  I got an arm infection near the injection site of one vaccine that was so bad that there was briefly discussion of possibly needing to amputate it if the third round of antibiotics didn’t clear it up. When the primary abscess at the injection site ruptured, I collected over a pint of bloodypusieyuck in the first couple of hours. Fortunately, it began resolving shortly thereafter, but it definitely made me more wary of vaccinations.

  That being said, I still got vaccinated for COVID and some other things after that. Because I am capable of taking a deep breath, rationalizing the actual proven risk odds and then deal with my very real anxiety and do the thing I know has the highest chance of being the best course of action (at least sometimes).

  Though, I do always ask they do it in my non-dominate arm now, just in case.

  However, if a moon is sufficiently large compared to its planet, it also gets to be a planet and part of a binary planet system, not a moon.

  Somewhat, but not nearly as quickly or to the extent of something like gasoline, acetone or even d-limonene/orange oil (which is what I use to dissolve styrofoam packaging for repurposing, because it smells the best and is less flammable).

  This video is someone dissolving polystyrene in kerosene, and as you can see it is a very slow process. www.youtube.com/watch?v=k1yDdIanTEA

  One of them did, though! Irene Joliot-Curie got the 1935 Nobel Prize for Chemistry.

  Her father in law lived with them after his wife died shortly after her first daughter was born. He acted as babysitter when Marie was working. They also hired a servant to take care of most housework and cooking.
