How exactly has phrenology been debunked?
Surely skull shapes can tell us something about biology.

>>13658284 Prof. Ignavious: This was once called science. People just drew circles on a skull and deduced from this that another person must be X or Y. No proof, no evidence involved. Some people were even imprisoned because they didn't believe it.
Anon: But luckily, we're past that. Aren't we?
Prof. Ignavious: Anon... I have to.... If only you knew how bad things are really.

It's gonna be more expensive than fission or solar so who gives a fuck
Anonymous
Quoted By:
>>13657138 In the short term, of course, but even fission was early on more costly than fossiles. Once the infrastructure stands, fusion will beat all other energy sources by magnitudes. Solar only became a viable commercial energy source in the last 10 years, but you can`t install it everywhere, unreliable and space based solar is too inefficent.

>>13657632 The amount of the metal making up the mass of the Earth is not relevant. You will never mine any of it. The crust content is what's relevant and it's pretty easy to see why heavier metals would be rarer in the crust than lighter metals compared to the overall abundance in the whole Earth.

Quoted By:
>>13657632 The abundance of elements in the crust:
Oxygen: 46.1%
Silicon: 28.2%
Aluminium: 8.23%
Iron: 5.63%
Aluminium is harder to mine and process into pure metal compared to Iron but we will never run out of either of them. There's so much of it that it will last humanity for eternity.

I always see the Scandi countries ranking highest in something called "innovation", but at the same time I have not heard of one innovation coming out of there that is not Skype, Angry Birds, anti-moose driver assist, or maximizing the importation of Somalis.
What the fuck are they innovating?

Isn't it amazing to know, in 1 billion years the sun will become hot enough to boil our oceans thus making earth completely uninhabitable. And if that wasn't enough, our Galaxy "The Milky Way" will eventually collide with the "Andromeda" Galaxy in 4 billion years. In other wiords, humanity is doomed to dissappear no matter what unless humans somehow find a way to flee from this galaxy to another. Do you think we'll ever live The Milky Way?

I may have to get vaccinated against my will, along with my wife, so I am thinking about ways to mitigate the risk.
Aspirin is a popular, readily available blood thinner and is being prescribed for Covid.
Would Aspirin be able to prevent vaccine induced blood clots? If it could, why isn't it given to risk groups for blood clots, who are getting vaccinated?
I seem to have read somewhere, that Aspirin wouldn't do anything good in this case, but forget where and can't find anything about it.

>>13655171 Except now they are investigating it and Japan had issues with their vaccine paper work related to ovaries uptake. Basically, you are a fucking idiot if you think it is normal for juice that is supposed to stay in deltoid muscles target ovaries and have any kind of detrimental interaction with reproductive organs.

>>13657857 >that is supposed to stay in deltoid muscles well that's another lie being told. everyone familiar with the issue knew ahead of time vaccines will enter circulation. making the claim that it stays in the muscle means they weasel out of a lot of precautionary testing

Probability is fake. It's literally just made up nonsense by scientists to pretend they know things.
Literally, the only probability that exists is 50/50, either something happens or it doesn't. If I can roll a dice and get every number however many times, regardless of the probability, then it's wrong and not empirically or objectively true.
The only odds for anything are 50/50. Yes or no, 1/0, binary etc.

Even if the world was deterministic, you would still use probability to make decisions in situations of uncertainty, i.e. when not all information is made available. You don't want all information most of the time, for sake of dimensionality reduction. I swear this board is full of le edgy r/atheist "intellectual" redditors. Or it's all just bait. I hope it's the latter.

I’ve had a chronic mucus cough combined with trouble swallowing for the past couple years. The gastroenterologist said I have an autoimmune disease of the esophagus. She put me on a steroid inhaler which has only kind of helped. The disease is the result of a food and/or environment allergy. I eliminated gluten for a few weeks, but I didn’t see much difference.
Anonymous
>>13653909 It is EE. I saw an allergist and did the prick test. I didn’t see any food allergies in the final report, but I did see environmental allergies. I’m going to do a food allergy blood test soon. I was never given a slurry form of the inhaler, just the Flovent.

>>13654614 oh ok yeah I figured. I have a bunch of food and enviro allergies but they didn't know what was triggering it (started as a teenager) since I already knew what foods to avoid since I was a toddler. I would work with an allergist and they should be able to hook you up with the liquid version. It sucks not being able to swallow I'm sorry. At my worst I was regurgitating any non-liquids I ate for several months, so definitely stay on top of it.
