Most people think that scientists don't get emotional. "Star Trek" and the mostly dispassionate Spock may be why they believe a science officer does not have feelings.

In an April 2020 email discovered by Buzzfeed as part of a Freedom Of Information Act request, EcoHealth Alliance head Peter Daszak thanked Dr. Anthony Fauci for dismissing concern that SARS-CoV-2, which erupted in 2019, could have come 'from a lab.'

A lab like the Wuhan Institute of Virology, the world's largest coronavirus lab, which Daszak gave $3.4 million in US taxpayer funding to, in order for them to study bat coronaviruses. The 'thank you' was while the lab was removing its database of 16,000 bat coronavirus samples that the US helped pay to create and while denying the World Health Organisation permission to visit.

Georgia would like to get COVID-19 vaccine up to herd immunity levels sooner rather than later but there are obstacles; among the less educated, they may be a little nervous because prior to 2020 FDA and CDC acted like all pharmaceutical companies were spawns of Lucifer, so suddenly being told they are saving the world causes cognitive dissonance. Some journalists and social media pundits who can't get out of their own way will try to find a way to blame Republicans.

But among wealthy educated people the problem may be chiropractors.

Going to a chiropractor is mostly for the rich, who can augment real medicine with supplements, organic food, and getting a 'spinal adjustment' even if it's not covered by health insurance plans.  

Stephan Richter, Hassan Abu AlHaija, and Vladlen Koltun of Intel Labs have written a paper outlining their new G-buffer encoder which takes photorealism to a whole new level.

It's May 4th, which in 2011 became a Star Wars celebration Day - a play on the first-religious-then-biological "may the force be with you" from the films. 

"May the fourth be with you" had nothing to do with "Star Wars" initially, though obviously the hit phenomenon inspired it. It was used as congratulations to new UK Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, who took office on that day in 1979. Then it showed up in a 1988 episode of "Count Duckula" (The Vampire Strikes Back) spoofing the movies. Toronto had the first real celebration of it in 2011 and it took off from there.

A recent Deloitte survey found that the already moribund film industry has even more reason to worry; young people don't care.

You may not realize it, but video games are already 10X the revenue of films and 3X music.

And among Generation Z, only 10 percent want to watch a TV show or a film. Compare that to 26 percent who want to play a video game. In between are 14 percent who listen to music, 12 percent wander around the internet and 11 percent spend their time on social media. Among those born between 1983-1996 (nee millennials) Movies and TV still rule.

The instructional website OMGYES asked over 3,000 US women ages 18 to 93 how they increase their pleasure during sex. This meant vaginal penetration.

Four techniques emerged:

Angling - 90% said they rotate, raise or lower their pelvis and hips during to adjust how penetration occurs.

Shallowing - 84% of women said they increase using “shallowing,” a penetrative touch.

Rocking - 76% of said they increase their own pleasure through “rocking”, which rubs against the clitoris during penetration.

Pairing - 70% use “pairing”, manual stimulation during penetration.

Alkaline water is just nonsense but anyone still buying it knows all of the science debunking and buys it anyway, so let's not berate rich dumb people any more than needed.

While they are getting no benefit, what “Real Water” brand alkaline water customers do obtain is acute non-viral hepatitis, according to the the FDA, CDC and the Southern Nevada Health District.

Dogs have keen olfactory sensory neurons, receptor proteins great for differentiating smells humans never notice. One reason is basic biology; they breathe and smell separately. Electronic sniffers mimic many of the same processes dogs have - and require far less specialized training.

So which is better? The Reactions team at the American Chemical Society wanted to get the latest.
