microbiologists found that showerheads and toothbrushes are teeming with an extremely diverse collection of viruses -- most of which have never been seen before.
Altogether, the samples comprised more than 600 different viruses -- and no two samples were alike.
"Microbes are everywhere, and the vast majority of them will not make us sick," she said. "The more you attack them with disinfectants, the more they are likely to develop resistance or become more difficult to treat. We should all just embrace them."

The chloronitramide anion, chemically expressed as Cl–N–NO2−, is a compound formed as a byproduct of the decomposition of inorganic chloramines used in drinking water disinfection.
It has been found in chloraminated drinking water samples,
The compound has been known to form in chloraminated drinking water since the 1980s, but its structure was not definitively identified until 2024.
Its toxicity is currently unknown, it is of concern due to its prevalence and similarity to other toxic compounds

@MentORPHEUS looks like you used the /# for that. The /# will affect the entire paragraph every time.
If you want to bold just a portion of a paragraph, use the ** at the beginning and end of whichever phrase or clause you want.
You've been on reddit since like 2010, and you didn't know this?
have some vcards!
Rush declared repeatedly that he was possessed of "talent on loan from God "
If you listened to him as much you claim to have, you'd have to have heard him explain that joke thousands of times.
Life is temporary. God is the source of his talent. Therefore, his talent was on loan from God.
My mom thought this was hubristic on Rush's part as well, and much like you, the explanation did nothing to assuage her hate-boner.
[Rush's not seeking help]
...premium we supposedly place on personal agency.
You do realize that addicts cease thinking for themselves, and that the chemical dependency takes over, right? His personal agency was compromised, and again, through no original fault of his own. He trusted instructions from an authority figure: a doctor.
The heroin junkies he was talking about, again, exercised personal agency to use and abuse a substance widely known to be addictive and widely known to be illegal.
Big difference. Important distinction.
But your personal animosity towards him blinds you to that, and so you just relish in his suffering much like all those sickos who celebrated when Charlie Kirk was murdered.

@Typo-MAGAshiv you're missing my fundamental point, that Rush fell out of the fundamental attribution error tree and hit every branch of it on the way down; and reinforced and baked this into American Right Wing culture, to the advantage of his ratings but to the harm of right culture's capacity for empathy and compassion, on the condition of individuals' membership in their conservative tribe.
There's the actor-observer bias, where your personal and tribal tribal foibles get dismissed as circumstantial and reactive, while those of the entire outgroup get attributed to intrinsic and intractable moral and character flaws.
This reinforced and metastasized the reflex to presume everyone on "the Left" is irrational and unreachable to their core, acting as a thought and effort terminating barrier to understanding the positions and their underlying reasons of everyone outside the ingroup of conservative Republicans.
A comorbidity is the Just World hypothesis where everyone outside the ingroup bubble inherently "deserves " bad circumstances that befall them, while hypocritically carving out special exemptions for Ingroup members. Rush declared repeatedly that he was possessed of "talent on loan from God " which reinforces this bias.
So no, I absolutely do NOT have a solitary mitigating fuck to give Limbaugh, who KNEW Doctor Shopping in conspiracy with a third party personal assistant was illegal, and did it anyway to get The Precious opioids, rather than seek help through legitimate channels that were available to him at the 99th percentile of the population at large due to his massive wealth.
Yet a large measure of his shtick, was to brook NO such humanizing compassion for the masses, that their shortcomings and foibles weren't forgivable due to external circumstances like a legal and medical system stacked against their favor and corrupt players within that, but PERSONAL flaws they held full agency over but casually CHOSE the less ethical options.
This conversation seems particularly poignant, happening in this community given the premium we supposedly place on personal agency.
