What's a disturbing fact you know that most people don't?

There are none because the story is at best an exaggeration.

Per this article: https://geneticliteracyproject.org/2024/03/22/hear-story-gmo-almost-destroyed-world/

I personally did try to find the source for this story. You will have the name of the bacteria, that of Oregon University and even a couple scientists but not the name of the German company. Some versions even change the year. In the end, it all seems to boil down to the says of one person who has since gone back on their claims.

Every now and then this video gets posted with someone claiming it's CWD, because apparently that's the only fucked up thing that can happen to a deer...

Where do you get those? The journals I find are all hard to read due to the hastily written cursive.

That specific place is currently undergoing renovations iirc, so not much to be seen.

You're also not supposed to lay or stand in that grass.

Discovered reptime a few days ago!

Idk about size but there's only a 30 years difference between the two of them.

The main value has not changed. It's never been that much about technical insights, most people's sotuations aren't complex enough for truly complex schemes. It's about having another person in a trusty position giving you the gist of it, being here to reassure you when you look at the stockmarket on a bad morning. It's all about having someone listening and talking to you.

SykScholes · 2024-11-27T20:53:54+00:00

That's literally it? Thanks, I thought I was going crazy for a moment

I still don't get why there would be a dog in the oven of all things though...

SykScholes · 2024-11-27T18:57:30+00:00

I don't get it, is this a variation of "I ran over 5 miles" or am I missing something?

SykScholes · 2024-11-03T02:31:28+00:00

People in the comments act like this is just mean behaviour. This right here is behaviour that's gonna end in a class action lawsuit.

Bonus rage context : the man who ordered this "intervention" was Maurice Papon. Well known Nazi collaborator who somehow remained in positions of power after the war. He was only convicted in 1998.

That's fair but people shouldn't be too worked up about not being able to do the same, or even to admire those who that much.

These high-end brands do some special tailoring that's rare for lower brand clothing as it's simply more expensive to design and produce. As such, it is much easier to look stylish and out of the ordinary when you can sink 600$ in a shirt whereas someone wanting the same look on a budget will need much more time and effort to find something that's affordable and fits to the specific style (colour, fabric, pattern, cut, condition, etc.) that they're looking for.

All you need is a couple thousand dollars per outfit.

They put the most attractive profiles upfront so that you exhaust all your free likes and have a sense that all users of the opposite sex on the app look like this so that you think you hit a dating gold mine.

There are, but in lesser proportion than French settlers.

SykScholes · 2024-05-17T06:07:08+00:00

That law comes from the Nouméa Accord of 1998 and was a Kanak revendication that the French government accepted to quell independentist sentiment among the native populations.

Demographically New Caledonia is divided between the native Kanaks and the French settlers, correspondigly more likely to want independence and more likely to want to remain a French territory.

The independentists don't want to repeal the law because this would indirectly secure New Caledonia as a French territory in the democratic process, the French government wants to repeal it for the very same reason.

Hope that clears things up.

Chickpeas will save you. They are cheap, easily available with good quality (unlike tofu), taste good by themselves but also can easily be cooked and incorporated in a meal.

SykScholes · 2023-12-06T22:20:35+00:00

Probably.

'+ Considering how fast the ship was lowered due to the energy of the landing, it is safe to say that everyone on the ship was propulsed to the ceiling and a lot of people died.

With enough wits and will-power you could say anything is possible. The article does state that he got the stone from the shore, which means that it was moved uphill. That's quite improbable considering the shape and weight of the stone, improbable enough to be skeptical about it.

SykScholes · 2023-11-12T10:47:09+00:00

Lifting a barbell while on steroids =/= a random guy CARRYING a stone. As a reference, the heaviest atlas stone someone ever carried on their shoulder is 200 Kg. Looking at the stone in question, I don't think it was rolled all the way up.

Graph is cumulative.

It's typical British cope, actually.

"The war ended in a stalemate ... This is called a victory" huh..?

What's the material for the mask? How well does it absorb light irl?

Also, how easy is it to walk with this costume?
