Trying to parse the implications of this study. 2m (6.5 feet) above the patient sounds like it's airborne right? Maybe we shouldn't be sending potentially contagious patients to STI clinics like we currently are? [link] [comments] |
| If Mount Toba Didn't Cause Humanity's Genetic Bottleneck, What Did? Posted: 23 Jul 2022 01:48 PM PDT It seems as if the Toba Catastrophe Theory is on the way out. From my understanding of the theory itself, a genetic bottleneck that occurred ~75,000 years ago was linked to the Toba VEI-8 eruption. However, evidence showing that societies and cultures away from Southeast Asia continued to develop after the eruption, which has seemed to debunk the Toba Catastrophe Theory. However, that still doesn't explain the genetic bottleneck found in humans around this time. So, my question is, are there any theories out there that suggest what may have caused this bottleneck? Or has the bottleneck's validity itself been brought into question? [link] [comments] |
| Why does moisture make some surfaces more slippery and other surfaces less slippery? Posted: 23 Jul 2022 02:03 PM PDT For example, waterslides and smooth concrete get very slippery when wet, while very thin plastic bags are easier to open if your fingers are wet, and wet clothing is harder to remove than dry. *Edit: I appreciate the answers so far, but I think I gave too many examples. I'm most interested in understanding why a little bit of water on my finger tips makes it easier to open very thin plastic bags, and that hasnt been mentioned yet. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 23 Jul 2022 01:51 PM PDT Just curious. I know Spinosaurus and Carcharodontosaurus lived at the same time, but what about other periods in pre history? I want to know if there were ever any different large therapods competing with one another for food or territory etc. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 23 Jul 2022 08:04 AM PDT I see here (under section: Contraindications To and Precautions Associated with Vaccinations to Prevent Orthopoxvirus Infections) that receiving a COVID vaccine within 4 weeks of JYNNEOS vaccine is not recommended, as a precautionary measure since the risk of myocarditis from JYNNEOS is unknown. I noticed it was mentioned that it mentioned shortly after, regarding the opposite scenario (COVID vaccine then JYNNEOS) that "no minimum interval between mRNA COVID-19 vaccination and orthopoxvirus vaccination is necessary." The main question I have is, what mechanisms could be at play here that potentially increase the risk of myocarditis when receiving JYNNEOS then COVID vaccine, but NOT COVID vaccine then JYNNEOS?

| Posted: 23 Jul 2022 03:53 AM PDT Hi. I was learning about 120v home systems. I know ground wire is a wire that literally goes into the ground via spike or the water pipes for earth ground. It's there for safety. I know neutral is the return for the hot wire in 120v outlets in the USA. But in the USA, 120v is half of the 240v coming to the house. The other half is a grounding bus. Could someone explain it to me why we, USA homes need both, a neutral and a ground wire? I can't seem to google why both are needed... just that they are. And I thought I was a googlefu master. :( [link] [comments] |
| Do the spiciest plants produce it all naturally, or do they require some extra environmental help? Posted: 23 Jul 2022 01:00 AM PDT Thinking stuff like ghost pepper etc, I don't know proper names. It feels pretty extreme to know that there are peppers that are thousands(?) times spicier than others. Do they just devote that much resources into making capsaicin? Or is it also matter of something else? [link] [comments] |
