Some people think king salmon are a different species but really they were just crowned king of salmon because they can jump the farthest.

Sounds like it only works on mice. But maybe they can give mice the nasal spray and then put the mice in your nostrils so that the mice can protect your immune system while the vaccine protects theirs. Best of both worlds really.

Hmm it's an interesting question. I would say no for two reasons. The US has enough military power to do what they want overtly (see 2026), and I doubt the US could keep something like that quiet for long enough to matter. Surely something like that would have been leaked if anyone knew about it.

I mean yeah that's kinda the point of sleeper cells.

"Nice, same."

Genius, it's like a tax on walking. If you could get anywhere by walking in America, these would be all over the place.

I heard on a podcast that it is somewhat common (more than 0.001% anyway) in developing countries for people to test positive for rabies antibodies even though they hadn't been treated for it. Implying that they had been exposed but somehow overcame it.

I thought it was radiolab but I can't find it now...

Hold up so I could have as much asbestos as I wanted if it weren't for my stupid immune system?

I don't think this is the astronomer talking, unless he forgot to log out of his personal account.

If that's true then most of the challenge was "wait until bad weather, pause, move gates up/down. wait until good weather, pause, move gates down/up" which is not much of a challenge. I think that's fine since they also prevent stupid mistakes where you miss one gate but don't notice until well after.

Most misleading headline ever, wow

Yeah I was just wondering, how does he even see the sun rise with the way his vision works? Maybe the sun just comes into his range of vision instead of rising above the horizon?
