Turning PET Plastic Into Paracetamol With This One Bacterial Trick
Over the course of evolution microorganisms have evolved pathways to break down many materials. The challenge with the many materials that we humans have created over just the past decades is that we cannot wait for evolution to catch up, ergo we have to develop such pathways ourselves. One such example is demonstrated by [Nick W. Johnson] et al. with a recent study in Nature Chemistry that explicitly targets PET plastic, which is very commonly used in plastic bottles.
The researchers modified regular E. coli bacteria to use PET plastic as an input via Lossen rearrangement, which converts hydroxamate esters to isocyanates, with at the end of the pathway para-aminobenzoate (PABA) resulting, which using biosynthesis created paracetamol, the active ingredient in Tylenol. This new pathway is also completely harmless to the bacterium, which is always a potential pitfall with this kind of biological pathway engineering.
In addition to this offering a potential way to convert PET bottles into paracetamol, the researchers note that their findings could be very beneficial to studies targeting other ‘waste’ products from biological pathways.
Thanks to [DjBiohazard] for the tip.

_"No Evidence" of Epstein Blackmail Operation Not Surprising_
The more "it doesn't make sense," the more one should suspect behind-the-scenes shenanigans.
FTA: When institutions and powerful individuals operate for long periods without scrutiny, they may be tempted to commit such outrageously corrupt acts that disclosing them to the people becomes an insurmountably difficult task.
For years there has been a lot of consternation about the refusal of federal agencies such as the CIA and FBI to disclose what they know about Jeffrey Epstein (as well as about the assassination of JFK, the 9/11 terrorist attacks, the murder of Seth Rich, and countless other stories). Guys like me have also noticed how the U.S. government, including Congress, can’t ever quite seem to get to the bottom of the origin of SARS-CoV-2.
The truth of these stories carries incalculable liabilities—liabilities that would call into question whether the involved institutions should be allowed to continue existing.
Disclosing the truth could also instantly demolish the persistent naïveté that enables most people to maintain their allegiance to their governments and to believe the endless train of BS that we are told every day about everything.
I have experience with big liability cases. For a long time I investigated the mysterious deaths of Mary Mahoney on July 6, 1997 in Georgetown and Seth Rich on July 10, 2016 in the Bloomingdale neighborhood of D.C. The circumstances of both deaths strongly raise the suspicion of a political motive, but both were nevertheless chalked up to “botched robberies” by the Metropolitan Police.
Someone with power doesn’t want either death elucidated, and I was advised that pursuing my investigations would not only be frustrating and fruitless, but hazardous for my health.

If I worked on a way for people to Self-Host there own instance by resetting it up like I'd self-host at mine but then give them the device so they don't have to pay monthly fees, Do you think people would pay for that?
#Fediverse #FediverseInstance #FediverseHosting #SelfHosting
I'm not sure how much work it would be fully but might get a Raspberry Pi or something to test the theory out but I think I could create a Mastodon Instance that can be 'portable' / be sold to people to self-host in there own home.
I want to make it easy for people to self-host, especially for those who know nothing about coding and don't have time / want to learn. The goal would be to have a 100% functional instance that would be plug-n-go no worries about typing in commands, illegal instances / users ext.
I want to be able to easily give the update code to users when it comes to update time, I think the only thing they'll have to worry about if they don't manage there own DNS is paying for the domain, but other than that it should be 100% free from my hands if they wish to run it on there own.
Who knows if I can do it but I'm thinking about testing this as I really want to help bring people to the Fediverse, and why not help people run there own servers.
