  • The article I read which had this photo featured stated that Putin had invited a bunch of reporters to Kupiansk to see how the Russian forces had surrounded the city.

    Then Zelensky went there and took this photo to be like “oh no, Russia has this place surrounded? I would have never known”

    No Idea if that’s true, but that’s the gist I took away from that post.

    The prestige of a journal is ranked based on how often it gets cited (or in other words, how influential the papers are within the journal).

    Wouldn’t this mean that other smaller journals could still publish the random common boring studies and then pretty much everyone would be citing those, since the boring stuff like “Trees consume carbon dioxide” would be cited a lot more than specific stuff like “Molecule XX2 can affect the brain development of Augustus caesarius if introduced between the ages of 3 and 6 months” and than become super prestigious?

    I wonder what would happen if we transplanted some penguins from Antarctica to the arctic. Would they survive?

    Maybe some of the more endangered ones could live and thrive up there, and then become a second food source for the polar bears so they don’t starve now that there isn’t as much ice to hunt seals on.

    It’s not like there much of an ecosystem up there that an invasive species can fuck up like the toads down in Australia.

    Devil’s advocate, is she trying to say compared to those unvaccinated but still exposed to/have had the virus? Or people who were never exposed? Because that could maybe change the context. You would think antibodies from a vaccine would stay around the same length of time as those exposed to the live virus directly.

    If she is talking about people never exposed than I have no idea what she is talking about.






  • I don’t know, to me a * b * c is basically just the exact same as abc but just easier to type on a computer. If you were writing it down on paper or a black board they would probably use dots. Coding often uses * because who wants to type in those dots would be a pain in the ass and the * basically looks the closest to a dot.
