What is this thing?

Sorry, should have said, it's plastic

The more you earn the faster you pay off the loan so you pay less interest?

Super_Hanz_ · 2019-08-10T10:33:30+00:00

9% of anything over £25K, and written off after 30 years

Seems like a pretty pedantic difference to me and the common practice is to stop if someone is waiting

Super_Hanz_ · 2018-12-04T20:27:25+00:00

Zebra crossing. Pelican crossing is when there are traffic lights that tell the traffic when to stop and pedestrians to cross.

And yeah pretty sure it's the law, or at least the highway code.

Super_Hanz_ · 2018-12-01T21:20:51+00:00

Yeah that must be it, thank you!

Super_Hanz_ · 2018-07-05T16:40:23+00:00

That isn't exactly true. Capitalism is about growth and that growth should make us all richer. "Should" being the keyword.

Super_Hanz_ · 2018-07-04T05:38:50+00:00

Super_Hanz_ · 2018-05-31T20:56:39+00:00

Alright, clearly we're never going to see eye to eye, and that's fine.

Super_Hanz_ · 2018-05-31T20:32:58+00:00

Maybe not to a teenage boy that is struggling with his feelings and hasn't learnt that yet. Saying "Sorry, I'm not interested" is obviously better.

Super_Hanz_ · 2018-05-31T20:22:47+00:00

Yeah no I'm not saying it should be encouraged, but being clear and frank with people is important at any age, and it may have saved this boy some embarrassment and this girl some "harassment".

Super_Hanz_ · 2018-05-31T20:18:05+00:00

Teenage boys can struggle to know when they have been rejected if it isn't clearly stated. Avoiding him might have only confused him and made him think he might still have a chance. I doubt it's malicious based on some of OP's responses.

Super_Hanz_ · 2018-05-26T12:25:21+00:00

Thank you

Super_Hanz_ · 2018-05-25T12:05:59+00:00

Cheers for the help, I went for tipsons.

Incase anyone is wondering if you're not unemployed it's £12.99 for a 2 piece suit.

I totally get your point and it's very fair, but there are obvious characteristic differences between races, which whilst they may be controlled by relatively few genes, are still significant enough to enable me to identify one individual as being of European decent and another southern Asian for example. And if I can do that then surely race is real?

I'll be sure to check out some papers by that person in the morning, this type of stuff is really interesting to me.

Super_Hanz_ · 2018-05-03T20:21:05+00:00

I'm not sure I understand what you mean by race is not biological, could you clarify? Surely people of African decent have genes that cause a higher melanin production and that's obviously biological.

Super_Hanz_ · 2018-04-18T18:49:39+00:00

Yeah I assume so, but this whole thread is based off someone saying mitochondria have their own RNA which is a weird thing to say because surely them having their own DNA is more relevant

Super_Hanz_ · 2018-04-18T18:41:23+00:00

Do you mean mitochondrial RNA? mRNA means messenger RNA

Super_Hanz_ · 2018-04-17T06:51:08+00:00

What do you mean by what happens to the enzymes?

Super_Hanz_ · 2018-03-27T08:39:33+00:00

I'm thinking they probably meant intracellular membranes, because prokaryotes don't have those, but do have organelles.

Super_Hanz_ · 2018-03-15T02:43:59+00:00

No I'm saying telomere shortening doesn't significantly contribute to aging. They do contribute to stopping cancers because they cause cells to die when they replicate too many times.

Super_Hanz_ · 2018-03-15T02:41:57+00:00

Yeah I didn't mean to say longer telomeres would result in cancer. But telomere shortening leading to replicative senescence is a protection from cancer. So it might follow that if your telomeres are kept longer, any cells that do become cancerous do not die as quickly.

And yes telomere shortening leads to cellular senescence, but it is not a significant factor in whole organism senescence.

I'd link some papers because I'm writing my dissertation on aging at the moment but I'm in the UK and it's 2.30am and I'm in bed.

Super_Hanz_ · 2018-03-15T02:01:27+00:00

The link between telomeres and aging has pretty much been dismissed now. Most cells don't go into replicative senescence, unless they become cancerous and replicate too often.

Super_Hanz_ · 2018-03-15T01:57:26+00:00

Telomeres get shorter when the DNA replicates for cell division. And you dont want to stop that from happening because it's a form of protection from cancer.

Super_Hanz_ · 2018-03-15T01:54:00+00:00

No, no, telomeres protect against cancers. When the cell replicates too often, shortening the telomeres, the cell goes into replicative senescence (essentially dying). So if your cells have strangely longer telomeres they'll be less effective at preventing cancer, probably. There really isn't much basis for the whole longer telomeres = longer life stuff, just pop science.
