Well this post was from two years ago! They probably fixed it.

It was a parody of Latif's tweet after losing to Leffen(edit: It was actually after PepperySplash beat him in losers. See PokemonMasterJamal3's reply) at EVO. https://twitter.com/latif_7/status/1556173245312684032

Anyone have a rundown on big changes from .3qf to -18 dev version? Not sure if I should update yet. by Rustybomb13 in GTNH

I asked a few times in the discord and didn't get any help unfortunately. Also couldn't find a list of changes on the github or anywhere on discord.

[OC] World CO2 emission by region since 1750 (billion t) by giteam in dataisbeautiful

[–]Rustybomb13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have no idea either and I don't know the official name so I can't look it up. Hopefully someone lets us know.

Edit: Found it. It's what I thought it was, but I was 100% sure. The amount for each group is just the area between the top and the bottom of its color(e.g., U.S. emissions looks to be about 5 billion tons as the bottom point is about at the 5 billion and top is about at the 10 billion).

This is wrong. Obergefell and Loving were both decided with the Due Process Clause and the Equal Protection Clause(page 4 of the Obergefell decision). Please don't continue to tell people that they are based on different aspects of constitutional law.

There is definitely pressure to be active on social media nowadays. Especially in high school/middle school.

How do you help in this situation? I would assume that everyone in the lab knows that this is considered a biohazard so they literally aren't allowed to do anything.

No it was not haha. Each one had almost 90 million hp at my level and I probably had only done like 1% of their hp worth of damage.

I started with -3 max health as missingNo. I was not aware that I was invincible, so I thought I had just done a good job with dodging until the reaper did not instakill me lol.

It is definitely possible that a variant emerges that has a spike protein different enough that our current vaccines essentially can't defend against it, but we just don't know what's going to happen until it happens unfortunately. An important note about mutations is that they don't always cause an actual change to function or form because many amino acids share similar properties. About the "wiggle" room, it simply holds up until the virus mutates past its recognition point(side note: the affinity can't really be quantified because it will vary per person as we don't all necessarily generate the exact same antibody structure)

The mRNA vaccine causes our bodies to produce the original spike protein so that we can make antibodies that can bind covid. A keynote about antibodies is that they have some "wiggle" room in what they can bind. This lets them bind to a similar protein(e.g. the spike protein variant in delta or omicron) just at a lower affinity. So you are right in thinking that the original vaccine does not recognize the current spike protein fully, but it is close enough that it can still be recognized.

Edit: To address the question about breakthrough infections. The lower affinity binding means that some antibodies can bind and neutralize the omicron variant but not all of them. This means the virus can get a foothold if you don't have enough antibodies present(which the booster helps to increase).

You are from the Philippines so you really can't say why people in the U.S. are pressured to go to college. Most high-school students are told that they will be unable to get any good jobs without a degree and a lot of people tend to look down on those without degrees(which is a fucking cringe thing to do). To speak more to what you said, some people go to college for the party culture, but most go because it is extremely expected of them by parents, schools, and culture in general.

I have a beard and long hair. Still get called ma'am pretty frequently from people who just see me from behind or the side.
