That kind of shlit only works on Finding abd The King...

Oratory skills only a teleprompter could love... right Finding?

The Kremlin confirmed that Putin puppet Trump gave Russia covid PCR instruments because they want to help Trump win... as always.... These TDS pretzels are making me thirsty. -
Four friggin minutes of this pathetic Marxist line.

Well he is Quack, MD after all... Quack is right about one thing. I don't have time to do any of that development work anymore. I now sell instruments, reagents and my consulting time to the scientists doing that type of work. Much better use of my time and it leaves me extra time many days to post here and send him into TDS rage posting. So I've got that going for me, which is nice.

π Tell us all about your monoclonal antibody development experience Quack. Maybe your Quack MD skills would come in handy harvesting mouse splenocytes to fuse with myeloma cells, but that's about all you'd be good for. We need to screen those hybridomas then make some ascites! After that tell us about what type of conjugation chemistry did you use to tether your candidate antibodies to the colloidal gold? Monoclonal or polyclonal capture antibodies on the nitrocellulose? We need high specificity, can't be having false positives now. How are your primer design skills? Pretty rusty I'll bet. Utilize that sterile technique... RNAses everywhere.... And don't forget the reverse transcriptase in your master mix! You're a clown!

I've developed molecular (PCR) and immunological (lateral flow) POC tests for influenza and RSV from the ground up. Patents, publications, presentations at conferences..... the whole nine yards. The principle behind these tests are EXACTLY the same as with covid. Quack and Finding, as usual, can fuk.c off because they have zero clue about how any of this works. But they're experts!!! π

AOC the expert climatologist bartender gets wrecked by actual science. Hi there, @AOC. π You seem to like science. So, I figured I would give ya an education about this topic. π I took the liberty to plot the Gulf of Mexico (GoM) sea surface temperature anomaly (SSTA) for June-August (JJA) for the period 1900 to 2023. The base period used for this analysis is 1991-2020 and JJA was used because that is what the SSTs are to work with in the GoM going into North Atlantic peak hurricane season (August-October) and SSTs are slow to change due to water's high heat capacity. π‘οΈ I'll drop the link to the KNMI Climate Explorer for you to reproduce this chart at your own will. Give that a lil' click-sy and knock yourself out. π«³ πclimexp.knmi.nl/start.cgi (the bounding box I used was 20-30Β°N, 80-100Β°W) The diamonds overlain represent instances when a major hurricane (i.e., a tropical cyclone with maximum sustained wind speeds of β₯111 mph according to the Saffir-Simpson hurricane wind scale) formed in the GoM. Some years have more than major hurricane in the Gulf, so they're represented by one dot. A total of 75 hurricanes have either formed or tracked through the GoM since 1900.* Of those 75, 40 (53.3%) formed with SSTAs πππππ the 1991-2020 mean. That's more than half of the subset. * πππ‘π, πΌ ππ₯πππ’πππ π»π’ππππππππ π΄π’ππππ¦ (1957) πππ π΄πππ (1966) π ππππ π‘βππ¦ ππππππ ππ π½π’ππ. What we can conclude from this analysis is that the formation of major hurricanes in the Gulf of Mexico is not contingent on warming SSTs. The Gulf gets warm enough every year to sustain a major hurricane, even of category four or five status. So, higher SSTs aren't going to add much additional effect, especially if you consider the fact tropical cyclone kinematics require far more environmental parameters to be favorable in order for a major hurricane to form (e.g., pre-existing disturbance, low deep-layer [200-850 hPa] vertical wind shear and no dry air / Saharan dust). You are oversimplifying a very complex issue that you have little understanding about. You may have been a good bartender, but you make a poor atmospheric scientist. π
