The idea is that since the moose immune system responds mechanically the same to each strain of the viral type they get and if that mechanical response can be induced in a human patient then maybe it would have the same result: shedding large fibroids with no scarring.

My old friend Tree with a few bison standing around in the fall colors. This old cottonwood stood at the confluence of Soda Butte Creak and the Lamar River for decades and finally fell just a few years ago.

Nice to see all the Musk Bots are silent since Ukraine did us a favor and blew up Russias data centers/bot farms. While we don't waste much time on Musk or Trump the silence is perfect, particularly just before elections. Vote like your lives depend on it

It's thought two white dwarves merged and exploded leaving this expanding bubble of enriched plasma, packed with heavy elements like sulfur argon and neon. This type of merger is considered a failed supernova because substantial material wasn't consumed by the initial reaction. Thus the light show
These images of the supernova remnant known as Pa 30 show X-rays from Chandra and XMM-Newton. The Chandra data pinpoint the central source. The image also contains infrared data from the WISE telescope as well as sulfur seen in a specific band of visible light from the MDM Observatory in Arizona and stars in the field of view from the Pan-STARRS telescope in Hawaii. Astronomers studying this supernova remnant think it is the result of an unusual type of supernova explosion caused by two white dwarf stars merging. Typically no remnant is left behind, but Pa 30 appears to be an example where the result of the merger was not destroyed.

Here's a platform I'd like to see Nationalize both space X and Star Link Enough is enough, $22 billion in gov. contracts, $5 billion in subsidies, $28 billion tax incentive package in Louisiana alone Not to mention the 2-3 billion tesla rakes in in carbon credits Enough of the crony capitalism

It won't be like Terminator, or even the Borg, it'd be more like WALL-E Where humans are made functionally irrelevant, first through economic reliance & then by infrastructure dependence. Sound familiar ? "They've" put off every problem and now, amid the chaos, we have one more chance. Vote.

We need to win these mid terms and we need to put an immediate moratorium on AI development. We need serious regulations aimed straight at the tech bros and we desperately need to transition from the fascist economy towards a more human centric one like what's seen in the Nordic Model.

It's been a wild ride, lots of ups and downs, people being helpful, people being difficult, lean times like now and boom times like a couple years ago. We did it tho, made some real discoveries and wrote the paper. Now its the struggle to publish. If you can manage it Please donate tonight.
