Sometimes I wonder at the contrast between the gun laws in the US and something like this story... It's worth reading the entirety of this imgur postAs one of the thread comments says, there's a mixture of the truth and "the truth" in this article, but one thing its gotten right is that there are a whole bunch of Soviet era drugs and research we've just ignored because of the cold war. Some of the researchers I've worked with have cottoned on to this and we've studied a fair slew of former soviet block pharmaceuticals over the last few years. |

Interesting story; there's a somewhat less mawkish account published in 2017, with more detail and less hyperbole, though it's still rather sentimental: health.ucsd.edu/news/releases/Pages/2017-04-25-novel-phage-therapy-saves-patient-with-multidrug-resistant-bacterial-infection.aspxEvery article I've read on phage therapy in the last 20 years has presented it as an amazing new idea that Western medicine has previously overlooked and we're only now properly looking into it. |

Can death actually ‘live’ up to anything? You have presented us with an existential oxymoron….. H. P. Lovecraft quote: "That is not dead that can eternal lie", "Yet through strange aeons even death may die". Translation, hell if I know! |

I'm ashamed to admit I've never read an article on phage therapy.

Why is that woman holding a picture of a willy with legs?
Bit random.

Why is that woman holding a picture of a willy with legs? Bit random. Most willies have legs. And also a torso with a head and arms above the legs. Not quite like that willy's legs, but who are we to judge? I'm ashamed to admit I've never read an article on phage therapy. It's not too late to start. |

I tried to eat a packet of KP Discos Salt n Vinegar flavour last night, it was not quite the buffet that Tuffers promised. |

I'm not phage curious.
Hello.
I played a bit of Ghost of Tooshie and a little Crew2. PS5 needs a decent arcade racing game that isn't GT. Might try new grid. Can play the demo on the pc and see if any good.
We watched Blackish & started Physical S2. Awful main people in Physical - but does entertain.

It's worth reading the entirety of this imgur postI'm really disappointed to find she hadn't taken a really small gun and shot each bacterium individually until her husband got better. That is what a true American would have done. |

Morning
It's already too hot. I've invoked Operation Save Tuff-Tuff and got the parasols up and eaten brekkers outside.
I'm now going to attempt to construct a hammock.
OTTM, booze has run dry so need to fix that at some point. I do have some Bavaria shandies in the fridge to keep me hydrated til tonight. Also considering a walk to butchers.
It's all go.

Afternoon all.
As I sat down this evening in front of the telly, I fancied a drink. A cold, crisp session ale, like Ghost Ship. But I only had red wine.
Alas.
TVblog: finally finished the first series of Only Murders in the Building. And caught up with The Orville.

Get the Salty Kiss in.
Toasted sourdough with smoked salmon pate and salad for lunch.
