@LiveAncestral In fact, ‘textbooks’ do talk about this. It’s part of many an understanding of Inuit diet — they consume the raw organs of arctic animals alongside whale blubber (muktuk) because both are high in Vitamins C and D.
Once again, no conspiracy.

@CalltoActivism @JohnCleese Yes.

@SashaGusevPosts @rtnarch That’s fantastic that it’s starting to become more affordable for some. Now, I wonder what it would look like if you graphed the trend out to say 1975?

@FarazJaka @WSOP Most logical bluff is Q10, but I’d say he has more made hands than bluffs here. So fold.

@rtnarch Or, you might also admit that as a member of the 0.01%, you simply don’t like his view of extreme wealth discrepancy in the US and how billionaires should pay more taxes.

[Tom @synaptic_firing]

@fnveenie @ivandemigoal Not worried.
Habs upgrades are Demidov, Slaf, Kapanen, Hutson, Dobes/Fowler all getting better as they mature and gain more experience. Compared to aging vets on other teams beginning to decline.
And Hughes is far from done likely.

[Tom @synaptic_firing]

@gohabs279 @mndamico Hard to be sad when we just locked up Demidov for the max extension at an incredibly team-friendly deal.

[Tom @synaptic_firing]

@_JordanDecker @habsburners Don’t know if I believe the rumors, but I’m not against it. Dobes may be at his peak value right now after an impressive playoff run and Fowler is still our 1G of the future (far better fundamentals). Not unlike the Halak-Price ‘controversy’ of 15 years ago.

[Tom @synaptic_firing]

@DRCanadiens Yeah, I mean c’mon! We could have had Henry Mews!!

[Tom @synaptic_firing]

@CanadasLeafs @bones9902 Sternberg ‘elite’ too without playing a single game at a pro level 🫣

[Tom @synaptic_firing]

@CanadasLeafs @bones9902 Elite vs non-Elite according to Mr. Dilmour

[Tom @synaptic_firing]

@CanadasLeafs There’s only 1 player on that list with more talent than either Demidov, Caufield, Suzuki, or Hutson. You’re kidding yourself.

I don't know WHY trump wants to try to compare himself to President Obama, because trump loses every time, but I'll play along...

[Tom @synaptic_firing]

@NHLlnsider67 He got $11 M for 7 years. He’s a winger. We need a 2C. This would have been a disastrous trade for the Habs.

[Tom @synaptic_firing]

@DRCanadiens 11 million for 7 years? No thanks.

We live in a post-truth era where what people want to believe matters more than what the evidence shows.

Take glyphosate. Vaccines. GMOs.

Decades of research, thousands of studies, and reviews by independent scientific bodies have produced an overwhelming body of evidence.

Yet for many people, a viral post, a documentary, or a compelling anecdote carries more weight than the science.

The greatest challenge facing science today isn’t a lack of evidence. It’s that evidence no longer changes minds.
