  • People whose car died at the worst time (because my personal situation) but also at the best time (because of the Iran war / oil situation). We really needed a new car fast and before our old car really broke down we were looking at either a hybrid or EV version of a certain car. The attack on Iran and its ripple effects simply tipped the balance towards the EV. I knew this bs wasn’t going to go away in a few days but we were fast enough to get one for the price it was before the war. I was already really looking forward to driving oil-free, so I think it’s been a good decision. No debt either.

    I will tell you why, it’s because the people who fuck around are not the same who find out. The tech billionaires and MAGA influencers who helped spread it will not find out. They are above law and above consequences and they don’t even believe that phrase anyway.

    Only in the pea-sized brain of the low-life MAGA does that rule count. Ironically enough they are the exception who actually follow their own phrase – or not, because they’re probably too ignorant to connect the dots and actually find out.

    Yes, you’re mistaken. That’s what I’ve been trying to tell you.

    None of these studies are done with a DIY set, they’re done at million-dollar laboratories by professionals. Two of these studies found exactly what I told you in the previous comment, that the bacteria became better equipped to deal with UV damage.

    The second study is interesting, as they found a way to select the bacteria to produce the chemical of interest. But you won’t be able to do this with a DIY kit either.

    And lastly, how are you going to determine whether you’re even on the right track? Do you have a whole bunch of rhesus monkeys that you can inoculate to see whether they die and infect each other?

    Even then, you won’t be able to do that. CRISPR is a precision technique and you need exactly the right sequence and enzyme to make the alterations you want. You can’t get that in a starter kit.

    You also can’t random bullshit go! your way with UV cause it will straight up kill bacteria and the ones that don’t die will just be more resistant to UV damage.

    Stop watching the crazy stuff :)



  • You’re just as bad as them since you support it if we follow your line of thinking from the Israeli government to the kids at the festival. And even worse because you don’t even know what opinions they held, I do know yours. You don’t get to choose. Either both are true or neither.
