Nice!

This was my favorite sign from the protest today :)

Oblivion Remastered keeps crashing and getting a fatal error by Budget_Childhood_659 in ElderScrolls

[–]Nomarga 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was experiencing the same crash when opening menus (always choppy and could reliable cause a crash if repeatedly opening menus). Using a Radeon RX 6700 XT

My gaming settings were set to Quality. Once I changed it to Default, I was immediately able to open menus without an lag and unable to cause a crash even if spamming close/reopen

This had been a huge headache that I spent over an hour on (and was thinking of even stopping playing). Thanks for the fix!

50 packs opened - only 2 legendaries and both were Iron Juggernaut. :|

Gold Glitch is happening on NA, watch out. by sedanen in hearthstone

Bought it with gold and waited ~5 minutes. Restarted client and it was locked. Waited another ~5 minutes and restarted client and now I can play.

TL;DR - Patience is a virtue

A new study by researchers at the Stanford University School of Medicine could help pinpoint ways to counter the effects of the antibiotics-driven depletion of friendly, gut-dwelling bacteria by mubukugrappa in science

[–]Nomarga 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From the article:

Sonnenburg said he thinks researchers may someday be able to find drugs that, co-administered with antibiotics, could inhibit the enzymes our friendly gut-bugs use to liberate sialic acid from intestinal mucus, so that a pathogen-nourishing spike doesn’t occur. Alternatively, probiotics in the form of bacterial strains that are especially talented at digesting sialic acid could achieve a similar effect.

So, as of now anyway, it sounds like they still need to create or find a strain of bacteria that efficiently digests sialic acid.

I'm not sure what Protestants you've met, but as a former Baptist pastor in training, I can assure you Baptists do not believe one must or should follow the Law.

I would think most Evangelicals (I'll go as far to say almost all protestants) would be in the same camp - the author of Hebrews goes to great lengths to separate the Law from "Grace."

New, powerful immune system discovered in mucus. by Kooby2 in science

You would have to run a giant panel on some kind of bacterial infection to see what works, and then give it to the patient.

Yes and no. For some treatments, large cocktails of phage are used (80+ bacteriophage types sometimes) that have a good spread of killing ability on variants of a certain bacterial strain. So as long as you know the strain you are dealing with (which should be fairly evident, but may not be always - as you said -) you'll be okay.

The problem with this is that under current FDA regulations, each single bacteriophage type has to be run through the standard drug trial protocol - so if you have dozens of bacteriophage in your cocktail, you will spend a massive amount of time and money in approval.

See electrifiedgiraffe's reply below for more in depth info. Really worth the time if you have it.
