Ignorance is easy though. Just do nothing at all to better yourself.

I’ve personally seen surprising improvement using the opposite approach - the addition of a low grade antibiotic (doxycycline) course. It’s been the only change to her treatment in the last several years. It’s astounding to see someone with relapsing remitting MS go from barely able to lift her hand to feed herself to almost standing on her own and doing a couple laps around the living room with a walker.
Edit: to add this is obviously an n of 1 anecdote, but it gives me an insight to investigate further.

> Anyone in orbit just above the event horizon would move at about 6km / s, roughly comparable to low Earth orbital velocity, and would be subject to only 50 gees
Wait, what? Wouldn't they be subject to 0 gees, seeing as they're in orbit, i.e. experiencing no acceleration?

Yes. He made some kind of math error on that point. Everything else he said is correct though.

Quasars are basically constantly on the verge of exploding and imploding at the same time.
Boggles the mind.

No. Black holes have a size. A black hole with 30 billion solar masses has a radius of a little less than 600 AU (Astronomical Units, the average distance from the earth to the sun).

A 30 billion solar mass black hole has a diameter of nearly 600 times that of earths orbit around the sun. That's pretty big.

Reply to comment by SHALL_NOT_BE_REEE in Firearms deaths involving preschool-aged children had increased at an alarmingly high rate in the United States in the past decade, but state laws may help curb shooting deaths among young children. by Wagamaga
More open carry laws, must issue laws, concealed carry laws etc
all of which support more people carrying firearms in public, concealed or openly.

Indeed, usually driven by fearmongering, scaremongering, propaganda and misinformation from right-wing politicians and corporate media like Fox etc

Spelling is hard smart ass. And for your information, 3 of those 4 misspells were autocorrect's fault.

You say this on Reddit and not note the irony, do you?

In the linked article, they said are hoping to find a way to neutralize the toxin.

Please stop saying theory. I don't think you're using it the way it should be in a scientific context.

Cinnamaldehyde, thymol, citrus, chamomile, roman oil, carvacrol, oregano oil, green tea extract, saturated lauric acid and unsaturated linoleic acid appear to be effective.

They can enact their own laws if they don't violate constitutional rights.

If you pre-carbonate the concrete you are not going to have the alkaline environment which prevents the corrosion of the steel reinforcement in the concrete. That will necessarily lead to expansive corrosion and spalling of the concrete. An approach like this might be effective for mass concrete, with no reinforcement, but that's a very small part of the concrete market.

The homicide rate... is this split into justified homicide vs criminal homicide? Or is this just a stat for the children homicide rate?

Put it this way, tho typing a little slower would allow me to better spell words, you still got the information that I put forward. Why in that situation should I improve if I would just be accomplishing the same task but slower? Edit: in that case, is it even an improvement?
