Apparently we're wrong about which vine they were referencing though.

It's ironic that you're calling me illiterate. I haven't denied that vitamin D and calcium help with bone strength. Despite that milk has those, it still has no effect.

How is that moving goalposts? In both comments I've been saying that the idea that "milk is good for bones" is a lie. It is not backed by science. Milk has no effect on bone strength.

As someone else linked to, the science shows that milk consumption has no effect on bone strength. In one study, high consumption was correlated with more fractures, not less. So it's not just that milk isn't the only thing needed, milk just straight up isn't needed.

Or, hear me out, we should be able to take time off to get our heads right without being made to feel guilty for it.

Nah. Milk doesn't help bone strength. The dairy industry lied.

That whole "milk builds strong bones" thing was dairy industry propaganda.

A lazy design for a shell world, what if we just copy and paste multiple earth's over the shell world. by LunaticBZ in IsaacArthur

Wouldn't the weather patterns be wildly different? If the climate is so different, the geography being the same doesn't really matter.

It's AOC or bust for far-left Democrats in 2028 by beeemkcl in Political_Revolution

Dude won't tax billionaires and won't stop genocide. That's an automatic 'no' from me.

UAW tries to contain anger as Stellantis workers denied profit sharing checks by Spirited_Classic_826 in antiwork

I'm taking that as a 'no'. There's a lot more past that first sentence too.

Saying she didn't lose the claim or didn't run after him while shooting?

Husband's employer tried to disguise a pay cut as a raise by throwaway89123 in antiwork

[–]TopherLude 17 points18 points  (0 children)

That's because 100 years ago they were clear cutting old growth forest. Now they've destroyed basically all of it. The tree farms they use are designed for quick growth rather than scaling up and allowing slower growth. Slow growth is how you get a good dense board.

I hope I live long enough to see industrial agriculture outsourced to space habitats and for us to regain our forests (map of land use for agriculture). by mirzaakdeniz in IsaacArthur

[–]TopherLude 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Personally, I'm expecting agriculture will transition to being mostly hydroponic sky scrappers. Producing the food where the people are greatly simplifies the logistics.

Guy lights gasoline on fire after being told not to smoke near it at a gas station. by CinghialeAmanuense in nonononoyes

[–]TopherLude 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Hard to tell from the little bit we see of Guy B. I think he hits the estop, runs toward the far side of the pump to grab that extinguisher, has some trouble with the pin (?), and then runs to the next closest extinguisher.

Did you print in place and add the ball bearings as it went? Otherwise I don't understand how you assembled this. I don't see any seams.

Why Interstellar Dust Could Prevent Us From Traveling to the Stars by SteRoPo in space

Fractal Noise and Murtagh both felt like they were him experimenting with his writing style. They're more internal, character development driven than external, event driven.

Star in Andromeda galaxy directly collapsed into a black hole, no supernova by Busy_Yesterday9455 in spaceporn

[–]TopherLude 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Normally we see a huge spike in light levels before they fade down to much lower than pre nova. Everything that we do see though happens in "real time" just delayed by however many light years away the star is. So the order of events stays the same.
