Throwing in my $0.02, a correlation study is technically an option, where you look at differences as microplastics increase in concentration. But. my instinct is you would see some really unfortunate covariance - that is, another variable that increases (or decreases) at the same time as microplastics and is known to impact your variable of interest, e.g. socioeconomic status.
It’s baffling to me LaRose got away with this. Luckily, every street corner has a pair of signs - either Trump/Vote no OR Harris/Vote yes. Makes it easy to remember.
Jfc just spent 15 minutes trying to cancel a newspaper subscription this morning. Shame I couldn’t wait six months to do so.
For those interested in more, I found this People Make Games video to be super interesting. https://youtu.be/lYaDXZ2MI-k?si=pxrioKZq_S7ka9il
Answers to questions I didn’t know I had, thank you! I have to read technical documents with these designations all the time, so this was helpful.
It also helps me understand why the lab techs are frustrated when they don’t have certain vials on site, I assumed they were all basically the same and the colored tops just helped the team stay organized.
Ohioan here. You’re not wrong. Sorry about JD Vance.
For me and mine, it’s carrots. Do you know how difficult it is to find carrot-free items? Impossible.
Devastating loss for the science community. I used this database in my PhD, and didn’t expect it to shut down ever.
Agreed, seems like a no-brainer. Typically this stuff is handled at an institutional level, with bad professors losing/ failing to achieve tenure. But some results have much bigger implications than just “Uh oh, I cited that paper and it was a bad one.” Often, entire clinical pipelines are developed off of bad research, which wastes millions of dollars.

Good riddance, Tom Bombadil. I don’t care how merry a fellow he was, those were my least favorite chapters of Fellowship.
Touche, forgot this was PatientGamers. Grim Dawn is basically the same sans MMO. It’s the best ARPG I’ve played like, ever, and it’s due for a huge DLC soon. Goes on sale for very cheap often.
Unlike Last Epoch, it’s more item-focused. Unlike PoE, the items aren’t a total nightmare to optimize…
Very interesting - I haven’t hit a single bug during my play.
A handful if my PoE friends have picked up Last Epoch which I’ve found to be more approachable. Little less MMO but a very similar game.
To be fair, my job involves very sensitive medical data. We’ve seen entire businesses shut down because of data breaches.
I’m 100% so far at my job, but we had one test that tricked somewhere around 30% of employees. They spoofed everyone’s supervisor and made it look like an urgent Teams message was pending.
Usually, if you get phished you lose your bonus. They made an exception that one time.
In grad school I worked with MRI data (hence the username). I had to upload ~500GB to our supercomputing cluster. Somewhere around 100,000 MRI images, and wrote 20 or so different machine learning algorithms to process them. All said and done, I ended up with about 2.5TB on the supercomputer. About 500MB ended up being useful and made it into my thesis.
Don’t stay in school, kids.
I’ve never seen anything like this - cryptic board games, akin to cryptic crosswords. Anyone else know of games in a similar vein or genre?
Nah. Fenced epee for a bit in a college club. Height advantage was pretty great. I guess it just depends on the weapon.
Unironically, I had to delete this game from my phone because I wasn’t getting work done. This game slaps.
