You won't die by any of those
You'll die by murder, starvation, disease, or accidental death

2019-11-08 19:38:30 UTC  

First and foremost, @Mystic axe, because our understanding of genetics is nowhere near that level.
Second, presume we did exactly that...
¿Then what? ¿Do you know you can stop the monster you're unleashing? You're afraid of skinjobs, but ¿are you sure you're not *creating* them in the process?

2019-11-08 19:44:05 UTC  

@Beemann Have you ever read the STand?

2019-11-08 19:44:14 UTC  

I have not

2019-11-08 19:44:25 UTC  

Where King has a chapter to all the survivors who die after the apocalypse to just the random parts of life?

2019-11-08 19:44:41 UTC  

Your comment made me think of that.

2019-11-08 19:44:45 UTC  

Oh thats funny

2019-11-08 19:44:56 UTC  

Yeah thats basically how it would work out though

2019-11-08 19:45:12 UTC  

Oh whoops stepped on a nail. Enjoy your tetanus

2019-11-08 19:45:19 UTC  

It is a serious of vignettes about the survivors of the super plague.

2019-11-08 19:45:23 UTC  

One person actually does die that way

2019-11-08 19:45:56 UTC  

One gets locked in a freeze, one tries to shoot a homeless bum and didn't clean her pistol, nail, a small 6 year old who just starves.

2019-11-08 19:48:56 UTC  

Its only a chapter but it stuck with me.

2019-11-08 19:49:01 UTC  

Beeman have you read any King stuff?

2019-11-08 19:49:09 UTC  

I would rate the Stand as one of his best.

2019-11-08 19:49:33 UTC  

Small bit of The Dead Zone

2019-11-08 19:49:41 UTC  

Didnt get very far but I still have it

2019-11-08 19:49:45 UTC  

Dead Zone was real good if I recall.

2019-11-08 19:49:53 UTC  

Yeah I've heard good things

2019-11-08 19:50:02 UTC  

Dry but a balanced look at the psychology of a pyschic.

2019-11-08 19:50:25 UTC  

It has a solid ending as well, and does not get as crazy as some of his stuff from that time.

2019-11-08 19:50:46 UTC  

He stopped doing huge amounts of Coccaine and no longer writes his books over a weekend,

2019-11-08 19:50:52 UTC  

I feel the quality has gone down.

2019-11-08 19:54:04 UTC  

My favorite short King books are Dark Tower, Salem's Lot, Dead Zone, Green Mile.

2019-11-08 19:54:10 UTC  

and the Shining.

2019-11-08 19:54:27 UTC  

It and the Stand are great but goliath beasts.

2019-11-08 20:05:37 UTC  

I've watched the adaptation of Green Mile but that's about it

2019-11-08 20:08:32 UTC  

¿You wanna be scared?
Read *The Hot Zone* by Richard PRESTON... It has a supreme endorsement.

2019-11-08 20:29:58 UTC  

IT and The Stand are great. The Green Mile is also good

2019-11-08 21:08:48 UTC  

I liked Dead Zone a lot.

2019-11-08 21:09:03 UTC  

I read it because of the USA show.

2019-11-08 21:10:36 UTC  

One thing I really liked about the book is that Johnny is legitimately crippled from his brain injury and actually has consequences from it other than just the time lost in a coma.

2019-11-08 21:21:43 UTC  

***The** Dead Zone.* Completely different story.
Eh... I think there was a film, staring Dustin HOFFMAN, in a role occupied by a woman in the book...

2019-11-09 00:31:40 UTC  

Gotta go with Kevin on this one, @RuRu... And I didn't check...

I know somewhere out there, someone developed a .357 dub-machinegun... ¿Has anyone OTHER than me heard if it?

2019-11-09 00:34:24 UTC  

speaking of people conflating things and forcing people to come down on one side or the other with no nuance... (talking about that Crenshaw video)

2019-11-09 01:37:13 UTC  

...
Assuming this is true and correct, there goes my theory...
