Genalyte's technology is already used commercially in the pharmaceutical industry but, as mentioned, Gunn wants to move it to a "near-patient" setting where doctors can run diagnostics on a prick of blood right at their practice and get the results within minutes, as opposed to sending patients out to a lab and having them wait a few days for results.

Theranos's claim to fame was that with just a few drops of blood taken from a finger prick — instead of several vials drawn from a big, scary needle — its proprietary lab device, the Edison, could run a battery of blood tests at a fraction of the going rate and return results directly to the consumer within hours instead of days.

Stories abound, as summer winds down to a cooling close, of toxically branded events, problems with outdoor sound quality, some prick on just a bit too much coke walking past you and friends and knocking a drink out of your hand "for a laugh" while portable toilets lose their ability to deal with all the human waste poured inside them.

The subway system has ads from defense contractors boasting about their new warplane in between ads for a new salad at Panera; there's often an important person's motorcade blocking your route home; and you might end up eating dinner one table over from Stephen Miller and be forced, by all standards of moral decency, to call him a prick before you leave.

I'm thinking of when Brienne decides to accept a compliment from Podrick, the nod that Jaime gives Bronn as they agree that Randyll Tarly is a bit of a prick, the winking girltime that Missandei and Daenerys share just before Jon Snow barges in, and Jon letting his own guard down as he strolls with his lieutenant Davos Seaworth, who corrects his grammar (proving that Stannis's legacy lives on).

Lucas is black, and Billy's dad is an abusive, bigoted prick, so it wouldn't be hard to imagine that his backwards ideas have rubbed off on his son — although the show is oddly squeamish about overtly addressing it as racism, which is especially weird considering that the writers are not squeamish about having a musclebound 17-year-old trying to beat the crap out of a nerdy 13-year-old.

The video is full of little nuggets of Maxi Shield's personal brand of sexual and potty humor — like when a health care provider sticks her finger for a blood test ("ooh, I wonder if he's tired of the little prick jokes") or when she's filling out the check-in form that asks how many sexual partners she's had in the last year ("I suppose I better count the taxi drivers...").

"The availability of an oral flu vaccine would be a major breakthrough, not only because of the obvious comfort of avoiding a needle prick, but because an oral tablet vaccine would be easier and faster to distribute and administer than an injectable vaccine, which could have a major impact on improving global vaccination rates," David R. Mcllwain, a senior research scientist at Stanford University who worked on the study, said to Fox News.

You'll find yourself having rabid arguments over the most pointless things—"how many times do I have to tell you, 'dry frying' an onion is not a thing," "Um, Jeremy Kyle isn't 'high art' you total PRICK"—and you'll stop wearing real outfits, instead choosing to clinically shuffle between pajama sets, looking at yourself in the mirror and thinking my tits will never look this good again, but no one will ever know apart from my GP and them.

About as far as you could go was a phrase like "they were lying together, and he felt the urgent thrust of her body against him, and his aroused maleness was penetrating her, and he felt the warm soft moist clasping and the tightening..." 'Mistress of Satan's Roost' by Jack Kahler, cover artist unknown 303 Unmistakably these people are Doing It. But his "maleness" is what's penetrating her, not his cock or his prick or his dick, and something is clasping and tightening, presumably a vagina, but we aren't told that in so many syllables.

Because Steve Harrington does a lot of good deeds in Stranger Things 2: He stays relentlessly chill every time Billy, completely unprovoked, is a prick to him; gives Dustin, who's also a little heartbroken this season, both girl and hair advice, kicking off a bromance that's sure to be the subject of a hundred-thousand listicles; defends idiot children with a death wish from monster dogs in a spooky junkyard; is mature about Nancy's relationship with Jonathan, in a complete about-face from season one; becomes a doting babysitter to four of the kids and accompanies them to the aforementioned hellscape.
