They look like they're all gonna shoot themselves in the face with a smile on said face.

Is this Netflix butchering one of the greatest animes of all time all over again, or will this be good?

SmartTube is what the YouTube app should be. I've been using it for I think 2 years now and it works like a charm, is super stable, offers loads of customization options, and the interface is better and more complete than the official app. Truly a must have for any Android tv box.

This article is from 2020. I don't know why it is posted now, but that explains why he is referred as ''the president''.

It wouldn't necessarily be surprising, but I've used both and I honestly couldn't say which one I prefer. That's why I hoped you would elaborate.

Any time there's "Liberty" or "Freedom" in the name, you can rest assured that their actual purpose is anything but. Also : any time it's "Citizen", it's actually astroturfing.

Quick summary :

During a heart attack, the blood flow that feeds the heart cells is diminished or stopped altogether, killing some of the cells. This is especially problematic since after birth, heart cells pretty much stop multiplying, which makes it difficult for the organism to make new cells to fix the damage.

Not only do the heart cells stop multiplying after birth, they also switch from using sugars to using fat as a source of energy. This switching implies shutting some genes off and turning others on through epigenetic modifications (making some regions of the genome, and thus the genes they harbor, unavailable for the cell).

However, it appears that if you turn off one of the key genes involved in using fat as a source of energy, these heart cells switch back some of the genes involved in cell proliferation on, bringing them back to a more juvenile state where they start multiplying again.

Now, all this is only demonstrated to work in mice so far, but if these results can be replicated in humans, it would open the door to a possible treatment leading to much better outcomes after a heart attack.

That's -20°C at the peak of the heat wave when it should have been -55°C, for my metric brethren.

I love that it implies that they also have illegitimate interests that they'll still try to weasel in because 🤷💩

The nine-dash line is bonkers. It covers about 2 millions square kilometers of sea all the way to Malaysia. This is akin to the U.S claiming all of the Gulf of Mexico (1.6M km2) as territorial waters and then throwing in part of the the Caribbean Sea for good measure.
