Wow that’s quite the bioweapon!

What does it smell like?

2/3 of these animals aren’t in my country so I don’t know about the logistics but this seems really cool!

That outsourcing can be ropey. You should always get your own line editor if you’re dealing with one of the big academic publishers.

This, surely it’s more usual? The first time I ever reached out the person sent me three recent articles and an invitation to let them know when/where my research was published, even though it wasn’t relevant to their discipline.

I was a lowly grad student and he was a senior academic with his own lab. I’d heard of his research because it was mentioned in a science documentary on tv, and the whole experience really gave me a happy feeling.

I can see why [email protected] only did it the one time after the experience they had, though.

As someone from neither place - I’m guessing it didn’t strike a nerve, so much as it struck a funny bone.

There’s just something ludicrous about the phrasing.

It would improve living standards and mortality rates for Cuban citizens.

Not exactly.

Any ship that docks in Cuba is barred entry to US ports in the next 180 days.

The US can also sanction foriegn companies that trade with Cuba.

It’s not a blockade but it has a chilling effect on trade.

Brb building time machine.

I think you’re right.

I used to teach first year undergraduates and the first time they heard the American term “people of colour” invariably led to a lot of confusion and offence because many of them (especially PoC themselves) initially thought it was insulting.

I mean I’m not exactly offended by it, but if someone uses it that’s a “note to self, this person is most likely misogynist” moment for sure.

I would idolize Avasarala if it wasn’t for S1E1.

That would be confusing. I want to be able to tell govt.nz apart from the US one.

I did that. It was amazing how many people tried to make it into some kind of sex call.

China does this too. I love getting files in this format.

Thank you.

This story made me cry. I am disabled and not always mobile. There are loved ones in my family who are elderly, cannot walk far, and depend on medication.

I cannot even imagine what it must be like to try to evacuate at short notice, with nowhere to go.

I’m not either.
