  • So one of the reasons asbestos is so dangerous is that it gets in your lungs where macrophages detect it as being foreign and try to destroy it. The issue is that asbestos is way larger than these cells and it’s pretty resilient so they can’t break it apart and eat it. The cells "get frustrated " so they start releasing inflammatory substances trying to find a way to neutralize this foreign body. That prolonged inflammation is what eventually leads to mesothelioma and other cancers.

    I’m not sure how they plan to avoid the inflammation caused by these cells being in constant fighting infection mode.









  • So the EU did an impact study that found that adopting open source software would both add to GDP and encourage economic growth and this guy just went: Nah, it wouldn’t, just trust me.

    Even if adopting open source software would cost me money I would still encourage my EU representatives to push for it just so we are free from any foreign meddling. Open source software brings transparency, anyone can check what’s in it and there’s potentially millions of eyes looking it over, which makes it very difficult for unwanted code to be sneaked in. It also prevents shit like blocking ICC judges from using certain software and services because Trump asked US companies to do it.





  • I find it kind of ironic that there is a dark cabal of elites that are involved in trafficking children, trading torture videos and various other despicable deeds and we have actual physical proof of its existence but all the Q-anon conspiracy people are just not making a fuss about it. Guess it only matters when the cabal is not made up from people on your team.
