Possibly untrue science news

I’m normally a mild proponent of pre-prints but this pandemic has been rough on that stance.

I liked that the comic had “raises questions” immediately before “prepared by a professional”. Because, yeah, sometimes it is legit, but you still need to consider the context.

The shots fired at Adobe are icing on the cake, of course. :wink:

So I guess a “brown dwarf” would look like that in visible light?

Maybe, but without the banding I suppose.

I like PDFs. But then again, I like it when complex formatting is preserved.

So pubmed has introduced a new interface. It’s not accessible. It’s got a position:fixed feedback button which (a) hurts because it’s bright and doesn’t scroll with the rest of the page and (b) hurts if I try to send feedback, and type in a description, because it painimates a list of related items. And if I try to narrow a search it flashes and animates as it reloads.

One person who does take 5GBioShield claims seriously is Toby Hall, one of the members of the Glastonbury Town Council’s 5G Advisory Committee. Hall told the BBC that he “felt a ‘calmer’ feel to the home” when using 5GBioShield. Hall said “he had no regrets about buying it and since plugging it in had felt beneficial effects, including being able to sleep through the night and having more dreams,” the BBC wrote.

Hall also “thought the company might be able to develop a system that could offer protection to the whole town of Glastonbury against the effects of radiation from electromagnetic fields,” according to the BBC.

I’d be happy to sell this guy fully comparable technology for half price! :man_facepalming:
