I had a buddy like you. When he was drunk, I could look in his eyes and think, "I chose rock last, so now he'll choose paper to beat rock again." And I won the vast majority of the time (in a drinking game that involved dice)

Here's a serious question: If you start with "I don't know anything about what I'm going to talk about...", why even post? I wouldn't go into a neurological medical thread, and post "I'd guess it does

Evolution doesn't really play into much of this. It's cultural and technological progress - medicine, hygiene, improvements in agriculture...

Babies died of diarrhea anyway. Breastfeeding is not a panacea. If it were, doctors would simply prescribe a flask of breast milk, and mothers would earn money by prolonging lactation for Big Medicine.

The Jewish faith traditionally waits to name the baby until a few days or weeks have passed (apparently varying by gender). I suspect this somewhat delayed recognition of the child is meant to gently, if slightly, address the horrifying rea

The small pool also lends itself to a lack of unbiased reviewers. If everyone in the community is more-or-less tied to the research, who can best objectively test it, from a blinded POV?

Your claim seems to be that testing medicines in animals is useless, because "everyone knows it's not going to work". Congratulations. You've just reduced all of medical science to the Tuskegee STD experiment.

Still inaccurate. A paper has a (semi-formal) structure, including TITLE, AUTHORS, and the all-important ABSTRACT. Email guarantees none of those.

Even more billions don't speak it. That's makes it a minority group, and it's not only possible but commonplace that there are areas that don't follow him.

Not accurate. Webster didn't originate the American dialect; it had been developing since the English first settled here. Webster provided a common reference for the American dialect: he helped unify the dialect. Or partly unify: &quot

"Unifying culture" is a horrifying concept. We've seen what evil people can do with cultural subsets that differ - immigrants, POC, Jews, even women in workplaces where they are a small minority. In fact, aiming for a unified

Or cover crops. They require a season of no yield, but are widely used after harvest, betting on a long pre-frost growing season.

There is also a correlation between having strong opinions and just being a dick. Imagining yourself the next Richard Dawkins is a fulltime occupation for a lot of smart kids.

I hate AI as much as anybody, but claiming that it's not useful for "distilling volumes of data into a short list of places to look first" is silly.

Congrats. You've used artificial intelligence to guess wrongly about something you don't know about.

Never "depends". Marriage doesn't guarantee children, nor even the desire to try for them, both of which can occur without marriage.

There is a conflict between "publishers should be responsible for everything they publish" and "a free press". If you have to buy a newspaper to publish your info, that is quite a high bar. At the same time, none of us*
