  Nope, just an engineer who has seen similar methods fail hilariously when the trying to extrapolate from a limited datasets.

  When the only data supplied is opaque guarantees from a private company that profits from enticing more interest in their services, they need to state clearly how they came to make those guarantees.

  Yes, the general concept is explained, but not the raw data, or how they come to their “98% certainty” figure.

  There are a number of factors that can effect the trace element and isotopes ratios in a crop, and they have made no effort to share what factors they have controlled for.

  I would like to see the tests results, and the datasets used to calibrate them before believing them. This entire article shouts “trust us, we did science” without actually sharing any of the results or the methods used to obtain them.

  That’s not how science works. Show us your methodology.

  I used to love this game as a kid. Tried to return to it a few years later though and found it was one of those ‘game speed = cpu speed’ setups which was unplayably fast on my new 800mhz machine. I should track down an emulator for it…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How come not all people are organ donors? It's not like they will need them where ever they go.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I very much agree. Also, in a lot of places, that indicator on your license is not legally binding, the decision still comes down to your next of kin.

  A system where everyone is a donor by default, but can opt out in a low-effort manner such as sending off a signed declaration, would still allow those with a genuine desire not to be donors the ability to do so, but would greatly increase the donor pool by capturing the majority of indifferent people who simply have not made the effort to opt in.

  There are dozens of us, dozens!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon is a gamer⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s a bandaid fix though. Abolishing capitalism so that we could focus on innovation without needing to monetise it in order to eat is a better idea.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What ever happened to Ipecac? Why is it rarely used today, there was some side effects but not to warrant most hospitals to abruptly stop the use of it.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  There are a lot fewer staff around than TV would have you believe. You would need basically 1-on-1 supervision until the drug wore off, which is very resource intensive compared to a one-time intervention.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hope my birth control works⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I mean, is that not what they all did?

  Put a thermometer in plain view and tape your phone number to the window as a backup in case someone is unable to see the thermometer, or your AC has malfunctioned and there is an actual issue.
