Bringing new meaning to the phrase "I shit you not"
Just from the titles, it's either A) incredibly dry satire, B) clickbait, or C) the world's largest collection of pre-collated red flags.
Aug 14 2020 (left) and Dec 1st 2022 (right) respectively. Looking through the titles of some of her articles over the past five years, I can't tell if it's satire or not...
At this point, it was 7 seconds from flaming roof tiles coming down. I can only hope he was calling 112 rather than checking his messages.
#2. "Tell Cersei. I want her to know it was me."
Nah, you shouldn't get a enough UV emission from those sorts of electrical arcs. If it was an arc welder or something like that, then yes you'd need eye protection. Time is a factor too - brief glimpses are fine. I wouldn't stare at it for hours a day, would probably some damage that way.
Oh, and it can be a long time before you realise the laser has done any damage to you. A standard eye exam won't show a burnt retina and a new blind spot, only a proper ophthalmological exam will.
Laser physicist here - the laser classes go in order of increasing danger. Class 1 and 2 are generally safe to the eye. Beyond that is Class 3B (dangerous to look straight into), 3R (reflections are dangerous) and 4 (even diffuse scattered reflections can blind you). Engraving lasers are either 4 or 3R (which I'd guess this one is). So non-reflective target and enough distance is ok, but I still wouldn't want to test it out. Put it in a box or get some laser goggles if you want to show off
Street thread
#2 Now that's the Gandhi from Civilization who brags about his nuclear weapons.
Putting aside the comment itself (true or otherwise), the global replacement fertility rate needed is 2.1 children per woman, so it doesn't even work statistically.
That half giggle gets me every time
I sorta think so. I always look at these types of stories from America with despair, seeing hate groups attempting to silence marginalised communities and everyone else having to pick up the slack. At least this story had a good ending!
#2 Google Scholar is pretty decent at finding relevant scientific articles, and appears as the first result if you search advanced topics. But other databases like Scopus, Science Direct and Web of Science (all run by publishers) are the gold standard. University libraries (and many city libraries too) will have access for their members including access to any articles that are behind paywalls. But yea, the world needs more #openresearch
Raisins are an abomination in a loaf of bread.
Or eggs. Or butter. Jaysus, that recipe is for some deluxe luxury soda bread. Looks nice tho.Source: I'm Irish
But the science isn't quite there on many supplements (other than for overcoming dietary deficiencies). There's a lot of ongoing research for various vitamins like biotin (B7) for aiding in regrowing hair and improving skin health for instance and maybe there's a benefit seen in animals, but that's a huge research gap up to human trials. Still cool to see how biology and food science has come on in even the last 10 years.
