Other raw milk drinkers, such as Peg Coleman, a medical microbiologist who runs Coleman Scientific Consulting, a Groton, N.Y.-based food safety consulting company, claimed the government’s warnings have no basis in reality.

How did this person get a degree?

Not sure what your point here is, but the first people to undergo risky experimental treatments like that are people already close to death. The fact that they died doesn’t necessarily mean the experiment was bad.

Slayman, who had end-stage kidney disease, underwent the transplant in March at Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston at age 62.

The hospital said in a statement on Saturday that there was "no indication" that his death was the result of the transplant. The transplant surgeon had said he hoped the transplant would function for at least two years.

And the second story is completely different. Heart transplants and gene therapy are completely different things.

As part of a trial run by Cambridge University, Opal received an infusion of a working copy of the OTOF gene in her right ear. The surgical procedure took only 16 minutes and was carried out just before she reached her first birthday.

Opal has tolerated the procedure and the gene therapy itself well, and she's experienced no adverse effects following the treatments

The barbecue is pretty good too.

The fact that he hates one of the best state flags because it has a singular “C” on it (never mind its clear visibility and simple geometric design) means I can’t take his opinions on flags seriously.

And he hates on South Carolina’s flag for no good reason.

Both of those got ranked under North Carolina, which has a big “NC”, two dates on it, and is otherwise just the same as the Texas flag.

They had many decent (non meme) proposals. Even the proposal this is based on wasn’t horrible, although it wasn’t the best. But then they decided to remove the tricolor and just make it a completely plain background. Why?

Supposedly not dead.

Private Division will continue to update Kerbal Space Program 2, Take-Two said in a statement.

No idea who would be developing it. Presumably a team that has other stuff on their plate, or else why would they shut down the team dedicated to it just to dedicate another team to it?

So basically they'll be overworking some other employees to make up for this shutdown.

Chinese scholars usually write it as CCP.

Source? Why would they use the wrong acronym for their own country's government?

Just as it has been for centuries. Race “scientists” usually divide humanity in to three overall races. “Caucusoids” and two other “-oids” based on the Mongols and the n word.

They’re definitely related, but my crippling social anxiety isn’t really about my material conditions.

Part of why it seems like it might be a ripoff is that I can find the parts (according to my completely uneducated and untrained figuring) on autozone.com for like 250 bucks.

Get a quote that tells you the separate prices for parts and labor. If the labor cost is doable, ask if you can provide your own parts.

They were larping. If they actually believed they could violently overthrow the government, they would have used those guns. But they didn't.

They haven't really posted here so it's not that much a problem. Plus it's just funny when they get mad. I'm sure they'll defederate from us soon anyway.
