I feel like you just described the perfect pathogen, a la Sebastian Junger.


Wasn’t this the plot of Wag the Dog?


Agreed. It’s excessive and unreasonable.

Why We Sleep by Dr. Matthew Walker.
Fascinating book all about what sleep is and the reasons every living thing on earth does/needs it in some way or another.
Gut by Guilia Enders.
Intriguing journey from mouth to anus, showcasing the functions performed to sustain life by some of the body’s most underrated organs. Also discusses some of the most common ailments and their effects (but also causes, and in some cases their treatments/cures).
Immune by Philipp Dettmer.
A wonderful introduction to how the body’s immune system performs its job…or doesn’t, in some unfortunate circumstances.
All three books are written for the lay person who wants/needs an accessible introduction to these complex systems affecting health and well-being.


Hey, at least they’ve got evangelism down to a science. I’m sure militant devotion to [the parts they like from] the Bible will pay back dividends down the road. Who needs the disciplined and organized pursuit of modern science in earnest when some old book written by long-dead humans claiming to speak for a supreme being says it has all the answers (many of which involve smite-based solutions)?


Were the senators themselves the victims of these deepfakes?
Also, they’re the legislative branch. Why don’t they just create a law to prohibit sexual deepfakes and assess penalties from the companies with tolerance/ambivalence/apathy toward sexual deepfakes?


Are adults who tantrum more prone to having aneurisms?


I can’t see how wholesale exploitative pillaging of a resource beyond its regenerative capacity could cause any long term problems for the environment or the humans who depend on it.


Dude’s sat atop rockets and been blasted into space multiple times. Some sleazy wannabe O4 fox news trump death eater is nothing to him.
Already knowing where it’d take me, I did it anyway just to make sure…

Well I’m glad they Finnished that maritime vandalism case once and for all.
Don’t worry protoserf, feudal times are making a comeback.
That it feels entitled to follow me everywhere I go, especially my home.


CO2 is a nice substance for this due to its relatively high temperature of fusion at modest pressures (and cheap ubiquity). I’d wondered why this wasn’t more of a thing with air, using excess energy to liquefy it, to later let the LN2 to be vaporized/expanded in a turbine and the LOX to be used in rockets or something. But deep cryogenics are more challenging.
Or maybe use excess power to electrolyze water for fuel cell use later?
But yeah, CO2 makes a lot of sense despite its relatively poorer specific heat ratio for adiabatic expansion compared to mono and diatomic gasses.


And pathogenic prions are our own, hardier, DIY version.
