@Yash25571056 Many chose the legacy of a loser, didn't they? Depriving millions of forty years of evidenced based medicine related to HIV as they "Solve ME/CFS" instead of save lives. Image
@Yash25571056 There's the hallmark of a chronic HIV infection, is it not?
"Lymphocyte (including CD4+ T cell, CD8+ T cell, B cell) and NK cell counts are significantly reduced in peripheral blood in COVID-19 pneumonia for both mild and critical cases."
@Yash25571056 The article mentions the elevation of CXCL1. In the HIV+, it is HIV's gp120 that permits the infection of CD4 cells through a reliance upon heparan sulfate.

The s3x life of ancient Egyptians.

A Thread! Image
1. The ancient Egyptians didn’t care if a woman was a virgin or not.

To be precise, they didn’t even have a word for a virgin. Premarital sex was acceptable as long as it was practiced between two unmarried people.
Once married, the couple had to remain faithful to each other. The Egyptian society didn’t tolerate adultery.

Adulterous behavior resulted in a divorce. However, the punishment could be also whipping, mutilation, or even death. Image

Russian strike drones hit a passenger train in Ukraine’s Kharkiv region. If we call things by their names, this was another act of terrorism.

As of now, 4 people are confirmed dead. 1/
In any country in the world, a drone strike on a civilian train would be classified the same way — as a terrorist attack.

There is no military objective, and there can be none, in killing civilians inside a train car. 2/
More than 200 people were on board the train. In the car hit by one of the Russian drones, there were 18 passengers. 3/

#SupremeCourt continues hearing the #StrayDogs case

Bench: Justices Vikram Nath, Sandeep Mehta and NV Anjaria

To recap, the Bench is primarily examining the issue of stray dogs in institutional premises

Intervenors (dog lovers and NGOs) pray for modification of the Court's earlier directions, so that stray dogs are released in the same area from where they are picked up

Victims' side has argued inter-alia for removal of stray dogs from residential complexes/housing societiesImage
Sr Adv Gaurav Aggarwal (Amicus): In my note, I have addressed 4 aspects...Functioning of ABC centres...court said there have to be dog pounds...identification of highways and prevention of ingress of cattle...

Amicus gives state-wise data starting with Andhra Pradesh

Amicus: State should audit existing facilities...setting up of further ABC centres can be done in phase wise manner...it can consider having a timeline. Capacity is fully utilized

J Mehta: Any indication about budgetary allocation?
Amicus: 14000 institutions have been identified...1145 stray dogs have been shifted...it is suggested that states should take help in identifying stray dogs in educational institutions...there should be linking with dog pounds...204 stretches of highways identified...414 cattle shifted to pound shelter

Counsel for AP (in response to court query): We have no objection to the suggestions

Amicus (on Assam): Assam has 3 Municipal Corporations. they should be first priority. ABC centres are inadequate. State should give action plan

J Mehta: Why not increase capacity also? 6 is [nothing]

Amicus: Assam needs to take more effective measures.

Means u unfollow/unfriend & move on and not STALK. Which u do. That's a part of the cycle or game. I KNOW U. And that u love me. Get pissed spam like ur doing now. Say mean things to hurt at max velocity. Withhold communication for control and hurt...Yada yada yada. 1 Image
You also know there was no communication for 5 years. Im a survivor. I broke my part of this cycle by leaving things open. By retreating a week. I say really mean shit when mad and burn bridges. So that's why. But I extended an olive branch. You do u. 2
Im sticking with folks that actively communicate. Your welcome to stay stuck in that cycle. Nothing I can do about that, Im too busy,like 5 years ago. Things are not the same here, or even on your side. Because the cycle you knew on my side ended.. 3

A classic AI supply-chain story 👌🏾👌🏾

Everyone talks about Nvidia when it comes to AI.
But behind every powerful AI chip are companies that make the tools and memory that chips can’t exist without.

Two of my biggest winners so far: ASML & Micron Technology. Image

2 of 5
🧠 ASML builds the ultra-advanced machines used to manufacture the world’s most powerful semiconductors.

No ASML = no cutting-edge chips
They basically have a near-monopoly on the tech needed for AI processors

Think of ASML as the “picks and shovels” of the AI gold rush Image
3 of 5
💾 Micron Technology makes memory and storage chips (DRAM & NAND).

AI systems don’t just need processing power , they need massive, ultra-fast memory to train and run models.

As AI grows ➡️ data grows ➡️ demand for memory explodes.

That’s why Micron has surged. Image

THREAD: Speaking in Tel Aviv on 23 January, Gad Saad ridiculed the idea that Gabor Maté, who was born in Nazi-occupied Budapest in 1944, could be a Holocaust survivor.
To be sure, there is a general and a more restrictive interpretation of “Holocaust survivor”. The more general one considers any Jew who managed to remain alive under Nazi rule during the Second World War to be a Holocaust survivor. This definition is often expanded to also include any Jew who successfully managed to escape from territory under Nazi rule.
The more restrictive understanding comprises only Jews who were captured by the Germans and their allies yet managed to elude death. These are typically former concentration camp inmates.
