Iirc the ancient meaning was actually a punishment for a terrible loss. They would draw lots and and on in 10 would be chosen. Then thier fellow soldiers would be selected to do the dirty work.

I’m pretty sure bass are fish

I thought that they had start the whole Apple Intelligence development over because Siri had been so Ship of Theseus-ed that it was impossible to integrate “AI”into it in a way that they thought would be presentable.

This is why our generation feared quicksand.

An immersion blender? Maybe 🤷‍♂️, but apparently it was invented in Switzerland.

It’s also called a stick blender. It’s a wand with a small spinning blade on the end. You put it into the food to blend it instead of putting the food into a blender. You can blend hot soup right in the pot, emulsify sauces and spreads, froth milk, make smoothies, etc. Since you can move the stick around, it handles thicker blends that would stick to the sides of a conventional blender.

I can’t wait to see the look on your face when you see what happens with the horse!

For me it was an immersion blender

I mean… the researchers lied to the parents about the risks. How are parents supposed to make an informed decision with false information.

…Qiu and his team downplayed the trial’s risks in describing them to the parents, overlooked safety signals in animal studies, and proceeded even though success was unlikely. “This shouldn’t have gone to trial,” says Steven Gray of the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center… … “Learning the reality of these missing safeguards has fundamentally changed how we now view the entire project,” says the father… “We did not realize how unusual and dangerous many of the arrangements were.

More than a quarter.

1. I first read that as “Korean” and thought “weird choice to call someone out for, but I can see it”

2. How can we verify the Karen-ness of his ass outfit without a view of his ass?

Then who’s going to do the research now that it’s all been defunded and American scientists a jumping ship just to stay employed…

Musk DGAF about humanity. He was just but-hurt that he wasn’t a part of it. I’m pretty sure Musk is on the record of saying they should have done exactly what they did before he got ousted.

I’d say If I received one, It would get a mustache, but that would only embolden his supporters.

Those weren’t jokes

Short answer: yes

Long answer: CDC recommends 2 doses of Shingrix separated by 2–6 months for immunocompetent adults aged 50 years and older: - Whether or not they report a prior episode of herpes zoster.

what little came out of thier pockets.

This is 100% funded by some donor, PAC, or taxpayers. There is no fucking way that this First Family is putting thier own money in an intentionally non-profitable venture.

Or it’s funded by loans that will never be paid back.

1. It’s pure plastic waste at that point. No one is going to be making plastic bottles for the purpose of dissembling them into hydrogen fuel anymore than they are currently making plastic bottles for the purpose of sending to waste-to-energy plants (incinerators).

2. It’s not just plastic. It’s plants too; ideally agricultural and industrial byproducts.

Solar reforming has emerged as a class of sunlight-driven technologies capable of converting waste-derived substrates into fuels and chemicals. By utilizing substrates such as glucose or ethylene glycol (EG), derived from lignocellulosic biomass or polyethylene terephthalate (PET), as electron donors, solar reforming enables a more energetically favorable oxidation pathway compared with water oxidation.
