I'm almost always on the internet, and when I'm not I'm either reading, writing or serving my furry master (the one pictured, I'm not THAT weird).

I legit had my Dad call me one day saying "Hi, your grandmother's dead. How are you?", but tbh I'm not sure going in circles would have been much better in my specific case.

Ok famousone, I found another one obviously on Merriam-Webster, which I routinely use, but looking into it further they don't seem to bear the most common definition indeed. I stand corrected!

Clearly we don't seem to understand each other on that definition thing. You avoided my question and instead repeated yourself, it is indeed useless to go around this again in these circumstances.
.
Race is the result of history/heritage, while gender is not. Biologically, transwomen's neural networks are closer to ciswomen; transwomen seem to have had lower prenatal testosterone levels than cismen, while transmen have had higher prenatal T than ciswomen. There's a strong correlation between biology and transgender behavior, that I've yet to read about on "transracial" ppl.
.
Disingenuous, I said a marked difference between the two groups would be ostracisation. Full-fledged Asians - traditional Asians is not what I suggest and would indeed be an ostracisation. Then, if you had new Asians - traditional Asians, both of them would coexist as Asians without one being excluded from that group, so no ostracism.

I didn't find a paleopathology analysis that could confirm this, but given that at the time painters would make royalty appear more beautiful, and yet he has a face only a mother/cousin could love, I'm ready to believe the rest too.

Merriam-Webster defines Asian as "1: a native or inhabitant of Asia
2: a person of Asian descent"

Thanks mate!
Btw I admire the realism of this; it's currently 31°C and I can feel I'm grilling.

I'll regenerate later, once I've evacuated your body (either naturally or alien-style, not decided yet), but you can eat me and get the answer! Bone ape and tit!

Yup, need to study the potential cocktail effects with other molecules to determine the actual viability in a living body, and then experiment on your mice to see if they don't drop dead right away, then you need to study side effects: worth it or not, how to minimise them etc., then sometimes test on bigger animals (swine, monkeys), and then present your research to receive the authorisation to make the first experimental tests on humans, recruit your first cohort, that has to be small just in case there are unexpected side effects, to not destroy too many lives at a time basically, and then up the scale -there are typically 3 trial phases. All of this sprinkled with articles and conferences to present the result of your work, so that peers can 1. check you're not bullshitting, 2. discuss if you're not making a mistake that invalidates it and how to improve things, and 3. get inspired to develop the technique faster.

The conclusion of the first one was 1. you can but it's a pain in the ass and you risk drowning, it's impossible with the whole armor and helmet though, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cLCVAfsjh7o (it's in French) and 2. provided the dress is correctly tailored, you can and it's badass af. (Jill Bearup's entire channel is dedicated to this!)

1. A white person can become Asian through naturalization. And I agree that it would be wrong to require Asians be called natural Asians, but distinguishing Asians and "new Asians" would be a form of ostracisation, which the "woman - trans woman" terminology does. Either the ostracisation remains, or both are Asians, or both can get their little adjective.
2. Yes, I get you referred to MLK, and he wasn't the right guy.
3. If acorn then had no meaning, why would the pine tree declare it bears acorns?

Their molecule, sahaquine, reduces the viability and invasiveness of glioblastoma under controlled conditions, which is obviously great, and led them to conclude in 2018 that "evaluation of sahaquine in combination with other drugs merit further investigations in patient-derived organoids, and eventually in humans."
https://www.nature.com/articles/s41420-018-0103-0
In short, for now their discovery works in Petri dishes, it has yet to be tested on mice and obviously man, which under normal circumstances takes between 10 and 15 years (and sadly the very vast majority of treatments that look great in labs don't pass the mice trial). So we still have to wait about 7-12 years to hear more about it!

Meet the chiton, a very metal mollusk 4 comments

What we can see here are the plates on its back, made of aragonite (a type of calcium carbonate, main component of seashells with calcite), but this fat slug also has more than 1000 tiny teeth; the ones on its "tongue" are coated in magnetite (a metal, type of iron oxide) and the others contain santabarbarite (an iron-based mineral).
Those are the first living creatures we know of whose body contains metal -Terminator doesn't count. And we thought that at least "living creatures don't naturally grow metal" was a sure bet...
Knowing this can have direct implications, a research team has made a 3D printing ink from its crushed teeth and it prints very solid things, but it can also be very useful in medicine, to maximise solidity during a bone graft.
