Yet I still get surprised when I find some opinions spread in US.
In Europe we use SI units, and we measure large distances over the Earth in km. As it turns out, "m" is an SI unit, and "k" is an SI prefix, thus it is ok.
It is 35x around the Earth. But forget it, if you are from USA, as I'm not willing to argue about the shape of the Earth.
NIH had promised but not delivered money on human-animal chimeric research in the past. Thus researchers are already used to bad surprises.
BTW Giving money that you do not own is not altruistic. It is stealing. And while it can be involved to check the sources of given money, this Ponzi scheme was well discernible.
Discussions on that by people who know something is within comments on a blogpost by P. W., following a comment there.
TLDR: It is about toy models that (so far) do not describe this universe.
Hi, first of all, I admit that I should had not written it in a confrontational way. Using such a tone leads to nowhere, thus I'll not continue in that part.
Regarding the slogan, I understood what he meant; and I disagree with that. According to both my personal experience, and according to texts on life at workplace that I read, it is better when you can offer something too. Thus I tried to alter that slogan so that I could agree with it.
Regarding (public) education in US, it looks like a (form of) business when seen from outside US. But yeah, it would be a long discussion on that.
Enjoy your life, regardless of your education and slogans!
Everything is a business in US, incl. healthcare and education, contrary to the ways e.g. in EU. Thus no surprise here.
BTW Your signature shows that US education has more issues, assuming you are from US. If that sentence started with "Being the most curious person" then hey, yes. But not the way you have it. And generally, it is the best case when everyone in the room knows something more than the other ones know, since then the learning can work the best.
All those terrible jokes on brain-dead Canadians aside (they are, but they do not deserve this). I hope that they'll find soon by what it is caused, guessing some toxin, alike the article says they guess too.
Could this be helped by citizen science where people would try to find out the paths of the toxins (assuming it is that way)? Like, say, it is done for the contact tracing.
Still it is good to remind us of their evilness. People tend to forget.
I've started to avoid that company as h*ll for what they do to their customers.
PS I am not Canadian, thus this comment needn't be deleted even though it vilifies a group of people identified as working at that company.
