In North America, though nations have historically respected the press, journalists in these countries are being challenged by the very institutions on which they report. Journalists and the media regularly face verbal and physical threats

One thing I don't see talked about with reforestation, is that it's not enough to just plants trees . They are merely the most visible part of a forest, and alone die much quicker than when they are surrounded by all the constitu

Yep, this is what they did. They swept through all the big markets a couple years ago and got all the top-selling agents by offering amazing packages. My brother was a top agent in Austin and he got stock, excellent brokerage rates, a lucr

Sounds nice. But in the real world all humans are both sinners and saints at the same time. Good luck being the one with the power to decide what an upstanding citizen is. This is cancel culture in a nutshell. There’s a reason “don’t meet y

I hope so. I haven’t looked at how healthy the study cohorts were to begin with. I doubt they had the same distribution of conditions that you’d find in the general population.

Efficacy describes what happens in a carefully controlled study. Vaccine efficacy is the percent reduction in disease incidence in a test group of vaccinated subjects compared to an unvaccinated group under optimal conditions. Such subjec

I’m curious to see what the actual effectiveness (vs lab efficacy) is of all these vaccines. The gaps can be quite large.

Sounds like all of this and more would be solved by more competition at the carrier level.

Not a comment on this one in particular, but I tend to stay away from documentaries. I have a friend who is a documentary editor and he can take the same footage and tell completely opposite stories with it, cutting here, leaving out someth

Nice theory. But neuroscientists and neurologists don’t know either. Just like pretty much every drug that affects mood and behavior.

This makes sense for big, well researched investigative journalism. But that is not the case for the other 95% of the drivel on most news sites -— the engagement driving crap that keeps the lights on.

Damn useful but at what cost? Unfortunately we often don’t know the cost until 10 to 50 years on. It’s impossible to close Pandora’s box once it’s open. Look at DDT https://www.latimes.com/projects/la-coast-ddt-dumping-

Agreed. The same thing happened with BPA — banned in toys and bottles after decades of harm to be replaced by at least 40 other chemicals that haven’t proven to be unsafe — yet.

You're being downvoted without comment, the implication being that calling the safety into question is heresy and that all vaccines are 100% free of side effects. I am NOT an anti-vaxxer by any means so hold your fire, you who downvote

Just curious, what do you actually do with your sleep data? After trying several trackers and building up a week or two of data I don’t really see a use for it. What’s the point of regularly monitoring it?

We know very little about how the body as a whole functions, especially from a systems perspective. Sure doctors can set bones and give you drugs that are in many cases the physiological equivalent of a sledgehammer, but try asking them wha
