[21:45] IsambardPrince It was missing a network driver for a very common integrated Intel chip. ● Apr 10 [22:01] IsambardPrince Apparently. "raccoon dogs" almost invaded the United States in 1982. Someone imported them into Minnesota and started breeding them. A storm damaged a cage and one escaped, a male, and it survived one year on its own, before getting run over by a car. The State wildlife officer had no idea what it was because it looked like a raccoon, and dog-like, and it took them a while to identify it. [22:01] IsambardPrince They ended up having to pay the breeders in Minnesota and Illinois to hand them over to the government. The breeder in Illinois was paid $72,000 for 152 raccoon dogs, which the Illinois government destroyed. [22:01] IsambardPrince Ontario, in Canada, paid a breeder for some and destroyed them. Since the things multiply so quickly and can eat almost anything, if just 100 of them got out, 20 years later there'd be at least 10,000 of them, and the US-Canada border is over 4,000 miles long, so good luck trying to keep them out of the other country. [22:02] IsambardPrince So Kudzu vine and Asian Carp did invade the US, the Murder Hornets got in and took but we think we got them all, and the raccoon dog (Tanuki) almost got in and we never would have caught all of them. [22:02] MinceR raccoon dogs are also known as tanuki [22:02] MinceR :) [22:03] IsambardPrince MinceR, Yeah. They're cute but they could do an unbelievable amount of damage to the environment. They breed like rabbits and have an insatiable appetite, and will eat almost anything, and many become rabid. [22:04] MinceR :> [22:05] IsambardPrince MinceR, When I was reading about that I started singing the song from Pom Poko, the English dub. [22:08] *teknutr has quit (Quit: leaving) [22:13] IsambardPrince MinceR, I posted on Reddit: [22:13] IsambardPrince "Getting an extra dose of MMR is not harmful. [22:13] IsambardPrince Most people born before the second dose started being recommended in the late 1980s should get a booster just to be sure. [22:13] IsambardPrince If you want to know for sure and don't want to get the MMR if you don't need it, you could have your doctor run a RUBEOLA (not to be confused with RUBELLA) IgG Test, also known as Measles Serology Test. [22:13] IsambardPrince Mine was over 300 AU/mL. Over 16.9 indicates that you have immunity, under that indicates you need another dose, something close to 0 indicates you should get the full series, two of them 28 days apart. [22:13] IsambardPrince Mine was very high which makes me suspect I was exposed to Measles at some point and the MMR protected me from developing the Measles. [22:13] IsambardPrince You know how the trash that doesn't vaccinate their children are. Once they have the disease, they're still going through four airports, two planes, Disney World, three walk in clinics, and a hospital without calling first, and anywhere in between. [22:13] IsambardPrince People who don't care about themselves or their own kids, do not care if they make you and your kids sick." [22:17] IsambardPrince "My second dose was in 1995. Just the pinch from the shot. No side effects worth noting. [22:17] IsambardPrince Back then Indiana was pretty strict about vaccination for public schools. They demanded that the parents show the records, so we got in the car and went to the Health Department. It would have been unheard of back then for the Measles to be in a public school. [22:17] IsambardPrince Today, people just let it all hang out. No sense of decency, no respect for anyone, they aren't even smart enough or decent enough to care about their own children. They should be ashamed, but they don't even have the presence of mind to be ashamed." [22:29] IsambardPrince MinceR, I feed the raccoons here. [22:29] IsambardPrince They seem to like cat food.
