>Humans will look back on animal agriculture with the same disgust that we look back on the slave trade.
​
I hope not, because I believe it will represent a loss of understanding of the horrors of slavery. I'm reminded of the ADL reaction to PETA trying to compare the consumption of meat to the Holocaust:
>Rather than deepen our revulsion against what the Nazis did to the Jews, the project will undermine the struggle to understand the Holocaust and to find ways to make sure such catastrophes never happen again.
>
>Abusive treatment of animals should be opposed, but cannot and must not be compared to the Holocaust. The uniqueness of human life is the moral underpinning for those who resisted the hatred of Nazis and others ready to commit genocide even today.

What makes us human? Bipedal? Thumbs? Brains? I'd argue it's our ability to make funny sounds, create symbolic speech and teach eachother (fire, farming, and how a clit works)
The internet, then, has made us super-human.
I do not wish to lose our superpowers.
Take it easy.

Myrna? That old hag? I didn't recognize her without her glasses and babushka.

I'm unclear as to why the virus is considered symbiotic if it is causing so many male eggs to not hatch. How does that serve the virus? And how does that serve the fly?

Be careful, those oils would be easy to transmit those oils accidently to someone who is allergic.

Only the non-sheep “awake” ones are in the know though I’m guessing?

Scientists out here making insane breakthroughs and 48% percent of people will still say science doesn’t work haha
My deepest appreciation to all those ignoring the noise and advancing the world

We’ll probably wait for Some accident/disaster to happen and then act

Sorry, I read that comment asking [low dose] daily MDMA, not yearly. That's my bad.

Not enough people know this! Dunk whatever body part you just accidentally touched in milk for a few minutes, you'll be fine
Also, drinking it works the same; so does eating sugar (although IME milk works better)

Here’s my weird sci fi conspiracy theory that is probably 100% scientificly incorrect. What if the space junk created an amplification of sorts of solar flares causing a mass EMP type event? Time to start up my faraday cage business.

Some days I wonder if we wouldn't be better off if communications were set back a few decades.

Psh, how many objects did Saturn put up into its orbit? Catch things sure but lift things up? It's practically a moon in that category.

I was wondering about that weird phrasing too, but it makes more sense in context:
> particularly in chemistry and biology where it can be used to understand the structure and purpose of materials, allowing us to design better chemicals, drugs and so on.
Although of course there is still no fundamental purpose, it's a good shorthand especially in biology for "the role this plays in a complex system".

The fresh plant. Rub on the site of your pain. You get a rash from it but the relief is real.

The neuropathy in my feet is so bad, of I didn't have my pregabalin, I'd have to end my life. It's just not livable. I keep hoping that there will be some breakthrough to fix the problem, rather than just treating a small part of the symptoms. Even with the highest dose of Pregabalin I can take, my feet feeling like they are being burned with a lighter 24/7.
Would it be worth my time to try over the counter capsaicin creams? Or does this need something far stronger to be of any help?

Like the fresh plant or some product derived from them

Reply to comment by princessParking in Impact of a Low-Insulin-Stimulating Bread on Weight Development—A Real Life Randomised Controlled Trial — rye bread from milled whole grain (control) or a medium-carbohydrate, low-insulin-stimulating bread (intervention). Significant weight reduction was observed in the intervention group. by Meatrition
I'd suggest it was that the low carb bread was about 1/10 the carbs of the regular bread. And the amount of fat was much higher in the low carb bread.
