Ain’t no way I’m grabbing a bug while it’s still moving. My wife and I are both huge sissies with bugs. Standard protocol here is spray it with Raid until we are sure it’s dead, then wait an hour before moving it to the trash.

I know, we suck.

I mean, it’s a spray for lots of things, roach being one of them. (Ant/wasp/roach spray)
I had it on hand for ants.

Title cut off, I’m in Michigan and have no history of roaches. Never even seen one before.

2. Castlevania
3. Harley Quinn

10. The Dragon Prince
11. Invader Zim
12. The Venture Bros

I’d add on that the expectation in an individualist society like the US is to become independent and move out. Those ideas are used synonymously in a lot of contexts. Someone who hasn’t moved out can be seen as lacking independence. Of course that isn’t necessarily true, but it’s the perception.

For a young person growing up with these ideas as the standard, there can be a certain safety in forgoing that independence. That was my situation for years, where I was financially independent, but moved back home after my roommates moved away. I was in my mid twenties before I moved out for good.

Sort of? Playing tabletop role-playing games is my go to, but that is either at a friend’s house or my house.

Just because I’m sure you don’t hear it enough, you’re doing a good thing here. I hope someday the community here on Lemmy grows enough for more people to appreciate what you’ve built.

I’m glad we’re getting another episode of C3 this week! It’s felt really difficult to stay connected with how far apart they’ve been lately. 2 weeks between this and the last episode, and another 2 weeks before the episode before that. Hopefully now that the holidays are firmly behind us, the programming schedule will normalize a bit.

They would if they think he’ll win.

It’s probably worth mentioning we recognize certain types of people as part of the LGBTQ+ umbrella who were not before. Asexual people, for example.

• Enter The Matrix [Ties Into The Matrix Resurrections]

• Avatar: Frontiers Of Pandora [Co-Exists With The Avatar Movies]

• Ghostbusters: The Video Game [Acts As A Sequel To Ghostbusters II]

• Marvel’s Spider-Man (2018) [Exists In The Spider-Verse]

• The Thing [Takes The Mystery Out Of The Movie’s Ending]

• Saw: The Video Game [Saw’s Creators Contributed To The Game]

• Mad Max [Introduced Furiosa’s Main Villain]

• The Lord Of The Rings Online [Expands The World Of Middle-Earth]

• Star Wars Jedi: Survivor [Part Of The Star Wars Timeline]

• Kingdom Hearts 3 [The Toy Story world is meant to take place before Toy Story 3 in the canon timeline of the movies.]

Some of these are a stretch, imo

Is it still considered cannibalism if a sentient race eats another sentient race of a different species?

I have the arranged in the order I use them most. Spoons are on the left, then forks, then knives. I rarely need knives while eating, just for cooking.

Implying they ever did?

From the article, not in OP’s summary:

In 2007, the FDA published guidance on regulatory limits for DNA vaccines in the Guidance for Industry: Considerations for Plasmid DNA Vaccines for Infectious Disease Indications (Guidance for Industry). In this Guidance for Industry, the FDA outlines important considerations for vaccines that use novel methods of delivery regarding DNA integration, specifically:

• DNA integration could theoretically impact a human’s oncogenes – the genes which can transform a healthy cell into a cancerous cell.

• DNA integration may result in chromosomal instability.

• The Guidance for Industry discusses biodistribution of DNA vaccines and how such integration could affect unintended parts of the body including blood, heart, brain, liver, kidney, bone marrow, ovaries/testes, lung, draining lymph nodes, spleen, the site of administration and subcutis at injection site.

On December 14, 2023, the FDA provided a written response providing no evidence that DNA integration assessments have been conducted to address risks outlined by the FDA themselves in 2007. Based on the FDA’s recognition of unique risks posed by DNA integration, the efficacy of the COVID-19 mRNA vaccine’s lipid nanoparticle delivery system, and the presence of DNA fragments in these vaccines, it is essential to human health to assess the risks of contaminant DNA integration into human DNA. The FDA has provided no evidence that these risks have been assessed to ensure safety. As such, Florida State Surgeon General Dr. Joseph A. Ladapo has released the following statement:

“The FDA’s response does not provide data or evidence that the DNA integration assessments they recommended themselves have been performed. Instead, they pointed to genotoxicity studies – which are inadequate assessments for DNA integration risk. In addition, they obfuscated the difference between the SV40 promoter/enhancer and SV40 proteins, two elements that are distinct.

DNA integration poses a unique and elevated risk to human health and to the integrity of the human genome, including the risk that DNA integrated into sperm or egg gametes could be passed onto offspring of mRNA COVID-19 vaccine recipients. If the risks of DNA integration have not been assessed for mRNA COVID-19 vaccines, these vaccines are not appropriate for use in human beings.

Providers concerned about patient health risks associated with COVID-19 should prioritize patient access to non-mRNA COVID-19 vaccines and treatment. It is my hope that, in regard to COVID-19, the FDA will one day seriously consider its regulatory responsibility to protect human health, including the integrity of the human genome.”

I did not consider a 6200F heavy metal to be a hot drink.

I dont know how much energy you’d get per hour from a hot mug though. I’m much more intrigued by a blanket that would keep you safe in the arctic as well as the Sahara.

Reading the parahumans story, “Worm”, has changed how I look at people. It is my personal-favorite character study. There are dozens of characters who all have unique world views to explore.

Swinging between feeling like you’re a computer god, and then feeling like you’re horrible at your job.
