There’s some evidence for the same mechanism of action reducing PFAS:

Case studies are not scientific evidence, they’re well-documented anecdotes that suggest the need for scientific study.

Professors literally get like $0.03 per copy of a book sold. Your professors make you buy their book because no one else teaches the class like they can. It’s their expertise that you’re paying for when you go to college to study under them. They’re making sure that you have something related to that that lasts.

Wankpuffin is actually a specific example (given within the paper) of British vulgarity considered in this study.

Even somewhere warmer, I’m a 2 year-round, too. I just have one very cool sheet that I use in the summer.

Methods sections are limited in word count, and if a lab is hoping to get a few more papers out of a paradigm, they may be intentionally terse. There’s a big difference between how we write protocols in-house and how we write limited-length methods sections.

Nothing in the Frontiers is reputable among scientists. It gets linked a lot on Reddit because it’s open access, but scientists tend to view it as essentially the not-actually-peer-reviewed equivalent of a preprint. In the past, if all reviewers recommend rejection at Frontiers, the editor would be forcibly assigned new reviewers by the publishing staff. This would continue until the manuscript would get accepted. Not sure if that’s still the same (I’ve blocked all Frontiers emails), but it’s not correct to call a Frontiers journal a major reputable journal.

The pot in my ass

The Gen Z bit is accurate, at least for current college students. I’m amazed at how little they do, how few relationships they have, etc. I actually feel quite bad for them.

I actually don’t know the way you’re supposed to beat Super Metroid “correctly.” I’ve always done what I ended up learning was a major sequence break resulting from a bunch of bomb jumps to get the power bomb early, and use that to get some other stuff that allows me to beat the game out of order.

I also never start Metroid Prime without immediately getting the double jump. I used to be up there on speed running that game. I don’t play the player’s choice or switch versions whenever I decide to crack it out. The original was literal perfection.

You can buy a share or two of TSLQ to hedge against TSLA while still holding your index funds

I don’t internet without uBlock. I honestly couldn’t imagine it any other way.

ONLYOFFICE (sorry for the caps, poor name) has better docx compatibility than WPS or any other suite. It’s the only thing I’ve found that can do everything in an academic style paper without issue. In addition, its source code is open (unlike WPS) and it has Zotero and Mendeley integrations. Its Zotero integration was better than its Mendeley integration last I checked.

I’m a professor and use ONLYOFFICE as the only word processor on my office computer.

Edit: apparently the Zotero plugin needs to be updated.

Same. I still occasionally browse Reddit, but I have a rule that I don’t post or comment there. I do post and comment here.

ONLYOFFICE (sorry about the caps, poor name choice IMO) has even better docx compatibility, and its source code is open

No need to apologize. Everyone has their own strengths. I’m fortunate in that I’m the stereotypical, “great with math,” type. I’m in the sciences, and lack of social awareness isn’t as harshly judged in the sciences as it is in most other domains.

Not relatable. I’ve never had anyone tell me that they thought I wasn’t.

I envy you.

This has essentially no overlap with ADHD. It’s just a pop/incorrect understanding of ADHD. People with ADHD won’t do many of those things, and people without ADHD can do all of them. There’s even some reason to think this graphic could be inversely indicative of ADHD. For example, the only research of which I’m aware on ADHD and metaphor or analogy is actually that individuals with ADHD are worse at processing and understanding metaphors and are worse at analogical reasoning.

Yeah, I understood. My reply wasn’t actually directed at you; sorry for not being clear. I just wanted to add that bit in case other readers didn’t know that this was more forceful than a request.

They weren’t asked, they were mandated to do so directly by executive order. I get the desire to not comply, here, but if I’m NIH, I’m probably thinking that complying to keep the doors open for four years will do a hell of a lot more for the country than if they refuse and Trump totally dismantles their entire architecture with enough time that it’s difficult to reinstitute when he’s gone.
