I wish the absolute corpse that is congress would do something

I don't know, are we sure the Tesla didn't spontaneously combust? They're known to do that. Wouldn't want a manufacturing error pinned on an innocent person...

It will take the world a while to move away from the US. It's built itself as a relatively trusted, albeit flawed, nation to all the major western powers.

It's sad to see the destruction of my country's reputation, sadder to see 50% of the population take pride in it. I'd leave if I could

 

I saw a combination of TPD and State Troopers clearing out the very obvious gambling hall on the corner of Lake Bradford and Renfroe Valley St. They had a truck and we're loading up the machines. Couldn't find anything on the news about it yet, but I'll keep an eye out. I'm surprised the police let it operate for as long as they did.

Unrelated but I also saw a city bus had rear ended someone in front of the J. Edwin Larson Building on E. Gaines. No one was hurt, kinda funny

I didn't say it was magic. Part of the issue is we don't know what modifications he made in making his artificial version. I won't pretend like there aren't a lot of unknowns there. It could alter the effectiveness in numerous ways.

Having a heterozygous deletion is still effecting the right gene. Without knowing both of her parents genetics it's hard to say if it was natural. What he did could produce either a heterozygous or homozygous result on the gene, but only the homozygous presentation is effective at prevention.

So 1 was a full success and the other showed activation on the appropriate gene, but not enough to confer resistance. Although it is possible it does since he used an artificial gene. We know the natural one is not effective in a heterozygous presentation. I still think that was his greatest mistake. He should have just used the naturally effective gene.

You do make a good point with the full backing rigor of the scientific method this procedure would always be successful.

So far I'm liking lemmy more because there is a lot less per post. I find I'm enjoying each thread more fully. It's like I'm not endless scrolling because I can't. I've actually read more articles in the day since I've joined than in my last 3 months on reddit.

Per the wikipedia page it states that it is not clear if it effective because they're not going to intentionally infect the children to test it. But we see the results specifically on the targeted gene. That's a success and demonstrates the technology works.

I'd argue the folly was inserting an artificial gene as opposed to the natural gene that we already know works. Either way the technology showed expression on the correct gene, that is a success.

We'd be having a better discourse on this if his results weren't banned from every journal and not studied.

By all accounts what he did worked. The potential to end HIV is huge. The amount of human suffering that could be reduced by rolling out what he did is very real.

The technology is here. It's better to strictly manage it for the public good than to lock it away.

Frankly I would need to gather several experts and have access to all relevant data to even begin.

However, bringing in the world's 9th largest economy would have it's benefits. If joined it would be the 4th largest economy in the EU.

I believe that would provide great benefit.

The only thing you've mentioned that I have a suggestion on how to handle would be smuggling. Simply when leaving Canada to fly into the EU they go through standard security. Your already not allowed to fly with prohibited substances. If you're really worried when first arriving in Europe they can go through customs and then be allowed free travel. Although the existing land borders in Europe are much harder to control. Canada being an ocean away can be controlled much easier. Even if it's land borders are larger.

I'm sure these things could be addressed while still maintaining the economic benefits of bringing Canada into the EU.

I doubt the European Georgia is the one producing pecans. I can only speak for the state of Georgia, but pecans are a huge industry there. So I'd be willing to bet product of georgia = USA

 

Does anyone know of any bluesky accounts that feature tallahassee news and communities?

I did a general search, but didn't find much.

Also any other alternative social media options for tallahassee would be cool if you know any.

 

What is your unconventional prep. Something that you think is uncommon or weird, but will always keep extras of?

Personally I've been really big on keeping canned pumpkin on hand. While it's not the most nutrient dense food around it has the most fiber out of any canned item I can find and adds a new taste to everything. Goes great in mashed potatoes and soup.

 

Hi everyone this is just a simple welcome post. The community rules are simple, keep it related to Tallahassee and be nice.

So far there are no plans for the community, but suggestions are welcome. I hope to run this page in an open door and welcoming manner.
