Submission + - Mice Give First Aid (thetimes.com)

databasecowgirl writes: The Times is reporting an interesting study published in Science in which mice demonstrated doing first aid. In the replicated study, an anaesthetised mouse is exposed to another mouse who recognises the distress and clears airway to revive the unconscious mouse.

The mice had never seen an unconscious animal before, so the behaviour is thought to be instinctive.

Submission + - Elections Over, German Government Launches National Snitch Line (hotair.com)

An anonymous reader writes: The democratically elected German government is, in fact, launching a two-pronged effort — either online or by phone — to afford their citizens avenues for 'advice' on how to deal with conspiracy freaks. Those in their personal lives or even ones of accidental acquaintance who speak such strange and terrifying sentiments not approved by polite society that a good German might be...alarmed by the utterances.

Comment Too Late (Score 3, Insightful) 68

I would say most content on reddit is repost bots already with bots repeating comments from the last time whatever it is was posted. This is already a lot of slop to go around on reddit. Then combine that with astroturfing and coordinated agenda posting. It's hardly useable anymore outside of a few small subreddits.

Comment TNG (Score 1) 634

TNG, but the first season is pretty slow so show some of the better ones at first like Darmok, Ship in a Bottle, or the ones with Q. If she likes it go back to the beginning and see if she can follow from there. After that usually DS9, then it's really it's personal preference from there. TOS is good, but it's really dated so a lot of people actually skip it or watch it last.
