"I think the biggest concerns are that people elsewhere forget about us and they think, 'Oh they're just the conservative state, and they're all country bumpkins. Don't worry it will never happen here.'
"And the next thing you know, it is happening in other states that are ultra-conservative."
Say you did a study that discovered that folks who actively run are statistically unlikely to have respiratory issues. How much of that is because being physically active acts as a kind of preventative maintenance vs how much of that is a kind of self culling, where folks with respiratory issues are unlikely to seek exercise.
The end result is ultimately the same, but the mechanics behind why are different.
Is the wolves’ natural cancer resistance just kicking into over drive, or is natural selection happening?
The researchers discovered that Chernobyl wolves are exposed to upwards of 11.28 millirem of radiation every day for their entire lives - which is more than six times the legal safety limit for a human.
Ms Love found the wolves have altered immune systems similar to cancer patients undergoing radiation treatment, but more significantly she also identified specific parts of the animals' genetic information that seemed resilient to increased cancer risk.
I find it fascinating how there are so many high profile POIs in that list. Like, specifically that they’re high profile and not from the same line of work.
If you’re working in Hollywood, you’d expect to know stars, but only incidentally politicians. If you’re in DC, the reverse is true.
Second, Biden recently started to blame inflation on corporations that hiked prices when they saw an opportunity to improve their profits, bringing more prominence to an argument first used when gasoline prices spiked. The president's argument is suspicious to many economists, yet the intended message to voters is that Biden is fighting for them against those he blames for fueling inflation.
“Let me be clear: Any corporation that is not passing these savings on to the consumers needs to stop their price gouging,” Biden said recently in Pueblo, Colorado. “The American people are tired of being played for suckers.”
Wow. There's no question who's side the reporter is on.
With my (admittedly limited) understanding of the topic, extracting the water from ocean water is a relatively simple process.
The problem is what do you do with the brine afterwards. The process featured in the article makes it harder for the brine to clog the system, which is admittedly an important step. But you can’t put the brine back into the ocean without risking killing local wildlife.
And I’m not under the impression that there are any practical uses for brine, at least not at that scale.
You’re not wrong, but think of it in terms of Biden tolerating this evil nonsense has the potential to curtail Trump actively encouraging or even instigating more and worse.
Think of it as less kicking the can down the road, as it is kicking the can out of Trump’s hand before he has a chance to pick it up and do something we’ll all regret more.
The unfortunate reality is that a not insignificant portion of US voters conflate modern Israel with biblical Israel.
Any stance other than full support of anything Israel does will stick Biden with the Right version version of being racist: an antisemite—and getting that label is enough to get apathetic right leaning voters to go to the polls.
Trump played the Israel card all the time and his base loved him so much for it that they would plug their ears whenever his crimes came to light.
Biden has the unenviable position where if he shows any signs of disapproval of Israel’s actions, he risks another Trump presidency. (Which is absolutely insane considering the whole insurrection thing.)
I could be convinced that the search engine itself isn’t profiling me.
But if by virtue of loading the ad, the advertiser gains my IP address, MAC address, and a fingerprint based on things like my installed fonts, then that’s not really privacy in any meaningful sense.
