To be a terrorist organization, don’t you first have to be… an organization?

It’s not only religious people, it’s just people collectively. If you are famous enough someone will want to see/touch/own your hair, your belongings, your undegarments, or the chair you were shot in.

Shoutout to the The Besties Podcast who created this merch

P.S. I’m not affiliated with them in any way. Just a listener and Patreon supporter.

Edit: dynamic ad insertion make linking episodes with timestamps weird nowadays, but after the first ad break is the bit where they announced the towel.

supercritical water… superionic ice

What if “normal” life in the universe exists on places like that and we are just the weird aliens with the low pressure atmosphere.

Agreed.

They made New Horizons work as well as it did by constraining the size of the island and making the camera only point in one direction. The backs of the trees don’t even exist.

There is a special place in hell for modern manufacturers of devices that have a USB-C port, but won’t charge from a modern USB-C charger. (fedia.io)
 

I just went to charge my kitchen scale and it wouldn’t work until I dug out a USB-A -> C cable and plugged it into my desktop…

It just reminded me of how many devices like that I have. This scale, my wife’s sound torc, some car jumperstarters, and I think a one or two more…

I assume it’s because they just slap a usbc port on a dumb 5v circuit that doesn’t have a power negotiation controller. So the cable and the charger cant figure out the power needs of the device are and just never send any.

Does measles effect allergies? (fedia.io)
 

DISCLAIMER: I am in no way advocating for the spreading of a highly contagious and deadly disease or the abstention from safe and highly effective vaccines. But, this is No Stupid Questions, so…

Measles is known for wiping out your immune system memory and re-endangering you to pathogens you had once successfully fought off.

Allergies are when your immune system misidentifies something harmless (like pollen or peanuts) as a harmful pathogen and triggers an immune response.

So, what happens to allergies in people who get measles? Does it wipe out the immune system’s memory of the allergen? Does it expose them to develop new allergies? Do we even know whether it does anything to allergies at all, or has it never been studied? What about other auto immune diseases?

Secondly, if it does do something, is there some way that it can be utilized to help allergy sufferers? Not in the “give people a deadly contagious disease” kind of way (I’ve heard of the tapeworm thing), but is there something there that could studied and developed into a targeted drug or treatment? Or is the mechanism just too broad and dangerous.
