Soo, OP’s account is currently ~30 minutes old. Not sure if it’s just me, but that makes me somewhat hesitant to join and I just wanted to highlight it for everyone.
§ɦṛɛɗɗịɛ ßịⱺ𝔩ⱺɠịᵴŧto politics@hexbear.net•Does he know the difference between type 1 and type 2 diabetes?English15·17 days agoMeat and veg contain nearly no carbs though. Insulin is the “key” allowing for cells to uptake glucose, aka carbs, from the blood to make ATP. So a rise in ones blood glucose after a meal of just meat and veg doesn’t exactly make sense. I’m type I, so my islet cells have been killed off by my immune system, meaning I can’t produce insulin. Type II is associated with the cellular insulin receptors not working as efficiently, which the body attempts to fix by increasing insulin production. Unfortunately, this increased metabolic demand leads to dysfunctional islet cells over time due to the prolonged cell stress. I know it’s a small thing, but diabetes is an invasive disease and the more you know, the better control one can maintain! Maybe check the sauces used in the meat and veg meal? This is likely the source of the carbs leading to the high blood glucose level after eating.

§ɦṛɛɗɗịɛ ßịⱺ𝔩ⱺɠịᵴŧto chapotraphouse@hexbear.net•When is the best opportunity to reveal that you've been wearing Heelys the whole time?English19·1 month agoOff the stage after receiving an award, degree, or something similar. Ideally backwards while doing finger guns! But for real, why hasn’t anyone combined Heelys and Soaps so we can grind between rippin around on the wheels?!

§ɦṛɛɗɗịɛ ßịⱺ𝔩ⱺɠịᵴŧtoneurodiverse@hexbear.net•New Adderall road block just droppedEnglish4·1 month agoWell said! We figured it all came down to the membership aspect of the business, as well as their huge breadth of services offered. This results in them just wanting to get people in and out rather than fight customers over “trivial” transactions.

If you didn’t know, they legally must allow anyone to use their pharmacy, regardless of membership! Most states also require them to sell booze to everyone too. But hopefully your sister can give this a shot and she’ll get similar results.

But I’m just a person from the 89% of the population with this stance. So asking me isn’t all that useful. Asking at the demonstrations in a manner which takes account of each response is a much more logical way to help figure this out. Additionally, there’s definitely organizations who’ve done a lot of work here and have plans drawn up on these matters.

Those pushing back would eventually break from the pressure.

John Steinbeck’s story is a trip. He wrote about the “underbelly of society” according to the political leaders of the city he was from (Salinas, Ca) in his early/mid career. So much so, they kicked him out of town. After he blew up for his work, they felt shame for giving him the boot. There’s now a big museum dedicated to him in downtown Salinas, The National Steinbeck Center. What this proves is capitalist only care about you if they can make a buck off ya, otherwise, get lost!

§ɦṛɛɗɗịɛ ßịⱺ𝔩ⱺɠịᵴŧto covid@hexbear.net•Is COVID quietly sabotaging our immune systems?English5·2 months agoWell said! The aspects you highlighted here are great points to make when it comes down to the lab made conversation. If it was apples to apples regarding only mutation, I see SARS-CoV-2 having an edge. Yet, influenza has an ace up it’s sleeve known as reassortment. This compounds it’s already substantial mutation rate. Reassortment arises during the co-infection of different influenza viruses and produces novel variations 46%-86% of the time. Reassortment is attributed to influenza’s segmented RNA genome, which is a pretty rare trait across viruses. This is basically influenza’s mutation multiplier and keeps it ahead of the curve across the board.
§ɦṛɛɗɗịɛ ßịⱺ𝔩ⱺɠịᵴŧto covid@hexbear.net•Is COVID quietly sabotaging our immune systems?English4·2 months agoTo be alive on this planet means we’re constantly in an evolutionary arms race to remain alive. Our adaptive immune response (T-Cells and B-Cells) was the answer evolutionary to mammalian viruses. Meaning, the “toll” our immune system takes is literally why we have it. From a virology and immunology standpoint, it’s understood viral infections lead to dysregulation as viruses are parasites with one goal, hijack our cellular machinery to reproduce. As far as opportunistic infections are concerned, that’s also in the same boat. The immune system is distracted, so it’s not as focused on playing defense. But, we’re all at risk of opportunistic infections simply by taking antibiotics, even with zero environmental influence. As far as comparing the mutation rates of influenza and coronaviruses, influenza wins hands down every time, it’s not even a competition. Influenza is a single stranded -RNA virus, while SARS-CoV-2 is a single stranded +RNA virus. So basically, out the gate, influenza has more opportunity to mutate as it’s required to bring its own polymerase to infect a host, while the other is ready to rock when it shows up. This provides a lot more opportunity for influenza mutations, no if, and, or buts. Additionally, both influenza and SARS-CoV-2 are enveloped respiratory viruses, so neither really has an edge here. Moreover, there is absolutely no question that when a virus first jumps species as a result of a mutation, it’s much more fatal. Yet, mutations are random, so it’s a role of the dice at best. Depending on the virus, a certain amount of the “offspring” will always be non-infectious because of this gamble. But a virus needs us, so killing us also kills it. This is why they’re more fatal when it initially jumps species. Lastly, persistent infections are seen in both SARS-CoV-2 and influenza. Granted, more so in the former, as influenza’s been around for ages, so our immune response is much more wise to its tactics. I don’t mean to talk down here at all, this is just a field I’m VERY familiar with, so I wanted to help you hone in your understanding on the topic!
