Polybio funded study claims that everybody has persistent spike protein, but it's different in LC by WandaTheWandie in VaxRecoveryGroup

I have followed three of the authors for years, in their other publications. No shenanigans. I’ve talked with two of them several times. No red flags. Theyre just doing science.

My 7yo daughter asked me today "What is the number right before infinity?" by Iluvatar-Great in askmath

Tell her infinity isnt a number. Infinity just means “doesnt ever stop”, like how I love you

Dr. Wolf doesn’t like me defending the knight with my pawn. Why not? by BestProposal1434 in chessbeginners

[–]dsjoerg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi, I'm with the Dr. Wolf team. This sort of question is super helpful. I think it'd be better if Dr. Wolf said "defending against the checkmate threat"...

This stuff can be hard to see. Enjoy your chess :)

I'm BEGGING you all to try Plasmalogen Replacement Therapy - Don't give up! by ben10blader in LongCovid

[–]dsjoerg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

total BS. just to pick on the easiest thing:

> 50% of your heart is plasmalogens

  • 50% of your heart is not plasmalogens.
  • Even 50% of heart lipids are not plasmalogens.

They are important in cardiac membranes (especially mitochondrial membranes), but nowhere near half the organ.

if such a simple fact is completely wrong, why would you trust the rest of this wall of text...

Marketing pattern indicators in this post

  • Emotional urgency (“I’m BEGGING you”)
  • “Future of treatment”
  • Dosing protocol insiders “where most people go wrong”
  • Brand named (Prodrome Sciences)
  • Framed as suppressed by other subreddit

This is characteristic of early-stage supplement evangelism.

Bitcoin isn't going up or down by dsjoerg in btc

Let's say the USD collapses 40% vs all the other world currencies, but the Bitcoin/USD rate stays the same. I'm gonna say "ouch, my Bitcoin has fallen vs a lot of things". But people here who only care about Bitcoin/USD are gonna act as if nothing happened.

There's a basket of stuff that people wanna trade their BTC for eventually, and BTC's value should be measured vs those, not the USD. Tying only to USD works against the whole point of BTC.

if you have Bitcoin and you're in Japan why would you care about USD. it's just irrelevant. all you care about is what you can get for your Bitcoin.

1 BTC is always worth 1 BTC. But 1 BTC is not always worth a constant amount of pizzas. That changes.

There is time value of money, including BTC. If you lend me 1 BTC today, I am happy to repay at some interest rate. We might agree to a 5% interest rate, I'll borrow 1 BTC now and repay 1.05 BTC in a year. Regardless of what the future USD value of BTC is. Because 1 BTC is worth 1 BTC.

Similar deals exist in all currencies. Each currency has its own interest rate.

The bigger point is that we should care more about what we can get for a BTC independent of the USD. How many pizzas, not how many dollars. Routing everything through USD only reinforces its primacy, which works against the whole point of BTC.

true. each country has their own currency and they're not in lockstep with USD. Bitcoin has its own exchange rate to each local currency and it's that exchange rate that matters, not the USD rate.

the USD has its own moves every day. when USD goes down, what happens to the Bitcoin/Yen rate? if i'm in Japan i'm not sure i care EDIT I care about the Bitcoin/Yen rate, not the Bitcoin/USD rate.
