  • You don't know what fetishization is.

  • There's a number of points this comment misses. First, it wasn't pharmaceutical companies, but moms group of autistic children that approached him.

    [I]n 1995, while conducting research into Crohn's disease, he was approached by Rosemary Kessick, the parent of a child with autism, who was seeking help with her son's bowel problems and autism; Kessick ran a group called Allergy Induced Autism. In 1996, Wakefield turned his attention to researching possible connections between the MMR vaccine and autism.

    And the time, he was still a well regarded scientist and doctor:

    At the time of his MMR research study, Wakefield was senior lecturer and honorary consultant in experimental gastroenterology at the Royal Free Hospital School of Medicine

    This was also published in 1998 in The Lancet an important medical journal, but the controversy didn't start with this publication, but his press conference after the publication where he did advocate for single vaccines and not a combined MMR. Pretty poor form and highly criticized at the time.

    The media took this and ran with it. It caused wide spread misinformation about autism and the MMR vaccine. But it was also a media outlet that began to tear apart the claims in 2004.

    It wasn't retracted until 2010 and a full write up about what went wrong in the BMJ in 2011. There was a lot of criticism before then, but I was also highly cited as well.

    There's a lot of lessons to be learned here and that is best done with the full story.

  • The CGI is amazing.

  • I'm pretty unclear about what you're asking. So I'll do my best to answer them as I read it.

    Humans need salt. As far as I know, there is not chemical reaction in our cooking that transforming the molecules in salt (Na+ and Cl- for table salt).

    With that said, I believe OP was answering of when to add salt for flavor maximization.

    Since salt doesn't transform the process of cooking, nutrient absorption is the same. Microwaving doesn't alter food despite it being radiation. Microwaves heat your food by vibrating the water molecules.

  • It's been over 20 years, but why is 5s1 4d10 a correct representation and not 5s2 4d9?

    Edit: is it because d10 is more stable than d9? But then s1 is less stable than s2.

  • Baskets and wheels.

  • The Last Dragon and Bloodsports.

  • This has to be the most persistent, stupidest reading of the vote.

  • It doesn't matter what he sees. We as society have constructed that meaning. He knows it and is just an asshole. If he wants to change that meaning, he has to convince others to adopt that meaning and not just do what he wants.

    This has nothing to do with the death of the author or post modernism, but people who get all twisted about have been saying this for sixty years now. Here's a thirty year old example of missing the point.

  • Doing something that resonates with your base and, frankly, most Americans, could help. I can't help you beyond that.

  • It's far more complicated than that to get an amendment passed including a route that doesn't require Congress.

    Second, there is value in trying things that will fail. It sends a signal to the citizenry that this isn't acceptable. This can be a good just as much as it can damage their reputation. In my opinion, the Dems need to rebuild a reputation that is connected to the people in some meaningful way. I don't get the sense that Democratic leadership see that as the core issue

  • They may need to.

    They are not capable.

  • I'm reading this and think, "Oh man... I wish I had shot a cross bow in 4th grade."

    This was a college class.

    Ugh. Wait! Do 4th graders go to college.... No. No they don't.

  • Should we tell him about Noah's arcsin?

  • Can't wait the Mike Judge limited series on this.

  • Probably to flash it with grapheneOS? The $100, I believe is reserved for a purchase of a Pixel though.
