Who said DNA was hydrophobic? I'm sorry, but we're not disagreeing. Phtalates are very lithophilic and that's a major mechanism of their accumulation in the body.

If phtalates were highly polar, they wouldn't be soluble in plastic. That means they're going to bind to fat tissue and non-polar receptors.

Having an oracle to chat with is a good product, but a bad framing for the tech. IMO all the broken expectations come from viewing the output as something that comes from "an other", a thing other than yourself with knowledge and experience, when really it's more of a mirror, reflecting your words back to you, enlarged or squeezed like funhouse mirrors (back in my day we didn't have skinny filters, we had to walk uphill to the pier and stand in front of a distorted piece of mercury glass! ;).

Tried it and it worked, I am type 2 diabetic at 210 pounds, all from lack of restraint. After 12 weeks I had lost 35 lbs, with no apparent side effects. MD check with an ECG showed all was good.

To be blunt, this is driven by the rejection of flakes by a significant group of the contributor base, despite it being much more adopted by the user base at large.

Even as someone who does think Flakes are better than the prior solutions, I'm increasingly of the opinion that Flakes would be better moved to a layer outside the core Nix project - advancing them within core Nix at this stage seems pretty impossible with many within the project opposed to their existence. I think if Flakes were an alternative project at the same level as something like Niv, a lot of the holy warring would get out of the way.

Think they really got started after the FDA/ATF started to crack down on Juul, which gained significant popularity over previous designs by focusing on usability and convenience by using a capsule as you have mentioned.

I'm not quite sure exactly what I'm doing; it feels a bit like tensing a muscle, but that muscle feels like it's in the middle of my head, a bit toward the back. Obviously there are no actual muscles there, so I'm not sure what's actually happening.

If you try raising one eyebrow or wiggling one ear (assuming you can't already do that), you might find that you're briefly activating lots of little muscles around the target as your body tries to figure out where that's mapped in your brain. Once you get the right muscle, you can relax the other false positives, and eventually just have the single muscle isolated. It's similar in my "brain flow" thing: usually a couple random muscles in my head want to join in, but I can intentionally relax them and keep the "flow" going. A common one is the tensor tympani -- the two "muscles" seem to be closely mapped together. If you can rumble your ears (manually activating the tensor tympani), try initiating a rumble, and then "move" the activation in between your ears, right to your mid-back brain. (Again: I know there's no actual muscle there, so /shrug).

Communication satellites generally need to have multiple antennas to provide spanning coverage over large geographic areas, which are divided up into coverage cells; some of the antennas may be phased array antennas; antennas and their associated coverage "beams" are generally steerable to some degree, electronically for phased array, and/or mechanically via physical gimbal mechanisms. In some or most cases, communication signals are non-viable without focused coverage because the signal strength would otherwise be insufficient.

Received signal strength, from the point of view of a terrestrial satellite communications terminal on the ground/airborne/maritime can also vary based on where the terminal is located within the footprint of a communication satellite's coverage beam; it's typically strongest at the center of a beam.

The most primitive conceptual model for a communications satellite is often described as a "bent pipe," where signals transmitted up to a satellite from the ground are relayed as-received by the satellite back down to terrestrial receivers. In the linked article, the diagram reflects a concept such that: if a "jammer" can interfere with the transmitted signal to the satellite in a manner that the satellite cannot discern the true signal from noise contributed by the "jammer," what is relayed back down to terrestrial receivers by the satellite is "drowned out" because the relayed signal is now a combination of the true signal and sufficiently more noise contributed by the jammer rendering the communications channel and any signals over that channel non-viable (i.e. "jammed").

I'm not 100% sure, but it's something like this:

(Again: I know there's no actual muscle there, so /shrug). Another closely mapped muscle, at least for me, is a small one around/under/behind the ears that has a "face tightening" effect. It's like there are three muscles conceptually mapped to similar brain space: one tightens my ears/eyes/temples, one rumbles my tensor tympani, and one induces a feeling of "flow" down my spine and through my brain.

Human exposure to nanoplastics and the potential for enhanced release of plastic additives are of potential concern.

