Question. Is there any researh that show negative health effects on humans with micro plastics in their stool?


I didn't have time to read the article.


My 8gig ram linux system runs out of ram and sometimes crashes when I run Android Studio. It refuses to use the default swap file on the ssd hard drive.I created a 16 gig swap file and set the swappiness value to 100. It only uses a few megabytes of the swapfile sometimes and still runs out of memory when I run Android Studio and then crashes. I ordered 16 gig ddr4 ram today and will remove the current swap file when the ram arrives. Seems like the only solution. I don't have time to burn another night reading up on this.


I am White and I use White emojis with pride. If that upsets anyone they can just deal with it.


No one cares.


You care enough to reply.


I am in ny early 30s and working on post graduate research at night. I do it because it is interesting but also to be employable in a academic context later in my life.


If money was not part of the equation I would have loved to have studied history.


As a child I spent my afternoons with an air rifle in the African bush on my grandfather's farm. Good times. Now I spend 12+ hours a day in front of a computer.


Ha, exactly what my wife told me when I shared this article with her.


Is/was there a natural predator in Australia to keep their numbers in balance?


Dingos are their natural predator. But we've killed all the dingos because dingos also eat livestock.

It's the same as with deer in Europe and America. Wolves and beers are their natural predators, but then we killed all the wolves and bears because they ate our sheep.


How do we define natural predator? Dingos are an introduced species, they've only been here around 6000 years.


For the past several thousands of years, that was mainly humans and dingos. Not so much now.


The thylacine's preferred diet was kangeroo, and they were hunted to extinction after falsely being branded chicken thieves.

Interesting how main stream science obsesses over Neanderthals but ignore Boskopoids. I suppose it does not fit in with the narrative being projected on humanity. Also worth mentioning Adam's calendar which was discovered in 2003 in South Africa and predates Stonehenge by 10s of thousands of years.

Wikipedia wildly disagrees with you [1], it's few hundred years old

In academia we do not even consider the opinion of people who cite wikipedia as a basis for their argument.


Too lazy to click through to get the cite?


No I have just found so many discrepancies on wiki through the years that I do not consider it a valid cite and many academics agree. Are you perhaps to lazy for more in depth research than picking the first hit on Google and forming your opinion based on that one source of information?


You are the one making extraordinary claims and complaining how "mainstream science" ignores them.

The burden of showing credible evidence clearly falls to you, and you have yet to show anything at all. I think you should already consider yourself lucky that some people have even deigned engage with you despite your tone and your general conspiracy theorist attitude.


I do not consider myself lucky to be engaged by people who do "quick Google" searches or cite Wikipedia as sources to base their arguments on.


Hmm, if you are so high and above most of us, why not contribute to the mankind and actually improve that wiki page with some cold hard facts in academic fashion? If you actually know them of course


All: please resist the temptation to engage in this intellectually dreadful floundering.


A quick Google suggests Boskop man was a modern human and Adam's calendar are 16th century livestock enclosures . . . so I'm really not sure what you are trying to say.


Well I did more than a "quick Google" so I can understand that you are not sure.


I hope this means you did not end up on all the crackpot sites that runs counter to any sane scientific approach and runs their arguments based on refuting existing research based on incompleteness and plain disbelief ? Do you have some credible information, or are they secret ?


Please cite your sources then.
