Going back to the original question you asked as I understand it, and I am paraphrasing, “what is the purpose of more antibiotic-susceptible gut bacteria in infants?” I am guessing it’s a numbers game to allow our own gut bacteria to develop a stronger natural resistance in its environment to help them continue on without issue as we get older. Since every body is different, I assume there are many physiological differences that fuck with foreign invaders even if they’ve been in a similar environment elsewhere. That early susceptibility is to allow our specific variant to adapt to the drug with our own nuances that hopefully the invaders haven’t encountered.

I’m just guessing here. I’d have to ask an expert in this field what their theory is.

    Well, to ensure that nasty bacteria don’t get a foothold in your system I’d assume? Will it kill your own helpful bacteria? Yes, but they should be much more plentiful and able to repopulate.

    I’m not an expert in this by any means, but that would make the most sense to me.

    Uh. That’s why babies drink it. The colostrum helps them build up defenses. I, admittedly, didn’t read the article before commenting so I’m not sure if this just solidifying what we already know or if they’re finding that it’s stronger than initially thought.

    With a lot of canned stuff you don’t need to heat it up (this includes soup). You just eat it right out of the can. Heating it up is a luxury, but it’s completely edible right from the can. If you’re worried, shake it slightly first then open and eat.

    Literally everything that is spy work, subterfuge, being an opposing army, etc is community organizing of some kind. You have to find the community within that wants to take the risks to do these things.

    So, to answer your question, 100% community organizing stopped the Nazis.

  • Moving to Adelaide (lemmy.world)
     

    I didn’t see anything in the rules about posts like this, so please let me know if general inquiry is not allowed here.

    With that said, hello everyone!

    My family (Americans from Chicago) will be moving to Adelaide next year because my wife accepted a university job over there (waiting on visa process for permanent residency).

    What advice or general knowledge about Adelaide would you love for us to know?

    Anything amazing we should be aware of, see, do, etc? I love D&D, so I’m hoping to find a group to play with eventually (I also love to DM).

    We’ve been to Sydney and Cairns a couple of years ago and absolutely loved our time there. We all cannot wait!

     

    I read people say online that Americans are loud. What does this mean, exactly? Is it literal volume or is it our personality/presentation? Something else?

    I may be moving to Australia because of my wife’s job, and I want to better understand this. I want to assimilate and I don’t want to be annoying. I’m personally pretty low key and listen more than speak, but this is my perception of myself.

    I was looking at Peacemaker cast to learn more about some of them and I clicked on Nhut Le and I scrolled slightly and saw those Quick Facts that Google put in.

    I had to share because this was too hilarious. 😂 HOW did they mess that up?!

    Edit: i reported it to Google as incorrect info. Others should too.

    Gaming Laptop Recs? (lemmy.world)

    Hi all, my son is 11 and a gamer. He does a lot of Roblox (yeah, I know) but also has gaming interests outside of Roblox. He is getting into more robust games. He also likes to record and make YouTube videos of his gaming.

    He had a Razer Blade 15 and it crapped out after a year (RMA says motherboard). I had the extended warranty and they are giving me a cash settlement (check) for what I paid for the computer because Razer apparently said they cannot replace the part as it’s not available anymore.

    So, did I just have bad luck with the Blade and should I go for another in the Blade series OR go with a different gaming laptop replacement?

    I’m researching on my own, but also looking for recommendations from people that have knowledge in this area.

    Thank you!

    Edit 1: Yes, it should be a laptop. My child likes to switch environments and space is also an issue. Eventually we will consider a desktop, but I am looking for laptop suggestions.

     

    As a kid I hated veggies but as I got older I really enjoy some veggies, especially broccoli, roasted in a drizzle of olive oil and a little seasoning.

    As an American, I also used to abhor vegemite when I tried it until I learned how to properly spread it on toast during my visit over there and I’m obsessed now!

    What did you hate, but gave a second chance to? I’d love to try some new stuff!

     

    Hello, I’ve never traveled internationally post smart phone world but I have Verizon and I added the month international plan so I can use my phone over in Australia.

    I got the instructions back and it seems that I just need to turn roaming on and that’s it? I don’t need to activate a different eSIM or anything? Does anyone have experience with this on Verizon? It seems too easy and I’m worried I’ve missed something somewhere.

    Big fan of Matt Colville. I own Flee, Mortals the book and the PDF. I use the pdf in my games, but having everything in dndbeyond is also amazing. I think I’ll purchase it again and get Where Evil Lives too.

    I’m stoked about all of the 3rd party content getting added such as Kobold Press. It’s making this digital stuff very worth it!

    What does everyone else use and/or recommend?

     

    Anyone watch it yet? I am still processing it. I don’t know if I liked it or not.

    Thoughts and spoilers hereI was expecting more closure

    • Zillo beast was just in this whole series as a plot point to allow Omega to escape?
    • Rex and his crew had no resolution
    • Time jump with Omega in the Rebellion and literally no mention of her anywhere else?
    • What happened to Cody?
    • Why was Scorch done so dirty as a glorified name drop, he would’ve been covering their rear to make sure no one snuck up on them
    • Nothing about any of Tantiss’s other potential secrets
    • The clones didn’t have resolution. They’re just scattered across Pabu and Pantora?
    • The brain washed/mind controlled clones were cool but ultimately useless and easily defeated after spending all previous encounters handing everyone’s asses to them
    • Bunch of force sensitive kids out now to be discovered by Luke? Hunted by Vader?
    • Assaj was just there to tell us Omega was force sensitive? They could’ve used anyone to reveal this
    • Will Omega show up in Skeleton Crew or the crossover movie/show?

     

    Hey all, please direct me to any community that would better serve me for this question and I will gladly delete here and move it there.

    My conundrum: I have an old dining room table that is 30” high, 71” long, and 37.5” wide. It’s in my basement and sits against the wall when not in use and can be pulled out for room to sit on all sides.

    I have 5 adult players and am adding a 6th to our table. It’s fine except for needing room for snacks and player accessories (sheets, dice, dice trays, etc).

    I thought about getting a larger table that is foldable.

    My other thought is what kind of accessories could I get that would help them be able to place things on the table but also leave room for my mat and miniatures? Is there anything that I could clamp on? Are there stands?

    What options do I have? Money isn’t an object here, but I don’t want to have to break the bank if there are other options that I could do cheaper.
