"Vote blue no matter who" was always projection
  • In fact I remember the KKK being the first organization's to endorse Trump. I remember this because the second was Yueng Ling which I refuse to drink even though I love cheap lagers. This was early on, so not the common blanket endorsement of the party's nominee, but genuinely working to sway the primaries when it wasn't yet clear he'd win even the republican primary.

  • Controversial climate rule, which could raise CA gas prices, about to go into effect
  • Sure, if you want to heighten economic disparity. Other modes of transport need to be made more available and affordable first. It's not practical or even possible for me to take public transit 99% of the time so making gas that insanely expensive would do nothing but drain my bank account, as with the majority of Americans.

  • In first two months of California daylighting law, San Diego police gives out 4,200 tickets
  • Given that most cities have areas with varying proportions of people of different ethnicities, yeah it can be discriminatory. They just target certain neighborhoods and know that those are far more likely to be people of a certain background. Not saying they did or didn't do it here, but that's how they can do things like that.

  • The causes of Alzheimer’s disease are in doubt. The first Black psychiatrist challenged consensus over 100 years ago
  • Scary that asking for a citation is considered contempting by some. That doesn't back up what the other person said at all though. There's a huge difference between saying a virus causes AD and saying that infections worsen cognitive decline in AD. I understand not everyone is experienced in reading scientific literature, but it's important to recognize that and not spread misinformation if you don't understand what is being described. The closest this paper gets is to connecting two things: infections cause inflammation and inflammation contributes to AD. Both of these things have already been known for a long time. This does not mean AD is a result of a virus or viral infections.

  • US universities curtail PhD admissions amid Trump science funding cuts
  • I started mine in 2023. I got one experiment run and I probably won't get to run another. My dissertation will likely be made up of just running different analyses with the existing data I have. So glad we chose a government more based on caring about which genitals were in which genital restricted sports than caring about funding things like my research on Alzheimer's.

  • The causes of Alzheimer’s disease are in doubt. The first Black psychiatrist challenged consensus over 100 years ago
  • As a researcher in the field, this article doesn't really give a good explanation of what's going on here. Seems to say he just doubted the cause but didn't provide any other ideas. Researchers right now are thinking the amyloid beta still plays a major part, the issue is free floating amyloid beta, not the plaques. The plaques therefore would just be another symptom of this free floating amyloid beta. Also, it's surprisingly similar to diabetes, just localized in the brain. So don't be overweight.

  • *looks around* Stamets ain't exactly wrong
  • Everyone acts like we collectively only realized he was an idiot like 2 years ago. I remember when I first heard about him in college around 2016 I didn't like him even then. His ego was clearly apparent and his "progressive persona" was obviously a persona.

  • 18650 Appears to have no voltage

    So I have an Astrolux MF01S with the extended battery tube and recently it wouldn't turn on after not having really used it in a bit due to moving. I put all the cells into my XTAR VC8 and one of the cells wasn't recognized by the charger. I used a multimeter and it's not reading any voltage from that cell (reads appropriate voltage from other cells). Is there anything to do or is this cell just dead for some reason? I believe they're the samsung 30Q's that are generally recommended.

    Galaxy Watch notification issues

    Can anyone help me solve this? I have a Samsung Galaxy Watch (I believe it's the original, I got it in 2019) and ever since my phone (S23 Ultra) last updated it doesn't save my notification settings. I like to have it set so that my watch still notifies me while I am on my phone and that when my watch is connected to my phone it silences notifications on my phone. I can still set that, but when I turn it off at night it resets the settings so every morning I have to open the wearable app and redo my settings. Does anyone know how to fix this?

    Help with watch not working

    Can anyone help me figure out how to fix this watch? I had seen a video that said it was likely that Center screw being loose so it wouldn't wind, but even after tightening that it won't start ticking. Bought some simple tools and I'm willing to mess with it (I believe it was a cheap watch) I just have no clue what to do.

    Beginner camera recommendations

    I'm looking at getting into photography and I'm trying to decide on what camera would be best for me. One of the primary things I'm interested in is nature photography when I'm out on hikes.

    I spoke with someone I know into photography and he seemed to be pushing me towards full frame cameras. Given the prices for these cameras (I'm fine with used) it seems like I have to make a bit of a choice between older full frame and newer aps-c.

    After doing some research here are the cameras I am currently considering:

    Sony a7

    Sony a7R II

    Sony a6400 (or maybe a6500)

    Nikon D800

    Canon EOS 5D Mk III

    Canon M50 Mk II

    These are sort of organized by how interested in them I am. The pricing varies a bit for them, but with the cheaper ones I'd be able to get more lenses sooner and/or feel less bad about upgrading it in 2 years if I get really into it. So would the a7 or a7r be a good way to go to get a good balance of things or is something like a D800 still worth it today? Or is it just that worth it to have something like the a6400/6500 today to have newer features?
