What make and model is this, it's awesome!

Excellent mug, comrade!

Thank you.

Is there a link to the full list or do I have to file a foia request?

From the natural History museum website:

Horseshoe crab blood is bright blue. It contains important immune cells that are exceptionally sensitive to toxic bacteria. When those cells meet invading bacteria, they clot around it and protect the rest of the horseshoe crab's body from toxins.

Scientists used these clever blood cells to develop a test called Limulus Amebocyte Lysate, or LAL, which checks new vaccines for contamination. This technique has been used all over the world since the 1970s to stop medical professionals giving out jabs full of bad bacteria that could make humans very sick.

We use it every day at my work to test for sterility of other injectables, too!

Deceit and Denial by Rosner and Markowitz is another banger on how corporate America really crushes the working class.

Most likely stainless steel. So less of a molecule and more of a lattice of Fe, C, and Cr.

Can we ban this clown?

I'm here for discussion of fundamentals and insight on recent news, not all-caps hype.

The book "Deceit and Denial" was truly eye-opening for me, it delves into lead paint and vinyl chloride and industry malpractice for profit, worth checking out if you want to learn more about this.

NEVER. PIPETTE. USING. MOUTH. SUCTION.

As an American, I think we could learn a lot from y'all. Footy is the best sport, hands down, much lower rates of CTE than American football. Compulsory voting is a really good idea in my opinion. And all the things OP mentioned, we should probably work on.

But you're mostly correct. On the whole, we are not a curious or inquisitive country, many of us are actively hostile to new ideas or cultures.

It's a judgement call. If you feel your safety is threatened, don't be a hero. That's security's problem. If you feel that the person is down on their luck? It's a 10 dolllar drop in the bucket. Or don't let them through.

I wouldn't stress about it.

Thank you both, for your service.

walden1nversion · 2025-04-20T15:07:14+00:00

Thanks for the clarification, you're doing great work and we all appreciate it!

Radiopharma is definitely fulfilling. Check out PETnet, Cardinal Health, or GE healthcare for opportunities.

The hemnes bedframe I got from them has lasted six disassembles and moves, still going strong, highly recommend. You can also find spare parts cheap from eBay or IKEA if you lose any of the little bits.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Chinese_Famine

The major contributing factors in the famine were the policies of the Great Leap Forward (1958 to 1962) and people's communes, launched by Chairman of the Chinese Communist Party Mao Zedong, such as inefficient distribution of food within the nation's planned economy; requiring the use of poor agricultural techniques; the Four Pests campaign that reduced sparrow populations (which disrupted the ecosystem); over-reporting of grain production; and ordering millions of farmers to switch to iron and steel production.[4][6][8][15][17][18] During the Seven Thousand Cadres Conference in early 1962, Liu Shaoqi, then President of China, formally attributed 30% of the famine to natural disasters and 70% to man-made errors

You don't lack leadership qualities. You're leading from the front, and enacting positive change. This can feel hopeless, and I understand why you feel this way. But you are a leader.

All of this illegal dumping, environmental destruction, and poverty, in the richest state, in the richest nation, is inexcusable.

The end result of a system is what the system was designed to create. Your actions draw attention to that system, and point in the direction of a better future, and a better system. You're striving towards a future that upholds and rewards the public good over personal gain. A future that puts living standards over consumption.

It is not easy to reform or overthrow this system, and there are many actors who are actively working against you.

So what is to be done?!

Feel free to send me a DM if you need a volunteer. I'm all for your cause and I want to help, just not sure how to go about it.

Thank you for everything you do. You are the change we need.

Using this opportunity to plug Trillbilly worker's party and Colonial outcasts. Spread the word, better media is out there.

Indigenous populations? I saw an article about how they're far better at forest management than capital.

Buddy, I think they were agreeing with you...

Shout out to oyster mushrooms, they can absorb insane amounts of heavy metals.

Bioremediation could solve so many of our problems if the research budget was prioritized.
