Well, I went on the Heph mission for a reason.

« on: November 21, 2015, 04:26:20 am »It's not really shipping unless you write it, you know.No, that's proper shipping. I've done Xan/Doc fics in my time.
What I can't stand is the asinine non-speculation list making version of shipping that isn't even thinking about how the two chosen characters would work together in a relationship instead just putting the two names with an x in between them it reeks of no thought and it causes my mind to go into conniptions I nearly went nuts when it became a tumorous infestation in a game I didn't even play in if it becomes endemic in ER I might literally strangle a bird that lives outside my window and eat it
Sorry, I like people putting effort into their relationship speculations.

« on: November 21, 2015, 04:19:34 am »So you're saying eat vegans because they'll have lower chances of having prions in them, good. Just in time for the chili cookoff.Err, whaddyamean, less destroyable? Viruses aren't that hard to destroy, per se - the problem is, you can only get so many of the free-floating ones, whereas the real problem demands the engagement of Immune System KGB and if they fail, you suddenly get a LOT of them to deal with.It's because prion diseases are even less alive than viruses are. Where a virus still has a basic wall to hold it together, a prion is basically just a uniquely folded protein that your brain essentially "trips" on, in the process breaking the protein apart into two pieces (each of which then pull parts from their surrounding to become two complete copies of the original). Since it's essentially just a free floating protein in your system without even anything to hold it together, it's even less destroyable than most viruses are, which are basically just a bit of dna surrounded by a protein wall. Less important parts to target and all that jazz.Apparently there are health concerns related to eating human blood/brains, though, I believe?Not good enough to stop the prions which cause those diseases I listed. According to the Wiki, the process for sterilizing instruments that might have been contaminated with prions involves copious amounts of bleach and lye.
From what I vaguely remember reading in the past you just have to make sure it's cooked well.
Prions, meanwhile, aren't tough because they are proteins - most proteins can be and are easy pickings - heat 'em up, digest 'em with proteases, stick 'em in a stew... The problem is prions are not 'most proteins', they are abnormally resistant to the usual tools of the trade, similarly to the issue with amyloids causing Alzheimers and whatnot but with added fun factor of converting your own proteins. Damn things are essentially protein equivalent of zombies, come to think of it.

Falling asleep while feeling emotionally warm and fuzzy is one of the more pleasant sensations I've had in a while.
I think I'll do that tonight.

Gotta decrease work for myself. Stabbed dude won't bleed out in one turn, and stab dude will create more work for me if I don't halt him.
But bring shipping into ER and I will visit horrors upon you such as you have never seen.
Which means prepare your body because Xanta Claws is coming for your bleedy bits.

When I get back on ship I'm going to take your limbs and impale them through your torso, stitching them to your internal organs in such a way that any significant movement will cause them to burst, ensuring a long painful death.

"That's why I'm not rejecting it outright. If I'm ever going to get it back I need to impress the knowledge of my superiority onto them, and I can't with no working arms.
For now let's just see what the next realm brings. For all we know there could be some places we can get prosthetics from."

Xankarvo stares at John for a while.

And you'll take the wheel of this five-story tall armadillo gorilla.

"About as well as it was before this whole incident. The loss of my good arm hasn't helped, obviously."
