Trump makes enemies of everyone eventually. The only surprising thing is that the gun lobby thought Mr. "Take the guns first, go through due process second" was their ally in the first place.

Well a quick search says she was born in 1988, and Adams was born in 1957. They were married in 2019, so she would have been 31 and he would have been 62. So yes, easily within the age of a daughter.

Switch 2 Sales Reportedly Struggled Over The Christmas Period

Jump

Sludgehammer @lemmy.world 1mo ago

Well... while the price of the Switch 2 certainly causes sticker shock, when you adjust for inflation it's only about as expensive as the SNES was at launch... and is in fact cheaper then the NES was at launch. However, in the PS3's case when adjusted for inflation it was about 1.5 times as expensive as the SNES at launch (for the 20 gb version, the 60 gb was double).

Eh, the first Dirk Gently novel was kinda a mess IMO, I think it tried to fit too many ideas into one book. I thought it's sequel "The Long Dark Tea-Time of the Soul" was amazing though.

Federal authorities say an ICE agent, “fearing for his life” killed a woman during a confrontation Wednesday in south Minneapolis.

Can't wait for the footage of her driving away at 20 mph.

You know... this is the first time I saw the tacked on "Donald Trump" they didn't even manage to match the font of the original name. They somehow did a worse job then "The Ichy & Scratchy & Poochy show" did in the Simpsons.

The difficulty I see here is that it took the yeast not very long to mutate a beneficial effect, but it could just as quickly mutate away from that and even mutate something harmful.

That seems unlikely. The entire way it works is the yeast produces proteins that "look" like a virus to the immune system, causing a immune response. However that's the only part of of the virus in the yeast, there's nothing else that completes the virus. It's like... a steering wheel without a car, no matter how hard I mime swerving to run over a pedestrian nothing's gonna happen, because there is no car.

If the viral protein mutated it'd either A) still be recognized as a viral protein and generate immunity for a virus that doesn't exist, or B) generate a non-functional protein that the body would simply digest.
