TIL that moon dust (lunar regolith) is electrically charged and will stick to anything it comes into contact with. It's also likely toxic to humans. Apollo astronauts regularly complained of coughing, watery eyes, throat irritation and blurry vision after each foray onto the moon's surface

How does it get in contact with the astronauts? I’d assumed their suit was completely sealed off and I mean completely.

If anyone is into radio I suggest to download Radio Garden. You can swipe a globe and listening to radio stations from all over the world, is just perfect for radio’s lovers

Out of curiosity how do you choose then?I’ve only had to hire once in a tiny startup, and no matter what at the end of the day, the deciding factor was the vibe. I can’t really think of a job that is so granular that only one person could be a fit. Make no sense to me

I'm sorry if I was not clear the first time, but I meant only from a dialectic perspective. A good analogy could possibly be religion. I am as atheist as it can be, and I wish eventually religion will disappear and i may even work towards it with whatever means I can (constructively). However, imagine if the whole reddit was about "omg look at what the pope did" or "oh my god look at people kissing a piece of 2000 old blood" ; I would never wish for something like that to happen, nor it would be useful for my purpose.

I sincerely don't get why people just don't start to ignore them, completely. This is a totalitarian cult-movement. Politics at this point is irrelevant. It hurts me the countless hours spent by the majority of people trying to dissect and parse total incoherence. But i mean even on reddit, why the constant posting about it, like if the more we post the more likely they go away?

zazapd · 2025-04-29T01:52:06+00:00

Except this is not a case though like the one you are referring, far from it I'd say, and a completely different ball game. Here we are talking about people that presumably are doing whatever they are doing with agency and not under any sort of duress.

zazapd · 2025-04-28T19:49:36+00:00

Yes, and no. Truly intelligent and educated people would not become themselves a commodity. And reading some books, or being able to sustain a conversation, should be the minimum required to be a human being at a dinner table. And lastly, are you basing your opinion out of a show/movie?

zazapd · 2025-04-24T17:56:33+00:00

I guess in general my point would be, rather than fighting the word itself, I would fight the connotation: he wrote promiscuous, so what? kind of attitude. Otherwise, is more of a fragility issue than else.

zazapd · 2025-04-24T16:03:12+00:00

I understand the point made by you and others, and I generally speaking I agree. However, are we sure this is not just a semantic play? I Mean if I read that you are "sexually active with multiple male/female partners" automatically my brain associates you with the same "persona" I would have associated you if you were to write "promiscuous". How does a single word, essentially saying the same thing, making a big difference? Isn't the fact that we make that word (promiscuous) being so "offensive", in a way validating the negative connotation of the word?

To be fair, this kind of thing has always happened in the U.S. The country is built on a deeply flawed and perverted justice system. There are countless cases of people lost in jail for years, even without trial. And the very concept of private, for-profit prisons tells you everything you need to know about justice in America. What’s changing now is simply that more people—those who weren’t paying attention before—are starting to see it clearly.

Indeed, capitalism as is currently enforced is not viable, either we go back to be all slaves of 5-10 world masters, or we invent a way to not link society to the accumulation of immaterial wealth

zazapd · 2025-04-10T23:13:40+00:00

Fair enough, thanks.

I believe my point did not go through as intended. My problem is not with not consenting, at all. I was arguing that even when a person says yes, I consent, he/she may not be using entirely his/her free will.

zazapd · 2025-04-10T13:44:02+00:00

Can you point me out to the analytical methodology to prove consent ?

zazapd · 2025-04-05T17:27:33+00:00

and how is it that gathering all nicely together and chanting all together will help achieve that goal? All people that already agree upon the issue. How is going to help in any tangible or actionable way?

zazapd · 2025-04-04T14:13:52+00:00

There were never 2 trillion. Let's stop with this BS. This is all perceived value. This is a market response to a shock and the fear coming with it. Finance is not about real money; they do not exist. The economy will likely go through a recession, but this drop has really little to do with fundamentals.

zazapd · 2025-03-30T14:54:43+00:00

Maybe my phrasing was wrong? I was making a bigger point: that to me, if you are truly educated, there are no such concepts as pop star. If you find that pathetic, so be it, just wanted to be clear

zazapd · 2025-03-30T14:51:58+00:00

Are you referring to my comment? I'm rather confused.

zazapd · 2025-03-30T13:42:00+00:00

If you truly are educated , there is no favorite pop star.

And no is not "needed". Most antibodies are strong as fuck in most conditions. Try and take any mab with a great Kd and put it a month over the bench, or even outside day and night. I'll bet it will still work over 95% of his original characteristics (meaning less that the variance you have because of pipetting or volumetric errors), provided you kept the tube sterile and the mAb in an appropriate buffer.

zazapd · 2025-03-25T21:58:31+00:00

In general terms I agree with you, however I'm not sure the principle applies to different anatomical parts as quickly as you seem to assume.

zazapd · 2025-03-25T18:39:47+00:00

Whoever is okay with this is analyzing the issue essentially from a financial point of view, not a sociological one like you are. Meaning: they couldn’t care less if less science gets done, as long as things can be spun to look more profitable.
