Reply to comment by DaleyLlama in eli5: Why and how bad is vaping without nicotine/THC? by DuckPogging
Interesting. This I didn't know about. Do you have studies that studied the liquids in "normal conditions"?

Your link and claim about THC is totally wrong. The problem was with people adding vitamin E acetate to the liquids. This is a problem of manufacturing of liquids that doesn't seem to appear much anymore and has nothing to do with THC itself.
Avoid home made liquids like plague. And avoid vaping if you can, continuous irritation of anything in your body is always linked to bad outcome and we don't have enough data on long term use of vaping yet to rule it out in that case.
Flavors can also be extremely bad and these are even less studied and change all the time. Look at popcorn lung for example https://www.lung.org/blog/popcorn-lung-risk-ecigs
That's one compound that makes damages pretty fast for example (and was well known, so people that flavored ecig liquids with that are criminals)

Reply to comment by MatFalkner in THC and CBD improve wound healing. Phytocannabinoids Stimulate Rejuvenation and Prevent Cellular Senescence in Human Dermal Fibroblasts study says by johnhemingwayscience
Not even. A lot of molecules you can find in any plant including salad would be active on this enzyme at those dosages. This is just a paper adding to the noise unfortunately.

Nobody comments on the fact that the effects are not linear. This only shows activity at low and high concentration not in between, which is a huge warning for assay artifacts. It is impossible that anybody with a little bit of medicinal chemistry experience could have reviewed that work.These are just effects seen in vitro on enzymes and we know these molecules can have effect in-vitro and not in-vivo by perturbing the assay and that's more than likely what we are seeing here. And it is published in a low quality journal. I would be extremely careful with what appears to be poorly reviewed research. Disclaimer: I have written and reviewed for that publisher before and I definitively will not trust them anymore.

Reply to Solvents made from plants could replace the petroleum-derived solvents used today in organic solar cells and transistors. Compounds derived from eucalyptus and other plants are formulated into an ink for printing electronic components. by MistWeaver80
There are two aspects that electronics maker will probably be worried about: energy use (these are much harder to evaporate than most currently used solvent), purity (it is easy to extract limonene at 99% for degreasing in mechanics that's much more difficult at the ppb levels that electronic manufacturing will require). But yes a lot of home solvents used for cleaning or hobbies could also be replaced by those and that would also help.

Reply to comment by AG2dayAG in Greenland's glaciers are melting 100 times faster than estimated by strangeattractors
Yes that's normal because glaciers always tend yo oscillate. The problem is that the absolute amount of ice on glaciers is going down, even if some individual glaciers go up it doesn't make it for the loss.

Great now all those fake open access publishers will stop spamming us to write articles for them.

No it is $21/month for the plugin that does all. You don't pay per color.

Reply to eli5 Bigger people have bigger muscles and a bigger brain. They're stronger than smaller people, but why are they not smarter than smaller people. by Hopeful_Optimist_
You have people that had their brain compressed to half its size by fluids and they were perfectly fine. Intelligence is more about connectivity between neurons, epigenetics and ability to solve problems in current situations than absolute number of neurons.

Synthetic ones are better for tools anyway and even for jewelry most of the time they are preferred.

Reply to comment by Withered_Kiss in Analysis finds antimicrobial drug use in agriculture is much higher than reported. The use of antibiotics in animal farming — a major contributor to antimicrobial resistance — is expected to grow by 8% between 2020 and 2030 despite ongoing efforts to curtail their use. by MistWeaver80
As consumers ? By not buying those products , elect people who care and let other people know about those issues without bothering them (as it could have the opposite effect).
