Transglutaminases are enzymes that in nature primarily catalyze the formation of an isopeptide bond between γ-carboxamide groups ( -(C=O)NH2 ) of glutamine residue side chains and the ε-amino groups ( -NH2 ) of lysine residue side chains with subsequent release of ammonia ( NH3 ).

Stop, yer making me hungry!

I think part of why Q Anon has grown so rapidly is that people with brains have so little tolerance to learn anything about it, because it is so completely asinine. So there is no push back on it.

[Lucy_Gothro1]

No, it’s because they won’t listen to SHIT.

I’ve had personal experience with ‘em, and the sheer stubbornness of these folks makes ever’ mule out of Mizzurah look as tame as a koala bear.

You can’t teach someone who doesn’t want to learn. So, how do we get 'em to want to learn? Make it attractive to them. And I don’t know how to do that.

Certainly the rote memorization used in schools won’t do it.

Social media users across the internet found the situation hilarious

Excuse me? How is this hilarious? First, it could infect people with e. coli et al. Second, the guy must have some emotional problems, probably linked to having to have the bag in the first place.

As people here probably know, I’m all for lifting all the cultural bans of talking about the subject, and getting people proper physical and emotional help with it, and not blaming them for it (all of which I’ve had damaging personal experience with). But laughing at some poor guy’s inappropriateness with his problems isn’t the way to do it. And Newsweak just seems to go along with it.

The white cat in the background reminds me so much of Ally!

Complete with two-toned blotch on the side.

That almost brings tears to my eyes. I miss Ally every day.

[Lucy_Gothro1]

I feel the same way about Luke. And of course, I’ve seen several cats so far in the doco that remind me of him. =^+^=

We had three cats - Boy, Mila, and our newest Billy. Boy is my daughter’s cat, Billy is my wife’s, and Mila was mine. Mila had gotten to be friends with Boy and played with him all the time. And whenever I’d walk into the room, she’d run up meowing and rolling around and wanting attention. Billy didn’t really care about Boy or about me.

A few weeks after Mila died, Billy suddenly started playing with Boy just like Mila used to do, and now whenever I walk into a room she comes running up to me meowing, and rolling around, just like Mila did.

I miss my Mila so much, but I also think it’s so sweet that our other cat (who used to not do any of this) just decided to step up and fill in. I don’t know how these little furballs think, but they’re pretty special. And each one is quite a character.

And each one is quite a character.

Once we had a lot of cats we were amazed at how different their personalities are!
