biological chemistry

fun fact: I have had a years-long interest into biochemistry since i was 12, and i want to study biology because of it, but i can’t; because i don’t have the time/money, because i need to get a job now to earn money, instead of spending another 6 years in school.

I also believe in free education, which includes research facilities.

It is my belief that every society benefits from free healthcare.

You know what recently came to my mind…

Israel is basically a military outpost for the US in the middle east. it’s one large military base that is supposed to pressure arab countries into giving their oil to the US. It’s “either you sell your oil in US dollar (which we can conveniently print at will) or … you know, Israel is your neighbor, and they have a ton of arms”. It’s an extortion scheme.

This is why Israel is threatened by renewable energy. Because if the world is not dependent on oil, then Israel has no reason to exist, as the US won’t give them a lot of weapons anymore to conduct their extortion scheme. And then Israel would collapse.

all gold is inherently worthless and pure speculation. it shouldn’t even have $1 in value.

they can

when you eat fruit, the sugar can enter your bloodstream directly through the mucosa in your mouth, you don’t even need to swallow it. although the main part of the absorption happens in the colon still.

The thing is that cows can’t digest grass either. They have an extra stomach along their oesophagus which is basically just a pouch where the grass goes in first. There are a lot of bacteria and they can digest grass. Then these bacteria grow because they eat the grass.

Then the cow swallows these bacteria and digests those. That’s where a cow gets their calories from.

Like all western societies, australians have their own flavor of red hats

That has nothing to do with being a western society. I’m pretty sure that China, India and Somalia have it too. Maybe named differently, and with Chinese Supremacist instead of White Supremacist groups, but pretty similar. It’s just something that exists in each human society. It’s called Chauvinism btw.

how so? isn’t it the smoke that’s bad?

Now just sell it as lemonade and profit :)

The US economy is generally down, but there are exceptions. Some companies make more profit than they did before, especially US oil companies.

Why? Simple. Prices for oil are up, the US oil companies continue to extract the same amount out of the ground, which they can now sell at higher prices -> higher profit.

I mean nobody in their right fucking mind would expect the Iron Dome to be impenetrable. Maybe the Israelis are so high on their own supply (media propaganda) that they actually believe Iron Dome to be 100% safe but it’s not.

Fundamentally, the question is what does it cost to launch a missile and what does it cost to intercept one? If it costs $10k to launch a missile but $30k to intercept one, then the economics is on the side of the attacker; Meanwhile if it costs $100k to launch a missile but only $30k to intercept, then the economics are on the side of the defender. That’s what you have to look at.

And the issue is that even if Iron Dome would catch most missiles, some still make it through, and what is the cost of that? The damage they do.

The US government fundamentally doesn’t give a crap about your wellbeing. In fact if you die at 56 instead of 76 the government can cheap out of approximately 16 years of paying you a retirement.

i’d rather have him chicken out than continue a pointless war though

It’s difficult to describe how much Trump is doing for the climate here.

yeah that makes sense actually
