Hearing protection is worthwhile. I don't know if we understand tinnitus well enough to say whether most of it is preventable.

tinnitus can be caused for other reasons than loud music, some that are not that well understood. Any sensorineural hearing loss can be accompanied by tinnitus. Autoimmune inner disease (AIED) and meniere's disease can bring about tinnitus. Tinnitus sucks. I think the best guess is nerve cells in the inner ear firing improperly and generating a random noisy signal that gets interpreted wrong by the brain.

These weaknesses all hold if it's discovered that lesspass is in use. How would information that the user is using lesspass leak?

The path to reducing emissions is much clearer than the path to efficiently scrub CO2 from the atmosphere. Also, scrubbing CO2 from the atmosphere gets harder and harder as CO2 emissions grow. There is some research to sequester CO2, but I don't think we have an ideas that are better than planting trees.

Antivaxxers are calm because they believe they are making the healthiest choice for their kids. Vaxxers are upset because they feel antivaxxers are just relying on the success of vaccinations to diminish disease prevalence and don't really have to worry about their kids running into the disease.

If I knew everyone else in the world was vaccinated, I might choose not to vaccinate my kid. It's a mostly unnecessary risk for my kid since they would be unlikely to encounter it in a completely vaccinated world. But that sort of thinking is horrible for public health.

Bioweapons are hard to deploy in a targeted fashion. Also, development of an antibiotic resistant bacteria that would be truly dangerous to a population requires great care during development not to kill those doing the development themselves. Also, I think we tend to overestimate the resources available to terrorists.

I still remember entering Horde territory on a PvP server for the first time trying to complete the baby Alliance warlock quests. It was a huge thrill, and I felt completely immersed. I had many other fun times in the game and seeing the other beautifully crafted zones, however, the time commitment I wanted to sink into the game to fully enjoy it couldn't be sustained. I had to quit for personal well being reasons.

And prokaryotic cells are much, much smaller than eurkaryotic cells. I think the mass of a eukaryotic cell is over 1000x the mass of a prokaryotic cell.

I've heard that the goal for many football players is not long term health but to get out there and play while the opportunity is there. Reducing inflammation works so that you feel like you can go out and play again without adequate recovery. When the average football player has only a few months for a few years to make their mark, playing through injury or pain is the goal rather than the proper recovery.

Or generate and store excess energy during the day. I think the current challenge is that current energy storage solutions do not scale to the size of power plants?

Do volunteer firefighters provide their own equipment as well? I could believe that most firefighters are volunteer. I would be surprised to hear that most firefighting was volunteer.

How young is your infant? Early on, smiles are often imitation.

I think the argument is that if bad guys didn't have guns, then there would be no reason for good guys to have guns except to fend off wildlife.

However, even if the bad guys didn't have encryption, we would still want good guys to have encryption to prevent the bad guys from intercepting private and sensitive communications.

The way we know the harm a material (plant byproduct, animal byproduct or synthetic compound) will do to a human body is by its history of ingestion by humans. Yes, we may have a longer informal history of ingestion of cannabis.

Mathematics education should embrace discovery as well as memorizing definitions. The commutative property for multiplication does not necessarily need to be taught before a student discovers it. They may not be able to rigorously prove it. Early on mathematics education should be about to discover and curiosity and lighter on rigor.
