It will take the world a while to move away from the US. It’s built itself as a relatively trusted, albeit flawed, nation to all the major western powers.

It’s sad to see the destruction of my country’s reputation, sadder to see 50% of the population take pride in it. I’d leave if I could

I didn’t say it was magic. Part of the issue is we don’t know what modifications he made in making his artificial version. I won’t pretend like there aren’t a lot of unknowns there. It could alter the effectiveness in numerous ways.

Having a heterozygous deletion is still effecting the right gene. Without knowing both of her parents genetics it’s hard to say if it was natural. What he did could produce either a heterozygous or homozygous result on the gene, but only the homozygous presentation is effective at prevention.

So 1 was a full success and the other showed activation on the appropriate gene, but not enough to confer resistance. Although it is possible it does since he used an artificial gene. We know the natural one is not effective in a heterozygous presentation. I still think that was his greatest mistake. He should have just used the naturally effective gene.

You do make a good point with the full backing rigor of the scientific method this procedure would always be successful.

So far I’m liking lemmy more because there is a lot less per post. I find I’m enjoying each thread more fully. It’s like I’m not endless scrolling because I can’t. I’ve actually read more articles in the day since I’ve joined than in my last 3 months on reddit.

Per the wikipedia page it states that it is not clear if it effective because they’re not going to intentionally infect the children to test it. But we see the results specifically on the targeted gene. That’s a success and demonstrates the technology works.

I’d argue the folly was inserting an artificial gene as opposed to the natural gene that we already know works. Either way the technology showed expression on the correct gene, that is a success.

We’d be having a better discourse on this if his results weren’t banned from every journal and not studied.

By all accounts what he did worked. The potential to end HIV is huge. The amount of human suffering that could be reduced by rolling out what he did is very real.

The technology is here. It’s better to strictly manage it for the public good than to lock it away.

Frankly I would need to gather several experts and have access to all relevant data to even begin.

However, bringing in the world’s 9th largest economy would have it’s benefits. If joined it would be the 4th largest economy in the EU.

I believe that would provide great benefit.

The only thing you’ve mentioned that I have a suggestion on how to handle would be smuggling. Simply when leaving Canada to fly into the EU they go through standard security. Your already not allowed to fly with prohibited substances. If you’re really worried when first arriving in Europe they can go through customs and then be allowed free travel. Although the existing land borders in Europe are much harder to control. Canada being an ocean away can be controlled much easier. Even if it’s land borders are larger.

I’m sure these things could be addressed while still maintaining the economic benefits of bringing Canada into the EU.

I doubt the European Georgia is the one producing pecans. I can only speak for the state of Georgia, but pecans are a huge industry there. So I’d be willing to bet product of georgia = USA

Literally the trans mice thing, but in comic form

If they remove my pork tumors can I keep them?

Fire red will always be my number one as it was my first game.

Otherwise it’s a hard choice between Sapphire and Heartgold. Both had great regions and lots to do.

My most played would be Diamond and it was good, but sinnoh was never my favorite region.

I made a comment self censored to “Mario bros” on reddit. Got a permanent ban. They’re going scorched earth on anything moderately inflammatory

That’s why I’m here

26 was the last age I didn’t notice wrinkles and could grow a good beard. The beard keeps people from perceiving you as young.

And to keep the private tax filing agencies afloat

Oddly enough it kinda does. OT can make you pay out more taxes on that one check since withholdings are calculated by check. Basically the government/payroll system thinks you’re going to be making that every week so more taxes will be taken out.

In reality this only effects the size of your tax bill or return at the end of the year.
