mortureb··on India suspends visas for Canadians as row escalates
It is if the nation harboring the terrorist refuses to cooperate with an interpol order related to murder and the person is actively killing politicians in your country. What exactly was India supposed to do since Canada refused to work with them? Sit on their hands and watch their elected reps get assassinated?

This changes everything and makes India’s actions seem reasonable. It’s akin to the US taking out an Al-Qaeda member in Yemen or Pakistan.

Generally being amicable in situations like this where you are accused of serious issues is viewed as insulting. I’m not saying they didn’t do it, I’m just saying that even if they didn’t they wouldn’t take kindly to it just being thrown in their face.

It could sure speed up a lot of the preclinical work to get to trials. I’m sure the company would love to not have to extrapolate their success probabilities based on mouse studies leading to extensive expensive trials that might not work out in the end.

The organization giving the experimental drugs with the view that it will pay for itself in relevant research and treatments that come from the testing.

The best research is experimenting on people directly.

Softening the blow. No one wants to hear a CEO say the robots are coming for their jobs.

They all seem to be laborers in Karnataka now. Almost all laborers seem to be from UP and Bihar.

You can be divorced with no financial support then which is really the crux of the issue.
mortureb··on ‘Less than half’ fresh produce sold globally makes any profit
Yeah, I still think not having every pest and weed from Asia helped as well. Most of the weeds and pests on my property are some combination of Japanese/Chinese/Asian ____.

No, long term we somehow get something magical like LLMs that swoop in and magically pull off these tasks.
mortureb··on ‘Less than half’ fresh produce sold globally makes any profit
I tried organic just for the family. It’s next to impossible to keep plants alive and weeds out. How did people do it before NPK and glyphosate? It’s probably climate dependent and contingent on not having cross continental pests. The first year Japanese beetles pretty much ate my whole crop over the span of 3 weeks.

It just takes a while for the message to permeate.

I’m not even struggling, a loyal wife that cooks, cleans and takes care of the kids but I’m here for the boys.

If I have any advice for men, it’s a watertight prenup drafted by a lawyer who knows what he is doing.

The hard right comes with a bunch of nonsense like racism and generally serving the elite though which is a bad idea.

Guys are in a vast majority of the case not conducive to being diminutive recipients. This doesn’t work well in the current educational paradigm.

Don’t be a pussy is still very good advice.

It’s not toxic anything.

For the most part we’re talking about static images here, atleast for the current state of LLMs and those are all freely viewable online.

Bullshit. You can look up all works up for free online. What a sorry argument. Copyrighted means you can’t reproduce it, not not look at it.
mortureb··on Boys and Men in the United States Are Struggling. The Left Should Talk About It
The left doesn’t talk about shit when it comes to this. It’s always some feminist bullshit approach that just doesn’t work for men.

They are of Indian origin so they knew doctors directly in India.

I’m sorry for what you’re going through. I think there really should be a separate FDA category for people with a few years left to live. Still not available to the general public but something a physician should be able to recommend to terminal cases.

Have you tried directly calling or visiting the trial location and try to get in touch with the person administering these to see if you can get in that way. Alternatively if you’re rich you can commission a lab in India to make these for you. They have a lot of experience making the covid mRNA drugs so should be able to pivot relatively easily if you’re paying enough. Bharat labs made the Covax vaccine so maybe start there but I’m sure a bit of googling should bring up more labs.

You have nothing to lose man. If you’re too sick to call around I hope there is someone in your life who can. Go down swinging, contact an Indian/Chinese lab today.

As the other commenter mentioned, I knew someone that had fantastic results just getting her “experimental” drugs from India.

Anything with in person anything is an immediate no go. Come on guys, find a way around this. There absolutely has to be a way to do this over the internet.

Both parties don’t spend the same. The democrats always fix the terrible mess republicans have made. This is factual and not subjective at all.

How interesting. This is a niche I keep seeing mentioned on HN but never made the connection to providing a solution. Nice work!
