Reply to comment by Present-Chemical-909 in Political views can be predicted by differences in brain activity. Study says political differences don’t just emerge when it comes to how we interpret reality around us; our brains actually ‘see’ different things depending on our politics. by mossadnik
Say what you want about republicans, but they will happily stand in line for hours in the cold November air to cast a vote. It’s a ritual I think to them. It’s the traditional way of voting and they find comfort in the physical act of standing in line and voting. To the conservative a mail in vote will be seen as alienating, impersonal, and even fraudulent. To a liberal mail in voting is seen as convenient, efficient and saves time to do literally anything else.

No child is born a republican, democrat, fascist, capitalist, religious, racist, misogynist, asshole, etc., these are all learned behaviors, i.e. indoctrination.

I’m sure this paper isn’t going to stop us from figuring out how to stop climate change.

Reply to comment by sids99 in New evidence suggests that ‘hybrid’ immunity, the result of both vaccination and a bout of COVID-19, can provide partial protection against reinfection for at least eight months. Immunity acquired by booster vaccination alone seems to fade somewhat faster. by MistWeaver80
No, it doesn’t. The reason vaccinated people are getting sick is because the virus mutates in unvaccinated hosts then it jumps. If we had a vaccine mandate like we almost had then none of this would ever happen. I like Biden but to me that is his biggest blunder. We overnight just quietly drew back all the requirements because a couple alt right man babies cried a little too hard.

We’re moving incredibly fast now but you don’t perceive it. The red dwarf might take up a huge portion of the sky and would be a different colour, which would be cool.

Reply to Wet-food diet promotes the recovery from surgery of castration in adult young cats by napovarj
Any wet cat food is better than dry food - told to me by several vets. Next there is no such thing as a prescription diet -it's all hype. Sorry Hills. Dry foods : Think ultra-processing and its relation to poor outcomes in humans. Most house cats get very little exercise compare to free-range cats. If I take my cats out for a half hour - on leads - they sleep like logs for the rest of the day, they also tend not to fight nearly as much. Apparently just being out side, watching birds and stuff, really fires up their brains. Also, as noted by many others, water intake among house cats is relatively low compared to a wild diet. I keep four water bowls - all with wide mouths for my two cats. Each is changed daily. Cats generally do not like to drink out of clear bowls - well, mine don't. I use big cottage cheese containers and a large ceramic dog bowl for water. Five to six inch diameter seems to be the minimum tolerated. They also drink out of water buckets, aquaria *this is apparently the BEST, puddles, my water glass (which breaks the wide container rule), etc. The tricks with cat diets are getting them to eat, satisfying essential amino-acid requirements especially taurine, adequate water intake (clumping litter helps you visualize water intake) limiting carbohydrates (the main constituent of dry foods), high-quality animal fat (rancidity is a real problem), and controlling phophorus / phytates. My critters generally like Fromm wet / dry foods, and nearly any grocery store wet foods (Beyond is the current favorite) - although it makes me cringe to buy the junk. They all stink. The boutique brands at Petsmart and Petco - not so much. Keep an eye out for recalls too. While wet food might be higher in protein than kibble, the quality of the proteins is almost always better, and with bird and seafood fish diets it's more available. I stay away from farm terrestrial food sources on cats unless you can find a mouse diet. Cow, pig, lamb, not well balanced for cats. Freshwater fish, also not good food sources for cats. Soy is a kat-killer.

You probably did, that is an insidious example of false news. Among reputable immunologists, that viewpoint is scoffed at. In no way would that ever be true, just more alt right nonsense and yes I know a credentialed scientist wrote that article but if you don’t think the culture wars the republicans are waging do not pay off scientists to manufacture fake results to help their platform then you are highly naive.

You are boosted, you do everything right, as long as you mask and avoid very crowded areas you are straight. I’ve been isolated since the beginning and it’s a little boring but I am still alive and healthy. Like you I have had all 5 vaccinations and I still wear a mask anytime I leave the house. It’s really something that good habits provided by experts actually work

If you follow the precautions and get boosted you have very little to worry about. It’s the people who still think they can just run around with no mask, no vax, and no empathy that is biting us in the ass

No, you absolutely should get boosted as soon as you are eligible. Just because the window from natural protection is still good doesn’t mean you should skip out on boosters even if for only a couple of months. This pandemic is still raging because many people question the rules, have doubts in the brightest scientific minds of our generation and do anything but get vaccinated. You are doing good, but now is not the time to delay life saving treatment. This goes for anyone. Get your boosters! Every moment you wait is another unnecessary death. We have the tools to beat this thing let’s do it!!

Not to mention interstellar travel won't be feasible for hundreds of years. We gotta focus on more pertinent things

Generational projects, and methods of keeping socio political issues from derailing it all. That will be hard with a species so focused on immediate profits. Generation projects of this magnitude don't pay off quick, I don't know many rich folk interested in doing things that won benefit them before they kick the can

Would you feel the physical effects of a 16 day orbit? I imagine it would feel like your in a centrifuge.

They should really rephrase the findings
Kibble impedes’s cats' abilities to recover from surgery.
Convincing owners to give their cats kibble is the biggest con job in the world of pet ownership. By the time it’s been heated to around 150° C and had all its nutrients removed it’s as healthy as cardboard. Not even considering the fact cat’s shouldn’t eat carbohydrates. Cats are obligate carnivores. They ONLY eat meat.
