In later trials, drugs aren’t compared against placebo, but a standard therapy regimen.

Because the PRC has set this as a red line. The Taiwanese would do it in a heartbeat.

He isn’t suing because of the amenities, but because he is being socially isolated. It’s not about the quality of his cell at all.

Happy to inform you it’s actually a trilby, pleb.

The worst thing about Lemmy is it perfectly nercomanced 2010 reddit’s skin-deep atheism back to life.

I don’t see it either.

Collectively know as the four humors.

Are you shore?

Clearly nuclear is the future!

Every major country that has ever gone down the communist road has ended up a dictatorship.

Up until not too long ago, every democracy relied on slavery, disenfranchised large parts of the population, and eventually ended up a dictatorship. If you asked someone in like 1810 whether democracy could work, it'd be completely understandable if they pointed out all the horrible aspects of Greek and Roman "democracy", American planations, colonialism and the Reign of Terror, and if they assumed all of these to be inherent to democracy.

"Sure, the king isn't perfect, but he's surely better than Robespierre (who was inevitably succeded by Napoleon). And besides, great thinkers like Plato argued for a philosopher king – and that guy lived in a democracy, who would know better about all of it's evils?"

Yes, communism has failed in many respects so far.* The reasons for that are complex, include active sabotage by anti-communist states, but anyone who doesn't genuinely and critically reflect it's failures is (probably) doomed to repeat those mistakes.

Assuming those are inherent and inevitable based on less than a hundred years of history is imho short sighted.

*Some very early societies were probably kinda close to what we conceptualise as communism™ today, but applying the term is anachronistic.

Tipping has been prevalent in many Europeam countries for decades, though the amount is usually less than in the US.

For anyone in dark mode: This image has a transparent background, it's much more clear on a white(-ish) background.

I know you're making a joke, but this really is a (ihmo very interesting) mess:

In this case this is just multiple single points of failure though, at least for the larger ones.

If you lose one of the big red ones in the middle (common carotid arteries) you'll have a major stroke killing essentially three quarters of one of your hemispheres.

There's another pair in the spine (vertebral arteries, not visible) which supply the posterior and lower parts of your brain, but they're also not redundant. Also sometimes, one's doing basically all of the heavy lifting, and sometimes the other one doesn't exist at all.

Also this is a simplification and many many variations exist.

It's a thing.

The pressure is applied to the center of the chest, because that's where the heart is, in both situs inversus and the typical layout.

Usually, the heart occupies more space on the left than on the right, but it's more central than many people think.

And moreover, there is a debatable gain or quality when you are on mobile with mobile gears/earphones.

The gain of quality is debatable in even the best of circumstances.

Luckily you can easily run a blind test yourself.

Maybe we shouldn't speculate about things we have essentially zero information on.

You're thinking of the West Bank.

Twitter didn't make money though.
