    Shame no one brought up cable bacteria. They do "group respiration" where they share the responsibility of electron exchange using long strings of them lined up where the ones higher in the soil have access to oxygen or sulfur to do the electron exchange for respiration. It's kind of a unique thing and a relatively new discovery. It's one of those that makes mud stink.

    The man speaks the truth. Our "zombie" movies nowadays are really just extreme outbreaks of a mutated rabies. A zombie originally was something that was mindless in the sense that it could be controlled, as a slave, by the person who reanimated it. The first 'modern' zombie movie was Night of the Living Dead but that film never said the word zombie once. People later on for some genuinely unknown reason started calling the monsters in it zombies years after it was released. Something like 28 Days Later is just turbo rabies.

    That C Diff is no joke. My potassium got to 1.6 (3.5 is low) and I couldn't walk. 4 days in ICU. I lost 5 stone over the next 2 years and got a 2.4 potassium level with partial liver failure indicated by ascites on the second round. Over a year now and all is good. Gaining weight and no ascites (they waited 6 months to give me a paracentesis for some reason),. The intrusion of the ascites through my diaphragm into my chest cavity wasn't good enough for them to give me a paracentesis, which is recommended by the NIH for all new cases of ascites. I got a hernia 6 months later as the ascites penetrated my abdomen. Then the emergency room doctor recommended a paracentesis which cured the ascites.

      ​@@peterc4082 Idk if we can call TB cured. Yes there are antibiotics available which can treat it, but you need to take a cocktail of these for about a year to fully remove the infection.
      Considering the rate at which antibiotic resistance is advancing, how many years do we have before we can no longer treat TB? A couple decades at best, is my guess.
      We need to focus more on prevention-based methods for combating this terrible disease.

    Microwaves don’t operate on heat, nor do they “get hot”. But MORE importantly, your microwave does NOT distribute its radiation evenly inside. It has beams that point and shoot in very specific directions inside. Some areas inside get very little radiation exposure. It’s primarily focused straight at the center. That’s why most microwaves have a turnstile inside.
