I don't know how large scale you want, but large scale bioreactors are currently producing at all major breweries. Also, very likely at pharmaceutical companies. The problem of contamination is a problem for continuous reactors, but batch reactors with brewmasters to monitor and adjust conditions work great. Contamination generally will only affect one batch and you can isolate it and decon without compromising your entire production run.
Still expensive though. Multiply the cost of your favorite beer (5% abv perhaps) by 20 , then add more $$ for separation (which can be a continuous process) Maybe the cost would be more closely approximated by Everclear (95%).
I'd like to try a different test of a pleasure model skin-job
I thought "US and UK Zombies Demand Top Dollar" meant that the next zombie blockbuster was to be filmed in Croatia
Arrrggg! My Morgellon's is flaring up.
So are you arguing that bank robbers are beneficial during a recession?
don't hate the players hate the game
...after a few failed attempts I got one working.... Eventually, applications started crashing, but a simple reboot got it working again.
Sounds like you have it working as designed. Bravo.
I am disappointed that the list of items to keep in your emergency kit doesn't include a shotgun and a box of 12 ga. zombie repellent. Clearly they are not taking this seriously.
Wasn't he a quarterback for the Irish?
The chili is so scorching that Marcel and his team have to wear protective gear when handling the new variety.
Seriously, what is up with the ever hotter chilis? The hottest ones are long past the point of being edible. Even the first generation habanero extracts from way back in my college days would burn all the taste buds off one's tongue AND scorch one's rectum leaving a toilet full of blood.
Escalating the heat in one's food is an addictive thing, but when one gets to the point I describe above, one would generally--I did anyway--realize that it is not good for one and one is not really enjoying it anymore.
I'm not in it for super hot anymore, I'm in it for flavor, but because of my early experience with super hot, I generally let other people determine whether my recipes have reasonable heat values.
...it is difficult writing without the indefinite you construct.
and 2% fearful that you got the same root kit she has?
Still, I booted one of my machines over to Windows, updated everything and AV signatures too. I pulled her hard drive and connected it to a USB adapter and connected it to my computer to perform a scan.
or Plop Linux + Avast + latest 400.vps on bootable CDR. That's how I end up fixing peop's computers (if I'm feeling charitable, i.e. if they are family). No way am I plugging a known compromised device on my LAN, let alone directly to my computer, no matter how patched I think it is. And I don't even run Windows.
Plop what a relief it is.
Hey kid, invent me a time machine dammit so I can warn myself about all the stupid stuff I did to end up where I am in life!!
It wouldn't do you any good anyway. Our parents warned us time and again, yet here we are. Our children won't listen to us either.
I must thank you for that script. I have used it almost since the first you posted it. I have modified it to fix some of my pet peeves, like "Hell," --> "Furthermore," or "For example," based on context... not perfect but covers 90% . The "Hell," idiom is way overused.
I also use it to change "geek" to "nerd" and "password" to "********". seriously, if you type your ******** all I see are hunter2 lol.
Not that I'm totally against profanity, but I recently read a post by someone complaining about unnecessary profanity in some thread, and I thought for fun I would see what it looked like if I used your script to fix it.
fuck --> befriend
asshole --> beloved
bitch --> classy lady
bitching --> making insightful comments
It of course doesn't always work but the internet seems more friendly and polite with it on.
Anyway, thanks a lot. It really does improve things.
Not completely off topic, I saw the headline and was immediately reminded that I sure wish there were a supply of dung beetles for temperate zones in the U.S. That way I wouldn't need to clean up all the dog poop in the back yard every week.
You can buy ladybugs and mantids through the mail, why not dung beetles?
I suspect though that they may not like dog poop any more than I do, and will fly off to the local zoo or nearby farms or hippie vegan communes where herbivores live
