Let's use snake venom as an example. Venom is extracted from a venomous snake and then dosed (carefully) into a mammal, often a horse or sheep. That animal develops antibodies to fight the venom. Those antibodies are harvested (from blood serum), processed, stabilized, and packaged into antivenom for humans or pets. The antibodies can be included in whole (generally more effective but high risk of allergic reaction) or just certain parts (less effective, lower allergic risk).

Reply to comment by MedricZ in ‘John Wick’ Prequel Series ‘The Continental’ to Stream on Amazon Internationally - The series will air on Peacock in the U.S. by Neo2199
The platform is fine. It works. We cycle platforms on and off all the time for certain content. HBO to binge Westworld and GoT and then unsub. Peacock to binge Harry Potter with kids and then unsub. It’s annoying.

Looks more like a another tree that outgrew and killed its host. Maybe one of the tropical Ficus.

This is a perfect answer to OP’s question “is it possible?” The back of envelope exponential population model above gives an estimate that is the same order of magnitude as and also exceeds OP’s datapoint before accounting for drag factors.
“Did it produce?” is a different question

Ursus arctos is a species properly known as the brown bear. It includes a bunch of subspecies: Himalayan Brown Bear, Atlas Bear (extinct), North American Brown Bear (aka “grizzly”), Kodiak Bear, Eurasian Brown Bear, and others.
“Grizzly” is a colloquial name for two subspecies (if you count the extinct California Grizzly). The species is brown bear. “Brown bears” definitely exist.

I haven't heard the joke, but yes, that would generally be true.

The ground is also going to crumble, even if it’s concrete

There is almost no chance the flight recorder comes to an instantaneous stop. The plane is going to crumble, so is the ground.

Acceleration is a vector; it has both magnitude AND direction. Deceleration is just a type of acceleration.

The parent company is Rosatom (think RussiaAtomic).

You could Google each of these. In short, the chart represents ownership of the companies. Each company has mines all over the world. The biggest concentration of uranium mines are northwestern Canada, Central Europe and central Africa (broadly). In fact, uranium one which is owned by Russian state company, Rosatom, has mines in the US.

The French, Russian, and other companies listed have mines all over the world, including Kazakhstan. The designations on this chart reflect ownership, not the actual location of mining activity.

They mine it in Kazakhstan, Tanzania, the far western Russia/Mongolia border, and the USA actually.
This reflects ownership,m not my mining activity. Most of the actual mines are in Canada, Africa, and the Asian steppe.

Crepes are commonly made as sweet or savory. I make them at home once a month or so and do both. Typically the kids load up on Nutella, banana, and berries while the wife and go for prosciutto, arugula, gruyere, etc

I’m sure there is something about serum compatibility or physiological similarity to humans, but I don’t know the answer.
We’re not talking about cosmetics testing here. We’re talking about saving human lives. If you want to sign up as the serum factory, more power to you. Otherwise save the indignation for the mink farms.
