  And they stay insulating even if soaked all the way through. Perfect for hiking or trudging through snow

  They’ve got it pretty good compared to some animals. Like at least they get to meet their partners or have sex at all

  Elon enters the FBI’s inner sanctum and must solve the Vat’s riddles three in order to prove he’s not a gay communist

  Yeah sure buddy, sportness is all made up by —let me guess— Big Sportness? Clearly you’re just mad that you’re not very sportnant.

  Not to mention the “stupid = ugly” wojacks

  Broke: The results of IQ testing are dependent on a person’s intelligence. Intelligence is an objective reality that can be observed and measured with IQ testing.

  Woke: The results of IQ testing are independent of a person’s intelligence. Intelligence is an objective reality but complex and impossible to perfectly measure.

  Bespoke: A person’s ‘intelligence’ is dependent on the results of IQ testing. Intelligence is a social construct and IQ testing is a means to reinforce it.

  Also the impact risk corridor passes through states that are poorly equipped for large civil defence operations: Ethiopia and the CAR are in civil wars, Yemen is in a civil war with the majority of the country under the control of an unrecognized government, and the South Sudanese government is quite week—being at peace only for the last 5 years

  Author-date systems create line noise that makes text hard to grok. Numeric systems (with or without footnotes) don’t have that problem. Honestly I don’t see the point of author-date. If a a paper is really important then it should be referenced in prose, otherwise “(Kowalchuck et al., 2018)” doesn’t tell you anything more than “[11]”; you’re still gonna need to look it up in the bibliography. And that looking up is actually made harder: finding [11] between [10] and [12] is easier than finding Kowalchuk between Kowal and Kowalski or whatever other names happen to be there.

  We already have that technology it just sucks. Look up plant microbial fuel cells

  what’s more sciency: the cycle that controls the vast majority of ocean ecosystems and one that even hobbyist aquarium keepers need to learn, or the niche one that smells like farts?

  I thought it didn’t need to be said that a bug must be an arthropod. smh, goddamn bug radicals

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Say it.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m a firm bug centrist—non-hemipterans can be bugs but they have to be from a terrestrial lineage.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Say it.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t really see the point of deveining. It doesn’t change the flavour and the digestive tract is entirely safe to eat

  It looks nothing like a centric or pennate diatom

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨son, happy birthday⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Most species grow to half a millimetre. So they’re just barely visible to the naked eye; like a small spec of dust.

  Unlike the cowards who hide their stupid names with latin, computer scientists will straight up call something a ‘fat pointer’.

  Actual graph used to inform government decisions

  Scatter plot correlating parked vehicles at supermarkets with the store’s number of employees. There’s only two data points and the trend line is drawn in the exact opposite direction of what they show (line says the store with more employees had more cars, the data shows otherwise).

  At least they have an anus. Anemones just have to vomit out their waste

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Causes of Death in London (1623)⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I think ‘several’ just means that the people counted weren’t all killed in the same accident. No WorkSafe in those days so those accidents were probably shit like roofers falling off chapels and apprentice tanners mishandling chemicals.

  There’s plenty of stuff where ML algorithms the state of the art. For example the raw data from nanopore DNA sequencing machines is extremely noisy and ML algorithms clean it up with much less error than the Markov chains used in years previous.

  Funnily enough in Canada we have mars bars instead of the US milky way and 3 musketeers instead of the international milky way. Mars doesn’t sell anything called a milky way here
