You have to admit, making them self-replicating would be pretty cool … for a time.

So long as one gets off the couch! 🤣

It’s an apples-to-oranges comparison. The idea here is replacing solar usage with kinetic energy in certain applications so fewer devices need an external power source and therefore wiring. It would also reduce grid use (by a minuscule amount), but I’m assuming the solar comparison is solely because both produce a DC current.

I recall seeing that the therapeutic dose was pretty close to if not the same as recreational, which would be 100 mg.

I’m baffled. At no point did I say the denial was the wrong decision. The best MAPS can do here is start over again at Phase III but this time figure out solutions to the fatal flaws that sank the application – and maybe not let anyone get sexually assaulted in the process.

The biggest hurdle I see is blinding. There’s simply no way to know you’re not rolling, whether you’ve done MDMA in the past or not, so placebo is pointless.

This is an example of the terrifying extreme storms scientists have been expecting

No one at NOAA was looking specifically for Beryl.

A bit late to the party, but the FDA panel is a recommendation body, not the FDA itself. FDA can overrule this, but as I said, that’s a fraught choice.

Fixed the hed. Archive link should be viewable.

Worth noting: this is 90% effective for HSV-1, but not tested on HSV-2. That’s on their radar for research. It’s nonetheless a breakthrough, and the Hutch has pulled off some interesting things in the past, so I’d imagine they’ll get there.

As soon as we have this commercialized, fusion is just around the corner.

This is the sort of deep learning I can see benefiting society, as opposed, to say, summarizing Great Expectations for an essay.

Actually, yes. That bit at the end is what I was missing. Thanks!

This was a very accessible read as a nonacademic. Really interesting to read how these technologies work and were developed.

Passive cooling is a much-needed area of study as the planet warms, and it stands to reason further development there could spark additional discoveries on the electrical front.

Bold of you to assume the same person works at the same outlet long enough to run both stories.

Interesting choice to omit “idiolect” as a replacement on any subsequent references to “mental dictionary.”

Sounds like a beertle to me …

That’s pretty much the case with any sort of self-medicating. Good luck getting people to understand that any intervention has zero chance of working if the patient is spat back out into the situation that caused the problematic behaviour without any changes.

Conflating pointless and meaningless is an odd choice. My job, sending invoices, is meaningless but not pointless.
