i am waiting for a kid’s bday party to be over and i’m supposed to be doing my taxes and other electronic errands but instead

email starting, "The U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF) has undertaken a review of its award portfolio. Each award was carefully and individually reviewed, and the agency has determined that termination of certain awards is necessary because they are not in alignment with current NSF priorites."

yesterday, my postdoc funding (salary and research funds) was cancelled by the National Science Foundation, effective immediately. I received the same generic, vaguely threatening, typo-ridden email as many of my colleagues who have had their awards terminated recently. (1/n)

Ja das finde ich auch, aber ich würde es nicht als etwas gänzlich drittes bezeichnen

Bin ich dumm oder ist ein bag of heuristic nicht in etwa ein stochastic parrot?

The Pros and Cons of Caffeine Caffeine can give a boost of energy and acutely improve performance, but concerns about potential downsides (such as sleep disruption or heart issues) are common. This article discusses both the pros ...

Something like this:

Maybe? If I remember correctly SBS dug out research saying it‘s inconclusive but their take was it‘s primarily due to more Non-exercise activity thermogenesis (NEAT) from the caffeine. But that is just speculation

a post reading “I don’t think you should give kids phones or iPads but you should give them free access to a desktop computer” with a quote post adding “ipads have no soul but desktop computer is like a nervous horse and has the capacity for love”

As far as I’ve read it’s not, but it inhibits your gut from absorbing micro nutrients so maybe that’s related.

> Put simply, a significant share of the US’s “booming” economy is generated by sickness. Inefficiencies in its healthcare system may also prop up US GDP by sustaining high levels of costly healthcare-related expenditure.

> As for employment, more than 40 per cent of new private sector jobs created since the start of 2023 have been in healthcare. The biggest US industries by revenue include hospitals, drug wholesalers and medical insurers.

> Yet the country has among the worst health outcomes. Americans are more likely to die younger, have multiple chronic conditions, and die from a preventable or treatable malady, relative to citizens in other rich nations.

> Close to a fifth of US GDP comes from health expenditure. That is well above other OECD nations (in per capita terms too). Yet the country has among the worst health outcomes.

A graph mapping Life expectancy at birth to health spending as percent of GDP of various countries. The obvious outlier is the US with insanely high spending (17-18% of GDP) and lowest life expectancy at just below 78 years.

This chart is so crazy I can't even.

^ objectively fine not meaning I agree with it, but in the sense that they cover all the things „center right“ people complain about already

Conservatives allied with the Nazis and liberals to tighten border laws that were objectively fine. The previous laws were already not enforced because of understaffed customs and police. And who is responsible for the lack of money? Conservatives and liberals

Du hast total Recht, die Klasse an Männern (sic) war damals nicht besser. Ich denke es ist ein Mix aus früher kam man leichter mit Lügen durch weil langsamere und weniger Informationen und dieser Überfluss an Informationen sorgt dafür, dass Wahrheit unwesentlich wird. „Lügen ja eh alle“
