Dihydrogen Monoxide, a toxic chemical part of most modern foods yet it causes cancer in almost everyone that consumes it regularly, yet no one brings it up.
ITT talk about more toxic chemicals in our food that we consume everyday.

>before, converting skin cells into neurons meant a messy detour through induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs). slow, inefficient (~1%), and cells often got stuck half-way, wasting weeks and resources.
>MIT's breakthrough bypasses the iPSC bottleneck entirely. they tweaked the conversion cocktail down to just 3 transcription factors (Ngn2, Isl1, Lhx3) plus two genes boosting proliferation, sending neuron yield to over 1000%.
>researchers engineered skin cells from mice using a single retrovirus to deliver these factors, ensuring precise expression levels in each cell. simpler method, fewer errors, massive efficiency.
>cells were pushed into hyperproliferation first, dramatically increasing their receptivity to the transcription factors. basically, MIT primed cells into a hyper-responsive state before flipping the neuron switch.
>hyperproliferation boosts conversion success by 4x. cells aren’t just more numerous, they’re also more receptive. conversion is faster (just two weeks), yielding morphologically mature motor neurons ready to be used
>the most impressive data point is that the yield jumped from below 1% with old methods to 1100% with this new cocktail. over ten neurons per single original skin cell.
>neurons implanted into mouse brains survived and integrated, showing electrical activity and calcium signaling.

Is it possible to alter the shape or prominence of your ears by pinning them back with something like a very tight pair of headphones?
I realized I already put pressure on my ears when I sleep on my sides but sleeping on my side doesn't hurt my ears and years ago I used to own a pair of headphones and a motorcycle helmet that did make my ears sore when I wore them and when I read the reviews on Amazon for them no one else seemed to have that problem and yes I was wearing them correctly. I didn't wear them often or for long periods of time but I was wondering if I got a really tight and strong set of some sort of headphones and wore them for a few hours a day for a couple months if it'd make a difference to how my ears look when I'm not wearing them

can you do an accurate simulation of the solar system using just math? how many thousands of years can you simulate using just numbers and still be accurate without correcting with real life observations? what starting info do you need? just weight, position, and speed of the sun, planet and satellites? or you need to add meteorites and debries to be accurate?
if you do it in a computer, do you need to special numbers or can you just use floats or doubles (checkem)?

Okay, suppose you create a universe with a single astronaut with a gun that holds a single bullet. For simplicity, let’s suppose that astronaut is locked in their position in said universe. The laws of gravity work the same in this universe as they do in ours, but we’ll also negate any added effects, such as dark energy. The universe has no boundary, or at least one that would allow this situation to enact in full.
If the astronaut were to fire the gun in any direction, how long would the bullet travel and for how long until the gravity of the astronaut causes it to reverse direction and eventually kill the astronaut? The astronaut will not die unless killed by the bullet.

If you can get the non contact voltage tester to cause a power outage, you can build the qubit.
To the conventions: a neurotransmitter theory was conventionally intended for interdisciplinary research not psychiatry. And psychiatry has misunderstood the timing of the dopamine receptor.
A circuit breaker is a safety device designed to protect an electrical circuit from damage caused by excess current, such as a short circuit or an overload. When too much current flows through a circuit, the circuit breaker trips (automatically switches off), cutting off power to prevent overheating, fires, or damage to the wiring and appliances connected to that circuit.
To the inventor:
A non-contact voltage tester doesn't directly cause a power outage but could trigger a circuit breaker if used near faulty wiring, a short circuit, or an overload, causing excessive current and tripping the breaker.
