Tangental: your comment made me curious where, in global terms, hurricanes are even able to form. Surprisingly (to me), a lot of areas.

In what way, exactly, does ignoring people with shit takes hurt them? Butthurt? That’s a chance I’m willing to take.

Do they not have to pay for the privilege? Or is this not referring to academic publishing? (It’s not super clear, but context indicates academic?)

Unless this one works differently than the one I read about a month or so ago, which isn’t at all clear from this article, no, probably not something we can get as kids.

The reason is that, at least at the moment, you need a sample of the cancer itself and protein markers for each individual, and each cancer type, so it’s a vaccine that you get only after you get the cancer. Plus it’s multiple doses over the course of several weeks.

They also aren’t sure if the cancer will come back after being eradicated, so for now they have no idea how effective it will be, nor how long it’ll last.

But this is a technology very much in its infancy. The first trial ever was earlier this year, so… who knows where it’ll go from there. Maybe they will be able to isolate enough common markers for enough cancers to have a childhood vax for prevention. Almost certainly a long ways off tho.

Go home. You aren’t fooling anyone.

Yeah I just bet someone whining about not getting enough of a tax break runs a co-op.

Bullshit. Go home. You aren’t fooling anyone.

I’m gunna wager you’re a lying sack of shit and aren’t a communist at all. See, only one of us can be right, and it isn’t you :)

If you are a commie, prove it. Nothing you’ve said so far (and I’m not going to dig through your post history; I have standards.) leads a person to believe you.. so make me believe you.

Fucking lol, yeah right homie, I’m unconvinced and all my comrades will be similarly.

I’m an actual anarcho-communist, and nothing you’ve said makes me think you have even the slightest idea what communism even is.

I’d like to see people making 50k and under pay 0 in tax, but still get tax breaks in the form of refunds, and have those who make 400k+ and businesses make up the entirety of the lack. (Assuming we can’t do UBI for whatever conservative bullshit reason)

It’s much easier to do that way than the way we are doing it now with taking from people who have next to nothing to spare..

You, umm.. might wanna think about not talking while us vast-majority-of-the-working-class are discussing how we are going to eat the rich.. just a thought. I know people in your tax bracket, and they are all wildly out of touch with society, just like you appear to be. The most I can make in my area, degreed and with skills and all, is 40k, literally 10x lower than what you make. And you have the absolute audacity to complain.

So.. like… Nobody cares about your “struggle”. At all. Literally nobody ever. You are part of the problem as far as most people are concerned. And you probably actually are part of the problem to be whining like this, anyway.

We also need smaller houses damnit! Or more duplexes of reasonable size. We need more 2-4 family properties.

Not tiny houses, not 300sqft nonsense buildings that cost more to have as standalone units..

We need more 1-2 bedroom starter options, and fewer of the 4-6 bedroom micromansions that everyone builds because it’s more worth the money from a development side. Nobody can afford those things as first time buyers.

And while we are at it, we need more apartments that can be purchased like condos or houses. Rent is all well and good for short term, but people should have long term ownership options even in big cities if they will be there for a while. It’s absurd your choices are basically rent and be at the whim of your landlord, or buy a standalone.

There’s next to none in all water, when measured by volume.

But things concentrate, so the 0.00005% adds up over time.
