People who bought these m4 threaded rods also frequently bought these m3 lock nuts

these people were very disappointed

Also excellent tips for parents. Let your children be lost for a bit! Leave room for them to grow and accomplish things!

In May 1988, legislation passed in the UK "prohibiting the promotion of homosexuality" by local authorities. It was in effect for a decade and a half, with massive impact on the LGBT+ community. This is a brief history of Section 28.

The difference between “continuous deployment”, “continuous delivery” and “continuous integration” is the difference between the eternal torments of sisyphus, tantalus and prometheus.

TOMORROW YOU WILL GRAB THE SUN WITH BOTH HANDS AND DEVOUR IT. FOR NOW DO YOU HAVE SOMEONE YOU CAN TALK TO?

HANG UP YOUR QUARTERSTAFF, TODAY YOU WILL BATTLE HUNGER. AND YOU WILL WIN.

the kind of personalized medicine based on using the patient's own cells to design a vaccine for one person isn't something you'll see widely used

even if it was vastly superior in outcomes to other options, under capitalism it will cost a huge amount of money and either be generally not very available or the patent owner won't even produce/license it due to a lack of demand (this has happened in the past)

reminds me of watching some video essay about how some countries started using bacteriophages instead of antibiotics before

bacteriophages aren't as specialized as the vaccine I'm subposting, but they do typically only target one species of bacteria, which honestly is vastly superior to broad-spectrum antibiotics if you don't want to fuck up your body's microbiome

it also gets around the whole issue of creating "superbacteria" that are resistant to a lot of antibiotics

alas, because they cannot be mass-produced as easily and evolve continuously, they fit neither the standard drug-approval process nor the incentives of pharmaceutical companies

then again researching new broad-spectrum antibiotics isn't profitable for pharma companies either because when there's a new antibiotic available, doctors want to use it as little as possible to avoid creating new resistant bacteria

in conclusion there's a lot of systemic issues, mainly related to capitalism, that prevent some great advancements in medicine
