That blood is actually blue until it gets in contact with air
I remember my science teacher in seventh grade singing this and just being very confused because my mother who was a nurse said it was just a dark red.
Easy to proof: Vaccumated capsule to draw blood.
No contact with air and still red.
Trickle down economics are an effective way to redistribute wealth
Did we conclude that, I thought its still heavily debated.
Some argue in the 50s and 60s the US was spending Europe’s gold to build highways and infrastructure, gifting Americans the wealth with a continuation of the new deal, they then defaulted in 1971 as inflation eroded foreign debt owed.
Some feel some form of debt accrual is how we derive such a consumption focused standard of living, which is misallocated capital that ends in someone holding the bag when it can’t realistically be paid back, or when population doesn’t grow fast enough like in Japan or most of the developed countries.
There is no such thing called umami.
Well there is, its just not a flavor like salty, its a way of taste from what i learned. Idk how to discribe it myself
You can describe it as umami
Haven’t seen anybody post this but how gender and sexuality is, schools are so fucking about straight mom and dad only relationship and nothing else. Man and wife bullshit when there’s infinite amounts of gender and sexuality and diversity out there. Fuck I hate Amerikkka
I am from germany. Sex ed is not just manditory but also part of normal lessons all two years. The body, genetics, sex itself and how a baby is made and how protection and STDs work and which are there next to condom and pill
Funnily enought i wasnt present the whole male sex ed part so idk if they talked about queernes. Being in a psychiatric hospital they only had german, math, english, classes so litterly only the essentials
can you be more specific
What do you want more? This is pretty specific, what was taught to them about gender and sexuality, in particular that gender only exists in two forms, and no mention outside of heterosexuality. Pretty sure we all had a similar experience in school about these subjects
There are 10 Commandments.
No - there’s 14.
And most of them also have sub-commandments, just to confuse it further.
613 mitzvot! ± a couple hundred, depending on whether you’re a Kohen, live in Israel, if the Temple has been rebuilt, or are the first-century sage Hillel (in which case there’s one mitzvah and 612 articles of commentary.)
Here’s video evidence from a documentary I watched abouy what happened and why they ended up with 10.
The moon was spun out of the same stuff as the earth. That was fact in the early years of my education. A few years later there were multiple theories: co development, captured a wandering planetoid, the Thea impact, and a fourth one I can’t remember but I think it was something dumb like planetary mitosis. By the time I graduated the Thea impact was considered the only viable theory.
Stomach ulcers are caused by stress. Nope.
Alcoholism runs in families. Nope.
Heart disease runs in families. Nope.
Dont know about the first two, but heart disease do. heart stroke happened to my mother and both her parents, her dad died from it. My fathers dad died of brain store and doctors say he heart is also weaken(mostly from smoking 30+ years)
That’s like saying black lung runs in families because your family all worked in the mines.
I dont follow, if you are talking about lifestyle choices there is really inst any similarity, neither in weight, eating habits or work or living conditions .My grandma and grandpa lived in a village until there 40s. Also heart disease is not the only genetic disease in the family. Both my mom and her mom had ovary cancer.Diabetes runs in the family both type 1 and type ,both sets of grandparents and both there siblings and parents,both sets of aunts and uncles, me and my sisters plus alot other relatives. My grandma(father’s side) had bipolar, so does my uncle so does my sister and all of this is just counting genetic disease and not everything else like baldness(both me and my uncle started at 16), i have a single string of blonde hair growing in exactly the middle of my forehead and so does my aunt’s daughter(our moms are twins) and we both have a baby tooth that steal didnt follow at our 20s with the adult one growing behind them
plus we aren’t from America.
The question wasn’t wether there are inheritable health issues, diabetes, some cancer, etc are demonstrated to have a heredity component. I’m not even arguing that heart disease ‘isn’t’ hereditary, I’m just saying that in the context the argument, you saying that several of your family members had it doesn’t prove that specific thing is inherited. Everyone does of something and the fact that you can find 3 to 5 people in your lineage that died of that does point to it being inherited.
he fact that you can find 3 to 5 people in your lineage that died of that does point to it being inherited
It does though? like it doesn’t have to be 100% beyond a shadow of a doubt genetic like say type 1 diabetes, and with everything else it most likely is
are demonstrated to have a heredity component
I am of the believe that most health issues are genetic, be it mutation or hereditary. I haven’t looked into it much but from experience ppl tend to believe most diabetes are caused by being overweight(or general life style) and that’s no the case in my experience. I feel believing its life style choices hurts ppl more in the long run than it helps(the number of arguments i got with non-diabetes ppl about my own diabetes for example)
But also like what does this have to do with anything?
Heart disease runs in families. Nope.
the OG commenter said it doesn’t runs in families and we both agree it can, why does it matter whether it runs specifically in my family or not. People with health issues know about their own medical history, when someone tells you heart disease run in the family, take them at their word(plus they probably talked to doctors and what not)
It only ‘matters’ to the extent that OP claimed it doesn’t run in families, and you seemed to be claiming it does ‘because’ you had 3 -5 relatives that died from it. All I’m saying it’s that anecdotal evidence doesn’t refute an assertion like that.
If you’d said ‘it does run in families and here is a statistically significant sampling across variable x, y and z’ i wouldn’t be arguing, I’d likely be reading an article about it. But it’s worth pointing out when people use unscientific reasoning in a forum where other people might be influenced by an argument if no one calls out the fault in logic.
For two and three, even if there weren’t a genetic component, the lifestyle and dietary habits of a family absolutely do impact the next generation of the family. Learned behaviors that increase the risk of alcoholism or heart disease absolutely count as “runs in the family”. Further, “runs in the family” never meant “everyone in the family absolutely has it”.
