Whiskers don’t make sense on a creature that doesn’t walk on all 4 anyway. They are only useful if they have a chance to contact something in front of you before the rest of your body.

- Comment on I just heard about Brazilian Butt Lifts which is a procedure where they take fat deposits from somewhere on your body and place it in your butt? 6 months ago:
When fat is used, it’s usually not turned into glucose, but rather into fatty acids, that can then be used by the mitochondria to power the cells. The signaling that triggers this is in fact done by a bunch of hormones that do indeed circulate in the blood to reach the cells specialized in storing fat, called adipocytes.
Depending of what triggers the transformation of fat into fatty acids( a process called lipolysis), those hormones could be insulin, epinephrin, growth hormone, etc.

“Once I put this salve on a small wound, and a couple of weeks later it was healed, which proves it’s basically a panacea that probably also cures cancer.”

You’re probably right, I have edited my comment to reflect this.
- Comment on why did the eclipse not darken proportionally? 7 months ago:
I think it has to do with atmospheric diffusion of the sunlight. Even if the photons coming straight down at you are blocked by the moon, a lot of them bounce around in the atmosphere and end up reaching your eyes. Kinda like when it’s not complete darkness at sunset even after the sun has gone over the horizon.

Or you could just you know, enforce a decent minimum wage, or maybe basic universal income ?
- Comment on 9 months ago:
Yeah but it’s either that or the shareholders would have to buy a slightly smaller yacht, so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
- Comment on [deleted] 9 months ago:
It seems it’s rarely brought up in these conversations, but another stupid thing about return to office is that we know that commuting is a major contribution to greenhouse gas emissions and particulate pollution. So working from home would not only be an improvement in work conditions, sparing millions of individuals hours of wasted commuting time each week, it would also be an easy way to reduce pollution and mitigate global warming.
Laws should be passed that mandate employees can work from home whenever it cannot be demonstrated by the company hiring them that being on site is absolutely necessary to do the job.

To be fair to him, this type of variations could also be due to epigenetics, although he obviously has a rather fuzzy understanding of what he’s talking about.

It wouldn’t necessarily be surprising, but I’ve used both and I honestly couldn’t say which one I prefer. That’s why I hoped you would elaborate.

How so?

A smartphone battery is usually operatibg at 3.7V. so a 4500mAh cell would give you about 17Wh.
