True

To correct someone from saying "so" too much:

"Sew buttons on ice cream"

"Hey" too much:

"Hay is for horses"

"Well" too much:

"Well, well, well - that's three holes in the ground"

Micromanage much?!?!

It's an online survey of cat owners, seems funded by that company that sells air fresheners for cats.

They found no connection to scratching and their product, but did find that cats in houses with kids scratch more.

So sell your kids and enjoy that scratch-free sofa.

What's your solution?

Homo = person/man

Sapiens = wise

What's this bullshit about?

Then my point still stands?

In a recent study published in the journal Nature Human Behaviour, researchers used a large, binational cohort (total n = 4,731,778) to investigate the short- and long-term associations between SARS-CoV-2 infections and subsequent adverse neuropsychiatric outcomes. They used exposure-driven propensity score matching to compare their samples’ outcomes against the general population and individuals with a non-SARS-CoV-2 respiratory infection.

Study findings revealed that COVID-19 survivors were at significantly heightened risk of developing cognitive deficits, insomnia, encephalitis, and at least four other neuropsychiatric sequelae. Specific conditions included Guillain-Barré syndrome (aHR, 4.63), cognitive deficit (aHR, 2.67), insomnia (aHR, 2.40), anxiety disorder (aHR, 2.23), encephalitis (aHR, 2.15), ischaemic stroke (aHR, 2.00), mood disorder (aHR, 1.93), and nerve/nerve root/plexus disorder (aHR, 1.47). Encouragingly, vaccination was observed to attenuate the neuropsychiatric effects of the infection

Probabilities and basic stats. People do not think in "what are the chances" but in black and white. I think one reason is we don't teach probabilities in American schools. It drastically impacts a citizens ability to understand the news, and especially science.

Thinking about this more, I just don't think it's true. I can't find a spot on Google maps where tractor supply is the only store for miles. In America, you can drive to many shitty corporations to buy stuff, no matter where in America you are.

Is that your situation? I live pretty rural, but there's a Walmart, Lowe's, or home depot pretty much the same distance as tractor supply, and that's probably the situation for most of the US. I also buy online. Mom and pop feed stores are all over the place.

For me, it's real easy to go somewhere else.

It's so easy to shop somewhere else, might as well.

Could be that the paperwork for putting together a job ad is a pain, so they just reuse an old one. So maybe the title or position details change.

A blog post from Pornhub said that its latest locations for shutdowns are Idaho, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky and Nebraska. The site said it would end operations in those states in July 2024. The website closed in Texas last week, and has also blocked access to its site in Arkansas, Mississippi, Montana, North Carolina, Utah, and Virginia in response to similar state legislation.

This was clearly made by a mosquito. So biased.

Not my claim that it's new, I copy pasted the article

Tl;dr: A new filing in a lawsuit brought by the families of 9/11 victims against the government of Saudi Arabia alleges that al-Qaeda had significant, indeed decisive, state support for its attacks. Officials of the Saudi government, the plaintiffs’ attorneys contend, formed and operated a network inside the United States that provided crucial assistance to the first cohort of 9/11 hijackers to enter the country.

Dolphin died March 2022, then the publisher received the manuscript in June 2023. Then review took until 10 April 2024.

More generally, they weren't doing this in response to the recent outbreak, it was sort of a coincidence that the disease gained media attention at the same time of this paper's publication. Academic researchers are expected to publish around 2 papers a year, and each paper tends to take a couple years.

tl;dr: it's an academic study, not the dolphin CDC. blame the publishers and universities, not the researchers.

I'm guessing, but it's probably because they are testing for bird flu on a long-dead dolphin via necropsy?

So named after mutated genes - thanks

No explanation of what FLiRT stands for. A+ article s/
