Every time I want to do something new, I have to learn how to do ten other new things first. Each has their own set of unique dependencies I have to learn before I can use them. I fucking hate the future.

When you are young, the amount of living you will live seems infinite because you haven't lived enough to get a clear estimate of the rate of living you will be living. As you age, that rate begins to crystalize and you begin to have a sense of the finite amount of stuff you can do with what's left.

2. Only about 5% of the viral genomes found in patients on antiretroviral drugs are able to produce more virus. The other 95% are too damaged to replicate.

It's churning out defective copies with a 5% SUCCESS RATE, at least in the presence of therapy.
