Particularly when there are immunologists that think both of those can be solved by more contact with benign parasites?

This quote could’ve been passed as from Putin and would be believable. Astonishing that people still don’t notice the parallels.

to be honest, painting acupuncture as a way of CCP to take over the world is a reach. However, that doesn’t warrant removal and even less a ban, and that’s the tankie thing here

people when they haven’t discovered you can care about more than one thing yet: (see person you’re replying to)

The funny thing is that nothing shields you from a bad outcome. In the 50s, Czech Communist Party’s “capital punishment recommendation guy” himself got executed.

“Reactionary is just a made-up word to justify lumping in non-MLs with fascists”

Breathe without using lungs! NEUROSURGEONS HATE THIS ONE EASY TRICK!

I use my phone like a sensor for accelerometry when I’m curious about the forces acting on me. Or iI use it as a spectrograph.

Science in general, plus points if it’s something related to microbiology or something in the human body going wrong.

Some companies have made a focus mode. I think this is the opposite of focus mode, the ADHD mode.

That’s interesting, I mean it kind of makes sense considering what plasma is but also kind of doesn’t (how do you keep those from recombining)

Your kidneys have two important goals, and that is to excrete toxins and balance water. There are always similar amounts of urea in the body, but the amounts of water vary.

When you drink too much water, your blood gets a bit watery, and your pituitary stops making vasopressin, also known as Anti-diuretic hormone. In layman’s terms, this hormone tells kidneys to reabsorb water, and if it isn’t there, your kidneys send the water into your bladder instead of back into your blood. So the amount of colorants is nearly constant, but their dilution changes, and that’s what you can see when you drink too much or little.
