Barry Mullins.... inventor of PCR

I am travelling for work right now. 1.) United Airlines now pisses all over BA for service (and is cheaper). 2.) Spending over 24 hours in transit gets harder and harder with age. 3.) I wish that I wasnt speaking at a conference tomorrow.

It was a K-8 school. Parents did this, not the kids.

Holy. Fucking. Shit.

This is horrendous.

Can't read the whole paper.

Did they control for factors like prior Covid infection and smoking status both of which are associated with poor olfaction and CHD?

I am pretty sure that Slot doesnt give a shit about the Carabao Cup.

Or apparently LFC.

Oh sure, but that doesnt change the fact that it 40B is a big deal in terms of keeping their economy ticking over (or rather it would be if it didnt disappear into Milei's cronies pockets).

Their 2024 GDP was $633 billion. So, the aid is potentially worth 6.3% of GDP. That isnt chump change.

I saw Sugar play a festival in Finsbury Park, London, in 1993. It was one of the best gigs that I ever attended.

Jonjo Shelvey: Former Newcastle United midfielder says he hasn't moved to Dubai for money About 75 fans watched Jonjo Shelvey's debut in the third tier of the United Arab Emirates - but he says he has not moved for money.

Absolutely! And seemingly they also made claymore mines that would definitely have contained stuff that require a percussion cap or similar to initiate the device (as they use C4 and the propellant charge, I believe)

War, truly is, hell.

Portland is a veritable Passchendaele.

Wait until he learns about the aluminium content of clay. He'll be forced to ban plates.
