I think you might have skimmed over the methods, but think what the OP was trying to say is:

Concentration: 300 tea bags / 600mL = 1 teabag per 2mL (175 tea bags in one 350mL cup of tea, doesnt appear typical?)

Mixing: 750rpm × [1m/60s] = 12.5 rotations a sec (Awfully fast to be stirring tea, constantly)

Incubation time: Not specified. (They could have left boiling overnight?)

There seems to be many points about the methodology that raise eyebrows. Maybe it's ok if you want to use this method to purify particles for structural analysis or test toxicity on cells, but it doesn't seem fair to present this as "release of micro/nanoplastics (MNPLs) from polymer-based teabags into the aqueous phase during typical usage", as the amounts seem exaggerated.

LOL FUCK EM

In Celcius water boils at exactly 100°C, and you don't have to round, and 50°C is exactly half the boiling point of water.

Yes, Celsius users are waterpilled: the whole system is based on the temperature at which water freezes and evaporates at 1 atm pressure.

(You're just fucking with us right? Like Celsius is has a coarser base unit, and the range applicable to human temperatures are not such pretty numbers, but you can't be seriously thinking Fahrenheit makes more sense for when we talk about water?)

It is a made up "fact" by someone on twitter: that JD Vance wrote about fucking a couch in his book, Hillbilly Elegy. Some people retweeted it without checking the sources, and it just continued on from there.

Source is knowyourmeme lol: https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/jd-vance-couch-cushion-story-hoax

Yeah totally fine to use those kinds of representations for delocalized electrons, but literally using tiny letter "o"'s is just 💀 💀 💀

Katalin Karikó and Drew Weissman.

They noticed that naively adding test tube synthesized mRNA elicited immflamatory responses from immune cells, while mRNA derived from cells did not. They figured out that chemical modifications to mRNAs were responsible for avoiding these immune reactions to the mRNAs.

These results would open the path for development of mRNA-based vaccines, like the vaccines repsonsible for limiting the damage of the COVID-19 pandemic.

How would you describe the sound?

Another example of right wing governments being actual cucks.

Letting another countries officers patrol your land? You bet Orbans gonna be listening in with headphone from his office while jerking himself and crying.

The 1st myth is that watson and crick figured out the solved the double helix by themselves. The 2nd myth is that they stole Rosalind Franklin's work and screwed her over. Both are misconceptions propagated by pop culture and Watson's own embellishments...

Franklin was a great crystallographer who contributed many key insights into the characteristics of the double helix. There were many brilliant scientists working on this problem at the time pushing technology to their limits to gain every piece of information we could about DNA's structure.

Franklin was a big name in her own right, and to say that Watson and Crick could figure out the double helix by stealing picture 51, whereas Franklin could not, implies that she couldn't figure out her own data, and is frankly insulting to her intellect.

This article explains it much better than I ever could: https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-023-01313-5

No sure about that. While he was alive he could do things/get stuff done to him which would get reported in the news. Getting poisoned by Novichok, getting arrested in a Russian airport, disappearing and reappearing in an Arctic gulag -- all of these things show up in the news cycle, giving us constant reminders of the how bad it is in Russia. Now that he's a martyr, I guess his name will disappear from headlines until maybe the anniversary of his death.

This game could have been so good. It had the basis for it, the world was small but they filled it with tons small details, the story was short but tight and unique, it was shining with the fable-style personality with the philosophy of letting you make the small changes you wanted to make to the world and your character.

But then someone (probably a boss from Microsoft) came and said fuck you! and locked up a ton for areas behind DLCs, limited development time, and injected it full of brain-dead AAA game bullshit that didn't fit the game.

Spoilers:

Every time I am reminded of this one scene in the story where you learn the terrible secret of the kingdom, ending up fleeing into the desert. The tone of desert theme becomes harrowing and empty as you aimlessly wander through the barren wasteland, guiding along your even more helpless companion. In this hopeless situation you come to understand why your beloved kingdom has betrayed what it used to stand for, why it has fallen to tyranny.

As someone who loved the Fable franchise, this is what it was like to play Fable 3.

Yeah off-putting, but I feel like it made sense: when you are King/Queen you can do selfless things for little personal gain, or you can do selfish things for great monetary gain.
