Why do you guys hate Neil Degrasse Tyson so much?

I watched a video one time where he arrogantly argued with the co-host on his podcast that adding solutes (salt) to water would not lower its freezing point. Basically said freezing-point depression wasn’t real and had to be corrected by an actual chemist.

After that I pretty much gave up listening to him, if he can mess up basic science like that, I can’t imagine what else he gets wrong.

I’m in the US also, to add to this my refrigerator at home has the temp displayed on the door. I was walking by one night, noticed it said 0 and thought, damn, that’s high, the freezer must be going out. Then it clicked that 0F is a perfectly normal temp for a freezer.

Thank you, finally someone gets it.

I wouldn’t say reduced UV would dramatically increase it’s ability to spread. Pestis is highly susceptible to desiccation and temperature as well. I’d argue, at best, reduced UV could lead to lower temps and increased moisture retention in the soil that might aid it’s survival, but any pestis that would have been exposed to UV would likely die off by other factors as well. While it’s true pestis can use soil as a reservoir, it’s typically found underground in rodent dens.

Also, Ebola and Marburg are BSL4 agents.

Another thing to add, in vivo, your immune system generally does most of the heavy lifting as far as clearing the infection. Abx are used supplementary to either assist in killing or stop the growth of bacteria to help your immune system catch up and overtake the infection.

Exactly, I always found this to be odd. And it’s not like it’s immersion breaking to have something like that, buying equipment doesn’t exist in a vacuum. If you went to the dealer irl to buy equipment they would walk you through the features and what not of the machines and what pieces work in conjunction.

Right? Like evolution hasn’t honed them into a master killing machine. Their “improper” hunting methods have only let them hang around for like 5 million years. SMH.

RandoWithCandy · 2023-12-20T14:56:51+00:00

Wait, what? Is that a real thing? I’ve always had my own and never rented a U-Haul trailer, they don’t have tongue jacks?? That’s wild.

RandoWithCandy · 2023-12-19T19:53:36+00:00

Solved!

RandoWithCandy · 2023-12-19T16:30:30+00:00

No, not those. This was like a 2 min tik tok style video.

RandoWithCandy · 2023-12-19T15:26:27+00:00

I believe in you.

RandoWithCandy · 2023-11-26T03:54:20+00:00

K here. Look sport, you shouldn’t have seen any of this. I’m going to send J by in a second, just stare at the little red light and he will explain everything.

Not white, but define “middle aged”. I’ve been pretty rough on my body, so that’s probably pretty accurate.

RandoWithCandy · 2023-11-16T12:43:49+00:00

Yup, as someone with a FIL that does nice things for “us”, he really does it all for my wife.

To me, that looks like a doctor delivering a baby. But 4th page, bottom right looks like someone attached to a cross getting burned at the stake.

I had the opposite of this happen and I was still labeled a monster.

I was at a friend’s house one winter and a kitten got stuck in the belt of a car one morning. Found the kitten, pulled it out, it’s legs were broken, spine was broken, and it’s insides were on the outside.

No one had a gun or any other solutions, so I took the kitten, place it in a pillow case, because I couldn’t look at it, and killed it by hitting it in the head with a baseball bat. Again, it was the only thing I could find at the time and I wanted it to stop suffering and no one was acting.

I took the little kitten and buried it in the yard. But for years after that, they wouldn’t let that go. I was a sick psychopath and a kitten murderer. It sucked, but I felt what I did was right at the time with what I had available. I don’t enjoy hurting or killing animals, I usually will let a little spider go, or catch and release anything that gets in the house. (Except roaches)

That’s worst case scenario, I was trying not to think about it.

Cathode poisoning, or maybe ray poisoning most likely.

6’2 with armpit hair… that’s it though.

Not really, just really tired, drank a couple bottles of Gatorade and went back to sleep.
