But don't you Icelanders find sulfuric smells – the same that much of the world associates with rotten eggs – kinda comforting, too, because since childhood such smells usually accompany hot bath water from the faucets? :)

When the foundation co-founder & CEO of the development LLC says something – and the same thing, repeatedly, when the topic comes up – that's not as weak as an 'unofficial opinion'. Of course, it could be reversed, and if

That some people have negative reactions – including anxiety, hallucinations, & seizures – to intense meditation has been under-reported, but long known. Here's a story from almost 19 years ago in the SFWeekly: "Bad Vibes- W

Even just photos of the container and robotics, however rough, would feed hackers' curiosity! (But: I can see why you might want to wait to make sure any images provided also put potential food-purchasers at ease.)

Scifi writer Larry Niven later addressed the same 'risque' issue that gave pause to Nabokov & the New Yorker, in his 1969 essay, 'Man of Steel, Woman of Kleenex'. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ma

I don't know where you are, but with so many medical workers now vaxxed in US, my impression is hospitals/etc are mostly eager to catch up on delayed non-pandemic procedures. If your own nearest option is still slow or requires a

If your hunch that the antibiotics' effects on your gut bacteria was the cause is correct, have you considered a fecal microbiota transplant to restore a healthier mix? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fecal_microbiot

I can imagine a certain pure-theorist mindset being confident enough in their reasoning, but not yet their coding, to report this first. Or, strategically holding definitive proof back as a hammer to deploy once the doubters reveal themselv

I got a kick out of a quote Sassaman had in his Orkut profile, circa 2005: "Some day, I will invent a machine that turns all marxists into ants. Then, we will all be happy."

It's interesting that one of your criticisms is that the Internet Archive is too lawsuit-averse - that it takes things down, after requests from apparent rightsholders, too quickly & opaquely. But your other criticism is that the A

But until treatments/vaccines were developed, everyone on Earth had the disease-equivalent, sometimes-fatal status of "no prior immunity to COVID". Sure, the scale is massively different for a young healthy person: "susc

Your video specifically mentions triggering a 'cytotoxic T-cell' - that's a cell that kills virus-infected cells. What's more, it doesn't explicitly state that all the bodily cells that receive the foreign mRNA surv
