So the USA plans to fabricate their science going forward? If they do, they'll really be able to behave as if they fully don't need scientific evidence anymore. They can just pump out pseudoscience, like antivaxx articles "made by LLMs".
See doi.org/10.31234/osf... for the case in psychology.

This silver Nikon FE2 was my main camera for 2+ decades, accompanying me to Yukon, Antarctica, Greenland, and countless other places. Sadly, its shutter self-destructed a few years ago.
I’ve just replaced the light seals on this black FE2, and am looking forward to running some film through it.

The weather will be turning next week and if you have somewhere warm and safe to go, don't take that for granted. So many people in our community are not so fortunate. The money I'm raising will ensure Bissell can continue to offer services and supplies to those in need.
Please donate if you can!

Alberta’s UCP: hell-bent on making every possible worst decision.
UCP gov’t legalizing farmed elk and deer hunting on ‘harvest preserves’ with Bill 10

Update: the freezer will be full of venison this winter.
I can think of far worse ways to spend the past two evenings than enjoying this view from a hunting blind, watching for whitetail bucks.

Since Derek features a Canadian manufacturer in this thread, I thought I’d mention that in Saskatchewan, hoodies are called “bunny hugs.”
