   It's crazy to think about how many radioactive sources we come into contact on a day-to-day basis. I mean, thorium toothpaste was a thing. http://biohazard1780.tripod.com/id53.html

   I think you'd have better luck with potassium salt, but trying different things out is the fun part.

   Adding a radioactive check-source, like a thorium welding rod, may produce some interesting results. ;)

   I'm not really sure about hourly plans. When I was configuring my machine (~1-2 years ago) I was able to select hourly or monthly billing (hourly would've been outrageously expensive).

    When did I make that claim? I said that I think what she's promoting is based more off of relativism, and that epistemology is already an established field; hell, it's quite literally the study of knowledge. So smug !

    Seems more like she's trying to teach a class on relativism, a subject I wholeheartedly hope stays away from science. Additionally, epistemology already exists, and is a well established field of study.

    Here's a simplified version: energy generation in the mitochondria is based on the energy differential between the intermembrane space and the inner mitochondrial membrane (I may have confused those membranes). Most uncouplers act to r

    Any uncoupler ought to induce mitochondrial biogenesis, as it's a systemic response due to a lack of energy (I may be mistaken?)—same goes for [vascular] endothelial growth factor and EPO (just to name a few). Also, I really can't

    This isn't too surprising considering curcumin is a mitochondrial uncoupler[1][2]. For the curious, another example of a mitochondrial uncoupler would be 2,4-dinitrophenol, which is currently being looked into as a potential anti-Alzhe

    Articles like this, and the frustrations expressed, really help to reaffirm my belief that Philosophy, or at least deductive logic, ought to be a necessary part of our public school system.
