    Yep, for most versions, it's in the settings general tab about 3/4 the way down. The only versions I'm aware of without this are the stock FireFox browsers on some Linux distro's, only because the updates are handled by the OS.

    With diffusion being a foundational aspect of solutes mixing in solutions, the water should have an even distribution of the contaminants. However, the tidal force of water associated with a storm surge probably throws a wrench in the plan here. But generally, it's evenly spread throughout and will be found in relatively even amounts everywhere the water settles.

    Same with homes, renting can provide lower monthly payments vs a mortgage. But with a mortgage you own the home and eventually you'll have no monthly payment, whereas renting means you'll always pay and the landlord has the final say in matters.

    Study Reveals How Brain Cells Compute the Flow of Time
  • shreddy_scientist shreddy_scientist Now 100%

    I mean, the research paper from the study doesn't reference dopamine at all. It focuses on electric pulses associated with visual interpretations of the environment. It does reference a reward system stating "arguably the main purpose of extracting the underlying structure of temporal sequences is to predict what is likely to happen next in order to choose appropriate actions and maximize reward." But it appears as if this is variable for each situation for each participant. Nonetheless, I like where your head's at, I just don't see it being associated with the analysis.

    Netanyahu Considers Ethnic Cleansing Plan for North Gaza
  • shreddy_scientist shreddy_scientist Now 100%

    Well, the focus of the Israeli attacks were initially in the greater Gaza Strip area, which is in Southern Gaza. So this wouldn't make much sense to have been posted 6 months back. But being posted now demonstrates the expansion of the Israeli attacks. Nonetheless, I get where you were coming from with it.

    Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is set to deliver an address at the United Nations General Assembly later this week. On Thursday, September 26, several anti-imperialist organizations, organized under the Shut it Down For Palestine Coalition, are holding a demonstration denouncing Netanyahu’s visit and demanding that he be arrested for genocide and crimes against humanity.

  • Confused about linux as always
  • shreddy_scientist shreddy_scientist Now 100%

    So Ubuntu has a version called Lubuntu, which used to come with LXDE, but now it comes with LXQt. So this will require you to install LXDE with the tasksel command, unless you start with Ubuntu desktopless. But I'd say to definitely check out Kubuntu, it's the KDE version, and I feel like KDE and LXDE are quite similar. Both have an older windows overall appearance.

  • Superbugs will kill three every minute by 2050.

    There's a new antibiotic which can be made specifically for each gram-negative bacteria. Due to it being so selective, the impact of making other bactiera resistant is no longer an issue. Additionally, we've got to get back to studying bacteria phages in detail. These are viruses which only attack bacteria and they evolve faster than bacteria. But phages were written off after the discovery of penicillin. These numbers are scary, but thankfully there's many intelligent folks working to prevent this from happening!

QTTabBar is an extension for the windows file manager which provides tabbed browsing as well. Here's a list covering these and many others with links to official websites for each one: https://alternativeto.net/software/windows-explorer/?p=2

  • Why a New UN ‘Peacekeeping’ Mission Would be Devastating for the Haitian People
  • shreddy_scientist shreddy_scientist Now 100%

    On top of that, in the 2010 massive Cholera outbreak, there's images of UN sewage trucks dumping waste into the local water ways. While it was responsible for an obscene initial death toll, the country still has this Cholera strain actively being spread, confirmed via genetic analysis. In a country with fragile water filtration infrastructure, a severe lack of vaccinations, and a heavy distrust in the local government, this was a perfect storm which the repercussions are still being felt to this day... Stay away from Haiti UN, you've already done enough!

    It's a University of California, the fact the article focuses on the US constitution doesn't void the state's constitution. Both federal and state governments have authority here. Maybe think outside the box whatever you're reading is painted in? It's without question a good practice.

    Are they not people? People are referenced numerous times throughout the US constitution. Additionally, this is a state run institution, so the California constitution is also applicable. California's constitution explicitly covers rights and protections for students as well as faculty. Students have protection for speech and it prohibits disciplining students for this protected speech. Maybe think a bit longer before hitting post, it would help to prevent you coming across as a narcissistic imbecile...

    It's ludicrous everyone understands biology operates on spectrums. Brown eyes, yep, large range of eye coloration are "brown". White skin, yep, large array of skin tones are "white". Even like the flavor of tomatoes, yep, vast differences. Genetic variation within a population is what keeps a species viable. Yet when it comes to the genetic makeup and expression of sex chromosome linked traits, fuck you, it'd without question this or that...
