I’d fill this out, but I think my results would be a weird outlier because I do get pretty good coffee, but it comes from a dent/bent/slightly out of date discount grocery sort of place so I pay $3-4/lb rather than the $10-15/lb it would normally be.

I find it really interesting that they don’t provide an actual price, but an approximate. Is that because stuff was still tailored back then, and you’d need to have some adjustments made?
I’m a big fan of trichogramma wasps, myself.
I had a pantry moth infestation as a result of having birds (inherited from my mother - I’d never keep birds of my own choice, and I rehomed them after a few years)
Anyway, because I had birds and cats, bug bombs were out of the question, but I found trichogramma wasps. They are stingless wasps about the size of a grain of sand, 1-2 mm tops, so you can barely see them, and they lay their egg inside moth eggs (and some 100 other species of mostly pest insects, but they prefer what they hatch from which is typically moth eggs) their daughter eats the moth larva, hatches, and can immediately lay fertile eggs in more moth eggs. No males in the species due to a gut bacteria, so all wasps hatch fertile.
If anyone reading this needs this info, you can buy trichogramma wasps online, they aren’t expensive, you’ll want ~5k eggs for up to 2k sqft indoors (most sites I’ve seen this is the minimum order anyway, and back when I did it 8 years ago or so, cost me about $12/order, including shipping). They will escape through the window screens, and just die off if there aren’t enough target species’ eggs around, which is fine and not a problem. They can wipe out up to 95% of a targeted species when outdoors, but moths have a long life cycle so you need time to work through all the waves in your enclosed space. Just open the little cup inside, set it down somewhere near the kitchen or where you have the most moths, and that’s it. Repeat every 2-3 weeks until you don’t see moths anymore, which takes about 4-6 months. After that, for two more years, any time you see a moth inside, order another round and release them. This is a precautionary measure in case you still have a residual population hiding somewhere.
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.
wtf is that from?
That’s giving me big Alice in wonderland flamingo croquet mallet vibes. I’m envisioning a house covered in little birds sticking in by their beak, feet all a wigglin.
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.
Ahh, no my friend. That’s not how these things work at all.
People spend pages and pages breaking down short jokes. 5 sentences is still short. Even if the source that literally asks us to think about a complicated thing and asks a question about said complicated thing is 3 sentences shorter.

Since yesterdays Sarah Eisenlohr post was popular here's another....
I also found an article which is an interesting read
'.....Since I’m very methodical before I paste everything together, some pieces can take take a year to complete, while others fall into place in a couple of minutes....'

They lowered the safe temp limit, actually, so.. might want to try reading stuff instead of making assumptions based on the headline. :)
