it wasn’t worth it with covid and all it did was a magnet for spurious, ill-understood effects. it isn’t worth it even if you throw a chatbot at it, especially considering how dogshit these things are at anything factual https://cen.acs.org/pharmaceuticals/drug-discovery/Is-drug-repurposing-worth-the-effort/99/i3 https://www.science.org/content/blog-post/drug-repurposing-how-often-does-it-work


if you can get into fuel tank you can do so many more interesting things. chlorinated solvents will burn giving hydrogen chloride, and this will corrode everything downstream, pretty fast at that because it’s hot
also if you can fuck with fuel tank, you might be able to do the same with engine oil. fine alumina or silica added to it will cause quick weardown of moving parts that at the same time looks natural
not sure what kind of (permanent) damage water will do to engine, maybe it’ll look like it’s flooded if enough gets in

instagram/pinterest-ish chinese app that was promoted on american tiktok as a possible alternative after ban. it has actual chinese users and they weren’t impressed when american transplants wanted everyone to speak english



won’t there be some limited immunity against H5N1 from N1 part? also regular seasonal flu vaccination should prevent antigenic shift because coinfection is less likely, i think it’s a part of advice for high risk farm workers


In fact, a moderator from a subreddit we hadn’t reached out to for comment reached out because they heard we were contacting moderators to speak about this.
