Wow this felt uncomfortable to watch. I feel like I was extra primed by Tom from the start though haha...

Thankfully I have never missed a flight, but one time for a moment I thought I had.

When I purchase tickets and get an email from the airline, gmail will summarize the flight details at the top of the mail. So it adds a blurb on top that isn't part of the actual mail. It usually works but one time it set the departure date as the date I received my email, not the departure date in the contents of the email.

For a moment I thought I had messed up when ordering the tickets, but reading the contents calmed me down.

I'll NEVER EVER trust that feature again.

I meant his claim

Big if true. But probably not true...

I think communities like these are extra useful on the Fediverse given the more fractured nature.

EDIT 2: I think it's primary sources. Sounds like they reach out to experts themselves. It just seems weird reading a page of 5 quotes from experts with no sources... If Science Media Centre is trusted then this is a pretty good resource.

EDIT: It could be everything they post are primary sources. I need to read a bit more on this to be sure.

~~It sounds like a nice idea but I can't see sources on those quotes, making it essentially untrustworthy.~~

~~For instance, I have trouble finding the first comment of this topic. The comment by "Prof Andy Smith, visiting worker, MRC Toxicology Unit, University of Leicester".~~

~~I can't stress how useless this is without being able to source the quotes. As far as I'm concerned this is literally fake news.~~

~~Has anyone managed to find sources for the comments?~~

This would be a fair limit. You would be limited by certain conservation laws, but as long as you would provide an adequate energy source (say, like Flash, you had to eat a lot more food) it could still be useful.

Nah but I haven't logged in yet. I will probably delete it at some point but leave the comments up. I'm fine with leaving whatever value I have contributed on Reddit. It's their website and they own the content I willfully added. But I won't contribute more.
