Photosynthesis by ocean-dwelling cyanobacteria produces around 1/3rd of oxygen IIRC. CO2 causes ocean acidification which reduces their ability to grow, thus limiting O2 production. When it is hotter, plants ability to store carbon and photosynthesise goes down. So not right now, but O2 will be cause for concern in the future if we don't turn away from fossil fuels.

Retractions are good actually because the scientific record is being corrected. It's stuff that doesn't get retracted or slips under radar which is the issue. Journals resist retractions cos it makes them look bad.

The CGI looks a bit cheap. I wonder if this is Black Isle/Obsidian inspired or Bethsoft. Nolan strikes me as an OG fan. I hope it's fun. I'm not expecting good, but Fallout has a fun and vicarious vibe that I hope this captures.

This article is wrong about collagen supplementation, which is very well studied and does improve skin elasticity and is important for ageing people's skin. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/33742704/

I take this person's point RE washing and frequency is something we should reevaluate, but being sweaty after a workout, bathing feels like the right thing to do, soap or no soap.

Contagion was very accurate for pandemics IMO. They got a lot right.

I'm ready to be disappointed but cautiously optimistic.

I read that this was to weed out savvy people. People who aren't skeptical of poorly written emails or messages are their target audience. Could be wrong though.

This may be naive but how is this different to any other big western tech company's data collection, metrics and sharing with the US and other host governments?

This is the best anime/manga adaptation I've seen tbh. Aside from Scott Pilgrim. IMO they nailed the zanyness of OP and it was just a Hella fun watch

That feeling when you do free labour in service of for-profit corporations.

There are so many issues with peer review. Firstly they only tend to ask the senior authors who get 100s of requests a week, they ask ECRs at much lower rates despite being way more numerous within the pyramid scheme. Probably in part due to the abandoned institutional emails when you get work at another org. Also, the amount of times I've made comments for the journal or author to wave it through anyway.

The system sucks and I want an alternative REEEEEEEEEEE
