That naming does makes sense, given what the treatment does, although I agree they really need to work on their marketing and come up with a term that won't cause confusion or get the anti-vax folk excitable.
From the article:
"A typical vaccine teaches the human immune system to recognize a virus or bacteria as an enemy that should be attacked. The new “inverse vaccine” does just the opposite: it removes the immune system’s memory of one molecule. While such immune memory erasure would be unwanted for infectious diseases, it can stop autoimmune reactions like those seen in multiple sclerosis, type I diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis, or Crohn’s disease, in which the immune system attacks a person’s healthy tissues."
I get unexplainable joy watching scammers get scammed on YouTube.
My favourite scam scammer is kitboga.
Are you going up, though?
Or barely treading water as life keeps throwing obstacles at you?
Yeah, those numbers are very questionable.
But it's a good cause, and every bit helps, with possibly a significant difference in the local areas targeted.
As much as I despise Facebook, if you're interested in solar, electricity and generally improving the performance of your home, you should check out the 'My Efficient Electric Home' (MEEH) group.
No worries. I don't think anyone here is expecting a word for word transcript.
Your editorialising is part of the appeal.
I don't really want to hear about Mr Smith and his complaints about his wheely bin.
Loving these write-ups!
You manage to capture the content and the vibe.
I was keen to try Sync but, after I saw my first ads on Lemmy with it and then saw the cost to remove them, I uninstalled.
I'm actually really happy with Connect, which has everything I want and for free.
Yeah, what the fuck is with that?
Surely it takes just as many employees to operate three cars.
Are a whole lot undergoing maintenance?
Solastalgia (/ˌsɒləˈstældʒə/) is a neologism, formed by the combination of the Latin words sōlācium (comfort) and the Greek root -algia (pain, suffering, grief), that describes a form of emotional or existential distress caused by environmental change.

So that's what I've been feeling lately.
There are lots of nice places to visit and stay up the coast, but I don't have experience living there. It's worth keeping in mind that holidaying and living in a place are very different things and we tend to look at holiday locations through a different lens.
On the other hand, if you want something like the coastal lifestyle, but within commuting distance to Brisbane City, have a look at Shorncliffe, Sandgate, Brighton and the Redcliffe Peninsula. Prices will typically decrease in that order, as you get further North. Shorncliffe and Sandgate are on the train line, which is always a positive and Redcliffe has a different line, although the station for that is away from the nicer coastal suburbs.
I'd recommended a day trip to the Shorncliffe Pier, where there is a little beach (although probably too cold to paddle in for your young one at the moment), a great playground (which is unfortunately currently closed for repairs), but plenty of fish and chips and ice cream to be had, or make use of the free BBQs.
From there, you can explore Sandgate town centre, and drive over the bridge to Redcliffe to have a look. There is a great artificial lagoon there, which is popular in summer.
Having moved to the Sandgate area a few years ago, I think it's a great balance of city services and coastal vibe, with nice small town feel and ready access on the motorway to the Sunshine Coast for weekend or holiday getaways.
