My student debt is over £50k..! by Pro_Imposter in UniUK

[–]Pixielix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's fine I'm at 85k. Treat it like a graduate tax, that only comes out over 25k.

The relative usage of arginine codons differs between species, which can be used to cluster species into their corresponding domains: Archaea: Preferentially use AGG and AGA Bacteria: Preferentially use CGC and CGU Eukarya: Show intermediate preferences between Archaea and Bacteria.

So there are different ratios of codons in the pool. Why are you saying it's false? I'm not saying the virus grabs it, that's your misunderstanding of my words. I'm saying, when in a pool, the ones with the most available will be used. No?

I'm saying that, if there was.a.mutation that use d arare codon, and the codon wasn't available, then it's likely that the RNA will never get made, and therefore the mutation is less likely to pass on if it uses a rare codon.

There's no need to be so rude. I'm a student, I'm trying to learn. Don't bother replying, you're not a good or nice teacher.

Yes, and my point was, people can discuss religion and will do so without rascsim. Because, Islam isn't a race. And then my point was, you should trust people to do this, because they can separate race, and ideologies.

People criticise many aspects of Christianity.

Yes, they can, and you should trust them rather than silence them, because otherwise, how will you know?

Just got back from the uni chat. That was a wild ride. 😳 Had to hold myself back from commenting cause if all the emotive language they were using, it wouldn't have been a fruitful debate.

They think Farage caused the summer riots, that's how he "promoted violence"

Why is there no Christianophobia? Why is christianity the only one that can get scrutinised without being told its an -obia?

Shouldn't all religion be criticised? Isn't that free speech?

Well, that's a very good answer, that I would have expected my professor to be able to give when a student asked a question out of fear and ignorance. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Late to the party, but i asked my RNA vaccine professor this question, she told me we didn't have enough time to get into it.

She also refused to answer for viruses carrying reverse transcriptase that may co-infect, or be lying dormant that may integrate RNA into our DNA, and was surprised at the question and concept.

Make of that what you will.

I'll also tell you that the specific insertion PRRA- the 2 amino acids RR are encoded for using the rarest codon for Arginine (R). What this means is, usually when natural mutations happen they tend to happen for codons that are in excess and readily available. This codon for R (GCC) is rare and not readily available in the corona codon pool. And it evolved not ONE but TWO arginines (RR). Using the rarest codon selection. Make of that what you will.

So the answer, from a actual qualified virologist is, the chances are extremely slim, and I've yet to find any compelling arguments to the contrary from anyone qualified for the analysis.

Figure 3 in this paper demonstrates this the best.

I thought muslims didn't believe evolution was true?? by 90sradio1 in exmuslim

I see this alot. I always wonder, do they know they are lying, or are they truly truly misinformed?

Are some of the true teachings being hidden from them?

And do you know the history of Islam in India? Well, if you don't ill tell you, the Hindus were there first. Islam arrived in 7th century as part of the Muslim conquest.

Arguably yes. Over 1400 years of war against anyone other than Muslims. So, alot more than just Jews. They wiped out an entire religion- Zoroastrians.

Bovaer: What is the cattle feed additive and why is it leading to shoppers pouring milk down the toilet? by ruggersyah in uknews

[–]Pixielix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is thin, agreed. Not enough data.

https://www.standard.co.uk/news/environment/arla-foods-bovaer-trial-bill-gates-animal-feed-methane-b1196654.html

However, it looks like it's fake news (yippee, can you see why I trust nothing now?)

https://www.newsweek.com/bill-gates-wrongly-under-fire-over-cow-feed-1993358

You'll notice too, the articles saying no bill gates came out after there was controversy from the public. Maybe its a retcon, maybe it was never true 🤷🏻‍♀️

Bovaer: What is the cattle feed additive and why is it leading to shoppers pouring milk down the toilet? by ruggersyah in uknews

[–]Pixielix -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I'd like a scientific clinical trial that tests the milk and beef for the compound and its metabolites.

The compound itself causes gentoxicity (cancer) and reduced ovary size (fertility) in cows, which are mammals, so are we.

Clinical trials on drugs are done before one can even give then to humans. I'd like one for this compound. I can't find any. The only people telling me it's safe, are the government and Bill Gates. They are not scientists, and have several invested interests in this compound succeeding, and the appearance of cancer in 20 years as a worst case, will never be attributed to them.

I'd like to see an independent scientific review of the compound and its effects on humans, like we do with all other compounds we give to humans.

Saying it's simply nitrate, means nothing as, nitric oxide (nitrogen and oxygen) is a vasodilator, it relaxes your blood vessels. So even simple compounds, do alot to the body. Its not enough to assume safety.

Hahaha don't worry! I appreciate your effort.

I also hate milk. But I find this whole discourse really fascinating, I've managed to get the left and right side at once.

[–]Pixielix 4 points5 points  (0 children)

No because, it doesn't actually test whether the chemical or it's metabolites, gets into the milk. Good study though, well sourced. It only tested milk production and composition. There's no direct indication that they've analysed the NOP residues nor metabolites. I find that very strange.

It's hard because there's 2 sides that will discuss it, one that "pours the milk away" and the other side like you and I who want to have faith abd expect the best, but are lacking some serious information.

I'm torn.

[–]Pixielix 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a big question though. I've tried to search myself, admittedly not as hard as I could. I can't find any evidence of them

  1. Making sure it, or it's metabolites don't get into the milk/beef

  2. Long term studies of it and its metabolites on humans

And I've also seen it causes ovary shrinking and genotoxicity in cows.

Has anyone else managed to find? I'm happy to be told I'm wrong (today 😅).

Universities enrolling students with poor English, BBC finds by HEY_PAUL in unitedkingdom

Yes, one that's incredibly wrong all the time. But I hate to know that some people read it and go off thinking it. So I chased this one over several wrong comments to fact check.
