  • It’s still a suffering animal, so we should get the most data we can out of every specimen. That should minimize the total amount of mice being used.

    Also only studying some mice can lead to biased results. Iirc in the pace trial participants who dropped out because the intervention worsened their condition where not included in the end result. With rats the researchers could just chose the healthiest ones and just claim they selected randomly.

    Rant:

    The pace trial was a horrible study on a chronic disease that was conducted by the british health system with the goal of denying care.
    The trial also had other systematic flaws like having a laxer definition of healthy at the end of the trial that at the beginning, meaning people who where sick enough to participate would be declared cured at the end even if nothing changed.
    This study is still used to denie people’s lived experience and just call them lazy.
    I don’t have a personal connection to any of this, but learning about it made me angry enough, that I must share this knowledge.




  • This, unfortunately, means that semicolons are often inserted in places where you were not expecting them

    example:

    ()=>{
      return {k:"v"}; // returns the object
    }
    ()=>{
      return      // returns undefined 
        {k:"v"};  // unreachable 
    }
    

    so the advice is to always include them manually yourself so that you are never unpleasantly surprised.

    The example will be unpleasantly surprising, no matter where you put semicolons.





  • To all the veggie haters:

    Broccoli recipe:

    1. Fry broccoli with paprika and small pieces of meat or tofu in a pan until brown.
    2. Add water and seasonings.
    3. Steam to desired hardness.
    4. Serve with rice or couscous.

    Cauliflower recipe:

    1. Make brown butter by heating up butter and adding breadcrumbs to soak it up.
    2. Serve it on enough steamed cauliflower to justify the amount of brown butter you are about to eat.

  • It depends on the coalition that gets formed, does the conservative party go with the center left party for 4 years of stagnation or break their word and work with the fat right.
    They have done the later already on emigration, passing a non-binding resolution (with only one conservative vote against) and narrowly losing on the second round because their own members of parlament didn’t show up to vote.
