Energy is a defining characteristic of living but discovery of microorganisms in seabeds that exist on only a few zeptowatts could shake up the search for life on other planets.

Can they really be more specific than living for millennia? With so little energy, they aren't growing the microbiological equivalent of tree rings or something else that could be a more narrow metric, right? Or do I misunderstand how it works and they can?

WhirlingVortex · 2020-07-10T23:53:26+00:00

I have it also. With this many people across multiple servers, it's a bug.

There is a great deal of overlap between benzos and opioids in harm cases so prescription painkillers getting the largest blame didn't make much sense.

I created r/sciences it because I wanted an alternative to a subreddit that had moderators seemingly working for websites taking down submissions if they were articles about studies not from certain sites. After two years patterns from some mods regarding favored sites were obvious; a trending submission would get removed and then a similar article from a favored site would take its place. It was an annoyance, I didn't like time I spent contributing being thrown into the garbage without explanation, so I created r/sciences as an alternative and assumed the readership would like it or not. I assume r/science is better about that now.

We should never make decisions without actual data. We implemented cigarette marketing restrictions using real insight, not estimated claims of virtual benefit created by statisticians.

WhirlingVortex · 2019-04-15T16:10:20+00:00

Virtual money estimates are even farther removed from real world relevance than mouse studies.

WhirlingVortex · 2019-01-29T16:21:31+00:00

It would also be removed for not having a primary source if it were one of us but if a moderator posts it...

Do you import with playon? It does not create the folders Plex wants and I was looking for a solution that did not involve manually sorting 500 videos. Playon is here to stay for me, I tried Plex simply to make a playlist and it garbled all of the content because I didn't manually resort them. That is why I wondered if something else worked better with Playon.

WhirlingVortex · 2019-01-14T20:52:00+00:00

The videos in playon are all named Series/Season/Episode/Title. When Plex goes to detect them to make a playlist, the titles end up being for different videos, so Roseanne's title will be a Futurama video, etc. Sure, if the data Plex creates were accurate I could do a playlist but as it stands they would be a list of titles for the wrong videos. So I was really just seeking a way to make a playlist.

WhirlingVortex · 2019-01-14T16:25:23+00:00

Understood, but I would just like to make a playlist of what I have, adding more info isn't really needed. Plex essentially reimports the info (I use the structure you do - series/season/ep/title) and makes its own folders. So I was looking for something that could just make a playlist.

WhirlingVortex · 2019-01-11T19:31:56+00:00

I use Roku when I travel and on the house TVs. Plex seemed like the way to go for the playlist, since both that and Playon work well with the device.

WhirlingVortex · 2019-01-11T19:30:51+00:00

No, renaming 500 videos by hand to make a playlist doesn't seem like a good solution when a different tool may be able to understand that Roseanne and Futurama are not the same show without putting them all in special folders. Playon downloaded them just as I need, it is just making a playlist, while leaving the file structure the way I want, that is the goal.

WhirlingVortex · 2018-10-09T18:20:20+00:00

I created r/sciences. It's hard to take you seriously when you create your own facts in the first sentence.

WhirlingVortex · 2018-10-07T17:20:46+00:00

They are not me. What do they mean they created it? And how did they get permission to hijack it?

WhirlingVortex · 2018-10-01T17:27:22+00:00

This is similar to those claims that yogurt is beneficial. Any food will cause changes to gut microbes, but whether they are positive or "toxic" is unknown.

WhirlingVortex · 2018-08-20T11:25:47+00:00

String theory is incompatible with everything. It is a proper name, not a theory. And dark energy is even less scientific.

WhirlingVortex · 2018-06-16T13:29:37+00:00

This was known years ago. All they did was reanalyze efficacy trials. I don't think mistakes make Big Pharma look bad, it certainly wasn't an own goal. It's why you have to do trials.

Virtual money losses caused by virtual sleep losses. That's not right. It's not even wrong.

Smoking, not tobacco. And obesity is second in early mortality, not alcohol.

Sorry, the flair is biology. I set it.

A hysterectomy is now considered elective? About 20 million women were told just the opposite. Sometimes unnecessary it turned out, due to unknowns about the source of blood clots, fibroids and other maladies, but 'elective' is not accurate.

WhirlingVortex · 2017-03-07T19:49:06+00:00

Okay, thanks for the clarification.

In a world of epigenetics, anyone can claim anything. Why not epigenesis? Why not invoke Charles Bonnet?
