See I didn’t know that, cool thanks

Yes, it cannot be created naturally.

The concern is that if one of the mirror proteins is able to be cloned naturally, then we would have a problem on our hands.

However, those mirror cells would need a supply of “mirror food” such as “mirror sugar” in order to survive their natural lifespan. And then they would need to break apart into the mirror proteins that can be cloned. Racemic drugs like Thalidomide do not behave the way they are talking about in the article.

I have my doubts that this is an actual concern. It’s not even similar to prions - prions are misfolded proteins that have the same chemical make up, but the natural enzymes end up cloning those over the natural ones because they are easier to make.

Correct. It’s also a much simpler organic molecule than any of the proteins they are talking about creating.

I know I just responded, but I read the article, and the drug page, and discovered the thing we’re talking about. Racemic organic molecules are not the same thing here.

These are specifically proteins used for cellular life. These are significantly more complex, as there are no natural bindings between the two. To note this from Wikipedia:

Examples include thalidomide, ibuprofen, cetirizine and salbutamol. A well known drug that has different effects depending on its ratio of enantiomers is amphetamine. Adderall is an unequal mixture of both amphetamine enantiomers. A single Adderall dose combines the neutral sulfate salts of dextroamphetamine and amphetamine, with the dextro isomer of amphetamine saccharate and D/L-amphetamine aspartate monohydrate. The original Benzedrine was a racemic mixture, and isolated dextroamphetamine was later introduced to the market as Dexedrine. The prescription analgesic tramadol is also a racemate.

We know that those drugs aren’t great in pregnancy, but Adderall specifically does not cause birth defects. Again, these molecules are significantly less complex than any protein they would talk about here.

Well that answers my question if mirror cells need mirror molecules.

They just die and break apart turning into mirror molecules. Oh well.

What’s crazy is that some of the people I talk to, I expected to say something like “yeah, but he didn’t get a trial.”

It’s been “yeah, he’s been on trial for 3 years at UHC, and 20 before that. And he was declared guilty.”

Wait hold on

That makes too much sense get out of here

I imagine the children with these things are emotionally disregulated in some way shape or form. A small group of children sometimes don’t learn to self soothe when they are very young, others in ASD struggle with it for a lifetime. Some with ADHD have a very difficult time when their medicine wears off and their emotions kick back in to overdrive.

For all those groups I mentioned, the whole concept of this thing was almost brilliant. Something that they can go to knowing it will be able to help them guide through emotions while mom and dad are doing something necessary like cooking or fixing something outside, or in the bathroom.

If you haven’t had to deal with a child that has emotional regulation problems, then it is hard to explain the difficulty that the failure of this device will make. It is true that they will adapt it, they always do, that’s how things work. The problem is that the emotional disregulation leads to broken things at home, aggressive behaviors with peers, getting kicked out of preschool and day care, etc.

It truly is a nightmare scenario. The parents have to prepare for all of these things and a new way to help their child through the limited existing means.

AAAARROOOOOOO!

Man those parents. Oof.

I do not wanna be in their shoes.

Telling your kid that needed an emotional support robot friend that the robot friend is going to take a nap for a long time and might not wake back up? Ooo boy.

Helping a kid through a divorce is hard enough. This seems like a terrifying nightmare.

The only thing I can see this affecting is the Secure-boot requirement.

Which is very odd to consider that anything compatibility related would likely have nothing to do with secure boot, and everything to do with Windows being Windows.

So I’m looking up how many elephants they would need, and so far it’s a lot.

Like my keys and wallet.

I can be reasonably certain I didn’t leave them somewhere smart.

:O

Yeah, that’s the part I’m not excited about. They’ve narrowed who they are looking for far too much for it to be pinned on just anyone.

So you can guarantee whoever they do pin it on will “resist law enforcement” and be unable to plead their innocence in court.

So they have new photos of him, and they are looking for all surveillance in the 10 days he was in New York, and they have him loitering in the area 5 minutes prior to Thompson’s arrival at the investor conference he was attending. They have a cellphone he left. They’re trying to get the bike.

They fucking lost him and they’re scrambling.

This is exciting. Heck I don’t know what I’m more excited about - the potential for The Adjuster to get away, the message Thompson received, the collective panic amongst the elite, or the investigation work telling us how desperate they are trying.

You know, they never mentioned how much monopoly money it was.

It makes me wonder if they thought to count it. There’s more statements to be made, especially if there was a phone there.

CSI: Elite

“We found that test audiences repeatedly stopped caring after the opening murder scene played. In fact, some of them really seemed to be engaged, and possibly even posed to give positive responses, but unanimously became negative responses when they learned more of the victims back story.”

Man if it’s every dispute, that means even the non-indsured are being looked at.

In like 2021 there was a case in Tennessee where the claims were all underpaid.

They also have no friends involved in Medicare. As recently as this past summer they were discovered to be over-billing Medicare by adding diagnostics and treatment the patients never received. And yes, this was the insurance part of UHG.

So if they’re investigating everything, it’s going to lead to a world of headache for UHG.

No, it’s not.

The US Dollar is a fiat currency. The value is merely what the market dictates amongst trading frequency and how much debt is held in it.

It’s backed by nothing. A dollar has a made up value. In the1970s Nixon ended the US gold Standard, and those with property, not the government who held the gold, got to dictate it. Same thing through today.

Wait what?

No, dictators fucking love central banks and fiat currency.

They like it even better than anything, because a dictator almost always controls the central bank. Plus, the dictator and his buddies almost always own everything, and when you own property you need fiat currency to stay in power. Fiat currency inevitably leads to hyperinflation. With hyperinflation, you get way wealthier owning property than having cash. At that point they don’t need the central bank that they control.
