Oh no! RI is trying to pass a law to make prostitution illegal! - TFox Apr 30, 17:57 3

i love that i come back in time for a ST board about bacteria. - Guy Apr 30, 16:59 10
- yes...this idear to be "sterile" is unoptainable in real life - Danedukenuuk Apr 30, 17:00 2
  - thankfully. if we tried, it would kill us all. -- nm - Guy Apr 30, 17:01 1
    - that's no reason for you not to try -- nm - pigby Apr 30, 17:07
- yes, I did know that. -- nm - Beryllium Apr 30, 16:59 6

    - NASA pre-orbital clean room? -- nm - Beryllium Apr 30, 17:24 2
      - its entirely possible that bacteria could survive space travel. - Guy Apr 30, 17:28
      - Not even there. We've contaminated every planetary body we've ever landed on. -- nm - TWuG Apr 30, 17:25
    - You should make a Conquer Club Swine Flu map. -- nm - Redmond (I'm Swine Flu Bait) Apr 30, 17:06 1
      - some kind of plague/pandemic map could actually be rather interesting. -- nm - Guy Apr 30, 17:09
I feel like tracy jordan sometimes, but without the highly-acclaimed video game under my belt. -- nm - Beryllium Apr 30, 16:53 2
- I want to take that analogy behind the middle school and get it pregnant. -- nm - nubby Apr 30, 16:54 1
  - Too late, I already got it pregnant with twins. -- nm - Beryllium Apr 30, 16:54
The moment all these things merge, and we get a bacteriofungaviruprion, we're fucked. -- nm - Beryllium Apr 30, 16:50 12
- i learned recently that bacteria have to deal with viruses to. there are up to 250,000,000 bacteria viruses per millilitre of seawater. - Guy Apr 30, 16:52 10

        It's kind of rude to refer to ty as "it", but okay. -- nm - Redmond (I'm Swine Flu Bait) Apr 30, 17:00 3
        
        i can't get excited about a ty visit, because I know he'll sleep the whole time he's here -- nm - Guy Apr 30, 17:37 2

  - It's the last offensive improvement for Slingers, at the workshop. -- nm - celedhring Apr 30, 16:53
- I knew someone would be. ;) -- nm - the liioulu without donuts Apr 30, 16:51
I think my work brain turned off about 45 minutes ago. -- nm - JaxSean Apr 30, 16:46 2
- Just now realizing how impossible 100% is, huh? -- nm - Will Hunting Apr 30, 16:48
- That's the first syptom of Swine Flu. -- nm - Redmond (I'm Swine Flu Bait) Apr 30, 16:47
b2b!: although i would not produce/answer anything that isn't asked for from the other side . . . - pigby Apr 30, 16:40 1
- right. - b! Apr 30, 16:50
I'm glad we're all taking the end of the world so good-naturedly. -- nm - Mop (236 lbs) Apr 30, 16:39 5

- I have no regrets -- nm - con_carne Apr 30, 17:46
- End of the world? Was pixie right about something? -- nm - David Apr 30, 16:49
- Just let me know when it's coming, i'll start panicking now. - Will Hunting Apr 30, 16:47
- I won't care when the world ends, since I'll be gone with it. - JaxSean Apr 30, 16:42
*whine* I was in Friday mode all day today, probably due to month end. I don't want to go to work tomorrow :( -- nm - MojaveMeg Apr 30, 16:39
OK, so antiviruses obviously kill viruses. (actually they mess up the replication). What is so bad about antiviral resistance you ask? - loosilu Apr 30, 16:38 10
- many bacteria are also imune to many antibacterial medicines now....it is atleast as troubeling as the virus situation - Danedukenuuk Apr 30, 16:43 9
  - yes, like TB and MRSA. it's very dangerous, -- nm - loosilu Apr 30, 16:44 8
    - necrotizing fasciitis is bacteria as well, right? -- nm - Beryllium Apr 30, 16:45 3
      - You have Necrofascist? -- nm - Redmond (I'm Swine Flu Bait) Apr 30, 16:48
      - yes, that's flesh-eating disease. -- nm - loosilu Apr 30, 16:47 1
        
        i had that once...but then fish became too pricy -- nm - Danedukenuuk Apr 30, 16:58
    - or staph....or the other "hospital" bacterias..no more surgery with a risk under 50% -- nm - Danedukenuuk Apr 30, 16:45
    - Ebola!!! Run!! -- nm - Redmond (I'm Swine Flu Bait) Apr 30, 16:45 2
      - Ebola is a virus. -- nm - loosilu Apr 30, 16:45 1
        