I'm telling you that you're overgeneralizing based on incorrect information. The paper being discussed here directly refutes your hypothesis of action, because it's about a particular chemical that is known to be metabolized, causing downstream effects in an extremely polar molecule (DNA).

Generally, "pthalates" are not a thing, but rather a whole bunch of different things (some are hydrophobic, some are not), and many of them are metabolized by the human body, so they don't actually accumulate. You have to be more specific.

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/17604388/

> If phtalates were highly polar, they wouldn't be soluble in plastic.

Setting aside "highly polar", which is not specific, you are wrong. Many/most pthalates are far from what chemists consider "hydrophobic", and are in fact esters, alcolhols and acids.

> Also, the paper didn't study "a chemical," it covered about 30.

You are cherry picking text out of the report, and removing it from the overall context. The UN investigators visited multiple locations, some of which did not contain evidence, and some of which did. See sections 58/60/61/66/68.

The conclusion of the report itself reads:
“Overall, based on the totality of information gathered from multiple and independent sources at the different locations, there are reasonable grounds to believe that conflict-related sexual violence occurred at several locations across the Gaza periphery, including in the form of rape and gang rape, during the 7 October 2023 attacks. Credible circumstantial information, which may be indicative of some forms of sexual violence, including genital mutilation, sexualized torture, or cruel, inhuman and degrading treatment, was also gathered.”

At this point I don’t see any further point in discussing this subject. I’m only replying in case someone reads these comments, and doesn’t dig deeper into the report. I find it concerning that you glossed over those sections and the conclusion of the report, while only presenting text that supports your viewpoint. It’s bad enough that ~700-800 civilians were murdered in the first place, and it’s horrible that civilians continue to die in Gaza through the present. Please have a good day.

Charizard Fire Blast vs. Venusaur: 236-278 (65 - 76.5%) -- guaranteed 2HKO

Venusaur Razor Leaf vs. Charizard on a critical hit: 31-37 (8.6 - 10.3%) -- possibly the worst move ever

Worth noting that toxic gets downgraded to regular poison after switching out, which does 1/16th of damage every turn, and blocks other status like paralysis or sleep.

Leech seed would probably not do much, and is lost upon switching out.

Growth is ok, but since venusaur is slower, you only reduce damage by 33% on your second hit, not great.

Sleep powder would give you a chance, if it hits (75%) and if zard doesn't crit. But it would also waste your team's sleep if you are playing with sleep clause.

Q.E.D Charizard>Venusaur

That said it's not a transitive superiority, as we know Blastoise> Charizard, and Venusaur>Blastoise.

That said Charizard beats venusaur harder than venusaur beats blastoise, as the turtle has access to ice beam and blizzard, so it can at least deal non-stab super effective damage back before getting wrecked by razor leaf. And as a bonus gets a chance to crit or freeze.

Blastoise Blizzard vs. Venusaur: 158-186 (43.5 - 51.2%) -- 5.4% chance to 2HKO

Venusaur Razor Leaf vs. Blastoise on a critical hit: 256-302 (70.9 - 83.6%) -- guaranteed 2HKO

Finally while Zard doesn't have SE coverage moves against Blastois it is faster, so it can get 2 moves in before dying, either 2 slashes or a swords dance and a hyper beam, which deal the same damage but would leave zard roided against the next mon. (Or a slash +beam if you roll for a crit.)

Blastoise Surf vs. Charizard: 205-242 (57.1 - 67.4%) -- guaranteed 2HKO

+2 (swords dance) Charizard Hyper Beam vs. Blastoise: 194-228 (53.7 - 63.1%) -- guaranteed 2HKO

So while mon superiority by matchups are not transitive, that is, we cannot order starter pokemon from best to worst. We can definitely order their matchups from best to worst:

1) Zard vs Venusaur
2) Blastoise vs Zard
3) Venusaur vs Blastoise

With 2 and 3 being closer than 1 and 2.

The matchups themselves are transitive, and as such, in terms of starter matchups Charizard is the best, and Venusaur is the worst
