I would really like to understand "can't read". Does this mean if I gave them something to read in front of the class that they couldn't read it without stopping / stuttering? Does it mean they can't read for comprehension? I'm assuming it's that they are not functionally illiterate. I assume it means can't read at their education level.

Submission + - Two monster black holes just collided — it's so massive, it shouldn't exis (sciencedaily.com)

alternative_right writes: Two colossal black holes—among the most massive ever seen—collided in deep space, creating gravitational waves that rippled across the cosmos and shook the foundations of astrophysical theory. Detected by the LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA observatories, this record-breaking merger has stunned scientists not only because of its size, but also due to the black holes’ extreme spins, challenging our current understanding of how such behemoths form.

I took the 2nd dose and it was a wild ride. I experienced what most of my friends had: chills, aches, little fever. But when I people needing double-lung transplants after getting Covid, some aches and pains don't seem so bad.

Just my 2c.

Experiment Shows Not Washing Jeans for 15 Months is Disgusting But Safe 258

Posted by samzenpus on Friday January 21, 2011 @02:06PM from the thank-you-science dept.

dbune writes "Young people who argue with their parents over wearing the same pair of smelly jeans can now cite the work of a 20-year old University of Alberta student who wore the same jeans for 15 months straight. From the article: 'Josh Le wore the same pair of jeans to break in the raw denim, so it would wrap the contours of his body, leaving distinct wear lines. He had his textile professor test the jeans for bacteria before washing them for the first time. The results showed high counts of five different kinds of bacteria, but nothing in the range of being considered a health hazard."
