This is merged and I am pretty happy with the results. The bulk of the requirements is validation. For some types of ASN.1 string like IA5 or VisibleString this pretty easy - the whole character set is a single range like 0x20 - 0x7F. This is pretty easy to do.

Antiretroviral therapy, such as PrEP, blocks the reverse transcriptase from working, making it so that even if someone is exposed to a retrovirus, that virus won't be able to make copies of itself. Data indicate that this medication reduces transmission probability by >99% when taken correctly.

For PrEP, the basics are: HIV is a retrovirus. It stores its genetic information as RNA, and it has a protein called reverse transcriptase that allows it to make DNA using RNA as a template. Inside the host cell, it does this to stick its genome into the host genome.

my five year old and her little sister are sleeping in the same room for the first time ever on vacation. just walked in there and the little one was making fart noises while her sister threw up her arms in exasperation. it’s probably not good for their sleep schedules but it is extremely funny

Daughters waiting patiently by planning the younger’s wedding… “The dinner needs to be so fancy…” “I know! QUESADILLAS!” “Yes! And it’s more fancy without black beans!” “And the bride and the groom can have heart-shaped quesadillas!” “George Washington used to love to eat quesadillas!”

My best air stairs story: Flying back from Gitmo on contracted civ plane after deployment. We land at a naval air station on Thanksgiving (base retiring soon after). No ground crew to be seen, we sit for 45 min. 2 guys in flight suits walk out, puzzle over air stairs truck, drive it up, open door
