The man speaks the truth. Our "zombie" movies nowadays are really just extreme outbreaks of a mutated rabies. A zombie originally was something that was mindless in the sense that it could be controlled, as a slave, by the person who reanimated it. The first 'modern' zombie movie was Night of the Living Dead but that film never said the word zombie once. People later on for some genuinely unknown reason started calling the monsters in it zombies years after it was released. Something like 28 Days Later is just turbo rabies.

Gaining weight and no ascites (they waited 6 months to give me a paracentesis for some reason),. The intrusion of the ascites through my diaphragm into my chest cavity wasn't good enough for them to give me a paracentesis, which is recommended by the NIH for all new cases of ascites.

Microwaves don’t operate on heat, nor do they “get hot”. But MORE importantly, your microwave does NOT distribute its radiation evenly inside. It has beams that point and shoot in very specific directions inside. Some areas inside get very little radiation exposure. It’s primarily focused straight at the center. That’s why most microwaves have a turnstile inside.

I was a cleaner in several dental practices and first thing i did was stick a bowl of hot water into the microwave and zap it for fifteen minutes to steam soften the baked on egg, spaghetti sauce baked potato etc There was always a three course meal present!

Thanks. Your comment just led me to a search that crushed my childhood belief (that never had reason to be challenged) that Suzanne Somers and Mark Summers were married. Starting with the realization that it was Mark SUMMERS not SOMERS.

For aging the edges of pages realistically I've had a lot of success by (with the book firmly closed) dampening the edges of the pages then going over them with a stiff wire brush. For an even more antique finish a blend of tea and coffee can be used, going darker for older, again painting the edges with the book closed and going over with a stiff wire brush while damp.

Seriously you need to consult a clinical psychologist. There might have been things going on in your spirituality. You have to find them out with the help of a professional.

If you are concerned about your attention, I recommend talking to a professional for treatment or a diagnosis!! For some advice or just general conversation, comments like these are fine :^] Both places are giving information!! It's just a different type!! I have autism and a bunch of other conditions that can affect attention!! While it is true that this video is a lot of information at once and thus could affect your knowledge retention and attention, try and think of other things that could affect your attention too!! Like, are you tired or hungry?? Have you slept well lately?? Or how is your mental and emotional state!! Just because you can't pay attention doesn't mean you have ADD, autism, or ADHD!! It could be something else or it could actually be ADD or ADHD!! please talk to a doctor for a diagnosis and listen to others for some advice or a sense of community :3c

@Birdman-z6o He wasn’t specifically referring to this video but was instead discussing the broader difficulties he faces when required to learn new things. His comments suggest that he may struggle with mental stability, which could be affecting his ability to process or adapt to new information. This ongoing issue seems to hinder his capacity to engage with new concepts or tasks, potentially indicating a deeper cognitive or emotional challenge. Therefore, it is suggested that he consult a professional. However, this does not imply that he is mad or insane.

You might have wanted to consult with an infectious disease microbiologist on some of these questions since you said you're a soil microbiologist. About the subway pole hygiene question, a lot of healthy people are MRSA carriers so there's actually a decent chance there's MRSA on that subway pole.

Nah. It's far more likely he understood that the question was asking for the pointy end, not the actual head as you know if. It shows more intelligence that he did that instead of assuming the person asking was really interested in the actual head. Which would be less interesting.
