  • It’s true. Friends call me Snow Miser, whatever I touch turns to snow in my clutch. Interstellar was still awful though lol. I might have enjoyed it like any other scifi if it wasn’t specifically advertised as a scientifically accurate portrayal of space travel, but that is how it was advertised and accurate it was not





  • From the abstract, emphasis mine

    “Moreover, although inequality initially seemed to undermine mental health, the publication-bias-corrected association was null”

    Maybe this term is reasonable and I’m just not familiar with the field of study, but this sounds suspiciously like “when you ignore all the woke dei nonsense” dressed up in academic language.

    Edit: it also points out that economic inequality does cause adverse mental health outcomes but only in low income people so that can be ignored for the conclusion. Honestly I feel like my takeaway is that getting published in Nature doesn’t mean what it used to

    Assuming the probability distribution falls off like a gaussian, I’d guess something like 3.5 to 4 times as large. I dont remember if that specific probability density function is gaussian or not, but assuming a distribution falls off like a gaussian is usually a safe bet

    My biological father did that shit every time we went to a restaurant while I was growing up. Then he’d usually try to get them to flirt with me, starting from when I was like 8. I still hate going to restaurants with table service decades later

    Was working on a PhD in CS focused on industrial cybersecurity, though current events involving the three letter agency that funded my research lead to me crashing out and now I’m trying to get into law school and do immigration law. Far too frail and pasty to buy a farm though



  • Pedantically, I think you could call muon tomography an antimatter imaging method. It doesnt explicitly use antimatter as a probe, but you do often measure products of antimatter decay or decay products that are antimatter themselves when doing it (depending on how much fidelity you need on the structure being imaged). I say pedantically because I assume you meant medical imaging methods and muon tomography doesnt have medical applications afaik


  • Looks delicious! I absolutely love chili as a vehicle to use ingredients I need to get out of my fridge/pantry. I made a white chili this weekend with miso paste; adding red miso to beef chili is so good that I consider it a core chili ingredient, but I dont think light miso in white chili worked that well. Other main ingredients were chicken thigh, bacon, white beans, poblanos, cowhorns, chipotles, serranos, tomatoes and cumin
