My dream is to get a large piece of farm land and plant a native food forest. Regenerating the land and creating a sustainable food source.

Congrats to the EU. With the destabilization of one of it's largest allies it seems the most of the continent is uniting to make up the difference. Seems like Europe as a whole will dominate the next few decades

I think what truly did it in was having a black president. The casual racists got so mad that a black man was president they became hellbent on destroying the country.

It's quite sad.

Oh yeah green onions are a different story. They're easy.

I'm growing yellow and red onions, the typical bulbs.

I've been working on growing onions and they take forever. That garden space would have been better off growing something else

I wonder when I can claim asylum elsewhere

This is what Chuck Schumer directed the democrats vote for

Greasing the wheels of oppression with an identified "other" group before turning it against the rest of the American populace

I live for the universe where luigi is set free, then does it again

Once I read the caption I can only see the bag of popcorn now. The effect is gone

I don't know, are we sure the Tesla didn't spontaneously combust? They're known to do that. Wouldn't want a manufacturing error pinned on an innocent person...

It will take the world a while to move away from the US. It's built itself as a relatively trusted, albeit flawed, nation to all the major western powers.

It's sad to see the destruction of my country's reputation, sadder to see 50% of the population take pride in it. I'd leave if I could

I didn't say it was magic. Part of the issue is we don't know what modifications he made in making his artificial version. I won't pretend like there aren't a lot of unknowns there. It could alter the effectiveness in numerous ways.

Having a heterozygous deletion is still effecting the right gene. Without knowing both of her parents genetics it's hard to say if it was natural. What he did could produce either a heterozygous or homozygous result on the gene, but only the homozygous presentation is effective at prevention.

So 1 was a full success and the other showed activation on the appropriate gene, but not enough to confer resistance. Although it is possible it does since he used an artificial gene. We know the natural one is not effective in a heterozygous presentation. I still think that was his greatest mistake. He should have just used the naturally effective gene.

You do make a good point with the full backing rigor of the scientific method this procedure would always be successful.

So far I'm liking lemmy more because there is a lot less per post. I find I'm enjoying each thread more fully. It's like I'm not endless scrolling because I can't. I've actually read more articles in the day since I've joined than in my last 3 months on reddit.

Per the wikipedia page it states that it is not clear if it effective because they're not going to intentionally infect the children to test it. But we see the results specifically on the targeted gene. That's a success and demonstrates the technology works.

I'd argue the folly was inserting an artificial gene as opposed to the natural gene that we already know works. Either way the technology showed expression on the correct gene, that is a success.

We'd be having a better discourse on this if his results weren't banned from every journal and not studied.

By all accounts what he did worked. The potential to end HIV is huge. The amount of human suffering that could be reduced by rolling out what he did is very real.

The technology is here. It's better to strictly manage it for the public good than to lock it away.

Dismissing a state's right to sovereignty is the most anti-democratic thing I can think of.

Considering Ukraine is the only modern/western democracy to have been invaded for territorial conquest in about 80 years demonstrates the level of bullshit that you're spouting.

This should have been fixed in the 1800s when Andrew Jackson defied the Supreme Court, but it was ignored and here we are
