Wasn't there a saying back then that "in any highly secretive meeting of three prople or more, at least one of them is a Russian spy"? I think everyone is compromised by everyone.

So nothing notable until friday. A 12 strong group, trying to understand the nature of the universe. Can't say this is super exciting. Friday I guess then.

This is the coolest thing I've heard of in a bit! I wonder if it could be an alternative to thermal vents as a craddle for life!

Is there a word for this kind of "irony", when things purposefully built to deter something fail so spectacularily that they work against their own goals? "The crows used the anti-bird spikes as a sturdy construction material

Do you know if PFAS are only present in meat? Are plants also affected?

I wonder what portion of pros have moved to mirrorless since it's been intoduced? It doesn't change much for image quality, and it forces you to change your lens range or run adapters, it's quite annoying but I'm pretty

Being OC I agree - I was personally shocked and had not read it before writing this "review" It feels gratuitous and shocking, readers beware

Thanks! I know very little about it, just wanted to bring attention.

Since they recorded 1000 swatting events in a year, I assume that most times swat is called their response is warranted - it gets tough to try to vet calls sent to a very fast response group

I don't know the contents of the calls, but if the call is talking about someone armed keeping someone in the house, or someone barricading themselves, swat is the correct response. I think this is just a symptom of having so many weap

I'm not certain how outdated it is. I'm certainly happy with it, and I imagine it adds workload to the console.

I think it's more that cheap, low quality labor was not available for manufacturers at the time, whereas when it did become available they used it. The difference being that labor in the US is "high quality" in the sense that

Unrelated - I'm reminded of the plans for beaming energy from orbital stations gathering sunlight, which instead uses microwaves. I wonder how much these beams interact with the atmosphere? I can imagine lasers interact little, but wou

Would you have any good primer on materials science to point me towards? I find this fascinating!

Just reading the examples in the wiki page blows my mind. How is this not more known? Wow!

Just a quick note: You have to see your gut flora as an actual flora - like a forest. It doesn't get sunlight, you feed it nutrients. Whatever doesn't get fed dies, and what gets fed multiplies. Now the more wishiwashi things is t

I think it has more to do with sanitation than diet directly, many illnesses that kill that way (cholera, for one) flourish to this day in unclean areas, where excrement contaminates the water/food. Not eating rotting food as well, whi

I think it's pretty tough to not nuke the whole flora, all I've heard about it was people taking long courses of antibiotics had very little flora and could develop digestive issues, and at that point transplants make sense.

I'm surprised you're downvoted, you liked 6 papers and are just stating that the link is tenuous, I think that's fair.

They start at 30 k so they are out of the running instantly, and you can't work on your own car, and repairs cost a fortune. Can't even change your own tires if you get a flat! And living up north I'm uninterested in full evs

Oh really? Since when? I have a 2017 in canada without TPMS (tire presure sensor for anyone passing by) and it is the most obnoxious piece of tech I can omagine having in a car. Crazy to think it's mandatory.

We went from 1 billion in 1910 to 7-8 billions in 2010. It's going to keep being this populated, at the rate we reproduce!

I know, the cars that I would like to see appear again (EG Civic, Tercels, etc) were all built at a time when there was an incentive to get people cars to reinvigorate the economy, so cheap gas sippers were a good call, and that's not
