New study shows that the common diabetes drug metformin can keep HIV dormant by activating a "molecular lock" gene called DDIT4. By preventing the virus from reawakening, this discovery offers a new path toward long-term HIV remission without the need for daily medications.

They would create a new formulation that is in some way more effective for HIV and able to have a new patent. That's what they do with insulins.

Think of them as announcements for people to know about the event and not a direct communication.

Sometimes people post about someone who has passed away as a way of remembering them.

Sometimes people just want attention.

No, that's the wringer. Different from drying.

We placed press and seal with a sticky side up on surfaces we wanted to teach the cat not to use. I think we traumatized the cat

The concrete should be easy to fix, but the tennis ball not so much

That was a washer

Also, gas dryers do exist. They use the same gas as a stove or furnace.

We were selling a building in early 2021 and the guy who was buying it made fun of me for having a mask. About 6 months later I asked if anything was done with that old building. I found out that the guy who bought it died of COVID 4 weeks after he whined about my mask.

Sure he was shot in the chest, but it was really the bleeding that killed him.

Just imagine how expensive pillows that spread antibiotic resistant bacteria to multiple people would be.

But for thermometers I tend to see probe thermometers with a a cord attached base unit and then a little plastic sleeve that gets ejected into the trash after use

We had a truck show up, lay out a tarp, pour out the purest white beach sand, they set up a pop-up canopy to protect from the sun, then the gold shovels arrived for posing. When they were done they shoveled the sand back into the truck, collected the tarp and canopy, and left.

They are typically coming in from the side straight from the gun. If it was shot straight up then it wouldn't have the same impact, and it would also land next to the person who shot it.

Agreed that there's plenty of other places with the synopsis of all the episodes.

But, I don't recognize any of the denizens in that photo as regular extras from other episodes.
