Comment Proposed mechanism please (Score 1) 42

Effective nightmare treatment options are currently limited and require more medical research, the report adds.

Correlation is not enough, we need a proposed mechanism before we worry too much about "nightmare treatments".

How exactly do nightmares shorten life - if they even do? Or are they merely correlated with some confounding variable not identified yet?

Comment Re:So, about 1 grocery banana display (Score 2, Funny) 75

If the wasp nest is about 10x10cm, that would be 100,000 disintegrations/minute = 45 nanocuries, or about the same as 100 bananas (~0.5 nanocuries/banana). Which is about what was on the shelf at my grocery store when I bought bananas yesterday.

But ... but ... how can I get panic and outrage out of that???

... or at any rate, a platform for such.

Trying to ban it or whatever seems pretty useless, but it's silly to deny that it functions as social media.

I mean it's literally in the name, "You" post videos, others watch them, comment on them, react to them, share them, etc.

No, you don't have to use it that way, but you can, and it's built into every corner of the service.
