I'm French and I love Amazon. I buy many stuff on Amazon that I have absolutely no idea how I could get them otherwise. That news makes me anxious about Amazon deciding not to offer its service in France one day.

I don't quite understand why the microbiome should matter so much. Shouldn't it adapt to your diet if you stick to it long enough?

Isn't there a law about networks or something that explains these kinds of things? Basically, "money goes to money"? Is so, does the discrepancy described in this article fit within this theoretical framework?

Do veterinarians always perform the actual euthanasia? Can't they tell their clients : "I'll give you the seringe, I'll show you how to do it, but you will do it" ? If not, considering that indeed veterinarians p

Only slightly related, but I once had a chromebook I was very happy about, until after a few years it just failed to boot. I've repaired many linux laptops in my life, usually using an USB key to boot a live system and fix the disk-dr

It's a debated issue among paleontologists, IIRC. Surely, human hunting did not help those species anyway. We also know for sure that in more recent times humans hunted many species of large animals to extinction (like giant birds),

When crop yields decline, food will become scarce. I think the consequences of food scarcity will be social unrest and political chaos. People will turn against each other much before they turn against the environment.

What is the range of evolutionary adaptive capacity, though? Life has survived everything that has been thrown at it in several billion years. We just don't know what it would take to wipe it all. So I don't think the authors w

The comment you're answering to wasn't posing as a scientific remark, it was just bringing up facts from direct and indirect personal experience. So it is weird that you see it as "pseudoscience". I've also lately

Fair enough, but there really is no need to be pedantic. In the context here, "Eating grass" had clear enough a meaning. We're not ruminants. The amount of fiber in food can't possibly be a prime criteria to assess the
