I've been using KDE for a decade and I completely agree. It used to be only better than GNOME because I could remove features from it and now I run completely stock KDE and it's so…

The second person is more correct: https://www.uptodate.com/contents/coronavirus-disease-2019-c... UpToDate is what I use to manage patients, and is pretty good.

> The effects of loci of interest on male and female lifespan are largely the same, although their effect on survival may be slightly stronger in middle age (40–60 years) compared …

Learned helplessness seems like the goal here.

I'm surprised that someone hasn't been shot yet. Unmarked camouflage officers in unmarked vans that do not identify themselves as officers sounds like they might get shot at if the…

I tried to use Brave for a little bit, but it felt like I was apart of a meme. The browser is fine, but it felt invasive and awkward. I can't put my finger on why it made me feel t…

Freedom of speech does not equal to freedom of consequence. What I've listened to people lately say is that when they engage in personal attacks they should be allowed to because "…

I'm hoping that lab grown meat takes off. I believe that this is on par with expanding solar power and electric cars in terms of combating global warming.

Culture negative pneumonia is a relatively common phenomena. It's also quite difficult to get adequate sputum cultures, but in this case where n=60 I'm skeptical that was the issue…

Is there a significant amount of Facebook employees that are actually planning on leaving? From my experience money talks. Many people will use the logic of "if not me it will be s…

This isn't exactly surprising since NO is one of the main chemicals lymphocytes and granulocytes use to kill pathogenic cells.

That was a great read, thank you for sharing!

I want to start by saying, I appreciate your curiosity :) I think my point above was talking about COVID. The specific example was where I was describing how at scale COVID was goi…

Honestly, I never really thought that the 10,000 hour thing was that lucid to begin with. Certain things are mastered in hundreds of hours while others are "never truly mastered". …

I'm going to throw in my two cents as a medical student. There's no way that I could give you a lucid digestion of whether or not this paper has any significance after studying med…

So you're saying that four years from now they will have the "updated" design implemented

We're talking about someone seriously increasing their likelihood for contracting a potentially life threatening illness. 5$ per potential exposure is not exactly that much conside…

In the US, that's all I'm comfortable saying. The people I said this to are at an institution 99% of people in the US would recognize.

Not at all. Good sanitation is going to prevent mainly oral-fecal spread of disease, but H1N1 (Swine flu is the most recent H1N1 pandemic) is droplet/airborne spread. Hand washing …
