Conversations are locked inside Discord the same way conversations are locked inside IRC, it's a community chat rather than a knowledge base/QA like stackexchange.

Fortunately there's a lot more to it, the linked article discusses the difference between believing in something and thinking it's true, juxtaposing that with questions of what offers us most comfort in the face of existential dre

In the vast majority of cases high BMI maps pretty directly to obesity, the number of bodybuilders hanging out in the obese and morbidly obese ranges is a vanishingly small number in comparison to those overweight. It's easier to just

The parts of vaccine development that we fast forwarded were not the research phases, it was the bureaucracy about funding. Vaccines do not get "long term" testing because the immune system is typically done responding within 5 we

That link is not really that compelling, some of the points made, like this: > Only 0.6 percent of black men experience physical force by the police in any given year, while approximately 0.2 percent of white men do. Come across as misle

Please talk to real people rather than reading things online and taking them as fact. This is on the face of it a completely ridiculous claim to make. When you announce to an entire classroom that someone is overweight and unhealthy that pe

So does Go, soon (TM) But it's not really a big deal in either case, I've never seen generics used in Python and aside from when developing libraries I've never needed them in Go.

True, but it's also disingenuous to imply you're forced to do something because the alternative to that action puts you in legal peril. In the same way a factory owner is "forced" to comply with OSHA lest they be in le

No one is forced to do anything, iirc that couple never got that cake. Businesses are free to refuse service to people within protected groups, they're just risking legal action when they do. That's the trade up.

I like how all ecological caretaking gets rolled together into a big green lump to poke fun at, as if the plastic straws ending up in the ocean and energy conservation are obviously the same thing.

I think there's a misunderstanding here about what parts of the study process got fast forwarded, leading to speculation that "long term effects" did not get tested in the way they would normally during vaccine development. V

From what I can tell there's no evidence that the testicles produce any faster when emptied compared to full. Is that a thing?

It's really disheartening to read stuff like this as an autistic person. So let's dispense with some of the mythology: > Yes. It's a mental disorder. More accurately it's a neurodevelopmental disorder. It's not l

Having been in a couple BBC offices, they really do just have strange furniture all over the place. It wouldn't shock me if those tables came from one of the top floor meeting rooms rather than being made bespoke for this purpose!
