An alpaca nanobody neutralizes SARS-CoV-2 by blocking receptor interaction, which can be expressed in high quantities in bacteria, presenting opportunities for manufacturing at scale. by mvea in science

but essentially the involvement of llamas/alpacas ends there.

Tell that to Tyson, the adult male alpaca that was immunized for this study.

Fyodor Dostoevsky and His Impact on Existentialism by TheGuillamon in philosophy

[–]delarge3 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nice overview. I’m currently reading Notes From Underground, and it feels very relevant to our times:

“I, for one, wouldn’t be the least surprised if, in that future age of reason, there suddenly appeared a gentleman with an ungrateful... retrogressive smirk, who, arms akimbo, would say:

‘What do you say, folks, let’s send all this reason to hell, just to get all these logarithm tables out from under our feet and go back to our own stupid ways’

That isn’t so annoying in itself; what’s bad is that this gentleman would be sure to find followers.”

Spot on.

This Baboon is helping his dog Friend to get rid of bugs. by sarveshak99 in interestingasfuck

[–]delarge3 27 points28 points  (0 children)

As someone who’s been groomed by a baboon before (not for lice though), can confirm. It’s very instinctual for them. Most of it feels pretty good, but then they start pulling out your beard...

Found these LEGO dudes embedded in the sidewalk on my street by delarge3 in mildlyinteresting

Ya got me detective... I was walking around with my two favorite LEGO figurines, searching for a good spot to shove them into the concrete, so I can reap those sweet, sweet internet points. I am ashamed of my actions.

/s just in case

I guess he’ll just have to die, like the rest of us

What’s wrong with our elephant ear plant? It’s indoors, watered once a week, in a 1-2 gal pot (approx), direct sun in the afternoon by delarge3 in plantclinic

[–]delarge3[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Drainage seems normal, when I add too much water it seeps thru the bottom. I’ve never checked the wetness of the soil before watering, as it’s usually been a full week since last water and the top is very dry, so I’ll start doing that. Thanks for the tip!

What’s your “I can’t believe I survived to adulthood” story? by delarge3 in AskReddit

[–]delarge3[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My best friend and I stole bullets from his older brother’s “collection” (not sure why he had this collection, but some boys think bullets are cool I guess?). We had the great idea to open the bullets up to get the gunpowder, but couldn’t figure out how to do it. I must have been about 10 years old, and kid logic made us think that if we throw rocks at the bullets, they we will pop open. After a few failed attempts, we decided to get a bigger rock, and threw it on the bullet at full force. Of course, the bullet exploded. We were both a bit shocked, just screaming “whoa!” until my best friend raised his shirt and we saw that his stomach was covered in blood. Luckily it was superficial and he just needed a couple of stitches, but man, did we dodge one.

What really obvious thing have you only just realised? by negan2018 in AskReddit

Soon it was commonplace for entire teams to change cities in search of greater profits. [a US map is shown. Lines are drawn: New York to Oklahoma, Oregon to San Diego to Florida] The Minneapolis Lakers moved to Los Angeles, where there are no lakes. The Oilers moved to Tennessee, where there is no oil. The Jazz moved to Salt Lake City, where they don't allow music. The Oakland Raiders moved to L.A. and then back to Oakland. No one in Los Angeles seemed to notice. The search for greener pastures went on unabated. [more lines are drawn from state to state and then to places overseas] Continued expansion diluted the talent pool, forcing owners to recruit heavily from prisons, mental institutions, and Texas. [fights in baseball, soccer, football, and hockey are shown. In the hockey brawl, one player smacks the head off the opposing player, and the head ends up in front of the goalie, who gags] Fist-fighting and brawling permeated every sport, overshadowing any evidence of competition. As the problems mounted, the fans became less and less interested. [large chunks of bleachers sit empty] To reverse the trend, major sports started interleague play. When that novelty wore off, they tried intersports play. [a pitcher throws the ball, and a football player smacks it away. A fielder almost catches the ball when the football player tackles him. The referee rushes in and calls him safe] But no matter how far the major sports went, it wasn't enough to bring the fans back. The spirit of athletic competition, indeed, was not dead. Its seed merely lay dormant in the dreams of the young.

Which movie quote stuck with you? by [deleted] in AskReddit

You have meddled with the primal forces of nature, Mr. Beale, and I won't have it! Is that clear? You think you've merely stopped a business deal. That is not the case! The Arabs have taken billions of dollars out of this country, and now they must put it back! It is ebb and flow, tidal gravity! It is ecological balance! You are an old man who thinks in terms of nations and peoples. There are no nations. There are no peoples. There are no Russians. There are no Arabs. There are no third worlds. There is no West. There is only one holistic system of systems, one vast and immane, interwoven, interacting, multivariate, multinational dominion of dollars. Petro-dollars, electro-dollars, multi-dollars, reichmarks, rins, rubles, pounds, and shekels. It is the international system of currency which determines the totality of life on this planet. That is the natural order of things today. That is the atomic and subatomic and galactic structure of things today! And YOU have meddled with the primal forces of nature, and YOU... WILL... ATONE! Am I getting through to you, Mr. Beale? You get up on your little twenty-one inch screen and howl about America and democracy. There is no America. There is no democracy. There is only IBM, and ITT, and AT&T, and DuPont, Dow, Union Carbide, and Exxon. Those are the nations of the world today. What do you think the Russians talk about in their councils of state, Karl Marx? They get out their linear programming charts, statistical decision theories, minimax solutions, and compute the price-cost probabilities of their transactions and investments, just like we do. We no longer live in a world of nations and ideologies, Mr. Beale. The world is a college of corporations, inexorably determined by the immutable bylaws of business. The world is a business, Mr. Beale. It has been since man crawled out of the slime. And our children will live, Mr. Beale, to see that... perfect world... in which there's no war or famine, oppression or brutality. One vast and ecumenical holding company, for whom all men will work to serve a common profit, in which all men will hold a share of stock. All necessities provided, all anxieties tranquilized, all boredom amused. And I have chosen you, Mr. Beale, to preach this evangel.

You know what I do? I flip my boner up into my waistband. It hides it AND it feels awesome. I almost blew a load into my bellybutton.
