I didn't have time to read the article.
Question. Is there any researh that show negative health effects on humans with micro plastics in their stool?
My 8gig ram linux system runs out of ram and sometimes crashes when I run Android Studio. It refuses to use the default swap file on the ssd hard drive.I created a 16 gig swap file and set the swappiness value to 100. It only uses a few megabytes of the swapfile sometimes and still runs out of memory when I run Android Studio and then crashes. I ordered 16 gig ddr4 ram today and will remove the current swap file when the ram arrives. Seems like the only solution. I don't have time to burn another night reading up on this.

I am White and I use White emojis with pride. If that upsets anyone they can just deal with it.
I am in ny early 30s and working on post graduate research at night. I do it because it is interesting but also to be employable in a academic context later in my life.

If money was not part of the equation I would have loved to have studied history.

As a child I spent my afternoons with an air rifle in the African bush on my grandfather's farm. Good times. Now I spend 12+ hours a day in front of a computer.

Is/was there a natural predator in Australia to keep their numbers in balance?

I do not consider myself lucky to be engaged by people who do "quick Google" searches or cite Wikipedia as sources to base their arguments on.
No I have just found so many discrepancies on wiki through the years that I do not consider it a valid cite and many academics agree. Are you perhaps to lazy for more in depth research than picking the first hit on Google and forming your opinion based on that one source of information?
In academia we do not even consider the opinion of people who cite wikipedia as a basis for their argument.
Well I did more than a "quick Google" so I can understand that you are not sure.
Interesting how main stream science obsesses over Neanderthals but ignore Boskopoids. I suppose it does not fit in with the narrative being projected on humanity. Also worth mentioning Adam's calendar which was discovered in 2003 in South Africa and predates Stonehenge by 10s of thousands of years.

This is sad. They should come to Africa there is a lot of space here.
Where I live this is done based on race and it's not even a scandal, it's government policy.

It has been obvious for years now that Bitcoin will not replace Mastercard due to it's technical limitations.

Re:Arm kills off its anti-RISC-V site after own staff revolt on Wednesday July 11, 2018 @03:19AM (#17505030)
If ARM didn't attack RISC-V I would not even know about them. Going to read about them now.
"looking past the faddishness of cryptocurrencies". Bitcoin is an excellent proof of concept for blockchains but I sold mine some time ago because of the ethical issue I have with Bitcoin mining consuming so much power. Some of the newer coins are much more efficient in terms of consuming power. To refer to cryptocurrencies in general as a fad though is very naive and sounds more like central bank desperation.
How many tax credits do oil companies get? Why not do an article about that as well.
