I heard on a podcast that it is somewhat common (more than 0.001% anyway) in developing countries for people to test positive for rabies antibodies even though they hadn't been treated for it. Implying that they had been exposed but somehow overcame it.

I thought it was radiolab but I can't find it now...

Hold up so I could have as much asbestos as I wanted if it weren't for my stupid immune system?

Incredible, the future is now

I don't think this is the astronomer talking, unless he forgot to log out of his personal account.

If that's true then most of the challenge was "wait until bad weather, pause, move gates up/down. wait until good weather, pause, move gates down/up" which is not much of a challenge. I think that's fine since they also prevent stupid mistakes where you miss one gate but don't notice until well after.

Most misleading headline ever, wow

Yeah I was just wondering, how does he even see the sun rise with the way his vision works? Maybe the sun just comes into his range of vision instead of rising above the horizon?

Estimated 25% of people have it in the US. And unless you also have some other hyper mobility disorder, it just feels like normal thumb movement.

Lmao a $100 amazon brand electric jacket? It will get you very warm, but only once.

I personally like them for really long rides. On a flat bar my hands go numb and there are only so many different ways you can hold a flat bar. Properly fitted drop bars at least give you more options to switch up your grip and posture.

Can they get uncomfortable? Sure, but any position is uncomfortable if you hold it long enough.

Weird, I've been using -noai and it seems to work.

It's ironic in this case because the dog is the speaker. We could reasonably assume that he is talking to female dogs. So "bitch" would not even be a curse word here, just the word for female dogs.