        I just got here. I didn't know we were on Bacteria1 board. -- nm - Redmond (I'm Swine Flu Bait) Apr 30, 16:46
I noticed today that I'm not really afraid of Swine Flu anymore. At least until there starts being deaths outside of Mexico. - ty97 Apr 30, 16:36 10
- "I am going to get you my pretty, and your little dog too" -- nm - Wicked Swine Flu of the South Apr 30, 16:43
- I think it is merely a question of scale. The outbreak in Mexico is far bigger so there is more opportunity for extreme cases. It's the bell curve. -- nm - loosilu Apr 30, 16:39 3
  - Catherine Bell has nice curves. -- nm - Redmond (I'm Swine Flu Bait) Apr 30, 16:50
  - It's tough to know for sure, since almost all of the numbers from Mexico (both death and not death) are unconfirmed -- nm - ty97 Apr 30, 16:48 1
    - yes. and we don't have numbers for the US either, really. testing has just started. -- nm - loosilu Apr 30, 16:50
- SWINEFLU! SWINEFLU! SWINEFLU! SWINEFLU! SWINEFLU! SWINEFLU! SWINEFLU! SWINEFLU! SWINEFLU! SWINEFLU! SWINEFLU! SWINEFLU! SWINEFLU! SWINEFLU!!!!!!!!!!!! -- nm - 24 Hour News Networks Apr 30, 16:39
- I heard a couple kids in Texas died.... - Dr.Vermin Apr 30, 16:38 1
  - I've only heard of one death, in Houston, of a child from Mexico that was treated in Houston. -- nm - ty97 Apr 30, 16:47
- There have been US deaths. Only a few, but still. -- nm - TWuG Apr 30, 16:37 1
  - One, that I've heard of. Unfortunate as it is, it was a toddler that came from Mexico. -- nm - Mop (236 lbs) Apr 30, 16:38
the confusion? one makes you poop, one makes your skin fall off. -- nm - Beryllium Apr 30, 16:34 6
- sex with dignan vs sex with pixie? -- nm - loosilu Apr 30, 16:35 3
  - I really like this!!! -- nm - Redmond Apr 30, 16:43 2
    - you like having sex with pixie and dignan? -- nm - Beryllium Apr 30, 16:44 1
      - I thought they were myths like Loch Ness and Sasquatch. -- nm - Redmond (I'm Swine Flu Bait) Apr 30, 16:51
- oh, I'll take that first one! -- nm - ty97 Apr 30, 16:35 1
  - both are bacterial. (This sounds like an episode of "The Scary Door", doesn't it? :)) -- nm - Beryllium Apr 30, 16:35
I get that much Bery, but I don't really get the difference between bacteria and viruses. - ty97 Apr 30, 16:33 41
- thats not true - Danedukenuuk Apr 30, 16:37 21
  - some bacteria are critical to our survival ("good" bacteria in the intestines) -- nm - loosilu Apr 30, 16:42 20
    - yes and who really want to say goddbye to all wine???? -- nm - Danedukenuuk Apr 30, 16:44 19
      - YEAST IS NOT BACTERIA!!! -- nm - loosilu Apr 30, 16:44 18
        
        there is yeast in wine? -- nm - Danedukenuuk Apr 30, 16:46 11
        
        ahh i thought you meant the stuff in beer :) -- nm - Danedukenuuk Apr 30, 16:48 2
        
