The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Which reinforces the need for an educated populace. Every cell in your body has your DNA. You can't just rewrite it. It's pretty easy to manipulate the genes of a single cell. Hard to do it to billions. I won't say impossible (e.g. there are gene therapies that work on broken genes, though I do not know the details). However, injecting you with RNA (which is what the COVID vaccine is if you get it from Pfizer or Moderna) won't do that.

I'm not a medical person. The last biology class I took was in high school. But I know that.

You can't have a modern, advanced society without an educated populace.

I was grilling yesterday. Still get the occasional twinge or ache, but I have a lot more energy. Smoked some pulled pork, some ribs, and prepped some fries for freezing (freezing is required after step 2, so we have frozen fries just awaiting the final step 3). Also defrosted our chest freezer.
