Don't forget Asian Carp

Not for a lack of trying to make them leave

Read the following article from just before legendary relics were released

https://www.guildwars2.com/en/news/legendary-relics-are-coming-soon/

dargon_

It came with the base relics unlocked, anything added via an expansion must be unlocked before you can use it

dargon_

Relics have to be unlocked before they are available in the legendary relic

Do the adventure a few times

A mouthful would definitely shsssh me ;)

Love them both

You mean meet with people who, as a group, have signs saying to hang him, complete with nooses. Even if he wanted to, I'm sure his security would veto that as too big a threat. Not to mention, who is he supposed to meet with? Put forth someone who isn't a raving lunatic as a person who can actually negotiate and have the others listen to them, oh wait, they don't have a person like that. The somewhat reasonable people in the occupation don't have enough people who would actually listen to them and the others are raving rageaholics who his security won't let him close to.

valid point :)

Not entirely impossible, but next to it. For example, if two people get in a fight one of which is HIV+ then there is a small chance of transmission of HIV. Person A punches person B causing an open wound on A and B and blood / other bodily fluids gets transferred from A -> B or B -> A there is a small chance of infection. It's very small, but it's still above 0.

Bolero, which has cannon sounds ;)

I'm still wondering how he got bail. He still owes Calgary a weekend in remand and then when that's done isn't he supposed to be going back east for 18 months in their grey bar hotel, and at some point he needs to make a trip to BC to answer for the assault charge. How does all these result in him being granted bail?

You can also use this site which works for both apple and android https://grassroots.vaccine-ontario.ca/

In which case, there should be a record of the gun being checked in

Hate to break it to you Bartuc, but reddit is also social media. That said, I do agree that most social media can be a toxic dump and should be avoided.

He probably pissed them off in a past life and is trying to make amends, they have a very long memory. ;)

Depends on how picky you are. I did preorder a radeon 6700 and got it, but the last couple times I've been in the store (NE), they've had a few video cards on the shelf, some new some older.

These guys do have a FB page but most of their posts do link back to twitter https://www.facebook.com/VaxHuntersAB/

One thing to know, remove the skunk and eventually another will move in, skunks are somewhat territorial and if they find an empty territory, they'll move in.

Given how the 2 main vaccines actually work, there isn't really that much to know, but here's a brief run down (I am not a biologist, just grade 12 biology, that's how simple this is). First though, before I start explaining pfizer and moderna, you should know that mRNA vaccines have actually been under development for about 50 years (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XPeeCyJReZw).

  1. The pfizer & moderna vaccines contain pieces mRNA (yes we can build these) surrounded by fat globules so they last long enough in your blood stream to get into your cells.
  2. using standard processes in your body, these fat balls are absorbed by your cells and then opened up, releasing the mRNA into your cell, much like when the DNA in the nucleus of your cell needs to produce something (for example a protein or a hormone that your body needs for day to day living) and releases it's own mRNA into the cell.
  3. This mRNA floats around in your cells until it bumps into the ribosomes in your cells, which read mRNA and treat it like a blueprint to build something, in this case a protein that looks exactly like the protein spikes on the outside of Covid-19.
  4. These proteins then leave the cell through standard cell processes and enter your blood stream where your immune system sees them and goes, "ALERT, THREAT DETECTED" and does it's thing to neutralize the threat, priming it for if/when it sees real Covid-19.
  5. After the ribosomes do their thing with the mRNA your body then destroys it, breaking it back down into its individual components to be reused later, or excreted through your waste disposal system.

There is no way for these vaccines to alter your cells in a permanent fashion, they just hijack your cell machinery for a very short period of time. In terms of computers, they are like if you run windows normally, but for about an hour today you need linux, so you just insert a bootable linux USB drive and run off that, when you're done you take the drive out, reboot your computer and you're right back to windows.

The thing is, we don't know where the virus came from, just where it was detected first. Is it likely that it came from China, sure. But Wuhan province is a big tourist destination in China, so it's also possible it originated someplace else and someone asymptomatic brought it there.

Just tried them recently, the steak I had was amazing.

While I don't think it should be outright banned (perhaps in Arena in BO1), I do think WotC messed up when they made the card. I've looked at other historic "take an extra turn" cards and none of them are as powerful as Nexus for these simple facts;

  1. many of them exile themselves once cast, so while you can have 4 of them, you can't continually recycle them.
  2. those that don't auto-exile have their own draw backs, ie sorcery not an instant, creature effect that states that creature can't attack during extra turns, enchantment that gets sacrificed, legendary sorcery, etc etc etc

Now what is the fix? I don't know. It is a problem though and I think WotC needs to come up with some sort of solution.

I had tried that at the time with no luck, however the problem fixed itself later in the day.
