“They’re basically adults”

The OG drug for that began life being tested (but performing poorly) for treating hypertension and angina but displayed a notable side effect. Sort of a “digging for water and striking oil” situation.

Sectionalism, isn’t that what JD Vance was up to?

The T was actually short for Tal Rasha. Kissinger’s soul shard was plunged into his body and he now fights eternally to prevent his escape.

As far as soup noodles, I prefer Maruchan or Shin noodles. If other noodle styles are on the table, IndoMie Mi Goreng is a delicious comfort food. I sometimes throw a can of tuna (spend the extra 50 cents to get it in olive oil) on top if I need to make it a meal.

I had great success the other day with rice, red lentils, mirepoix, and garlic cooked with vegetable broth instead of water. I second “most anything can be cooked in a rice cooker”

Yim and, dare I say, yum

The benefits of a rice cooker cannot be overstated

Hot fresh rice, tuna in olive oil, soy sauce to taste

Miso soup with a scoop of 3-4 day old rice in it

The gate unentered, the threshold uncrossed, the bloody Mississippi

Prophylactic use of antibiotics is still use of antibiotics, even if it’s being used for stimulation of toll like receptors. The bacteria don’t care if you’re trying to kill them or not. Benign organisms can still develop resistance to an agent and pass it off to hostile ones.

Now, resistance to this particular agent is not uncommon, so it’s not catastrophically harmful to use it for that purpose. Other antibiotics see use for purposes other than killing or suppressing the growth of bacteria as well (erythromycin for gastric motility, for example). I’m curious about the actual degree of benefit this measure confers in a human sample population, and am generally not a fan of putting petrolatum-based products where I can inhale them as I’m paranoid about accidentally giving myself lipoid pneumonia.

The authors share your concerns

Our results demonstrate a surprising and broad antiviral effect of the aminoglycoside family of antibiotics, when applied to mucosal surfaces. However, we do not advocate for use of these compounds as antivirals, as aminoglycoside application is expected to cause local dysbiosis of commensal bacterial community.

Let us consider that every ton of food sent as humanitarian aid by Russia is a ton of food not purchased from the US. Every ton of food not purchased from the US is x dollars that did not have to be either borrowed (with conditions including economic restructuring) or earned by selling goods and industries at pennies on the dollar to Western consumers. It does not solve the issue of developing productive forces in the target nations, but its impact is more anti-imperial than it might initially appear.

Changing material conditions to foster the development of a proletarian class is a solid theory of how to build working class power and consciousness. You might deride it as just infrastructure, but the workers who maintain and transport goods on that infrastructure (as well as the people who provide goods and services to those workers, and so on and so forth) now have more economic power and ability to organize in solidarity with each other than subsistence farmers would have against their landlords. And before anyone can build, say, a tractor factory, there must first be adequate infrastructure to supply said factory and take its finished goods to internal as well as potentially foreign markets.

Literally thought about myself as “relentlessly perceived” this very morning

Castle of the Winds is tons of fun, I remember getting part one on an old demo disc and replaying it constantly when I was a kid. Not the most complex or detailed game of its kind, but the sprite work is still fresh in my mind an embarrassing number of years later

South Korea’s government argues that the new scheme allows for greater flexibility

Flexibility for who, motherfucker?!

Great news on that front, actually
