I don't know. If it's not a poison, why do they call it "alcohol poisoning"? Go figure it out.

So what? Are you saying that long term effects are worse in men than women in humans? Because that's not true.

True, true. What's interesting about this study is that the girl rats were unfazed while the boy rats had hangovers. Do their livers work differently? With humans it's not stark like that.

This should have been part of the title, because the abstract says the results are that men handle booze worse than women, which is the opposite in humans.

Giving generic feel-good advice is a decent strategy to farm likes from the naive. Some people have no shame.

I long for the day when people don't try to pass off vapid generic advice for likes. Waste of bandwidth.

"Vibe coding" is an unfortunate buzzword. I do think it's gonna help with burnout, but imposter syndrome is bound to spike.

Deadlines exist for a reason; they’re not just random torture. Without them, nothing would get done when things need to get done. But faking pressure with artificial deadlines? That’s a dumb move. It just pisses people off, and rightly so.

No, war by proxies is not peace.

The Saudis have oil cash for all—controversial, but it beats arguing politics with broke friends.

I'd say war became hot again way back when with Vietnam, Afghanistan, and Korea. Proxy wars but wars nonetheless. A major war? Perhaps 2022 was the start of it like you said, that tracks. Hopefully not though.

Disappointment alert: It wasn't fireball scrolls or a recipe for healing potions. It's a medieval rom-com.

It wasn’t America's principles that made it the world leader at the time—it was the fact that, unlike other major powers, it emerged from the world wars largely unscathed. Both peace settlements following the wars were widely criticized as unstable and unlikely to last, and they didn't.

"Make good new things" is the thesis, which is about as vague as the rest of the article. The other one is "good people make good things" which is just naive. Examples: too many to name but since this is a science forum, James Watson and John Von Neumann.

A "good" motivation doesn’t guarantee a good outcome, nor does a bad outcome ensure a good one.

"If you find your child talking to a can of tomato paste, don't worry". I don't think anyone's ever been worried about kids having imaginary friends. So long as the furniture doesn't start moving by itself.

Every year, this ancient topic creaks out of its grave: the young turn old and grumble about the kids. I bet it’s been whining since the Stone Age.

As for "the kids don't read", I doubt it. This was perhaps only true when the movies got sound.
