Why does the article mention ketamine as a club drug? It's a terrible drug for clubs if anything.
Strongly disagree. Speed and Ketamine in combination is probably the greatest time you'll ever have.
Before anyone who didn't actually read the link goes off at it - this is a peer reviewed, repeated study - mice react to drugs differently depending on the sex of the researcher, don't in a fume hood, do always in a fume hood with a human male's t-shirt. It potentially plays havoc with ALL past experiments with rodents ...
Another similar problem was mice in maze experiments, which also could not be repeated. The experimenters were using mazes with sand on the floor rather than hard bases, and it turned out that the earlier experiments were not measuring the memories of mice; instead their ability to sense vibrations from their footsteps and helped with location senses.

Are you actually implying that my making a joke is evidence of some deep dark secret about my sexuality?
Since you ask: it's not just me, it's science (also journalism documenting many recent and historic events) that says many homophobes are secretly gay, and it's also a popular and widely known trope and basis of many memes, which you should take into account next time you feel the irresistible urge make a homophobic joke without intending for people to assume you're a closeted gay. Rule of thumb: If you're really not…
I just had a thought that I (and evidently at least one other person) found humorous, and I felt a desire to share, nothing nobler or less noble. I was utterly shocked that it prompted a flame war that came to the attention of the mods.

So rats have a built in gene sequencer and detect the base pairs directly?
Your friend's eye color is defined by some genes. You don't need a gene sequencer to see what they are.

I don't really want to respond to this wall of text. I can't even bring myself to read the the whole thing. Except I want to point out that I don't care what anybody on here thinks about my sexuality. I really don't. How could I? None of this is about -me- because nobody on here knows the slightest bit of detail about my personal life. I just had a thought that I (and evidently at least one other person) found humoro…

Then I hope you learned something: Stop telling homophobic jokes if you have a problem with people thinking you're gay, or even if you don't. Got it? Have any problem with that?
ii) I learned something, but perhaps not what you wish I'd learned.
iii) I don't care if you think I'm gay, partly because I wouldn't care if I were gay or not, but mostly because I don't care what strangers think at all.
iv) My jokes are no more or less funny depending on the sexuality of the teller.
v) I generally don't have any problem with anything anybody thinks or says, though political winds in other countries are starting to concern me a bit, Canada's pronoun law for example. So long as we're only talking and nobody's going to jail for wrongspeak, I think there's no problem.

How?
If the shirt contains 50 chemicals, try each of them in isolation. For starters.

2) Stop making homophobic jokes and then pretending they're not homophobic, if you don't want people to know you're an asshole.
3) You've already revealed a lot of personal information about yourself and your character in this discussion and your comment history.
So do you agree to stop telling homophobic jokes, or not? If not, then why do you insist on violating the rules of this community by telling them?

Is that intellectually honest, to hide from the truth you know about your food?
I struggled with this. I suppose it's not intellectually honest, but I learned intellectual honesty is not my highest priority.

That's what they do on CSI, but that's not how it works in real life. I'm not a chemical engineer, so I can't explain why this doesn't work, but I've proposed this approach and various variations on it to some engineers for other purposes and got all sorts of explanations why it wouldn't work which I didn't understand; but the underlying concept was that you can't just take a sample of whatever and deconstruct and re…
This is fairly generally true in science. Deconstructionism was a fever dream.
