Removing an episode for being racist (even though this one wasn’t racist) is not cultural genocide. Wearing blackface (I know, this wasn’t blackface) is not a culture that needs to be preserved.
Specifically, the corresponding author (which should have their email listed in the publication)
Keep in mind you may get an “uncorrected proof” or “author copy” since many authors don’t want to run afoul of their publisher’s guidelines on giving out copies
Many publications on arxiv (or biorxiv or medrxiv, etc) are early drafts, or otherwise not scientifically rigorous and wouldn’t be published in an actual journal due to failing peer review. Take what you find there with a grain of salt.
Although you should also take any single peer-reviewed article with a grain of salt as well.
Hi, English isn’t my mother tongue so I was asking myself that question since I first encounted a w/… Back then I was like: “What tf does ‘w slash’ stand for?” And when I found out I was like “How, why, and is it any intuitive?” But I never dared to ask that until now
I’m not sure if it’s just me but it seems when I drink something sweet it stops being noticeably sweet only a couple mouthfuls in and I’m starting to wonder if it’s just me
This is normal. It’s also why, if you drink lots of sugary drinks, things like unsweetened tea or sparkling water (without sugar) become flavorless until you cut out the sugary drinks for a few weeks. Only after that will you begin to taste the natural flavors.
Not sure if this is a joke, but yeah. For me, it’s got a bit of acid (from the carbonic acid byproduct of carbonation) and a subtle sweetness. Plus whatever flavoring they add
It’s subtle, but yes it tastes “almost” sweet despite there being no sugar.
Do you drink sugary drinks or eat sugary foods on a regular basis? There is some research showing that excess sugar intake can drastically reduce your body’s ability to sense sweetness.
I think the problem is that a lot of shows become overhyped once they reach a certain level of popularity. While you may have enjoyed it if you came across it naturally, the hype you’ve encountered around it makes you expect more. Avatar and Parks and Rec are great shows, but they’re definitely not the best shows of all time (although I do really love Parks and Rec) and you’d probably expect them to be these amazing shows if all you know about them is the hype from superfans.
We don’t prove negatives in science, or in medicine. We just know that in the studies we have performed, we have not noticed any meaningful effects and we can conclude there is likely no observable benefit to taking the drug for that purpose.
So I have a pretty severe peanut allergy which means Ive never purposely ate a peanut and have therefore never tasted one without being in panic mode. People have told me that they taste like regular nuts which just makes me more confused. If you were given a selection of other nuts like cashews and almonds, what would compel...
The thing that tastes “creamy” is the saturated fat, the same type of fat in butter and cheese. Peanuts are around 6.3% saturated fat by mass, and cashews are 7.9%.
Oh, it’s definitely likely to be more than just saturated fats at play. My post was a) a gross oversimplification, and b) probably missing some nuance that I’m not informed on. My doctorate is in cognitive psychology, not nutrition science :)
It won’t replace entire ground crews, because the machines will break down. You’ll need someone to service them, and a small team to act in case there are no backups.

Thanks for the information. Each of these are indeed troubling. But I think it’s disingenuous to say “science” is at fault for these. Shitty people doing shitty things for their own shitty reasons seems to be at play. Some of those reasons are for scientific funding or clout, but I think I comfortably speak for a lot of scientists when I say the scientific output is not worth it.
I think we’re mainly on the same page with a lot of this, we just have different descriptions of who we think the bad guy is. My view is that humans have the capacity for great evil, especially when motivated by profit or fame, but that science itself isn’t the root cause of this evil but is instead a catalyst enabling people to become famous as a result of it. It’s the fame, in my opinion, that drives people to do these terrible things. Science itself doesn’t really benefit, and is arguably hurt, by these actions, since there are likely other less harmful ways to research these topics.
Of course, I am biased. I have a career in science, after all. But I do genuinely believe that science does not require these terrible actions to thrive.
Attention, both directing where you want it and stopping attention where you don’t, as well as working memory and planning are what comprise executive functions.
Why is the DEA and ATF separate? Seems like they cover similar things from similar circles.
Is it because alcohol, tobacco, and firearms also have legal pathways? So they spend time tracking down cheats and checking/enforcing regulations?

Where did the abbreviation "w/" for "with" come from?
