@rachelanne2017@ArchysLife but could you not say that the root of the cause is oxygen? while it’s technically just the unpaired electrons doing the damage, oxygen is fundamental to the generation of every radical that i know of
@BadTakesPhD@burnerDevAcct@ArchysLife also, to be pedantic, UV doesn’t actually break down the DNA. It just generates dimers and our body messes up the repair sometimes
@Dom_Delecto@ArchysLife too much iron increases the amount of hydroxyl radical produced, which readily reacts with all kinds of shit and forms other radicals. so oxygen is still involved
@ArchysLife it’s probably a combination of a lot of things; oxidative stress, lof mutations, telomere shortening, mechanical stress, metabolic changes, etc
USA women's hockey gold medalist @HilaryKnight describes her team's relationship with the USA men's team as one with a "genuine level of support and respect" that's being overshadowed by a "quick lapse."
"Our achievements shouldn't be overshadowed by anything else other than how great they are."
@KoekkoekCagiula@RyanHanaWWP their worst players are hovering a ppg (jarvis is a bit under and marchand is a bit over). man they’re terrible!!
again i don’t know why you’re so hellbent at downplaying an olympic gold, you must be super fun at parties.
@KoekkoekCagiula@RyanHanaWWP Each of those teams were great and have plenty of big names, but this team canada’s forward group was insane from top to bottom, the same can’t be said about the teams you listed. Brad Marchand was their weakest link tonight and he’s a big piece of any team he’s on
@KoekkoekCagiula@RyanHanaWWP frauds? yes the canadians dominated the 2nd and 3rd period, but acting like they were exposed after beating the best forward group ever assembled, killing a 5 on 3, and grinding through a tough game where their big guns didn’t show up… is a crazy take
