The fact that you dont even understand how VARES works, why it isnt and cant be used the way you are using it, or even why this argument is loony bin territory at all is very telling.
I have discussed VARES many many times before and everyone who tries to argue this has been completely clueless... little quips arent going to make you look like you have a clue.

@otso Thanks, but I get my medical information from peer-reviewed studies performed by professionals in their field, not from internet video personalities.
Go back to watching your Dr. Phil reruns.
A very interesting article on the development of a protein nanopore approach for the characterisation of glycosaminoglycans #GlycoTime https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-022-32800-4

Exclusive footage from #Bakhmut. In collaboration with @guillaume_ptak@twitter.com, a correspondent for French newspaper Les Echos who went to the front and visited @SkalaBattalion@twitter.com. Their job is to identify and directly target Russian positions as well correct artillery fire.

Thought Brexiteers promised lower UK prices. Utterly outrageous UK rip off if this extraordinary chart is correct.
RT @colchlondoner: Average energy prices
£2,585 - UK
€650 - France
€650 - Belgium
€620 - Spain
€558 - Germany
€558 - Denmark
€546 - Holland
€545 - Austria
€543 - Norway
€476 - Finland
€174 - Poland
We pay 5x more as the Conservative party refuse to tax excess energy profits.

@cyrilpedia The marketplace would work fine, the problem is it is no longer capitalist and innovative, but oligarchic and sclerotic due to mergers

In other news, Australia's Lord Mayor of Melbourne is frustrated that QR codes placed around the city to report graffiti have been vandalized by overlaid alternate QR codes leading to a hip hop culture documentary on YouTube. Oops!

If you're excited that things are entering the #PublicDomain — which you should be! — perhaps it's worth considering reforming copyright.
In many places currently it's 70 years after the death of the author, or longer. This is insanity.
An important piece of culture made by a young author could be locked behind copyright (with rights usually held by publishers, not authors themselves anyway) for over a *century*.
That's how you get #Disney to own almost everything.
Reform #copyright!

Why do we support #Ukraine 🇺🇦?
Because only they know what my people went through.
And then only they gave us a helping hand.
This is a story of war in Abkhazeti.
This is a story of #Georgia|ns, with their Ukrainian brothers!

A fascinating article and I wonder if this is at the root of the appeal of fascist narratives that lead to Brexit and Trump, despite the ample evidence that both were driven by the swamp itself?

Yesterday, better footage of the incendiary ammunition used by Russian forces on Kherson. The amount wounded has risen tot 55. There are different stories about the number of deaths but it is somewhere between 10-20. All as a results of the shelling in the city center.

Russian media report that the life of Oleksandr Buzakov, general director of the Admiralty Shipyards, a company that built submarines that were carriers of Kalibr cruise missiles, "had a premature and tragic end" in St. Petersburg.

I went in 2017. So many things stood out, seared into my memory. When I watch things about it now there’s an entirely different sense of scale. Hearing numbers can be hard to process. Seeing the physical space, and knowing (somewhat) how crowded it was is different. The piles of gas canisters haunt me, as do the heaps of personal belongings. What was maybe most strange to me tho, or jarring I suppose, was that the area surrounding it was beautiful. I was there around dusk and the trees in the distance were so pretty, and that felt so wrong. I was surrounded by the remnants of one of the most depraved sites in human history, and there was still beauty in nature. To go from the basement in Auschwitz where unspeakable things happened, where I was afraid to be even when I knew I was perfectly safe, to seeing the sun starting to set at Birkenau just an hour or so later left me with a feeling I don’t know I’ll ever actually find words for. It somehow reminded me of the resistance and resilience of the people who ended up there. There were obviously more horrifying things, moments that made my stomach churn, but that feeling of watching the sunset has stuck with me in an uncanny way.
