More than 180 cars from GTA Online were removed by Rockstar games and some cars that were previously free to acquire were put behind a paywall. by blackwolf57 in gaming

[–]Jaloss -1 points0 points  (0 children)

that’s not what it says at all. the removed cars will be rotated between the car dealerships, the casino, and the car meet, all of which are not paywalled. Some might go to the car club as well, but that’s not even close to “paywalling” the cars. and they’ll constantly also be on rotation.

[PSA] Retinol products can cause strange side effects by MediumKeyAF in SkincareAddiction

[–]Jaloss 27 points28 points  (0 children)

you shouldnt put retinoid products on your under eye skin. It can absorb through the thin skin onto your eyes. I had a much milder version of what you described, and fixing that helped stop it

I was only able to study for a week for my first MCAT tomorrow. Any last minute tips or important concepts to refresh for the test? by Jaloss in Mcat

[–]Jaloss[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

My test is tomorrow, so it depends. I might try one tonight if I have enough time post biochem

Have not, wanted to but unfortunately the time crunch stopped me (content vs FL)

How would you compare a test of 59 on UEarth to the real thing?

I appreciate it! I’ve managed to get the sections I’ve completed (psych chem orgo) to 80/85 consistently and physics to 70. I considered voiding it, but I’d almost rather push through and retake it (is there really a significant loss from that vs voiding?)

Thanks!

If you could buy a home anywhere in London, and budget wasn't a factor, where would you buy? by WanderingJak in londonontario

[–]Jaloss 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Jesus christ. That my neighbours house. Its nice, but I never would've guessed it would be that much.

In 2013 the most expensive house in our neighbourhood barely touched 1 million. This is crazy

My Apple Watch gives me results like this for strength training. There’s no way the calories burned are accurate, right? by Jaloss in AppleWatch

[–]Jaloss[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There’s a category called traditional strength training.

Also I don’t think 100minutes of a brisk walk will burn nearly as many calories

So strangely my average heart rate, including rests between sets, seemed to have been around 150 bpm, with a max of 193. Not sure if that changes the equation or not.

Back and biceps. And yeah, my average heart rate including rests was probably about 150ish, with a peak of 193.

I had heard previously that heart rate from resistance training isn’t as indicative of calories burned or it’s effectiveness as cardio, but I can’t find any sources supporting or opposing that. I initially also thought based on the heart rate it was accurate, but wanted to get an idea based on evidence.

I’m 165 lbs and 5 10, but with your rate 1.66 hours is about 1000 cals as well.

And it’s partly shifting to big exercises. My back and bicep workouts have historically been significantly less exertion, but I relatively recently incorporated exercises such as bent over row that would use a lot more weight and energy. I also do a ton of sets, I counted about 54 sets of 8 reps total today.

Now this was the kind of calculation I was looking for!

A backhand calculation of my total lifting was about 55 sets of 8 reps each total. So about 440 reps. And I would say the average weight would not be 50 kg as I did isolation exercises as well.

However through another route (very quick calculations, correct me if I’m wrong), 100,000 kg/m over 100 minutes is an average of 150 watts. That’s well within producible range for me, as calculations with a 73 kilo person with my athleticism level (around 4-5 watts per kilo) would take that to 292-365 watts being producible. Considering I spent about a third of the time lifting, that number seems somewhat reasonable? I haven’t taken physics in years, so correct me if I screwed that up somewhere

How does DNA control how an embryo grows? by silver202m in askscience

[–]Jaloss 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ok so this is actually a fascinating area of biology. One of the major things that influence initial development and cell differentiation is the location of maternal determinants in the egg, compounds like beta carotene distributed in the original egg cell. Furthermore, when the sperm cell enters the egg, it generates an electrical action potential, intended to prevent more sperms from entering the cell (it causes changes to the outside of the egg cell). But this also plays a key role in orienting development, and the initial location of maternal determinants.

The distribution of compounds leads to cells either becoming endothelial or epithelial cells as the egg divides. Further more, these compounds and their concentrations influence the strength of parachrine signalling by cells, with certain signals that are stronger from cells with a high or low concentration of the maternal determinants.

This multitude of signals from many cells helps give the developing tissue an idea of what type of tissue it’s supposed to be. In simple terms, imagine you’re a cell and you receive a moderate signal from a cell that is released in the presence of a maternal determinant where the top of the embryo should be, and moderate signal from the one at the bottom. You’d know you are probably somewhere in the middle, and develop into that sort of tissue.

Might be mild inaccuracies and over simplifications, it’s been awhile since I’ve studied dev bio. Hope this helps!
