The moment anyone in the world starts selling tusks, poachers start shooting elephants and smuggling the tusks into these "legal" markets/auctions.

This is a fantastic question - as this is indeed done for other African animals, like crocodiles. The biggest issue is that elephants cannot be profitably raised in captivity - they require too much food, too much space, and take too long t

A point evolution event can happen extremely rapidly if there's a clearly selective mortality event. If a new predator is introduced to a population that selectively kills only certain traits, that mutation can become dominant in the p

The biggest pressure on variant mutation right now is vaccine-evasion - so the reason the Delta variant has out-competed it is likely because the Delta variant does an even better job of evading the vaccine. In general, I'm disappointe

The 1984 movie did a better job of efficiently explaining what was happening. Two good examples are the pain box and the slow blade penetrate the shield in training. While the new Dune movie mention how they work - they just do a bad job of

Don't you think it's a little biased to cite a blog who's stated intent is to reduce the number of incarcerated people? This is not a trustworthy source on this subject. It's odd you trust it more than the New York Time

Your argument makes no sense because qualified immunity doesn't even protect against CRIMINAL acts, even today.

Why are you narrowly only willing to look at theft related store closures from 2020-2021, and not 2019? While things in SF have gotten worse, the article makes it clear that theft was a key reason these CVSs closed in SF. All the retailers

No, they will all just quit. There is no job on Earth that you could fill, from teacher to plumber to police officer, that literally anyone would do if they were held personally responsible for doing their job wrong on the job. It's

The commenter above doesn't understand how courts work. When a court declines to hear an appeal, they are simply saying that the below court handled the case appropriately. By choosing not to hear it, they ARE ruling on it by maintain

To be clear, it's not translated into the final antibody, but it remains present in the vaccine, and hence in your body - it is what gives the vaccine structural stability in the body. ...and yes, it is standard - it is not covid-vacci

You see the poly(A) sequence at the end? That is what stabalizes the entire structure so that it doesn't denature. I called it a "base", but you are right that it's not adding to the size of the overall structure much.

Any disease that can cause blood clotting will also impact the brain, as well as other tissues. This study focused on the brain, but it's well known that the same sort of damage occurs in other parts of the body.

by q1w2 5y ago
This is wrong in two important ways. 1. The vaccine does not stay in your muscle - obviously. It spreads out from the muscle slowly and does indeed enter your blood stream. 2. It is not put spike protein. It is an exposed spike protein on

The numbers don't add up here. Walgreens closed 17 stores in SF - much more than anywhere else. ...and other retailers such as CVS have disproportionately closed stores in SF as well. The article also doesn't dispute any of th

This is the way the system works. You can call it corruption - but words don't matter. Most judges and most prosecutors function like this.

This is a completely bogus claim, and you really should not be taking content from the guardian seriously - this is a great example why. Apple, in this case, is one of many companies that generally supports various lobby groups for various

Agreed. If there is a gap between how we expect an industry treats customers, and how customers are treated in (like social media), then the answer is government regulation - not some moral shouting in the media. A healthy capitalist socie

Tim Cook was pushing some clever PR there. The reality is that if a company deviated significantly from it's primary goal of attaining profits for shareholders, the shareholders could easily sue to take control away from the CEO - and

Well in the case above - I haven't seen literally any other GOP politician support Gov Parson's effort here. So again - you are generalizing and stereotyping.

One important fact you might consider is that not all Republicans are the same. ...and that the worst actors held up by the media are not even representative of the average. ...and that moreover, you might consider you are intentionally fe
