Hmm. Big shock, shockity shock shock shock.
Researchers question the wide use of the HPV vaccines.

From Grist:
"Twiggin' Out:
Scientists have proposed genetically engineering trees to self-ferment themselves into usable fuel. Hopefully, they'll soon turn their attention to sandwiches that self-assemble themselves into usable lunch."
Deep down in my gut, I have a really adverse reaction to that. Why? Because it reminds me of Orwellian don't-fuck-with-nature-or-nature-will-go-TheHappening-on-your-ass. Not that I think nature is sentient/aware/going to kill us all. But when you mess with the natural order of how the Earth works, without fully understanding the whole natural order system, then you are also changing things you are not aware of
I guess the caveat to my train of thinking, is that we have already so blindly and irreversibly fucked up the natural order of things, that maybe we do have to cross some lines to fix what we have done... I just see the fantastic error of an eye for an eye mentality when it comes to using technology. I'm not sure our massive mistakes warrant changing the way the earth works... Trees are not supposed to self-ferment themselves into fuel for a reason. Maybe I don't know what that reason is, but I sure as fuck think that if the Earth didn't do it that way, The Earth probably had a good reason.
Albeit, maybe this will become the savior of the world and I'll be totally off-base. Only time will tell. I'm just suuuuper anxious to find out whos right, here.
will this video work? will i have wasted a disproportionate amount of time trying to do it? Yes is the answer to one of those.
