Creatinin in urine was used as a measure of kidney function for literal decades despite African Americans having lower levels despite worse kidneys by other factors. Creatinine level is/was a primary determinant of transplant eligibility. Only a few years ago some hospitals have started to use inulin which is a more race and gender neutral measurement of kidney function.

No algorithm matters if the input isn’t comprehensive enough and cost effective biological testing is not.

And then we decided not to do anything about it. No gun control, no mental health services, no improvement to communities.

All the diseases with vaccines are relatively easy mode. Soon as you take that away all you’ve got is supportive care, which is 1)expensive, 2) limited, 3)doesn’t necessarily stop all the bad stuff.

While I’d certainly believe someone other than Trump as biological father I’m not seeing the Trudeau resemblance personally.

Musk can only have IVF kids because of a botched penis enlargement. Melanie is 54, so even with IVF there’s a super slim chance at best. Without IVF it ain’t happening.

You assume there will still be real elections. There has still been no investigation of the odd increase in bullet ballots (just president votes) in swing areas. Elon and Musk continue unimpeded while Republicans are avoiding their town halls to speak to it.

They all believe they’ll be the few.

Authoritarians equate fear with respect. Aggressively putting down a riot makes people scared = people respect them. It is the same reason Putin jails critics inhumanely or Kim kills families of defectors in NK. If people lose their fear of them these despots are powerless.

10 democrats joined Republicans in voting for the censure.

I have not read a Bible beyond Genesis, would appreciate an actual quote rather than just the citation.

God forbid wanting to pursue scientific curiosity and help people.

They get you young and naive enough not much different than the military.

Literally just giving the country an icepick lobotomy.

Biotech has been in a slump for the past few years. Not an easy market for the relatively inexperienced.

Spend 5-7y for PhD getting the shaft ends of being a student and employee that is extremely underpaid then enter the job market still being treated as a replaceable entry-level employee.

Nope, still ~same amount of beer. A us pint is only 16oz which is only 473ml.

Tbf he was crucified by romans of unspecified religion. Also he got better.

The megahoarders are leeches on society anyway. Them leaving isn’t a real threat. Putting things offshore is always an option but there are ways to reduce that loophole.

It’s just fedidrama. The original mods didn’t like being told to moderate and how the admin sometimes stepped in and didn’t always tell them. Though arguably mod log would show it.

Anyway they made a mod decision that they’d move to your lemmy world instance. At the admin level LW has questionable at best policies surrounding Trans rights and a more lenient admin moderation (allow more trolls and transphobe comments to stand). They also didn’t ask the community nor give a chance for community input about said move, just kinda announced it and went for it. Communities don’t like that sort of authoritative thing- what’s a community where the leaders don’t see members as equals in running the community- and there was/is ongoing backlash with some nice mudslinging between mods the community and the blahaj admin. I think there are now new mods running this community.
