How does low infant mortality refutes the poor economic prospects of millenials, a generation having less kids than any to date? That is a complete non-sequitur. Median household income is very marginally higher than ever, while debt is sub

And outside of the context of the battles they were dependant on food and clothes they stole from civilians, which ended up killing millions

That sounds interesting but does it mean hours of doing a mundane grindy task like mining in EVE?

Having studied the Eastern Front extensively, incidents like this would not even have been significant enough to be recorded in the context of the Soviets or Germans. Stalin and Zhukov both actively condoned the rape of women and the atroci

The firebombing would have brought the war industry to a halt but wouldn't have resulted in surrender. The alternative would have been Operation Downfall, a conventional invasion expected to cause up to 10M casualties and involve chemi

I've had quite the opposite experience. I've made maybe 20 real life friends that I met first on the internet (primarily Twitter) and almost all of them have proven to be at least as funny intelligent and likeable as online. Almos

Regrowing literal hair follicles is seemingly more difficult as they are each small, complex organ attached to a muscle (arrector pili) and they become damaged by fibrosis from the inflammatory process of hair loss. It seems trivial but it

This situation to me exemplifies the short-sightedness of millennial parents shoehorning their 5 year olds into wanting to be programmers because it was a meal ticket 2 years ago

True but that's probably 2 orders less. Ideally it would be done with electric vehicles at carbon neutral factories

by perseusmandate 7y ago
IPs are crucial to understanding the actual carbon output. Often times analyses are simplified to the point that they discount that miners are using uncommonly cheap power sources like Icelandic geothermal

Given the razor thin margins of BTC the miners are heavily incented to use the cheapest energy possible. And as miners exploit cheaper energy they deploy more ASICs, raising difficulty and decreasing margins for the remainder. As such miner

What you said still doesn't make sense. Binance coin lost value accordingly, why would the underlying asset stored in the bank lose value?

One crazy fact is that the development of the B-29 (which dropped the atom bomb) was actually more expensive than the Manhattan Project itself

$40M in theft for a $200B market cap coin is trivial and should have almost no bearing on the price. When someone does a bank heist USD doesn't get devalued

How has such a shitty local government not gotten voted out? I understand the NIMBYism driving it and perverse incentives for housing owners but the approval rate has to be crazy low

Great idea- let's just ban the jobs while we are at it and the problem will be solved

If you look at the CFS forums they are trying all kinds of crazy experimental therapies, many of which have side-effects and few of which have any effects Another interesting correlary is the pelvic floor dysfunction world. It is mostly a s

It isn't just that the suffering from mental illness is real, it causes very real physical health issues and deeply disrupts your body's hormonal makeup via the HPA axis. The strict delineation between physiological and psychologi

Have you read The Body Keeps the Score? Extremely well done book that comes to a similar conclusion

We're well beyond the era of "poorly approximated" virtual instrumentals. Most orchestration you hear nowadays is virtual and developers like Sample Modelling make stuff indistinguishable from the real thing I'd much rat

Even more absurd to me than Cortes' conquest of Mexico was Pizarro's conquest of the Incas, an empire which was larger than both the Mayans or Aztec. IIRC Cortes had ~1500 conquistadors on his side and Pizarro had ~500

If this were inclusive of coffee though I suspect the number would >90% I trust you can understand caffeine is not equivalent to amphetamines

I'm also on Wellbutrin and Lamictal and think it is a very underrated combination. I highly recommend you read The Body Keeps The Score. Immensely insightful and well researched book that will change the way you think about overcoming

Having gone off antidepressants cold turkey 4+ times withdrawal stuff is wildly overblown, which is corroborated by almost all the literature It probably has more to do with a relapse back into depressive symptoms than anything in most case

There have been experiments directly relating the administration of inflammatory endotoxins to immediate depressive symptoms. All of the stuff you mentioned pertains to inflammation. If gut bacteria is disharmonious or not getting enough fi
