weed is stupid also but would have been even dumber if selectively applied.

Every single, right leaning dissatisfied, older white person, I have met in Rhode Island Pines for moving to Florida one of these days and it’s their most frequent threat. Any time the state looks sideways at some tax policy. It’s pretty common for snowbirds here to have a house down there as well and some of the people that do that have come in and noted that they aren’t getting good medical care in Florida and have to come back to New England for that.
