Hi, scientist here! (and a couple days late)

We don’t know if it is an act of terrorism. If the motive is political and/or religious then, yes, this was an act of terrorism. If it was any other reason like he hated the singer and his fans or little green men in space told him to do it or he wanted to feel what it was like to be God and smite people or whatever,…

Molecular Biology Student here - >I think we’ve really covered all the real high spots in your flu history. Probable asymptomatic carrier, good genes conferring resistance, etc. And we’ve covered some very basic reasons why you get the shot in the first place. But one thing that we’ve missed is that being vaccinated…

Jelly to the hilt. I had noro so bad a few years back I actually legit thought I was going to die on my bathroom floor. I was in too much pain and agony to take an ambulance ride. I shudder at the memory.

I’d talk to a doctor, if I were you. One you trust, who has some specialty or interest in vaccines and ideally some experience with the disease you have. I’m a bit like you, I have multiple things going on and some are things like asthma (doctor advice: always get flu shot if you have asthma) and others contraindicate…

It’s something of a superpower and I’m jealous. I’m a virus/flu magnet. Would’ve died a number of times in childhood due to severe dehydration due to flu; luckily there was hospitalization and IV’s! I am, however, pretty resistant to a lot bacteria. My sister is the opposite though. No flus, no viruses, but extreme…

The flu often carries of the most vulnerable - young children and seniors. But the 1918 flu killed mainly young adults

Excellent interview. Another important thing to remember about the 1918 flu pandemic was the nature of the virus; it attacked the strongest immune systems, thus killing young healthy adults more than the very young or very old (with, respectively, underdeveloped or compromised immune systems). Get your flu shots,…

Given the runaway success that GOT became...

I think their chicken sandwiches are far superior to other fast-food options (if you skip the pickles, because pickles are disgusting and no one can convince me different), but they definitely don’t live up to the hype. And the waffle fries are fine, but not particularly memorable.

I love this video he did for The Motels in 1985.

Agree very much about Fincher’s many, many iconic music videos. He really raised the art form. Alas, I suspect now that he is an auteur, big time movie director, he doesn’t want to talk about his “commercial” work. Which is really a shame.

Amber was/is married to David Cross who is two decades older than she is, so age difference isn’t itself the problem. The problem is James Woods using it as a shield for his hatred of gay people (men, specifically, I’d bet).

Not surprised Kelly pissed her pants considering how thirsty for attention she is.

*Trump invites her for a night at the White House*

Yes I need it to be released as well. But I really just need it released so I can watch the No Man’s Land scene on repeat.

I just...don’t know. CA is an asshole thing to do, but we can’t make being an asshole illegal, or most of us would be in jail.

Please don’t conflate poor and rural with bigoted and evil. I see a lot more Bernie bumper stickers in WV than Trump bumper stickers. Don’t be classist. Don’t put down poor white folks. Trust me, they are not the problem.

I’m pissed that Cosby harmed those (many, many) women, but I’m also pissed that he murdered Cliff Huxtable.
