When is the IRS going to send tax return money? It feels like it’s been ages since I filed but no luck

Didn’t the US pass a law saying they would invade the Netherlands if any American was put on trial in the Hague?

Heed Hankny50's wise words. Maybe there’s still some hope left for your critical thinking skills.

Who’s Justine Sacco?

I’ve seen people love to say “easily found” when they don’t have any sources and are just making bullshit up.

Is it that implausible though? R0 numbers suggest this is slightly more contagious than normal flu. Back when I lived with my parents, I remember plenty of flu seasons where one of us got sick but others did not. 

Yep. I have had the same issue.

I grew up in Nepal and this is what was standard too. We used a cast iron wok to make curries all the time. I didn’t know seasoning was a thing until my college roommate in the US spent hours looking at the oven every once in a while.

I feel like a lot of the beauty of GTA comes from the satire though. This has been true for every game since GTA III. I doubt they will do such a tonal shift in the game.

Nothing I disagree with there. You bring a valid point about low income individuals and citizens of African nations who do indeed suffer from periodic ebola epidemics. I was just trying to illustrate why there isn’t much research into ebola vaccines. (And to be fair, Cholera epidemics, which are completely preventable

While I agree with most of what you said, HIV, SARS and Ebola don’t really need a vaccine. HIV is completely controllable now with treatments. SARS died out because it was more deadly than it was contagious plus it just couldn’t withstand the summer heat. So, all the research was just shelved when it was no longer a

p sure you are talking about “How I built this”. And Guy Raz doesn’t ask for “the 3 things that got them there”. He always asks how much of their success was luck and how much was hard work at the end of the episode. And most people do credit luck a decent amount (while there have been exceptions). 

I don’t even know how orders work through the phone? Do I just give out my credit card information over the phone? I guess this is no different than handing your credit card to your waiter/waitress at a restaurant but the thought just gives me the creeps

Why is it not feasible? As more and more people recover, getting the plasma should be easier and easier.

Right. I guess I didn’t think about the lack of motivation for pharma companies because they can’t really make money off of plasma treatments. But at least WHO, Gates foundation, etc. should be spending more money at this right? I read all the articles about them throwing money at multiple (and probably not likely)

But as more people recover, it should be easier and easier to do right? This should address the “finding suitable donors” part. For the “labor intensive” part, if it does work, shouldn’t it be the top priority for everyone to make it more affordable, both cost wise and labor wise? I’m just surprised it never even gets

How about convalescent plasma transplant? I feel like nobody is talking about it

Just as wacky, and a lot more secure than Zoom

I found it yesterday :) On the 3rd season now haha
