Thank you

Even though it’s something that’s technically correct on a philosophical level for SOME outlier patients, and in an ideal world and ideal system we could implement it well, I don’t think our system is anywhere close right now. Working in the healthcare system I don’t know anyone who’s eager for this or who knows how we’re going to sort through the massive haystack of innappropriate requests this will trigger, to correctly identify the few " needles" that it’s actually ethical for.

Can you link that quote? Curious what the source is?

And they’d be starting and stopping all over the place, so the kind of acceleration needed to reach that speed would kill any known organic being via g forces before they’d even suffer from the fire. But he’s one of the fae, so data on them is lacking I guess.

The difference I’ve seen is that people generally seem to be able to call out the crimes or bad behaviour of any of these governments without being called ‘racist to _____ ethnic group’. It has to go both ways, people need to stop blaming the crimes of Israeli governing party on the Jewish people as a whole, AND supporters of the that party’s actions need to stop labelling any criticism of them as antisemitic.

Why is no one choosing 7? Xray vision is absolutely going to be super useful. After that its a tossup between 2 and 3.

What? That’s their sell-out pop song. The rest of their stuff is way better.

Found the anaerobic bacteria trolling as a human. Get outta here!

I get eaten by the worms… and weird fishes…

As you say in your first sentence, language is by consensus. And, the long-standing consensus among ichthyologists is to use exactly this terminology, and you’ll find it consistently across the scientific literature for generations now.

We’re running on theory alone here, but if thats true, then its too inert to be reabsorbed by your kidneys and therefore would pass into your urine and leave your body that way. Also how is it causing cancer if it’s inert?

Well jokes on them, I used it to improve my resilience and adaptability anyway!

Usually when numbers are presented that way it’s because there are many studies they looked at. So I presume there was one study showing a rate of 40%, another showing 70% and the rest of the studies fell somewhere in between those two extremes, with differences likely due to types of games, types of systems, and any number of other factors, including chance. They could have just averaged all the studies and quoted a number like 55% for example, but I think the other way actually paints a better picture of the data. It’s still possible they’re full of shit, but just presenting the numbers like that doesn’t mean they’re pulling it out of their ass.

By refusing to tell the truth to the court, you’re basically refusing to take part in the trial. Which translates to you’re refusing to take part in the justice system, yet also somehow wanting justice … ??

FYI if you can’t hear anything you need to put on one of these brain slugs. I’m wearing one and it’s awesome. Everyone should really get a brain slug.

Sugar is worse.

I think it was scumbag steve, to be precise.

I don’t see a Bay and it’s bothering me

It was where he got his start 20+ years ago, but both him and Sara Watkins (the fiddler) went on to do some interesting stuff to say the least. Their new album was sort of a reunion.

This seems to bounce around the internet with no real legit source to back it up, and when it was posted to a certain website starting with R, there were comments from professionals indicating most of it was complete bullshit.
