- Comment on Surprising ingredients suggest ancient Egyptian paint was far more complex than previously assumed 1 week ago:
Cattle glue was found in most of the samples containing animal glue, but there were also glues from several different animals, including sheep or goats, donkeys, horses and possibly wild antelopes. The evidence suggests these were made using animal hides and connective tissues rather than bones alone. Several plant proteins were also discovered.
“Proteomics confirmed the use of glue prepared from the collagen of multiple animals and revealed the presence of plant proteins, including sesame and moringa products, previously undocumented in ancient Egyptian artworks,” the researchers said in their paper. _ […]_ Because sesame and moringa can be processed for oil, the researchers ran additional chemical tests to check whether the ingredients were plant oils or another product.
The analysis revealed a protein-rich material, with traces of oil present. This suggests the painters were not using pure plant oils but may instead have been using seed cake, the protein-rich material left over after pressing seeds for oil.

Bingo. There are some fascists alive today that wouldn’t be where they are if they had either loving parents or a good therapist.

It is well known that 73% of statistics are made up. /jk
It’s mental. On one hand, you have people demanding the confidence index for published statistics, otherwise they’re meaningless. On the other hand, you have people that can’t wrap their heads around percentages.

They did sweeten wine with it, so I’m going to say it’s more complex than that. At least they didn’t burn it with petrochemicals poisoning the whole of biosphere for a whole (two?) generation.

- Comment on Scientists detect a surprising shift in human blood as atmospheric CO2 rises 3 weeks ago:
Summary: Rising carbon dioxide in the atmosphere may be leaving a measurable imprint inside the human body. Researchers analyzing more than two decades of U.S. health data found that blood bicarbonate levels have climbed about 7% since 1999, while calcium and phosphorus have declined—changes that closely track increasing atmospheric CO2.

- Comment on Midair Laser Charging Gives Drones a Shot at Endless Search Runs 5 weeks ago:
Limited battery life can hinder how useful drones are in responding to disasters, inspecting infrastructure, or delivering items.
And I’m sure the surveillance and war industries are not going anywhere near it.
- Comment on Scientists detect a sharp acceleration in global warming 5 weeks ago:
Yeah, there’s localized effects. Like where I live, particulate matter and ozone skyrocketed after they installed a massive gas-powered datacenter in the neighboring town. But globally, it takes forever for these effects to pile up and cause a dent. Which is why they are measured in average increase per decade.
