US history and US govt are required courses in most high schools. The information they teach is generally what would be on the citizenship test

If you are in the US you should call 988. They will connect you with someone who is specially trained to help you through times like these

Maybe not ‘good’ per say but it actually does make them civilized. Regardless of motivation, they are being polite/courteous, which is the definition of being civilized

Well, guess we know what kind of society member you are

It’ll probably be bears next

It depends on the force being applied and how still the fluid is still, but it’s certainly plausible. Think of oobleck (cornstarch and water). Hitting with enough speed and force, the surface will act like a solid

Boiled meat tastes bad because you’re not adding oil/butter. You’re also not applying enough direct heat (plus keeping it too moist) to create the maillard reaction that is needed for a crust to form

The water doesn’t make a difference. What’s killing the bacteria is the heat. The water just changes the method of heat transfer. But as others have already said, killing the bacteria may not necessarily make it safe

What do you mean? People watch twitch, why would this be any different?

The funny thing is, the very first thing engineers learn in almost any class is significant figures and to make sure an answer makes sense in a real life scenario. Obviously not everyone is the same in terms of how they apply things, but engineers are definitely taught not to do stuff like that

That’s because it’s loss

Most movie theaters are open Christmas Day in the US as well, not just boxing day. I’ve been to quite a few movies on the 25th. Tons of major films are released Christmas Day because it’s such a high grossing day in the industry

Meant left y’all lol

Imagine if this meme said "Being rich is easy, if your Jewish enough " with a picture of a guy in a yamuka. How is that not playing into the stereotype? The whole point of the joke is that this is a stereotype of the culture

Huh, I never expected such a blatantly racist meme to get so many upvotes on an overtly far-right platform like lemmy

That sounds delicious, do you deliver?

*we’ll know next month

The pancreas is not really stable enough to be implanted in at all. Other organs you’re imagining like liver, stomach, heart, etc. have a solid lining that can be cut open and stitched back together. The pancreas is more like a cluster of loose cells with veins throughout and held together by a very thin, tissue paper lining. If you try to open it and insert cells, you’re not going to be able to put it back together.

That’s why cells are usually put in the liver, which has a large vein going directly to the pancreas. Close proximity and high blood supply. Implanting in the pancreas will likely never be an option unless you can drastically reduce the volume of cells.

Our lab was working on implanting the stem cells on a porous scaffold in the fat pad of the stomach as an alternative

Unfortunately, that doesn’t necessarily negate the requirement for immunosuppresors or some other kind of immuno protection. If it is Type 1 diabetes, the person originally became diabetic because the immune system saw certain markers on the beta cells (insulin producing cells) as a threat. So, if you recreate the beta cells, there is still a possibility that it will happen again. You are fighting your own immune system. Someone in our lab was studying encapsulation of cells to create a protective barrier around them for this very issue

If the person was Type 2, this might be less of a risk since type 2 can also be due to high insulin resistivity. There are a lot of other factors involved, though, it’s not straightforward
