Reply to comment by giuliomagnifico in Changes in Earth’s orbit that favored hotter conditions may have helped trigger a rapid global warming event 56 million years ago that is considered an analogue for modern climate change by giuliomagnifico

Humans and our fairly modern ancestors have been through similar climate cycles around ten times in the last million years alone. And they didn't have anywhere near the level of tech we do.

Peak warm periods always plunge into ice ages. Should be fun watching the world plunge into an ice age. Can you imagine the weather necessary to form glaciers? I'm personally excited.

Reply to comment by MisterEChops in The latest Cochrane Review finds high certainty evidence that nicotine e-cigarettes are more effective than traditional nicotine-replacement therapy (NRT) in helping people quit smoking. by checkmak01

As a vaper,

Pros:

  • breathe easier, not normal though
  • smell and taste return to basically normal
  • extremely low tar
  • no smoke smell, which is great because now cigarettes smell bad, really quite bad, which you don't notice if you smoke

Possible cons:

  • heavy metals
  • low quality juices
  • low quality vape parts
  • contamination

That I can take a puff anytime is a bit of a double edged sword. It means I can take one puff or just continuously puff. I'd be interesting in how vaping relates to chain smoking.

To help me quit I leave my vape at home. Stopped vaping in the afternoons. Then stopped vaping in the morning. Now it's just in the evenings after dinner as a kind of dessert.

It's kind of like smoking weed. You can smoke once a day and you'll get really high and it's a blast. But if you smoke multiple times a day it usually becomes quite dull.

How do you figure?

USA alone hatches over 10 billion chickens a year.

Wholesale you're looking at under a buck a pound.

You really think this stuff with limited supply is going to compete?

How about Olympic sized pools. So do you realize how many of those it would take in equivalent vats to produce 10 billion chickens worth of meat?

How much energy and resources?

You think you can make something more efficient than biology? Hahaha.

Internet people are so hopelessly detached from reality.

Reply to comment by 18Apollo18 in Protein quality of soy and the effect of processing: A quantitative review. This quantitative review confirms that the majority of soy products have high protein quality scores. by grandlewis

I think you've been reading too many studies without practicing discernment.

You realize like half of studies have fundamental errors and that makes the conclusions meaningless, right?

Look at some higher quality studies.
