How would competition work in the first place? Unless so many cells are already infected that virus #2 can't find any to reproduce?

Equal sharing would be fine. Having completely separate infrastructure is just a waste of space and money.

Reply to comment by total_fucking_chaos in Nerve block (an injection around a major sensory nerve for the shoulder) is an effective treatment for painful shoulder condition by giuliomagnifico
The good thing about post-surgery pain is that it should go away pretty quickly. I’ve had multiple surgeries (cubital tunnel (elbow), 2 hip impingements, appendicitis, wisdom teeth removal …) and the post-surgery pain was always much better than the pain before. Not to mention that the surgeries fixed fundamental, disabling problems which were severely impacting my life.
Just the knowledge that the pain is from healing and not from ongoing damage and inflammation makes it so much more bearable. Similar to how DOMS is much more bearable than a tendonitis.

Reply to comment by slogginmagoggin in I recently learned that humans can smell rain / petrichor (ozone and geosmin) better than sharks smell blood, now considering we don't have any extra hyper specific olfactory organs like some other animals do, how do we achieve this level of detection? by Corvuscoraxaphro
We can see signs of water much easier and longer than we can smell them. Just look at the ground, maybe scratch away the dry dirt on top.

Reply to comment by ndunks1 in Inequality in annual earnings worsens in 2021: Top 1% of earners get a larger share of the earnings pie while the bottom 90% lose ground by sillychillly
Here in Austria the green party has about 9% of votes. The right (ÖVP) and far right (FPÖ) parties have 20 and 27% respectively. Both parties barely admit that human made climate change is a thing and something should be done about it.

Maybe not the top 1% but certainly the top 10%.
But I agree with you. It’s also funny when you hear all the outrage about rich people polluting the planet.
Most of reddit is (comparatively) rich people who live in democratic countries and could easily and safely encourage change.

> And many, probably most, obese children are malnourished because they’re not eating nutrient dense food. So they’re getting calories, but not vitamins and minerals.
It’s not that hard to get enough protein, vitamins and minerals on the food intake required for obesity.

5kg gain within 4 months? Wow, that’s a lot.
How has your strength improved? Especially in relation to your body weight.

Don’t trust the body fat percentage “measurement” of cheap scales. Especially those which only have foot electrodes.
That being said, it’s very hard to gain muscle mass without gaining any fat, especially when you already are at a low BMI and reasonably fit. Even more so when you are gaining 5kg within 4 months like this guy.

But keep in mind that having a ton of offspring is useless if none of them make it to adulthood.

Still takes up a big volume of their heads. If they could be smaller they’d probably would be.

That's also the way my anesthesiologist explained it to me for an arm surgery. They used a nerve block to make my arm go numb.
