Not to mention the "stupid = ugly" wojacks

Reminds me of biblical genealogies. "Jared who begot Enoch who begot Methuselah who begot Lamech who begot Noah" sort of deal

Broke: The results of IQ testing are dependent on a person's intelligence. Intelligence is an objective reality that can be observed and measured with IQ testing.

Woke: The results of IQ testing are independent of a person's intelligence. Intelligence is an objective reality but complex and impossible to perfectly measure.

Bespoke: A person's 'intelligence' is dependent on the results of IQ testing. Intelligence is a social construct and IQ testing is a means to reinforce that construct.

I'm sure this article is right about the difference in deaths mostly being due to access to care but I'd be really interested to see what the rates of developing cancer in the first place are. Just ask a line cook how many of their coworkers smoke vs someone in middle management

And adjusting for smoking rates you might still see a difference. Poor areas have much higher rates of pollution and idk about the UK but where I live a lot of the cheapest rental units are basement suites where the radon exposure risk is of course higher.

Most major Chinese cities have coronavirus labs ('member the SARS epidemic?) and epidemics usually become first noticeable in major cities.

Yes the last one came from bats (COVID), and the one before that (MERS), and the one before that (SARS)

These restrictions are going to make some people on safe supply go back to street-level, and reducing diversion is going to just make the street-level supply more toxic than it already is.

But hey, gotta break a few eggs (kill a bunch of innocent people) to make an omelette (slightly reduce the gangs' profit margins)

Yes and no. It means Frosti's daughter because her father's name is Frosti (Frosti is conjugated to Frosta to mean Frosti's). All Icelandic "last names" work like that: made from the father's name and 'dottir' or 'son'. The name Frosti comes from a dwarf in the Eddur and yes is derived from the Icelandic/Old Norse word frost.

Also the impact risk corridor passes through states that are poorly equipped for large civil defence operations: Ethiopia and the CAR are in civil wars, Yemen is in a civil war with the majority of the country under the control of an unrecognized government, and the South Sudanese government is quite week—being at peace only for the last 5 years

Author-date systems create line noise that makes text hard to grok. Numeric systems (with or without footnotes) don't have that problem. Honestly I don't see the point of author-date. If a a paper is really important then it should be referenced in prose, otherwise "(Kowalchuck et al., 2018)" doesn't tell you anything more than "[11]"; you're still gonna need to look it up in the bibliography. And that looking up is actually made harder: finding [11] between [10] and [12] is easier than finding Kowalchuk between Kowal and Kowalski or whatever other names happen to be there.

We already have that technology it just sucks. Look up plant microbial fuel cells