        wine, beer, bread. all made with yeast. -- nm - loosilu Apr 30, 16:48 1
        
        breadwine??? beerbread?? winebeer?? -- nm - Danedukenuuk Apr 30, 16:51
        
        alcohol is yeast-poop, right? -- nm - Beryllium Apr 30, 16:47 7
        
        yeast farts. -- nm - loosilu Apr 30, 16:47 6
        
        oh, right, my bad. I had forgotten the technical term. -- nm - Beryllium Apr 30, 16:48
        
        wait no. CO2 is yeast farts. -- nm - loosilu Apr 30, 16:48 4
        
        yeast kills the environment - Danedukenuuk Apr 30, 16:56 1
        
        It also kills the mood. -- nm - Redmond (I'm Swine Flu Bait) Apr 30, 16:57
        
        hmm. You misled me, loosi lemon. (I guess alcohol is yeast-pee, then?) -- nm - Beryllium Apr 30, 16:49 1
        
        yeast can't poop, so yes. -- nm - loosilu Apr 30, 17:02
        
        what about cheeses? -- nm - the liioulu without donuts Apr 30, 16:46 5
        
        Cheeses is my personal savior. -- nm - loosilu Apr 30, 16:50
        
        yougurt -- nm - Danedukenuuk Apr 30, 16:49
        
        MOLD! -- nm - Redmond (I'm Swine Flu Bait) Apr 30, 16:49 2
        
        That's the blue stuff. -- nm - the liioulu without donuts Apr 30, 16:51
        
        real answer: sometimes bacteria, sometimes mold, sometimes enzymes. -- nm - loosilu Apr 30, 16:50
- bacteria are single celled organism. viruses are basically protein gone bad. - Reagen Apr 30, 16:35 15
  - ... and then factor in prions ... -- nm - Beryllium Apr 30, 16:36 1
    - Creutzfeldt-Jakob! -- nm - TWuG Apr 30, 16:37
  - viruses are hijackers. They don't have their own planes, they need to steal one. -- nm - loosilu Apr 30, 16:36 12
    - they are all members of Al-Qaida? -- nm - Danedukenuuk Apr 30, 16:38 1
      - Viruses are part of the Axis of Evil. heh heh heh... -- nm - Dubya Apr 30, 16:40
    - yeah, exactly. And that's why your body needs training camps to deal with them. -- nm - Beryllium Apr 30, 16:36 9
      - very nice!!! and your body needs to be trained against each specific one. -- nm - loosilu Apr 30, 16:40 8
        
        so you basically get like your own internal Delta Force with special training in intraorgan combat, flu preparedness, and ebola limbo. - Beryllium Apr 30, 16:43 7
        
        could be staph. -- nm - loosilu Apr 30, 16:45 6
        
        It just itches. I had got a giant blister from the oar, and it ruptured; now it's healed over, but it's a bit red and itchy. -- nm - Beryllium Apr 30, 16:46 5
        
        Or it's healing slowly because it's on a part of your body that gets a lot of use and you keep mildly reinjuring it. -- nm - the liioulu without donuts Apr 30, 16:50 1
        
        Quite possible. I do agitate it at least once a day when it gets really itchy. -- nm - Beryllium Apr 30, 16:51
        
        my friend Catie got a staph infection from a little blister. Her entire leg blew up like a balloon. -- nm - loosilu Apr 30, 16:49 2
        
        did she float away? - Beryllium Apr 30, 16:49 1
        
        on a stretcher. she was fine. -- nm - loosilu Apr 30, 16:51
- aha! bacteria is a primitive live cell that divides and makes colonies. A virus is not alive. It's a string of DNA or RNA with a protein coat, - loosilu Apr 30, 16:34
- Heheh, yeah, I was trying to say that it's hard to tell :) -- nm - Beryllium Apr 30, 16:34
- One is really *really* tiny. -- nm - Mop (236 lbs) Apr 30, 16:34
/me sprays some ionized water on swine flu. -- nm - Mop (236 lbs) Apr 30, 16:32 2
- I'm gonna have to run a chemistry class right after loosi's bio. -- nm - Reagen Apr 30, 16:34 1
  - yes please. -- nm - loosilu Apr 30, 16:41
