  • That’s interesting. Last year I visited an exhibition in Windischeschenbach / Germany where they drilled a hole that is more than 9000 meters deep to analyze the layers of the soil. There they said that they also penetrated several water basins while drilling that were completely isolated for billions of years. Still they didn’t find a single biologist willing to analyze these water samples. The reason that was given to me was that the liquid may contain completely unknown and highly dangerous bacteria, viruses etc.

    Permafrost to me is quite similar to these underground water basins in terms of isolation over a long period of time. So that’s what I based my original claim on.

    But I’m neither an expert in geology nor biology, so I can’t judge the potential risk.





  • As a European, I never heard of this guy and it’s probably not a perfect candidate either. But just based on what’s written in the article it might indeed be a valid option to consider although personally I’d wish for a more progressive US leader.

    Reading comments regarding the presidential election on social media, the thing you literally read the most is that people want someone younger that is neither Trump nor Biden. This guy is still old but apparantly around a decade younger. He’s not Biden and not Trump and still somewhat popular across different generations. Might work out.









  • The study differentiates between male and female only and purely based on physical features such as eye brows, mustache etc.

    I agree you can’t see one’s gender but I would say for the study this can be ignored. If you want to measure a bias (‘women code better/worse than men’), it only matters what people believe to see. So if a person looks rather male than female for a majority of GitHub users, it can be counted as male in the statistics. Even if they have the opposite sex, are non-binary or indentify as something else, it shouldn’t impact one’s bias.
