Welding is awesome, one of the manliest proffessions out there!

The new Wiki project is all kinds of awesome : http://en.wikivoyage.org/wiki/Main_Page

Now I'm planning a bunch of trips to places I've discovered. Also awesome is that there are actual contacts listed for give activities (like say touring the exclusion zone) with short info on what each agency provides and for what general price.

Man I love the internet and the stuff it makes sometimes

Speaking of manly... Gleeful smiles this afternoon.

I don't think people need HIV to test if you get sick of the vaccine.

That was Phase I. Now they need to see if it actually works.

Extract the blood, mesure the rate of lymphocyte corresponding to the vaccine, and test that with the virus. There's no need to infect people with the HIV. The only risks are disease from the original vaccine, but since that's been tested out, it's harmless.
But considering the very nature of HIV, I doubt that a vaccine could do more than just limiting or slowing the infection. I fear the vaccine itself could be crushed by the virus.
My brother voluntereed himself for some vaccines (although not HIV), and he never got sick. But that's probably because he never ever got sick.

Well, my roommates weren't doing anything useful as usual. Andrew was away, Antonio was sleeping, Don is nocturnal and Lamar was taking a break from watching Fox News to sleep. Furthermore I was in one of my moods where I plot World War 4, which ends up with [EXPUNGED] and the bombing of [EXPUNGED] back into the Stone Age happening alongside the extermination of all [REDACTED], [REDACTED], [REDACTED] and Scientologists. I then decided to do what I normally do when I get like this.

Did I play Sid Meier's Civilization? No, I cleaned everything that I could think of like I was one of those catgirl maids that I want to own, love and start a family with. This involved cleaning most of the kitchen, part of the living room, emptying nine garbage cans, taking care of the recycling, salvaging some recycling from the dumpster, cleaning two bathrooms, washing some rags that a previous resident had soaked in his own urine, and moving half-a-dozen cans and buckets used to hold cigarettes back into the proper smoking area. I did what takes most of the residents at this assisted living facility a week to start and two weeks to finish in one hour. Then again most of them are lazy unhygenic fuckwits who spend their days smoking, gossiping, and having schizophrenic delusions about both their penis and Jesus at the same time.

After that I spoke to Mike, my landlord, and told him about the situation and asked questions on whether it was okay for Andrew to have claimed both the coffee table and the dining room table for his artwork, his computer, and his DVDs. Not only did Mike say he would discuss this with all twenty or so of the residents at the weekly mandatory meeting next week, but he gave me two dollars so I could get an energy drink. I have the best landlord ever so far, which is really what I'm trying to say I'm happy about.

I wish my schizophrenic delusions were as weird or silly as that. Then again I'm kinda imagining jesuspenis.

Now that I've gotten it to work properly, new iTunes is actually pretty cool.

First I was hesitant to add this quote to the OoC thread. Then you edited in the second sentence. Heheheheh

In lab rat tests, SAV001-confired immunity could hold off 100x the infection threshold of HIV, injected directly in to the rat's muscles, a year after they were vaccinated.

Well, that's rather awesome.

That vaccine stuff sounds pretty awesome.

Also, I beat Deus Ex last night. Damn fine game, and nearly 40 hours of entertainment (in one playthrough) for the chump change I spent on it makes it almost as good a deal as Skyrim was by the same metric. Now I'm playing Human Revolution, and trying to get as many Ghost achievements as I can, without killing anyone. It's satisfying.

I'll stock up on HIV needles filled with 101x the infection threshold then, thanks for warning me.


No, but that's actually pretty cool. Sounds like it's effective immunity. Now we need to get it cheap enough to mass produce (easy enough) and get people who give a shit to ship it to Africa at a loss (significantly less easy).

[MetalSlimeHunt]

Once you've got the vaccine down costs aren't very high. A single dose of polio vaccine costs $.10 and is light enough to be shipped by the hundreds of thousands without much cost or space. There will be plenty of organizations willing to pay for distribution if it works out.
