@Morzignis_Zero@CDCgov It's rare for any of us to completely lack an immune system. If something has weakened your immune system (certain medications, chronic disease, poor nutrition, etc.), a germ that wouldn't usually be a problem can become one.
@Morzignis_Zero @CDCgov All bacteria carry their own genome since the genome is an organism's complete genetic information. Yes, we all carry germs (bacteria, etc.). When those germs stay where they're supposed to be and within certain population sizes, many of them don't cause problems.
@Morzignis_Zero @CDCgov I'm grateful you weren't one of my Honors Biology students, although it might have done you some good to have been in my class. I'll refrain from calling you any names even though you didn't extend the same courtesy to me.
@RoblynHatch The amount of rationalization he's done to shift the blame for the lack of thought that went into these decisions (paint has to cure quite a while before filling the pool and adding high concentration hydrogen peroxide wasn't a good idea) is staggering.
@DanielRitchie I'm thankful for the way we find our missionaries. I've known several people who had to raise (and sustain) their own funding and am glad our people don't have to do that.
@sage_stage How typical to hide in the mob and pretend to be all big and bad by yelling things like that. I'd have been really tempted to laugh out loud and make a smart remark about that very thing.
@RoblynHatch@notcapnamerica I didn't know how long it would take for the ice at the end of my driveway to melt, so I got my ice chopper out today. Most of it's cleared now, but the area in front of my mailbox is pretty thick from being driven over repeatedly. I'm hoping tomorrow's temps will do the job.
@reachjulieroys I don't think this is the great look you think it is, and, for me, it doesn't have anything to do with who they're copying. It's kind of weird and creepy for a group of adults to all wear the same outfit to go to a movie.
@RoblynHatch@RonFilipkowski Is he evil, ignorant, brainwashed, or angling for a bigger role in national politics? I'm thinking it might be any or all of the above.
@TLC Veronica's not showing emotional intelligence, and saying that she is over and over won't make it true. I think someone needs to sit down with her and teach her what it is. I mean, obviously not one of the Plath's, of course.π
@allgarbled My aunt hasn't driven since the end of February 2021, owned a car since June of the same year, nor lived in Texas (where she supposedly owes them) since that October, but she gets these texts fairly often.π
@fiddlerbrett That's true. In fact, there are several things in it that are pretty sacrilegious. It's definitely of its time (very early '70s) and is told from the perspective of a disciple, Judas, who has issues of his own.
@RpsAgainstTrump He's said a lot of really dumb things, so I guess we could predict something like this one. I'd say common sense is both rare and, apparently, not a valued trait among many politicians from all parties.
@RoblynHatch Comments about DEI hires in that press conference were what prompted me to go take my shower. You'd think they were hiring just anybody off the street and then not giving them any training.π
