Good to see this study coming out. There's surprisingly little research like this considering how ubiquitous pthalates and plastics are in our food/drink and physical environments. In the late noughties everyone switched off BPA t

Exactly. People overlook this fact constantly. There is no selection pressure for a virus like this to become more or less deadly. Just pressure to become more transmissible within our mixture of vaxxed, unvaxed, and some natural immunity.

I remember back in the winamp days thinking "this is awesome, I can't wait to see how much more awesome this is in 15 years!". Alas progression in tech can't be taken for granted.

I use Android because of the walled-garden approach to data that Apple tries to funnel its users into. The privacy issues give me pause however.

Ultra wealthy aside, this is about comparing the world's wealthiest economies to the world's poorest. There's a 10:1 ratio of energy usage in USA vs India for example (per capita).

The worlds poorest use far less energy than the worlds wealthiest. If we want a world where the worlds poorest can rise, energy policy needs to be softer on the poor, and the richest will have to pay more of the cost. The rich countries ros

For me I think it was a manual for BASIC at age 10. It was fascinating, and I learned from an early age what a mess you can get into using GOTO statements. I have painful memories of having to renumber the lines in order to shoehorn new cod

It's not, but it does correlate with the highest performers in endurance sports.

That's true and a good point I kind of erased from my memory. There was a lot of pushback from the medical establishment around masks at the beginning here in Canada as well. That was extremely frustrating to witness. This problem is a

Not just the government, but the people they govern. Look how many people have been unwilling to do even the most simple intervention - face masks. It's going to be hard to get these types of laggards to accept the changes we need to m

This happened to a friend of mine. However he was eventually able to reverse the situation through a cumbersome legal process.

This could benefit the soil as less land will be needed to produce the same amount of food. This would allow more land to lie dormant with nitrogen fixing plants, allowing wider periods between crop rotations. The deeper roots could also be

I became immune too, as a kid I decided to "make peace" with mosquitos. I stopped caring so much about being bitten, and soon after stopped getting bumps and itchiness. I guess this happened just because I was bitten enough to ada

You're right, taken in a medical context there would be no risk of this. Just wanted to put the bladder damage risk on the radar, so that people are aware that there are physical consequences to abuse. You know, a lot of people self-me

I totally agree with the perspective in that blog. I just wanted to mention one of the known dangers of chronic ketamine use in the spirit of harm-reduction, because I don't think the bladder damage risk is that well-known, and sometim

Not sure on the numbers, but immunocompromised people (undergoing cancer treatment for example) often can't build antibodies after a vaccine. Those people are really vulnerable and depend on an immune herd.

Italian, Portuguese, French (and others) have basically the same word too. You can even see how "avoidable" comes from that cluster of words, something I never noticed until right now.

Can't we already predict Carrington-like events by watching for massive solar flares? I thought even at the time astronomers saw it coming in advance. Perhaps this is just a more precise measurer; a space-weather bouy in our backyard.
