[My Name is Immaterial]

I need to start watching this series o.O

That was a pretty great episode, but some are rather... lackluster. I liked Eccleston best myself. His cheese wasn't sorry for being cheesy. He didn't need to much around with a HUGE canon that conflicted with most of what the writers wanted to do with the show.

I maintain my stance that we should make Malaria the next major eradication target, after the last Polio and Dracunculiasis are dealt with (which is probably under five years off). The earlier efforts had severe environmental consequences, of course, but we've made major strides since then.....major strides.

Yup, we got antimosquito lasers, and also genetically modified mosquito's. (Male mosquito's modified so that any offspring will be stillborn, which can create tremendous competition if released in the wild en masse)

Problem with malaria is that if some beasts manage to escape the nets, they could come back with devastating force, since everybody lost their immunity.

Been playing D&D lately. A new addition to the group (an otherwise normal girl) thinks it's morally acceptable to set random peasants on fire, forcefeed the charred remains as children, and then use the children to search for traps.
Everyone else in the group: "That's awesome!"

I invented a game, Brutal, where the players were rewarded for this sort of behaviour.

It is perhaps the worst thing I've done.

Still better than FATAL.

Hasn't happened in post-eradication regions yet.

We should probably avoid killing off all mosquitoes in the process of dealing with malaria, which is my main problem with the mosquito-killer angle of development. That action could have unforeseen consequences. Bereft of malaria the mosquitoes are not really an issue, as seen in post-eradication areas, where they have gone from deadly threat to....annoying.

I am out of cat food.  So I gave the cat a couple tablespoons of actual real (chopped up) chicken.   She looked at me like I'm crazy. I just looked at the bowl and it's still sitting there untouched a few hours later.

WTF is wrong with my cat?

Did you grill the chicken with a blending of herbs and seasonings first?

Cats have favorite foods just like humans. They refuse to eat anything else for the most part. The end result is you should go get your kitty something she is going to want to eat. My mother's Maine Coon likes popcorn by the way. He's cute when he eats it.

While getting back to the subject of various kinds of what-the-fuckery I present to Bay 12 the next big thing to hit the internet - people putting mustard in shoes and then putting said shoes into microwaves. Where do I find this stuff?

So the best solution would be GM mosquitoes with resistance to malaria?

have you been to 4chan or something? Though, this seems pretty stupid even by /b/ standards.

[Greiger]

The odd bit is she's an outdoor cat that clearly knows how to hunt, I've seen her with dead birds before.  I would think chicken without all the feathers would taste similar to sparrow. (or whatever that bird was she caught a few months ago.)

Shoe Mustard

I thought they were emptying out bottles of mustard into shoes and microwaving them.  But no, it's not nearly that sane.  You have topped my WTF good sir.

I browse 4chan at least three to six times a day and have done so since around 2007. Believe me when I say there is more inane what-the-fuckery on said anonymous imageboard than just people putting bottles of mustard into shoes and then putting said shoes into the microwave.

Then I have done my good deed for the day by enlightening you to such a thing. I shall now go play with my gnome wizard. No that is not a euphemism, I play a gnome wizard in Everquest.

If we could pull that off, maybe. We managed to purge malaria from areas without exterminating mosquitoes before, using much cruder methods.

Don't want to get too high-tech on this. The best solution will be something that's effective enough and easily distributed. Just considering effectiveness will lead to an excellent and very advanced upgrade in malaria defense in the post-eradication regions and almost nothing in places that actually still have malaria.

For example, we probably could have made GM water fleas that won't carry Dracunculiasis and will outbreed their infected brethren, but filtered straws are a hell of a lot easier to spread.

I've just found something even more asinine.

That's nothing new. Gawker doesn't know what they're talking about, the casuals. Disregard that, my computer can't even play the video so I don't even know what I'm talking about. Still, fuck Gawker with phosphorous-laced buckshot out of the end of a sawed-off shotgun.
