Both studies directly and outright measure only correlation. There is no magical confounding variables adjustment. They outright state this. The first directly says that their higher sugar substitute group had a higher BMI, lower activity,

Nowadays? These sorts of tosser articles have been the norm for many decades. And if you think this is bad, boy you should see how wellness influencers twist fact into some massively distorted nonsense to sell gullible rubes their books&#

The particle that is emitted from an alpha decay isn't actually called a He atom (I edited my root comment so this isn't misleading, apologies) -- I was being loose with terminology -- though it has the right number of protons and

Recently had to deal with radon in a basement, leading me to a fun side trek of learning about uranium decay (it has been a lot of years since chemistry classes). When you hear about alpha decay of radioactive materials, that is the matter

Is this one of those things where Americans ascribe all of the outrageously massive military machine of the US -- the vast majority of which has nothing to do with Europe (see: Being a subjugate vassal state of Israel, which almost always

A similar situation occurs if you bring up usurious bank charges, such as overdraft fees. I lucked into an aptitude for a lucrative paycheque/career, but somehow I still manage to feel enormous sympathy for people being utterly robb

So you're just replying to the headline, not the actual article. Useful. Apple, just like Microsoft , has a driver signing process because drivers have basically system-wide access to a system. There is no evidence that nvidia has tri

The flak is basically variations of "but I want it cheaper!" whining. The hysterics, the whiny "I'm taking my ball and going home!" nonsense, and so on, is just a wrapper around that entitlement. The API is there. I

China is not going to militarily take over Taiwan. The most likely outcome now is a "three state" China where it joins the fold voluntarily and becomes a puppet state of China. Given the way the world has gone, it's the only

The people literally are the position. They wield absolute, unchecked power over the might of the US government. What a bizarre thing to complain about. Trump could literally end humanity tonight. You understand that, right? This proud-he

Uh...what? Do you know what an ad hominem is? Bizarre. I directly described the United States of America as it is today. This is just fact, and to the entire rest of the world, America is a busted idiocracy that represents by far the greate

Neat, but why would you want a clumsy LLM to know what happened with your security system? Things happened or they didn't, and that's what dashboards are for. Seems like trying to make a need from the tools. My security system fro

Militarily, absolutely. Absolutely no one misunderstands this. It would destroy the US on the worldwide stage, and even internally. Not to mention it absolutely annihilates the American delusion that you're the "good guys".

I have no idea what your "opinion" is here. You ran in to defend someone, bizarrely, and you keep yipping about how you're being gaslit. Bizarre stuff. Wait, maybe you've been an LLM all along! Anyway, I think I'm d
