Lord Liaden Posted May 12, 2022 Report Share Posted May 12, 2022 In the Champions Universe, the center of the Milky Way isn't a black hole, but the seat of a Corelord, a cosmic entity responsible for maintaining the integrity of its galaxy.

assault Posted May 13, 2022 Report Share Posted May 13, 2022 The guy who made that koala video really has us rumbled. It's only a matter of time until he disproves the entire existence of Australia, and I'll have to get another job. He even spotted the KingGee clue.

Lord Liaden Posted May 13, 2022 Report Share Posted May 13, 2022 Somebody needs to bring a live koala to his door, and film him when he sees it. I'll lay odds now he'll claim it's animatronic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

unclevlad Posted May 13, 2022 Report Share Posted May 13, 2022 21 hours ago, Logan.1179 said: Researchers Pinpoint Reason Infants Die From SIDS That is awesome. The mechanism makes perfect sense, too. One of the links from that article is to this one: https://www.biospace.com/article/eli-lilly-deals-another-blow-to-diabetes-with-latest-fda-approval-/ And I also noted, at the bottom of that story, this: Quote For Lilly, the approval of Mounjaro comes two days after the FDA gave full approval to its COVID-19 treatment Olumiant, which had previously been greenlit under Emergency Use Authorization. A Janus kinase inhibitor, Olumiant is used to treat hospitalized COVID-19 patients who require supplemental oxygen, extracorporeal membrane oxygen (ECMO), or the use of a ventilator. Olumiant was given full approval based on the Phase-III Adaptive COVID-19 Treatment Trial 2 (ACTT-2) and COV-Barrier clinical trials. I note that it's a drug to help with relatively severe cases...sounds like it's a hospital-only treatment...but still, that's a start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
