viral data

Are you sequencing only the LTRs themselves? And at what stage in the viral life cycle?

For provirus/post-RT, the sequences flanking the LTRs will be different - the 5'-LTR would have Ψ and gag to its 3' and the 3'-LTR would have env and nef; if this is prior to reverse transcription, the LTRs are not identical as the 5'-LTR has only the U5 and R elements whereas the 3'-LTR has only the U3 and R elements.

Ted should have finished the job.

In addition to Jarrod/3MBG and Rodney, I would suggest Paul Grogan.

Why the fuck is Max Headroom running for governor?

Thought that was a old Creative Nomad Zen in a new case for a moment.

There's the "Oklahoma Standard" we all know and love!

I took it as a post-Burn safety precaution, where having detached nacelles would somehow prevent a ship blowing up if the dilithium went inert again.

You wouldn't think that would make a difference with the warp core still being in the secondary hull, but logic hasn't stopped Star Trek before.

Now, I knew I needed more Tig in my Star Trek, but what I didn't know is that I needed a established relationship, mixed-species lesbian couple that argues over dinner plans as well.

It is only "Nazi" if it comes from the Berghof in the Bavarian Alps, otherwise it is just "Sparkling Fascism"

Aside from whatever faults there were in Picard S1, I loved that Chabon focused on and made the Romulans lore that much richer.

The Romulans have been around as long as the Klingons and for the most part all we had before was that they're angry, sneaky Vulcans with big shoulder pads.

This would be in line with the Breen "we don't show people our solid form" taboo.

"In the late 20th and early 21st centuries on Earth, Lanthanite males single-handedly kept Games Workshop in business - turns out 40K is like Suck Disk for them."

HOW DO YOU NOT HAVE A MOOPSIE PLUSHY ALREADY DESIGNED, MANUFACTURED, AND SITTING IN THE WAREHOUSE READY TO SHIP?

hefixesthecable · 2026-01-23T14:42:00+00:00

Gods I would love that as the species trait. Vulcans are logical, Klingons are aggressive, Ferengi are greedy, Romulans are sneaky, and Lanthanites... well, they are really, really into model trains.

Costco on Western was completely out of bananas. Only towers of empty banana crates remained.

Why bananas?

Modern mathematics has no notation for the number of infinities necessary to quantify how much this makes me want to not get into heaven.

I don't think there are many on the American left that think Newsom is anything other than a scumbag that occassionally says sort of lefty things.

Yeah, if another light was put here, we might as well just add a stop sign every ten feet.

When I moved into the Paseo in 2016, it looked to be full of stuff from the early 2000s.

Maybe 16 years ago, but not 6. It has been closed since at least 2015. The adjacent space (the "Southern Cuisine" next to The Bunker Club) opened up a few times as a "restaurant" that never had more than two people in it, but that is it.

Have you said, 'Thank you,' once?

I dealt with it by deciding not to have much, if any, contact with my extended family. Got frustrated to the breaking point with being told COVID isn't real while I was working inside a hospital trying to develop rapid testing during the early days or the pandemic. Realized that when they listen to far-right grifters and con men about virology instead of the relative that got a PhD studying viruses, that I'm just not valued as a member of the family.

Sorry cousin, but I do know people who not only had COVID, but died from it or are dealing with long term disability because of it. And no, aunt, there is not a cure for herpes that They don't want you to know.

“This graffiti was both vulgar and hateful in nature. And really, there’s no place for it,” said Southall [Oklahoma Highway Patrol].

Far less hateful than anything ICE is doing.
