I think the main tangible risk is if you have an autoimmune disorder such as HIV. Seems like the reason for not treating in general is that human guts are already infested with all…

Come to Georgia. Quite a few people have 10-15 dogs. Even in suburban neighborhoods. I've subjectively seen more "pack of dogs" type people than "cat ladies". In popular culture: h…

T. gandii and its lifecycle are not in the scope of evolutionary psychology, though. It actually reproduces (sexually) in cat gut and the (cysts of the) host animal actually need t…

Don't Google search "parasitic ant fungus" then. When I first learned how HIV (and retroviruses) worked, it was the same level of amazement. Like "it splices its own genes into you…

1. Current (default) state: toilet broke. 2. I call plumber. 3. Plumber fix. 4. New state: toilet work. kqr: "Hi Mr. Plumber, could you let me know when 3-->4 happens. I need to us…

Well, they can list the accomplishments just fine for their other subordinates, who submitted a non-blank performance review. Just not you.

At what frequency would you check? Is polling the toilet really more efficient than receiving a "plumbing complete" event from the plumber?

Fair enough. What you said sounds promising. My point stands though: we're not doing fusion at scale yet, so we'll see.

Why would you hire someone who refuses to summarize for you, once or twice a year , just at a high level, what they accomplished. Suppose you hired a plumber who refused out of pri…

Of course, the classic corporate oppression of "hi we're paying you $200,000/yr to write code... could you list out your contributions for the past quarter so we can evaluate your …

”Regulatory bodies have vast experience in the realm of safety and security for fission. We are working with them to ensure that all applicable knowledge is transferred to fusion."…

And somehow harnessing the power of the literal sun will have a better safety rate? It's all speculation at this point because fusion doesn't exist yet... but it does seem like a h…

I think a major bottleneck for fusion research from the lay public (including myself) is lack of interest. Fission reactors work really well and have been around for 50+ years. If …

Oh. Wow, you are right. I honestly just read the definition in Gallian wrong, and then, even as I was typing it, I swear I thought it said "ba + bc = b(a + c)". What a crazy experi…
