In Capitalism, Science becomes an Industry.

Democratic Socialism and Libertarian Socialism aren’t necessarily mutually exclusive.

Rojava itself could arguably be described as both.

Libertarian Socialism. Like Rojava.

Not specifically for Vanuatu. It just seems a superior system if the wellbeing of the people are what’s judged most important.

One of those projects is a pair of datacenters valued at A$120 million ($79 million) that Vanuatu’s government announced last year as part of a strategy to develop an e-commerce industry and ensure the nation can connect to the global digital economy.

… Not a fan of that. Hate that capitalism has been forced upon the people of Vanuatu.

ah yeah, the founder of modern psychiatry.

Given he founded it no wonder they treated being gay as a mental illness and often still do for trans people.

Not for fun.

For grants, citations, and professional legitimacy. Ie. to keep up with the metrics required to not lose your job in modern research.

So am I kitty, so am I

The success rate in humans for something discovered in mice is about 1 in 100.

So a lot of the scientific journalism presenting a mouse model as a major discovery that will revolutionise [X disease] is straight up bad faith clickbait.

Assuming they survived would probably fuck with fish populations and thereby the predators of fish and the predators of predators of fish.

Hey. The penguins i’ve seen in Melbourne look quite happy.

They even won a photo award ;)

It’s actually bears. The north is named by the Greeks after the Ursa Major constellation in the north literally “big bear”. So it’s the bear place. While the south is the opposite of the bears.

Happy coincidence it ended up matching polar bear ranges.

Apparently you could spot these bois chilling in Southern Spain or Florida.

I have great news for you, There’s a documentary series narrated by David Attenbrough called prehistoric planet. And is does exactly this. The next season will be on the most recent period (ie. ice age), so possible we will see these great auks that look like penguins.

For the people like me who don’t know much physics. The answer is Time Dilation.

I know… :(.

I’m sure some of it is worthwhile. But knowing a couple applied researchers who work in animal labs, according to them a large amount of what is done is absolutely useless and only serves to get out a new useless product TM or publish a paper that looks good.

Not really. It causes them stress. “Safe” and “Humane” are variable. But it definitely isn’t the “best” restraint method.

lifting and holding by the tail, and handling using a soft plastic restraint cone, resulted in significant increases in mean arterial pressure and heart rate compared with baseline.3 The authors concluded that being lifted in a restraint cone appeared to be the most disturbing handling method for the rats, followed by the tail method, as determined by prolonged duration of increased cardiovascular parameters as compared with the encircling or scruffing methods.3

As for example explored by this paper: https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10844733/

Noooooo. Poor rattie :(
