The breakdowns I currently have to provide for basic concepts once expected to be understood are way too damn high for teaching science post-high school. To write someone off as “old and yelling at a cloud” requires a general knowledge base and comprehension of the surroundings. Maybe I’m just jaded, but not sure much of that’s found with most high school classes these days, and it still seems to be on the decline…

Here’s what I assume is the link that was attempted to be associated with this post: https://inv.nadeko.net/watch?v=HdSOACgqY6E

This article unfortunately is basically just a distraction trying to cover Trumps appalling and fully nonsensical actions/statements surrounding Davos, Venezuela, and Gaza. Additionally, just as a refresher, while the US is 4.2% of the world population, it has 21% of the world prison population. Even worse, while African Americans make up 13% of the US population, they represent 36% of the prison population. This is insane once it’s understood that slavery is legal thanks to the 13th amendment’s exception clause permitting involuntary labor as criminal punishment. So while I’m without question not trying to deny or make light of the situation in China, it’s just much more blatant in the US while getting nearly zero coverage, especially when compared to what’s happening in China.

This is a solid list, made me realize I need to give Disroot some loot, you’re a boss!

I’ve always donated to Signal, Bitwarden, and KDE. Lemmy got added to the list this year, plus I always try to support a quality project that’s between a rock and a hard place. I gave to the Oregon State University open source lab this year when I heard about their struggles. They’re why Mozilla is a thing along with many other foundational components of the open internet.

Not sure what’s up with Nature’s website on your end, but here’s the link that’s working for me to access the paper, which was published today (10-3-25): https://dx.doi.org/10.1038/s43018-025-01054-6

Nonetheless, a paper from 6 years ago studying a receptor found on almost half of immune cells should have more current information available by now, if not already. In science, we build on the shoulders of giants and try to expand on the knowledge they helped us understand. Additionally, the older study examines SLAMF6’s function across health and disease, so it’s much more generalized. The new study aims to provide additional context for the earlier findings and focuses on acute myeloid leukemia in particular. I have a PhD in immunology, and it’s astonishing how little we actually understand about the subject. All in all, we understand the ocean better than the immune system, even though there’s more we don’t know about the ocean than we do. Even crazier is that most of our current understanding in immunology is actually for a rat’s immune system and not humans! But you’re not wrong to be cautious, all research papers should be read with a healthy amount of scrutiny. A wise man told me in undergrad that half of what we’d cover in the course would be incorrect, we just don’t know which half.

I had no idea what the heck a water curtain test was and just I looked into it. Engineers use this test to verify that the structure’s drainage, wind‑load, and splash‑resistance systems work correctly. At the same time it creates a striking visual display of a rainbow‑like mist, which also highlights the bridge for the public and media.

As long as the revolt leads to a revolution, which seems to be the natural order of things, any human even vaguely similar to him would never hold that seat again. Igniting the fire which leads to his own removal from office doesn’t seem like a power move. Unless he’s playing 4D chess I can’t comprehend, he’s simply acting as a dictator before that’s official. This should unquestionably result in his removal from office, unless the majority of citizens are brainwashed…which I haven’t seen up to this point.

There’s ~35,000 US troops actively deployed on US soil because of this narcissist. At what point do the people collectively revolt? I live in a relatively large city in the western US, and regularly disheartened by the small turnouts to protest these blatant violations of our rights…

kDrive and Proton Drive both fit the bill here, plus either option would drastically increase the privacy of your data compared to OneDrive.

Well said! It’s soo blatant that in most cases I’d assume they were aiming to hide it in plane sight…but this team isn’t smart enough to try and have that be their game plan.

SoundCloud is pretty cool, especially when compared to Spotify. I’ve been really liking the https://sc.maid.zone/ SoundCloud frontend recently, makes it more private and you can download the songs on the same page you can listen to them. But all in all, it really just comes down to your opinion regarding if you should talk positively about it.

Yep, cellulose is a beta pleated sheet, unlike carbs/sugars, which are alpha helices. We’re always ready to breakdown the alpha helices form of sugar, but due to the molecular structure of cellulose, we need help. This is were these enzymes come in from our microbiome. All this also ties into how in Western countries, most folks tend to be unable to breakdown cellulose due to the lack of the specific bacteria in our biome capable of producing this enzyme. However, in African and Asian countries, these bacteria are common place, so these cultures have been able to digest cellulose for ages!

While Nebula is a creator‑owned ad‑free video service, it’s truly just a conventional centrally‑hosted platform collecting user data like most sites. So while ad‑free, it has no focus on privacy as its privacy policy shows standard analytics and tracking typical of most subscription services. This being the case, it’s not a privacy respecting alternative to YouTube like Peer Tube much at all unfortunately.

Well said!!

While both are referring to the same molecule, effervescent indicates a specific delivery method which can improve absorption and just be easier for some folks to use.

TLDR: Their study suggests that moderate adjustments in dietary protein sources could provide a new pathway for achieving sustainable development goals. Guiding dietary transitions in a scientifically informed and regionally adaptive manner can meet nutritional needs while significantly reducing agricultural pressures on groundwater systems. This offers valuable support for agricultural green transformation, high-quality water environment development, and the coordinated realization of multiple sustainability targets—including clean water, climate action, and biodiversity conservation.

Standard Notes is phenomenal, it’s FOSS and privacy focused. However, it does require setting up a free account to use. This account allows you to access the notes from any device, so totally worth it!
