I'm sure some people in this world consume an unholy amount of sucralose.

It's almost like we need fossil fuels to continue our way of life and it's isn't feasible to shut them all down.

Reply to comment by manocheese in Study uncovers a surprising level of heterogeneity in psychopathy among condemned capital murderers: While a substantial proportion of the offenders exhibited heightened psychopathic features, others showed no signs of psychopathy by HeinieKaboobler
Where's the data on that? People in the US are among the most unhealthy in the world, have some of the highest rates of anti anxiety, adderall and opioid prescriptions and very little community structure compared to European cultures. It's a breeding ground for extremism.

It's part mental illness, partly environment. Basically people are more isolated now than ever before so they have less people to regulate their own behavior and so they become more extreme untill something happens. You are a product of your environment.

Considering wood is a terrible conductor I don't see this as useful in the slightest.

I think what the writer gets wrong is the base assumption that democracies are the most fair form of government and can't be oppressive to the point of needing protest. For example 20 people voting to take the wealth of the richest person is a democratic but isn't exactly fair. This is why a republic is better as it doesn't allow for the overriding of existing rights despite a majority opposing them.

Reply to Amia Srinivasan, philosopher: ‘We must create a sexual culture that destabilizes the notion of hierarchy’ by Logibenq
Has anyone noticed she sidesteps or reframes most of the questions? It feels very lawyer like as they basically make up their own question and answer that instead of what the other person was actually asking.
I also don't agree with her notion of sexual selectiveness and that we are forced to put a value to people because society bullies us into wanting certain traits. Basically no matter the stigma I don't think that obese men or women or asymmetry will be a desirable body type no matter how much we try to condition that out of people because those are evolutionary markers of health and fitness.
I also would like to see what her definition of hierarchy is and what part she wants to get rid of. Hierarchy gets a bad rap but it's also essential(as far as we know) to organize people to be a productive work force, how can anything get done if everyone's say is equal? Decisions would take far longer and people without the relevant experience could lead to a tragedy of the commons as they aren't aware of the consequences of their actions.

Reply to comment by NBAccount in Lopsided star cluster may disprove Newton and Einstein, controversial new study claims. An uneven distribution of stars in several nearby clusters may offer evidence of MOND — a controversial theory of gravity that disputes Newton and rejects the existence of dark matter. by nimobo
To be fair dark matter is pretty out there as a hypothesis. We can't even measure it and it's concentration should vary in different parts of the universe.

Reply to comment by swiftcleaner in Indigenous people are less likely to survive the year after an ICU admission. 12 months after being admitted to intensive care, an Indigenous person is more likely to have died than a non-Indigenous person, according to Australian research. by MistWeaver80
in Australia half of the people that live in very remote areas and 18 percent in semi remote areas are aboriginal which is high considering they only make up 3 percent of the total population. this means that many aboriginals live in remote areas and are less likely to follow up with healthcare needs since the hospital is further away or has less specialized resources.

Reply to How do genetics create diverse children? by THRWLT
Because of crossover. When you get half of each parents DNA it's not the same halves as your sibling but pretty random bits and pieces to make up each half. There is also DNA expression so even people with the same DNA will have different active genes over time which will alter there appearance.

To be fair most progress has only been in the last few years so we will likely see rates improve at a faster rate especially if we can find better screening methods.

They might not have to since wind will likely still blow at night and you have solar during the day for peak usage. They will need excess capacity however for low output days.

That's pretty big. So basically we figured out the main regulator of metastasis for cancer? Thing is how to we force NALCN to regain function? Or can we target and kill cells that lack this function?
