examples: Richard Hanania—one of those weird right-wing randos who appear on the scene out of nowhere every few months, suddenly raised to Twitter prominence for some occult algorithmic/dark-money reason that we will never get a good answer about—wrote a long newsletter in which he endorses opposing The Current Thing as a “heuristic”: “I would argue that a probabilistic approach suggests that we should be anti-current thing.”
Johnson explained that absolute gauging assumed that everything that could go wrong would go wrong at the same time, resulting in the train hitting the platform. In contrast, probabilistic gauging says that everything can go wrong, but not at the same time. For the Pitsea '357', probabilistic gauging estimated a 0.00001% chance of the train hitting the platform. That seems much closer to the daily life of Pitsea Platform 2.

Your body’s microbiome is all the genes your microbiota contains, however colloquially the two terms are often used interchangeably.
gloss: A microbial biome, such as the community of microbes within the human gut.
pos: noun
examples: Mostly, the microbiome is beneficial. It helps with digestion and enables people to extract a lot more calories from their food than would otherwise be possible. Research over the past few years, however, has implicated it in diseases from atherosclerosis to asthma to autism.
The microbiome creates the immediate environment for our genes as they play out their part in disease mechanisms.
Yes, there are microbes everywhere and most are just fine for us, perhaps even beneficial to our microbiomes and immune systems. We don’t care about those.
For your community of microbes— your 'microbiome' — your body is a planet.
