That went right over my head. I figured zog was a typo lol. Thanks!

I’d never heard of this. People are crazy lol

I’m naive. What’s the whistle there?

It’s a common general education requirement for college in the US, yeah. Biology, physics, psychology, economics, English/writing, math, etc. are often all required, or at least a selection of most of the discipline-intro-level courses is.

No? They merely state that their results are consistent with one of Poore and Nemecek’s findings. The methods, article scope, and more differ.

I’m not going to defend the article further. If you all want to believe a website over a scientific publication, feel free.

It’s a Nature article; there’s no better source for information. Not sure where you’re getting the 2/3s idea or meat idea from that article–it does not use such language.

Your graphic uses the same larger type of metric of greenhouse gases as does the Nature article. If you click on the greenhouse gas equivalents bit in the header where the figure came from, it makes that clear:

Carbon dioxide is the most important greenhouse gas, but not the only one. To capture all greenhouse gas emissions, researchers express them in “carbon dioxide equivalents” (CO₂eq). This takes all greenhouse gases into account, not just CO₂.

You’re not wrong about meat not comprising two-thirds of any person’s total GHG emissions, and I’ve never suggested otherwise. I just wanted to provide a better source of information than that graphic.

I know how to: .71 * 18 = 12.78 Gt, which is more than double what your graph ascribes to agriculture.

Also, there’s no need to be rude, even if I had been wrong.

That graph is wrong/misleading:

We here on Lemmy struggle with understanding sarcasm sometimes.

It was the best of times, I was just thinking about it but I don’t know if you want to go to the store or something else

Any NIH-funded research must be made open access one year after its publication date. NIH publishes the accepted manuscript in PubMed at the one-year mark. Unlike NIH, (last I checked) NSF doesn’t strictly require it, but you won’t be getting NSF funding unless you say you’re going to make the resulting papers freely available somehow (e.g., preprints, paying for open access, etc.). Not sure about DOE/DOD/etc. funded-articles.

The majority of federally funded research in the US is made open access. You might not realize it because news outlets typically report on brand-new articles, which haven’t hit the one-year mark for open access yet.

Microsoft Word, LibreOffice, etc. will convert a double hyphen into an em dash. That’s how I’ve always typed mine out within papers.

Blue light is important for night vision, so either of those options would lead to less of an ability to see well after sunset.

No, glia support neurons; they do things like redirecting blood flow to more-active-than-usual neurons, mylenate axons, etc. They wouldn’t form a mesh around neurons’ photoreceptors the same way they do neurons’ somas and axons. What the article describes is that glia actually are critical at allowing for color vision during the day and night vision at night, since on land we’d get too much blue light to see color with much fidelity were it not for glia, and a similar filtration process helps us see at night. It’s not that it’s not as bad as it could be, it’s actually that vision is better this way (barring one small blind spot outside of our fovea–which, being outside of the fovea, would have low acuity anyways).

This arrangement actually optimizes color vision in the daytime and night vision at night. Evolution selected for the correct arrangement for those of us living on land:

What if we 👉@👈 …? 🤭

Thank you!

I didn’t struggle with any of it when I went through it, I just have subsequently found that I didn’t retain many of the rules. The derivative’s power rule is about the only rule I don’t have to look up these days. I’d like an online resource that has a bunch of practice exercises to help drill that stuff into me.

Can you link me some? I’d honestly really appreciate it. I’ve used Khan academy but it was too sparse on exercises

Edit: spelling
