Where are you finding these OPzS cells?

Most likely, those are just aesthetics and are more like large hubcaps over a round tire.

You say that, yet there are also some scammers who use chargeback on airbnb to not pay: https://old.reddit.com/r/AirBnB/comments/5q1css/planning_on_...
evandev··on Most U.S. Dairy Cows Are Descended From Just Two Bulls
I consider it to be practical, enjoyable, and yes non-scalable. But I would also consider the world going vegetarian as not realistic, and just like some people go vegetarian to reduce their carbon footprint, I'm going to hunt to reduce mine.
evandev··on Most U.S. Dairy Cows Are Descended From Just Two Bulls
That's the main reason why I became a Hunter. It's in my opinion the most ethical, sustainable source of food for the small scale of my family.

Sure, it isn't scalable to many people, but I'd argue non-factory farms also isn't scalable.

evandev··on Are Saskatraz bees an answer to colony collapse?
This article is just a PR piece not for the type of bees, but this individual's blog. The research behind the bee is very sound in terms of varroa resistance.
evandev··on Are Saskatraz bees an answer to colony collapse?
I highly recommend the project report of the Saskatraz honeybee project rather than this individual's observations: http://www.saskatraz.com/pages/review.htm

I highly recommend reading the Saskatraz bee project report which has a lot more information and research on the bees:

evandev··on Are Saskatraz bees an answer to colony collapse?
As per the article:

> Infestation of varroa mites and tracheal mites have resulted in the declining health and death of many honey bee colonies. It is also considered to be a factor in the increase of colony collapse disorder that’s plaguing many areas of the world.

evandev··on Are Saskatraz bees an answer to colony collapse?
With the large scale agriculture in America that native bees aren't well adapted for, we do need honeybees to pollinate the various plants. Especially if we want to reduce our consumption of beef and other animal products.
evandev··on Time to Get Serious about Tick-Borne Diseases
There is no case of a human contracting CWD. While CWD can be an issue for the local deer population, it is not something to be worried about. Avoid eating brains, spinal cords, and lymph nodes of deer as a precaution.
evandev··on Time to Get Serious about Tick-Borne Diseases
I would presume, you had ticks from a previous encounter as well. In order to get Lyme, you typically need to have a tick embedded for > 24 hours (meaning a really low probability otherwise). And Bullseye rashes don't occur until a few days after the infection of the bacteria.
evandev··on Time to Get Serious about Tick-Borne Diseases
Note that this is most likely a population map. That's why Western Mass, Adirondacks, and north of Bar Harbor are nearly void. Each dot represents "patient’s county of residence."
evandev··on Time to Get Serious about Tick-Borne Diseases
Not to mention:

> Each dot represents one case of Lyme disease and is placed randomly in the patient’s county of residence. The presence of a dot in a state does not necessarily mean that Lyme disease was acquired in that state. People travel between states, and the place of residence is sometimes different from the place where the patient became infected.

Any sources to back that up?
evandev··on People with Greater Intellectual Humility Have Superior General Knowledge
And during the process of learning what interests you, do you ever find that something tangentially related, you don't fully understand and should learn more about it.

I don't think anyone literally thinks, I need to know this to improve my intelligence as it is a weakness. It's usually more abstract.

evandev··on People with Greater Intellectual Humility Have Superior General Knowledge
> Also (3) I don't get, because while I am extremely motivated by intellectual curiosity, I have maybe zero motivation to "develop my intelligence" like it was some kind of fitness thing.

It would be more apt to, if you were writing code that has some level of networking involved. During this you think "I don't remember/know much of the OSI model, so I should go read up on the model to better understand the code I am writing". Instead of just trying different things and adapting examples not understanding what it is actually doing.

evandev··on Generic Drugs May Not Be As Safe Or Effective As Thought
Pick two, cheap and good. If the FDA is correctly doing their job, it should take some time to process if the generic drugs are effective. And for non-generic drugs, the R&D involved specifies that it doesn't come fast.

evandev··on When Women Outrun Men
Speaking from my personal experience to counter this, I run in the mornings up to 1 hour on an empty stomach. While I don't follow one diet, a larger portion of my food is carb based.

I follow TFTNA (Training for the New Alpinism) and Uphill Athlete (Steve/Scott's new book) training regiments that Parent mentions.

They do talk about retooling your body to use fat reserves more than carbs. While I'm sure the evidence shows that keto diet might make this switch faster and easier, someone on a non-keto diet (carb based) can also do this.

evandev··on Cooking as a Service
It is reduce, reuse, recycle in that order for a reason. If it is stolen the restaurant will need to buy another set. And reusing is worse than reducing.
