It is not an anticoagulant, quite the opposite actually. The blood (limulus amoebocyte lysate) will coagulate at the slightest hint of gram-negative bacteria and their endotoxins.
It's most likely a defense mechanism against bacterial infections.
It's widely used in medicine to check for bacterial contamination of injectable pharmaceuticals.
The US also has a tendency of exporting its nonsense to the rest of the world. So it's not like we're safe out here watching the clown show.
See Myanmar justifying its 2021 coup d'état by "election fraud" (wonder where they got that idea) and Bolsonaro's fanbase doing a more violent copycat version of Jan 6 in Brasil as examples.
Do it. We need repetition and peer review, otherwise it's just a case study.
I've been in therapy for so long, I basically understand it well enough intellectually to be able to help others.
I know exactly how it's supposed to help me, but deriving actual benefit or being able to apply the techniques to myself has never been the slightest possibility.
It is a fair point, being obese and poor can definitely be a a horrific feedback loop to get out of.
In developed countries anyways, you don't really see it in places where food is scarce, of course.
The only Jesse Watters clip I can get behind is the one where his mom tells him how disappointed she is in him for lying to people for profit.
I kinda have the inverse with anxiety.
I don't realize how incredibly anxious I am all the bloody time, until I have that brief rare window without it.
One movie is a deeply-troubling psychological thriller about the man made horrors beyond your comprehension, that shakes you to your very core, the other tells the story of the discovery of the atomic bomb.
I love how just a year ago, he was the one to call out FTX.
People in glass houses shouldn't throw stones and all that...
The whole industry seems like a criminal plot at this point.
Sadly a lot of the companies harvesting them will just kill and sell them for bait anyways.
Of those that are released, about a third die. Not to say about the decrease in overall fitness, which can lead to them falling prey more easily.
It's obviously a traumatic experience for the animal in the best case scenario and that is going to reflect on their ability to survive in the wild.
A gag order has since been lifted. Whether it's the one that would cover this, I have no bloody clue.
And frankly the fact, you even need to think about which gag order is in effect, is some peak trash reality TV drama. Which figures.
Tbh, the GPU looks like the most nutritious and least processed foodstuff out of everything in the pic.
I'm more fascinated by the countertop. Although thin and probably composite rather than natural stone, it's still stone and that can get really expensive. It might honestly get more expensive to do this and fix it later than just do it right from the getgo.
Currently there's just these three, as we have lost a very spicy dumpling last week.
Well, obviously not a big ship
Nice work with the pinky, man.
I doubt it would tbh. It's more or less equivalent to Nintendo shutting down the eshop, or an MMO terminating its online service.
You do not own digital games, you own a license to use a service that may or may not be provided to you.
Stockholm syndrome was made up to cover for police incompetence
I can't fucking believe this is your main issue with this boomer-ass garbage.
Mysogyny, but make it diverse.
Horseshoe crabs are not crusteceans, they are early chelicerates.
They have an open circulatory system, where the blood (heamolymph) freely spills out of the arteries into surrounding tissues, so a small clot probably wouldn't cause issues. Think of it like a cyst, sometimes if an infection can't be removed by the immune system, your body will just enclose it in a capsule, so it can't spread.
That being said, living in a post-soviet country, women still have a considerably harder job becoming accomplished academics.
Though that's at least partially due to globalization and the pressure to publish internationally to be worth a damn as a scientist.
Oh god, that reminded me of this statue. It has a LOT going on. So many questions. Perhaps they're better left unanswered.
Gay = big funny
Here's a springboard article, if you want to do your own research.
The woman, based on whom the term was coined (the psychiatrist never even talked to her) wrote an autobiography "I became Stockholm Syndrome".
There's also the works of Allan Wade, a Canadian psychologist, who has talked to the victims throughout his career.
Basically when you're at the whims of an armed lunatic, you might cozy up to them in order to appease them. The victims were also really afraid of the police coming in and shooting them. Which is pretty justified, considering the police couldn't even identify the perpetrator before conceding on his demands and bringing in his prison buddy.
The guy with a gun, whom they've been talking to for days and has not hurt them in the slightest looked much less dangerous than the impending doom of the police barging in and shooting the wrong person.
It's the white emerald mine owner equivalent of ghetto names.
Lil Nas was named after a car and I love it.
I'd always thought oranges were supposed to be red.
TBH, I'd much prefer getting a Farmville request than most of the shit Facebook tries to shove down your throat as notifications these days.
(Random person you don't know, posted in a group you are in, some random weirdo also happened to comment on a thread you engaged with a week ago, 6 people you barely know responded to 6 events, you couldn't give a rat's ass about...)
Technically molecules consist of ions, not atoms. Though now that I look it up, they're used more or less interchangeably in English in this context.
Gets pretty deep the more you think about it. There are 0 hydrogen atoms in a molecule of water. Does that mean the sun is a negative star?
What I'm saying is, life has no meaning.
Run, sweet summer child, run far away from here. You don't want to know.
I want to believe these are pickled body parts found at a serial killer's pantry, because the idea someone pickled innocent veggies in this nightmare is somehow more disturbing.
Montero is his birthname :D He's literally named after a Mitsubishi car.
I don't think it's as simple as that. Science is messy and knowing its limitations is just as important as knowing its conclusion.
Scientific opinion can and should be able to change pretty rapidly, the educational system can't.
Besides, a cardiologist is highly unlikely to be able to reliably tell whether a neurological study's conclusions are sound, or not. Let alone someone, who isn't even a doctor.
To top it all up, the monetary incentives in academia are about as corrupt, as it gets. It wasn't so long ago, when studies about how smoking tobacco isn't actually harmful, or addictive, got published in mainstream journals (funded by the tobacco industry, of course).
The result is being taught science that was disproven 20 years ago. I think primary education should focus just as much on critical thinking as it does on learning facts at the very minimum.
Nothing could make this meme better
Not Even Doom Music
I'm sorry to everyone, who gets the reference
I just don't pretend 😅 Most people will get it if you're honest and those who won't, aren't very good people to keep around.
Birds do not have periods. Most mammals don't either for that matter. Pretty much only primates, bats and like 4 other mammalian species menstruate.
Thank you! He lived to a pretty ripe old age for a dwarf hamster :) He was a rescue, so hard to say how old he was exactly, but we had him for over 16 months, which is nothing to sneeze at as is. One part of being a rescue was his bloodthirstiness, went right for the fingers. Hence a spicy Dumpling.
Yeah, one day I came across the Charlie bit my finger video and I was like "wait, I know these guys!"
Depends. Some console games contain the entirety of the game. However oftentimes they still might require a system update to play, which won't be available forever.
So yeah, you don't really own anything.
I love how every single source emphasizes it's "single-planet", just because it's by Hello Games.
Cause fantasy games with dragons are famously known to all contain interstellar travel.
