I think this is kind of true, but not fully. It's not that the peasants didn't own the land, though certainly many didn't, it's that they didn't farm contiguous rectangular fields like is common in America. In older

I think the relevant transplant is bone marrow, since that produces Red Blood Cells. Here is an article about it: https://www.nytimes.com/2019/12/07/us/dna-bone-marrow-transp...

To be clear online chess legitimately has a cheating problem. I think it has gotten better but according to chess.com there have been a number of Grandmasters including some of the top 100 players in the world who have cheated on the site a

The problem is Hans is still playing OTB at a 2700ish level. If Hans is managing to cheat in OTB chess with so many eyes on him, with all the security measures in place, and doing it so he's able to fool all of the anti-cheating statis

Chess is most of these peoples lives. Hans has talked about how basically all he does is study chess, play chess, and eat take out food. He doesn't really have any non chess basked skills.

This isn't really true. He started later then most other high level players, and then the pandemic meant he was studying and playing online a lot without raising his OTB rating. He's a good player but I don't think there is a

Yeah, not a lawyer but reading this the damage and the language (things like calling Magnus "King of Chess") seem pretty extreme.

The introduction of the Prose Edda is really wild. Snorri basically tries to synthesize his understanding of history, the Eddas, and the Bible to explain how many of these are the same people or describing the same events.

Do you have a citation for that? My understanding is he went to boarding school in France at the age of 9 and then directly entered the French military academy. The hero of his youth, Pasquale Paoli, was in exile in England for much of that

This claim seems a little odd to me. I searched more about it and found this article: https://appleinsider.com/articles/22/01/06/gen-z-survey-says... from January saying the exact same thing as this fall

It wasn't an off hand claim, it was something he extensively talked about for years.

I'm sure you could find some pressure where that is true for Kelvin.

Yeah, if someone is saying they are going to tell you where you can find a 100 dollar bill lying on the ground if you pay them $10s I would be suspicious.

My understanding is it was a mix of things. Mao had a barefoot doctor program which emphasized practical learning and getting medical practitioners to rural areas. These practitioners had some valuable knowledge for things like hygiene, but

That's just how homeopathy is supposed to work. I don't think there is any standard about what you can call homeopathic or not, but it's supposed to be the more diluted the stronger it is.

Not if there is actually Zinc in it. If you dilute it in water until there is no detectable amount of Zinc, then it is homeopathic.

I disagree. If there is no physical plausibility for a claim it does not need experimental evidence to be dismissed. Homeopathy is essentially a claim of magic, if I claim I can cast spells on people on another continent to give them diseas

If there is an aisle that says Cold Medicine, and you put a product that is in fact not cold medicine but something designed to look like cold medicine and trick people into buying it because they think it is cold medicine, then it sure loo

"after thousands of years of practices" It's important to note that much of what gets labelled as traditional Chinese medicine today is actually modern and invented by the Chinese government in the 60s.

I think with Homeopathic medicine people usually don't know how it is supposed to work. If you look at the label there is no explanation of the idea like cures like and diluting to an absurd degree, just a list of what's in it, so

by neaden 4y ago
Homeopathy is dismissed because the fundamental idea it claims, that like cures like after it is diluted to an undetectable amount to the point where there might not be a single molecule of it in the dose, is reliant on claims about physics

I think a big part of this is that so many video games are based on violence, without many alternatives. And the ones that are non violent tend to be shorter and more story focused. I think a lot of people want a game that is non-violent, m