(None of this directed to the comment I’m replying to, just continuing the thought of the comment.)
Some children are taught in school that God created the earth. Some of us were allowed to learn that humans cannot effect climate change, allowed to discuss it openly, and allowed to graduate with that idea without ever being corrected. Children are being taught today that slavery and colonialism were good things for some people.
My sysadmin professor told me to not learn about tape backups because they are going away soon
Like 3 years later ransomware was invented
Idk you can only ‘learn’ them if you have one and even the shittiest tape drive I could find as a consumer doesn’t help me at all with a tape library. We have our tape admin (=our architect) who we thank god every day for because we didn’t have to bother with it. Now he’s retiring this year… F
We had one in the lab though and just ignored it
tape backups are definitely still a thing. it’s one of the cheapest ways to store a shitload of data for a long time
I spend a portion every day removing tapes, shipping them offsite and inserting new tapes
Annoying but must be done
can i have a job at your place
No but look into datacenter night shift work. Where i am nobody wants that shift. Working in a datacenter is pretty fun
interesting. what sort of resumes are you looking for in a data center? security clearances? i have a devops resume, AWS, Linux etc.
Pretty much that but also ability to use tools and basic knowledge of air conditioning etc
how do I find a data center role in particular? normally i am searching “Linux” to get devops roles.
holy crap a sysadmin class? that is wild, son. i must be an old man
I went to a trades school which offered IT computer systems as a 2 year diploma. Fast track to a job back in the early 2010s. That path would never get you into IT today lol
The specific class I mentioned was windows system administration
I had a substitute teacher who saw the Swift Boat Veterans For Truth ads against John Kerry and repeated it to the class like it was 100% fact.

Trickle down economics (well, it’s not like there was a time when it was true)
That tastes have specific regions on the tongue. We actually had to protest when that shit was taught at our son’s elementary school. Don’t know if it came up for our younger daughter.
Poor kids at school had old atlases where Germany was still separated. But I guess that’s just obsolete and not false knowledge.
There’s a weird thing here. I totally accept that the traditional tongue map is pseudoscience and debunked, but if you’re paying attention to something like wine or good chocolate, letting it spread across your whole tongue really does seem change the flavor and bring new aspects to what you’re tasting.
My subjective impression is that there is some effect to exposing the whole tongue to a stimulus, and I’d really like to understand it more - but when you search the web, you pretty much just get deconstructive articles about the old model, and not much about what might actually be happening.
Yeah, I remember that one. We even did an experiment to “prove” it. I was like, “I kinda taste it everywhere”. I don’t remember what the punishment for that one was exactly, but it was pretty severe, and I didn’t do anything wrong.
I remember getting detention on first grade for telling my classmate that a whale had beached here in finland. It happened, it was on the news. Same thing again after I told my classmate about some asteroid that is going to kill us all. On 6th grade the whole class was given detention for not having music books with us because the teachers had decided to change the schedule that morning.
Yeah, a lot of people seem to become teachers because they like being in a room full of people who won’t question them.
That particular teacher in the story was also let go at the end of the year, though, related to her treatment of students. It was kind of dramatic.
“You need to learn this because you won’t always have a calculator on you!”
That wasn’t so much a “fact” told in school as it was a prediction, and it was true for them. Some people carried pocket calculators, but most people didn’t. Some supermarkets has calculators built into their carts, but most didn’t.
Failing to predict society’s norms in 20 years isn’t the same as teaching a false fact.
Some supermarkets has calculators built into their carts
wat
Tiny photocell powered calculators used to be everywhere. There were “thin” ones to fit in your Costanza sized wallet, Mousepads with them built in, and my wristwatch in 6th grade had one with tiny rubber keys.
It was a magical time till be alive. 5318008
Yep, back in the 90s they were in some places. My local supermarket had one like this, except without the annoying ad on the left side.
The same was told to me even as everybody already had mobile phones with calculators in them or even iPhones
I feel have super power by being to calculate accurate tips without needing to crack out my phone.
Basic mathematical literacy is a prerequisite to being able to use a calculator.
- that Pluto is a planet
PLUTO IS A PLANET!
I thought it was Mickey Mouse’s dog 🤔!
IT’S BOTH AT THE SAME TIME
What? As in Schrödinger’s cat? Interesting!
Why does a mouse own a dog? And how come the mouse is also friends with another dog? What’s going on there?
Ok Jerry.
This was my first thought as well!
Pluto is a great test for what types of person someone is.
If someone says Pluto is still a planet. They have a personality where they are immovable and can’t accept scientific change.
If they do say pluto is a new kind of dwarf planet they arw more accepting of new information and belive in the scientific method.
It’s a great quick test when meeting news people.
So presumably NASA is anti-science ?
Because they have redetermined that Pluto is a planet.
I recently heard that they discovered hundreds of Pluto sizes “planets” beyond Pluto, so they had to decided do we add 100 more planets or just demote Pluto to planetoid and ignore the rest
Eris? Didn’t Sephiroth kill her?
Well, Pluto being reclassified as a dwarf planet doesn’t really have anything to do with the scientific method. “Planet” is a manmade concept, we just changed the definition for that classification to avoid having to add the dozens of bodies we discovered since Pluto that would have also met the old definition.
Eh, it’s more like our definition of what a planet is changed. I still think of Pluto as a planet.
It’s a planette

We congratulate drugs for winning the war on drugs.
I’m addicted to dopamine, and I’ll take any drug I can to get more of it.
