Submission + - Scientists May Have Finally Figured Out How Bats Avoid Cancer (sciencealert.com)

alternative_right writes: Several bats species have been found to possess multiple copies of a known tumor-suppressing gene called p53. Humans have just a single copy, while other cancer-resistant animals, like elephants, boast up to 20. Mutations in this gene are linked to more than half of all human cancers

But a mechanism that's too aggressive at killing cells is obviously not desirable either. Thankfully, bats compensate with an overactive enzyme called telomerase, which allows their cells to continue to proliferate.

I disagree with you. Not with right to repair, but with the idea that Trump would be against this. I'm a Trump supporter, and I think this case moving forward is a good thing. Right to repair needs to be a thing in all 50 states and John Deere is one of the worst of the offenders. True patriots understand that competition is a good thing.

Comment Please waste more of my money (Score 0) 101

Yes! Please spend more of my money on people I don't know on things they don't need. I love it when you do that. Oh wait. They actually stopped it from happening? That doesn't sound like congress. All they want to do is spend my money. This sounds made up.

The "Cruel" made me lol, so thanks for that :)

Comment The company I work for should do it "my way"! (Score 4, Insightful) 194

All I read was Blah, blah, blah, I want to force an employer to do things the way I think they should be done.

If the driver's aren't making enough money (profit sharing, benefits, 401k, etc = more money), they wouldn't be doing it. It's not like the drivers are forced to work for Uber. They can do the same thing for one of the competitors, or they can go do some other job.

You think drivers should make more, but the market disagrees. That means you are wrong.

Comment 78 days vs 72 days vs 250 days (Score 1) 560

"Between November 2017 and October 2018, people on basic income worked an average of 78 days, which was six days more than those on unemployment benefits."
That 78 has to be a typo. If it's not, I'm not impressed. They basically took a bunch of losers who only work 72 days a year. Gave them some money and they now work 78 days a year. Normal people work around 250 days a year. Heck, call it 200 if you have LOTS of vacation/holidays. So these losers are working less than half as many days as normal people 72 or 78 days a year, either way, they are a drain on society and deserve to starve.

Comment blah (Score 2) 474

It's weird to see all these newfags posting pro censorship drivel. Either it is a platform and they aren't legally liable for content, or they are publisher and they are legally liable for content. If you are censoring content, then you are a publisher and in control of what is published. I don't care which way YouTube chooses to go, but you can't censor and at the same time be not liable for content.
