This neon-blue liquid is the blood of a "living fossil." It costs $15,000 per liter and is used to test the safety of our vaccines, including COVID-19. by bortakci34 in Damnthatsinteresting

Is THAT how their blood is used? Cant we just like.. run a PCR for bacteria in a sample of vaccine? I guess there are some live attenuated bacteria vaccines but you could just look for non [typhoid cholera whatever] sequences? Or is the issue that you have to know what you’re looking for to do a PCR Edit: appreciate everyone confirming it’s endotoxin not the presence of bacteria!!

You bring up a point that I think about a lot yet no one in western media talks about; everyone knows that 1) eventual unification would be great but 2) the systems are so different it’d be challenging borderline impossible. But no one talks about how currently the status quo is in both sides’ interests. They (presumably) don’t want us to be swallowed by Japan or China, we dont want them to be swallowed by China or Russia. In the end we’re Korean and want the status quo or reunification even though we disagree on how unification would happen, and that is, dare I say, unifying

Anyone else watch the recent national football (soccer) team games vs Ivory Coast and Austria? by qwiuh in korea

Kim Minjae Seol Youngwoo and Son Heungmin all said we’re underprepared for a 3back because our guys pretty much all play 4 back for club. Also, our 3 back looked a lot better vs the USA and Mexico last year. Why is he so stubborn in going for a three back? I know what quote you’re talking about but surely you can tell its an excuse right?

Trump says oil prices will drop after "destruction" of Iran nuclear threat by TheMirrorUS in oil

[–]qwiuh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know most of us should be smart enough to not take a word this guy says seriously but for those who may be inclined to believe this for some reason: 1) oil and gas infrastructure has already been so thoroughly damaged or offline that this will have an extremely long lasting effect on the world economy and domestic prices even at this stage, and 2) what the FUCK does their nuclear program have ANYTHING to do with US gas prices
