As long as it’s the sperm of your enemies that’s fine by be. Might take a bit longer to harvest though.

Deoxyribose is the ‘D’ in DNA. Just use the blood of your enemies.

Economics actually says it’s far cheaper overall to stop polluting right now than trying to mitigate it in the distant future. But that goes against the short-termism our economic indicators are built around. The line must go up, and shareholders need their maximized profit next quarter. Meanwhile pollution will only become more of a problem the further away in the future you look. And that sounds like a problem for future us.

That record ? CO2 levels at their highest in millions of years and still growing faster than ever.

Dr Becky is an actual astrophysicist (PhD) and her content is great and based on a thorough analysis of published science. Maybe watch the video first next time ?

It works by using the processing power of your device (it can utilize both GPU and CPU) to run scientific calculations when you’re not using it. It can detect if you’re using the device or not and use its processing power accordingly, and you can customize what fraction of your device it can use and when. You can also decide what scientific endeavors (astronomical surveys, protein folding, etc.) are allowed to use your compute power.

That makes BOINC a great way to heat a room in winter provided you’re not annoyed by the eventual fan noises (or if you’re not in the room), since the energy used will also help scientific research at no extra cost for you. This also means that depending on your settings, it can melt a mobile device battery in no time.

Do people really run BOINC on Android ?

I know that’s probably the case, but some people might not know, and thus not grasp the extra humor.

That’s an actual picture of the OVH data center that burned down.

Well, at least this shows he’s an actual conspirationist idiot, and not only faking it to please the mob while getting secretly vaccinated. So, kudos for the sincerity I guess?

Is he going back to playing volleyball ?

They look like they’re all gonna shoot themselves in the face with a smile on said face.

It wouldn’t necessarily be surprising, but I’ve used both and I honestly couldn’t say which one I prefer. That’s why I hoped you would elaborate.

How so?

Quick summary :

During a heart attack, the blood flow that feeds the heart cells is diminished or stopped altogether, killing some of the cells. This is especially problematic since after birth, heart cells pretty much stop multiplying, which makes it difficult for the organism to make new cells to fix the damage.

Not only do the heart cells stop multiplying after birth, they also switch from using sugars to using fat as a source of energy. This switching implies shutting some genes off and turning others on through epigenetic modifications (making some regions of the genome, and thus the genes they harbor, unavailable for the cell).

However, it appears that if you turn off one of the key genes involved in using fat as a source of energy, these heart cells switch back some of the genes involved in cell proliferation on, bringing them back to a more juvenile state where they start multiplying again.

Now, all this is only demonstrated to work in mice so far, but if these results can be replicated in humans, it would open the door to a possible treatment leading to much better outcomes after a heart attack.

That’s -20°C at the peak of the heat wave when it should have been -55°C, for my metric brethren.

I love that it implies that they also have illegitimate interests that they’ll still try to weasel in because 🤷💩

The nine-dash line is bonkers. It covers about 2 millions square kilometers of sea all the way to Malaysia. This is akin to the U.S claiming all of the Gulf of Mexico (1.6M km2) as territorial waters and then throwing in part of the the Caribbean Sea for good measure.

Yeah no nicotine needs to go too. You shouldn’t be allowed to sell a product that is pretty much guaranteed to make you an addict for the rest of your days. And that’s pretty much what the e-cigs makers have been doing, targeting younger customers to ensure they never run out of addicts even after old fashioned tobacco smokers are gone. The only benefit of nicotine is to relieve nicotine withdrawal symptoms. Vape nicotine-free juice if you enjoy it, but nicotine itself should only be sold in pharmacies to people who are already hooked.

Merci à toi, ô pilier communautaire !
