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.

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

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.

I mean yeah of course. That’s what happens to the Kurds. I don’t know why but they always get screwed out of everything.

Actually I’ve lost track of how many times it’s been over the past 20 years or so that I’ve heard it.

Do you mean the hypocrisy of supporting Ukraine because they were invaded by Russia (twice now) and Israel which has attacked Gaza and Lebanon (and probably more if they get their way).

I guess that one makes a lot more sense to me because Israel has a long complicated history. Ukraine is relatively simple: they were happy to separate from the USSR and the invasion was attempted annexation.

Unless people have their head buried in the sand, Russia has been known to be a Mafia state. Israel, on the other hand, has been so effectively supported in post-world war II propaganda that they even taught us in school that Israel was to become a “safe place” for Jews.

Syria is completely unlike either of those though. It just appears to be a complete clusterfuck

That

Explains a lot

Man just a few days ago I was surprised to hear that the Syrian war was still going on

I can’t keep up with it all

Admittedly, I had no idea the Syrian conflict continues on today. I figured it just became a failed state and ended up with various warlords

Amazing

Now ‘ere’s what crazy-ol’ u/peopleproblems would do. Crazy ol’ u/peopleroblems would come to the sum of bitches we have in Acquisitions, and say 'how many weeks could a force of exactly Ukraine’s force hold a position with everything we have currently sitting in storage deployment ready, but not otherwise deployed? Ok, and how about all the equipment we have being delivered under contract for that many weeks? Ok, now, get me a number to replace all that equipment with the newest contracts set to immediately fill everything we send for that first chunk. Ok, now double it, and phone the pencil pushers to get procurement offers for this shit from the defense manufacturers. Yes, definitely let their boards know too. Oh, don’t mention where the already purchased equipment is going, that’s national security interest. Just mention the US is interested in making them rich in turn for securing our country for a long time."

“And give that number to Congress?”

“Once the various board members hear first. We gotta feed the handlers before we treat the pawns in Congress.”

“Sir is that, legal?”

“It’s an official act. I just made it legal.”

There’s a lot of caveats to that. It’s almost never civilian related casualties, stabilizing traumatic injury, and increasing combatant effective hours. A soldier missing a limb can’t fight anymore, no DoD funds for him, unless troop counts are predicted to fall below sustainable amounts and you desperately need a way to keep troops effective.

Well, think of all the new test patients for prosthetic design and human regeneration medicine!

I’m so sorry, it was in my head and it was one of those things that if I didn’t say I was going to explode. I am going to hell and deserve any down votes i receive.

Would I have to work in China? If so, no thank you.

If not…

3x my salary you say?
