Babies are literally floating in a pool of fluid the entire time they're developing in the womb. It's not like they're packed into a sausage casing with no room to move. This is why women will gain 90 lbs during pregnancy only to spit out a 5 lb baby.

Seems a little pricey for some really cheaply made stuff.

There are industry standards to test to, and yet they refuse to actually test to those standards. Their independent lab tests sent a single gallon through the filter before testing the output. NSF/ANSI standards require twice the rated lifetime capacity to go through the filter before testing its output. Moreover, they make ridiculous claims that they get 99.99999% of contaminants out, which is orders of magnitude better than distillation and reverse osmosis, the best filtration methods there are. A pretty bold claim for a company that refuses to subject their products to industry standard tests. People have cut open black Berkey filters to reveal the insides, and it's literally the same shit that's in a Britta filter: compacted activated carbon and ion exchange resin.

If you want 99+% purification, get a RO system. You can even combine RO with carbon and ion exchange resin to get really pure water.

Berkey is just a giant Britta filter - literally a gravity percolator through activated carbon and ion exchange resin. I've got better shit on my fish tank. It's overpriced shit.

I mean, he did have a 500lb bench press at one point... guess he could brag about that.

Because the research they're doing is illegal both by us law, and international treaty, and they're hoping to not get caught.

Blood letting is still used today for some very good reasons. It's just a bit more refined than it used to be. We still use leeches, too.

QR codes are extremely resilient to corruption and data loss. They're designed to be used in industrial settings, even, where dirt and wear and tear are a given. I think the top tier QR code can lose a third of its data and still work just fine. If you want to destroy the code, go ham with that sharpy.

To put it simply, hawking radiation is how black holes lose energy and eventually evaporate.

The event horizon is basically a distance from the center of a black hole at which anything that gets close will fall into the hole while anything that doesn't cross the line still has a chance to escape. The theory is that space itself is constantly in flux, with particle-antiparticle pairs constantly forming and immediately eradicating themselves everywhere. When one of these pairs forms at the event horizon, one of the particles is able to escape while the other falls into the black hole, chipping away at the matter therein. The escaping particle then carries some energy from the black hole out into space in the form of kinetic energy.

It is the conservation of mass-energy, not the conservation of mass alongside the conservation of energy. You have to think of it as a sort of slide scale where you can shift your proportions from mostly mass to mostly energy and back again while considering your masses as simply bundles of stored potential energy. When you're dealing with every day objects and ordinary interactions, the slide scale movements between mass and energy are negligible and you can ignore them. It's when you're dealing with stuff on cosmic or sub-atomic scales that it can make a lot of interesting things happen.

Matter has a baseline quantity of energy that you can completely convert it into. For example, combining a positron and an electron will totally eradicate both and release all of their rest mass as thermal energy. Mass-energy conversion is how nuclear power is possible.

Hawking radiation should be pretty easy to find info on. I think he won a Nobel for that.

What a meaningless word salad. Thanks for wasting everyone's time.

Matter is not constant. Matter and energy are both distortions of space time, and are interchangeable. They are continuously popping in and out of existence. Just look at hawking radiation, where a particle-antiparticle pair spontaneously springs into existence at the event horizon of a black hole and one falls in while the other escapes.

Dude, deaths in teenagers have surged 700% in a week following vaccine approval for that age group. People are already dying from this shit in droves.

I need you to understand that more deadly strains naturally arising is not normal. All viruses gradually evolve over time to become less deadly and more contagious, because a dead host that doesn't pass on the virus means the virus goes extinct. The deadlier strains naturally die out.

If anything, a vaccine that permits you to still catch and transmit the original virus is a recipe for creating more mutations with a greater potential for lethality. People will repeatedly catch and transmit the original virus, each time creating opportunity for mutation of a new variant. If those same vaccines also make you more susceptible to variants, then you become a factory producing your own death.

Isreal has about the highest vaccination rate in the world. They recently had more daily deaths than at any other time since the start of this mess, almost entirely among people who were previously vaccinated. Other places with very low vaccination rates are seeing very high case counts, but very very few deaths.

The vaccines make people overreact to otherwise innocuous viruses.

Instead of making you immune to the virus and others like it, the vaccine makes you get even sicker from the virus than you otherwise would have been without the vaccine. Getting boosters makes it even worse.
