Thanks but that was pretty much the last straw on Amazon in my life so I hope to never use this information. 😜

You were lucky enough to find the chatbot. I had this happen when I could not find any way at all to reach someone about this problem. Ended up eating the charge f*** Amazon

They are backwards. Sorry, couldn’t not see it.

I didn’t see this one yet…

Weezer

Opens Reddit.

I culture cells for a living. Not that these are the only ways, but the most common and effective ways to grow cells in the lab is to add either FBS (fetal bovine serum) or BSA (bovine serum albumin) to the culture media. Currently we don’t mass produce BSA in an animal free manner and FBS is by nature an animal product. Granted, that the products of one animal may in fact allow manufacturers produce more than enough ‘animal-free meat’ to overcome this but I haven’t seen any numbers. I’m interested in hearing more about these techniques going forward and in determining if animal-free products can really be produced animal free.

Bwahahaha. Sure take the one thing every American doctor or medical associate, every patient and worker hates. That a great idea /s

Wouldn’t it be great if the US started relocating it’s military bases to other states? I’m sure NM, MI or CA would be happy to have them.

In other news, water is wet, grass is green and your government is not ‘for the people’

Found it, real paper, wrong journal. Horrible article by Newsweek. https://microbiomejournal.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s40168-023-01599-7

This feels oddly fake. No journal of that name, nothing on INRAE (the research institute claimed to have published this). AI generated news? I wouldn’t doubt it. I know that Chat-GPT is very good at making fake scientific summaries (complete with fake references using real names in the field) why not fake science news? Also, the vaccine is for the tick… Not for us to use against the tick. For the tick…

Love it. Keep going.

I would try this and say “I’m about to die” by accident and then spend five minutes explaining the mistake and five days thinking about it. No thanks,.

I really liked the call back to Breaking Bad when he’s like: " Say my name! Say it! Say it! Damn right I’m Oppenheimer"

Yeah great. But where is this place?

I begrudgingly bestow this upvote Dad.

Reddit might go on for a number of years. Maybe with a continually decreasing amount of users, engagement and value, but until the fediverse is able to accumulate the knowledge base contained on Reddit, it will still be my primary knowledge base. I cannot wait for the day when I can scrub ’ Site : reddit.com’ from my Google search bar. Edit:spelling errors

They don’t even do that at my workplace anymore:(

Not just Linux, I do this all the time when ‘writing’ R or Python scripts for work. Then I spend the next 2 hours debugging a missing comma.
