Debates are dead and we killed them
most scientists are great at speaking. Your research is only as good as how effectively you communicate it. You don't have to be a TED talk speaker, but generally most scientists can put together a logical story on what they're doing, why they're doing it, and why you should care. (That's how we get funding, but convincing people that it's important).

i saw a packet of heinz ketchup that said 148g of tomato per 100g. I guess they evaporate the liquid but I had a good laugh.

Do you think the guys on the titanic submarine will be rescued?
Reply in thread
really? The first point of information I found out was that it cost 250k to get on.
"hey did you hear about the submarine that's lost?
"no?"
"It cost 250k to get on, to go see the titanic wreck"
pretty much how my entire day went yesterday with various coworkers

Study Compares Gas Stove Pollution to Secondhand Cigarette Smoke
Reply in thread
as a fairly partial party (I like gas stovetops, don't own one):
statistically significant doesn't necessarily measure how important the effect is (or translatable to real life scenarios)
one study found people exposed to ~50 mg/m^3 benzene for 4 months to 16 years developed cancer (with some studies reporting ~20 mg/m^3, and a minimum of 2 mg/m^3 over 6 years)
this study reports ~3-6 ug/m^3, which is at a minimum 3 orders of magnitude less than the what was previously reported to cause cancer. (and also uses this 3 ug/m^3 based on some california recommendation)
TL;DR does it emit benzene? yes.
does it emit enough to cause cancer? untested. extrapolated answer: probably not.

iirc they break your shins so that you die faster if its taking too long, and there was a prophecy that none of jesus' bones would be broken.

The Math would add up

i've never thought about that before.
isnt that untrue though given that objects freeze instantly in space? Also that would mean you would only need to heat the ISS (rip) once, during its conception.
