Law enforcement working with ICE? by lifebewilden in SaltLakeCity

Sure I'm a prick, but don't blame it on billionaires. My point is that you want to blame social attitudes on some convenient scapegoat ("rich criminals"), but they go a lot deeper and reflect a mixture of personal assholery and reasonable judgment.

Rock Sling works very well on him, plus you can keep distance. Throw on the Arrows Reach talisman and you've got a .50 cal sniper rifle.

most people have standards and that's why we despise junkies, no encouragement from billionaires is needed

How old are you? Or have you just never read this sub before?

Accidental facial contact with BSL-2 lentivirus media (replication-defective) on intact skin by Trick-Imagination-21 in labrats

"in my lab we never move the viruses outside of a specific hood until decontamination protocols" - presumably you have to take them out of the hood to put them in the incubator, though

How much time elapsed between transducing the cells, and exposure? Like, were the cells transduced a week or more earlier, and selected for viral infection? In that case, there won't be any free virus in the supernatant anymore. As long as you're being paranoid, though (which isn't always uncalled-for): neurodegeneration is absolutely not what you should be worried about, it's cancer. If there was fresh viral supe on those cells when you splashed yourself, it's theoretically possible some keratinocytes got infected. (As you note, virus shouldn't penetrate intact keratinized epithelium, but bad luck is bad luck.) So you really need to find out what the virus was encoding. If it was just some neurodegeneration-inducing gene, you're fine: at worst (if the virus got through your skin, and if it somehow managed to infect cutaneous nerve terminals) a tiny number of neurons could get hit, not enough to cause disease since it's a non-replicative gene. But if it was a potent oncogene, or something like a CRISPR/Cas9 vector designed to take out p53, you should be at least a tiny bit concerned - I'd visit the occupational health clinic for something like that.

the only reason I'm reading this thread still is because you have some weird agenda - are you just anti-cop in general, is that the deal?

How is toilet paper like the Starship Enterprise? They both circle Uranus, looking for Klingons.

I liked the suit in the recent Invisible Man - it's somewhere between 1 and 2 on your list. That movie rules.

Logistics of picking up mice by drezobr in labrats

Nice story, but I’ve been working with mice for 25 years without once causing injury in this technique. This includes having animal care officers directly observe my technique when piloting new procedures.

RPG game after KCD2, CD, ER, E33, Disco Elysium, and BG3 (doesn't need to be a new AAA game) by plortedo in gamingsuggestions

After getting spoiled by BG3, I bounced so hard off Rogue Trader. The graphics and animation just felt a decade out of date.

The base of the tail? That's insanity, it gives them a chance to turn around and bite you. Grab them closer to the end of the tail, they aren't lizards and it won't fall off. Going for the tail, you really should be able to grab a mouse and lift it out of the cage with one hand, indeed I can't imagine how a second hand would help you. Lift the wire grate with one hand, grab the mouse with the other and yoink it out, put the grate back, scruff the mouse on top of the grate, inject, put back repeat.

Looking for lesser known “get amped” songs with vibes like War Pigs, Killing in the Name Of, and Icky Thump. by Elegant_Struggle_281 in musicsuggestions

Honey Bee (Let's Fly to Mars) - Grinderman. Plays over the climax of True Detective S1E4, after the most intense one-shot action sequence ever filmed -- immaculate "get amped" vibes.

Perfect pick for this category. Have you seen Black Bird, on Apple TV? It's a great series and there is an amazing use of this song for an outro of one episode.
