- Comment on Elsevier 1 week ago:
Ya that would be awesome and I think that movement would gain momentum really fast since most high profile labs have all had to deal with this nonsense.
That or legislation/open access rules to make these papers more accessible. One can dream.
- Comment on Elsevier 1 week ago:
Because of “impact score” the journal your work gets placed in has a huge impact on future funding. Its a very frustrating process and trying to go around it is like suicide for your lab so it has to be more of a top-down fix because the bottom up is never going to happen.
Thats why everyone uses sci hub. These publishers are terrible companies up there with EA in unpopularity.

Well that and the outrageous prices at most theatres.
- Comment on When does investing become gambling? 2 weeks ago:
I’d argue investing is gambling with varying degrees of risk depending on what what you are putting your money into. Even if that risk is very low there is always a chance something crazy happens and you lose everything.

I like their games but its such a weird company. like… people had been asking for bluetooth for wireless headphones on switch for years and it had just never been a feature. then one day… they like, just turned it on and said hey you can use wireless headphones now! like, that took 4 years! absolutely bizarre.

- Comment on You can't win the lottery 6 months ago:
Ya I went straight cash a while ago, I use to have some holdings but I got really bearish a while back (still am) so I just jump in with options here or there, nice quick in/out when yhings are moving, not too greedy. I went back to school a while back so I really don’t have time to watch the market so I’m a little out of practice, more of a hobby until I get back into the workforce and have some time and play money. Until then I have to be really conservative.

- Comment on Gen Z is forcing a workplace reckoning that should have happened years ago 7 months ago:
even in my experience (research/healthcare) this is a reality, theres so much preventable brain drain from people in critical positions who have just had enough.
- Comment on Gen Z is forcing a workplace reckoning that should have happened years ago 7 months ago:
the whole workplace culture is so anti-worker its unreal, its almost adversarial like the landlord-tennant relationship. it’d be great if there were a “you take care of me, I take care of you” attitude for employee/employers but these days it feels like they want to squeeze every last bit of productivity out of you and pay you as little as possible for your efforts, and everyone wonders why its so hard to attract tallent. its out there, just take care of your workers!
- Comment on Instagram's monthly subscription 7 months ago:
ya thats true. I’ve been screen mirroring on my laptop for that but I get it if its a convenience thing. I used to pay for a bunch of streaming services until they jacked the price, I dropped almost everything after the last round of price hikes. again, mostly a convenience thing.

- Comment on Would eating raw human brains make you high? 8 months ago:
The liver “conjugates”/metabolises a bunch of stuff, its been almost a decade since I studied this stuff but bassically it will remove or add functional groups on/off a given compound. Most of what you eat heads straight to the liver for “processing” where food (and orally administered drugs) get altered prior to circulation. Its part of the first pass effect.
- Comment on Would eating raw human brains make you high? 8 months ago:
Ya it was the first one to pop into my head as an example, the main point is anything active would be neutralized one way or another by the time it ended up in circulation.
- Comment on Would eating raw human brains make you high? 8 months ago:
no your stomach acid would denature most of the proteins, then they’d be conjugated at the liver so whatever goes in will be transformed by what comes out. A lot of those hormones are tightly regulated so I’m thinking even if they make it into circulation they’d be eliminated fairly quickly. Only exception would be if they’re acid stable, not impacted on their way through the gut/metabolised by microbiota, absorbed in tact and still active after the first pass effect. Also theres enzymes like trypsin in your stomach that are specifically for degrading proteins so I doubt it would make you anything other than a canibal.
