  1. As I said earlier today, that's what Moderna are developing. (Though obviously the vaccine will be for the virus, not the disease).
  2. That's Moderna announced development of three new mRNA vaccines: seasonal flu, HIV, and nipah. I'm not sure how you conduct a clinical trial of an HIV vaccine, have them all sharing needles for a fortnight to see who gets it? The HIV one could be an absolute game changer, though if we'd all just followed Jacob Zuma's advice of having a shower after unprotected sex we wouldn't have got into this mess in the first place.
  3. Why are twitter banning Trump but not even censoring Khamenei when he goes on about eliminating the Zionist regime?
  4. Prosecco can be very nice and I prefer it to most whites, however they know fine well that British consumers of prosecco have no clue so they churn out garbage for export. It's turned a lot of farmers into millionaires. To a man they're arseholes. On the other hand the millionaires round there who started factories in the sixties are all sound.
  5. At least we can furlough the players rather then paying them to stay at home cause we've not turned on the heating.
  6. It's nonsense logic though, akin to depriving yourself of pepperoni pizza because some folk like mango on theirs. Just don't order mango pizza.
  7. Is it because it's simple to export a finished product whereas exporting knowledge and expertise is incredibly difficult?
  8. Surely if Arsenal are offered silly money then they'll tell him to pack his bags though. Did Rangers not politely tell Alan Hutton to f**k off when Tottenham waved the cash? (I realise the financial situation at the two clubs differ, but surely £100m could go a long way to rebuilding a squad that is apparently shite.)
  9. The way things are going we're not even looking too big for League 2.
  10. Can't believe Brechin/Vale of Leithen are going to get away with it again.
  11. The Thistle one is a bit like the Google doodle with Div designing a new one each week. It's normally an French existentialist philosopher but sometimes he goes down the populist route and it's someone like Lermontov or Toulouse-Lautrec.
  12. Braehead, the Tennent's Sixes 2021 run over a fortnight can decide the leagues.
  13. Why not just hide the friends posting that sort of thing and keep the ones who aren't idiots?
  14. I've been to a fair few places mentioned here: Mongolia, Siberia, Transnistria, Abkhazia, Karabakh, Syria (not Homs like Melanius though but I did see the tanks surrounding it while it was under siege), Iraq, I spent five months in Central Asia and I used to live in Albania. Probably the best holiday I had though was a month travelling around Ghana. Algeria was also top notch.
  15. They may well have been, another theory could be that the ones made in Scotland are good but the ones from Italy are shite.
  16. "Internationalist". Declan Gallagher isn't advocating understanding between nations, he's a footballer who represents his country so the word you're looking for is "international".
  17. San Carlo are garbage. Their rustica are passable but their standard crisp is flavourless. Italians love their crisps but it's the only part of their culinary ecosystem they are utterly shite at.
  18. If a player commits a foul in his own penalty area while the ball is out of play, is it a penalty?
  19. You could make an argument that our tie is the least interesting of the round.
  20. A couple of years back someone (presumably Mr Jibee as it seems like his usual high quality input but perhaps not) posted a great breakdown of OF draws in major cups over the years and found their separation almost at lottery winning levels for a couple of decades. I could be remembering wrongly, hopefully someone will have it stored away somewhere and repost it.
  21. How would you know? You've only been a member one day.
