You're misunderstanding the core concept here. I'm not saying mRNA spontaneously becomes healthy, fully-functional non-coding RNA units. I'm saying if you force a huge number of random RNA sequences in there some of them might be just the right structure to foul the functions non-coding RNA normally perform.

It's not throwing a bunch of car parts into a tornado and getting a fully functional car. It's throwing a bunch of random screws and metal shapes into an automated production line and having the production line grind to a halt or even start producing defective units.

For example, randomly cleave the poly A end off an mRNA, and over-methylate the guanosine (enzymatically not easy to do by accident, but chemically it is, such as when you're trying to form a nanolipid delivery capsule under conditions completely atypical for normal biological systems.) and you could have something that looks enough like snRNA that it could potentially mess with transcription or transcription regulation in unforeseen ways.

Not so much the comics themselves but the character. Batman is still a staple of kids' toy sections and costumes.

It's not even the primary reason why. It's because the truth matters most, not whatever bullshit narrative fits the propaganda best.

Structurally they're the same building blocks, the difference in definitions is by outcome not structure. It's just what other structures they are keyed to interact with by the specifics of their sequence.

When it comes to hastily man-made analogues with dubious stability and an indeterminable number of unintended byproduct and partially broken sequences mixed in, having some unintended interactions similar to non-coding RNA is eminently possible.

The absolute delusion/deceit of these lunatics pretending DC has a problem specifically with Batman going down on a woman, rather than them having a problem with any kind of explicit sex scenes with their character heavily marketed towards children. They might allow implied sexual encounters, but if you want to create a screen cap of two fucking bat ears poking up between some woman's thighs they're probably gonna say no chief.

Them greenlighting an R-rated show under supervision doesn't mean carte blanche to take their character and roll him up in whatever depravity you want.

Now I can't discount what was said in the first sentence I wasn't there and certainly can't validate or verify those incidents - but it could happen.

That one message says it over 5 times. Personally I'm quite prepared to believe she can't count past 5.

My god that coconut woman talks so slow, listening to her is like taking a nail gun to the frontal cortex. That's the bigger crime than some stupid placard.

Turns out he also live streamed trying to sneak into North Korea this week.

This is the least amount of finding out this forgotten abortion could have acquired. The SK military should have pretended not to notice and let the finding out hit full speed instead of stopping him.

This isn't really news to anyone in biology, most of the discoveries listed here are a decade or more old. Non-coding RNA and epigenetics have been obvious black boxes for a while, hence all these actual scientists searching for and slowly finding answers to some of these unknowns over the last couple of decades.

But pop-sci publications and public-facing "experts" have conspicuously glossed over these potential unknowns, because it diminishes a priest's influence to simply say "I don't know".

Not sure if it's all one turbo schizo autard, or if we somehow have two or more equally illiterate retards clinging to our coattails now.

Hermen Hulst proudly claims to have been involved in TLoU2 and the TV adaptation, so that's a bad sign for any hope of a turnaround.

The Japanese guy just seems like a tech and hardware guy, but he's remained VP through Sony's decay to western queerdos, so I can imagine he's not been protesting strongly and some rot may even have rubbed off on him.

Yeah, if things collapse in the west there will be nowhere for them to leave to. No-one in their right mind will let their country fall into the same suicidal border policies once the example of their results is in their face.

Look at all the failed African and middle eastern states, historically their next step once the general affluence collapses has been to become slavers and petty warlords trying to hoard what little is left after they desolate the land with their parasitism. Not to leave.

The law outlines that prostitutes will receive health insurance, a pension, maternity and holiday leave, and unemployment benefits. Their pimps will be forced to provide them with a “safety button” to use for emergencies.

This pretty much.

If sex work is real work, then in real work you'll get written up for refusing to do the most unpleasant parts of your job contract. Unless you can prove it is unsafe before the tribunal.

There is a lot of redundancy in safety checks for flights. Both in personnel performance and mechanical maintenance. Right now we're seeing a big uptick in "minor" incidents (non-critical mechanical issues appearing, ATC near-misses/instruction error, piloting that strains the aircraft triggering repair checks), but fatal incidents are still extremely rare.

Incompetency is shaving deeper into that redundancy than it used to, but we haven't yet met the critical mass where errors frequently align enough to put lives in danger.

I've had to fly a few times recently myself and my only negative experience so far has been what seemed like a higher than used to be number of delays waiting for a runway, maybe indicating a few more minor unexpected things had gone wrong at the airport that day.

I did manage to stick with Airbuses though. Because fuck Boeing anyway, even if most of their planes still just about function they've still probably killed at least two innocent Americans on the ground.

Also I'm noticing a lack of "diversity" in this video, so I can only assume this is a racist hate ritual /s.

To be fair I don't know a single black or Latino woman who needed any help expressing her rage.

Good idea, instead of spending millions, why don't AIPAC just vote for candidates? Oh, right, foreign nationals can't vote...

Almost forgot about that gremlin. Just checked and he's still pumping out clickbait YouTube videos pretty much daily, most of the time for like 20 views.

Important takeaway here, for anyone given to whistleblowing or talking off the record. The only way they could have known is if they were snooping on her professional emails.

Even if you think the journalist you're talking to is ok, after vetting so strenuous I can't even imagine it. If they don't take their communication security extremely seriously you should presume you're talking to their corporate Stasi agent too.

The unsolved murder rate can be upwards of 30% in a big city and it's generally rising, and that's not even accounting for relative competency and how uncooperative the locals may be. Just saying the odds may not be untenable in the right context.

Also tapeworm in the brain is just an extremely unlikely and as far as I can imagine, uncontrollable, outcome of eating undercooked meat. Assassin's generally use tools that have better than 1/10000 chance of working.
