AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers around skepticism regarding a website promoting brain transplantation, which participants view as a hoax. Initial reactions include disbelief and humor, with one user expressing a preference for a total body transplant instead of a brain transplant. Clarification arises that the website offers body transplants, not brain transplants as initially assumed. There is a light-hearted acknowledgment of misunderstanding the site's offerings, with a note that the website features sample bodies but does not disclose their sourcing. Overall, the conversation highlights a mix of amusement and caution regarding the legitimacy of such medical claims.

Silly me! Next time I'll view the link! :wink:
 
You missed out. They even have sample bodies for you to take. But they can't reveal how they get them.

Thread 'I need help understanding this quote about recent Natural Selection'

I am reading Nicholas Wade's book A Troublesome Inheritance. Please let's not make this thread a critique about the merits or demerits of the book.

Thread 'Fermentation using mixed legume and grain feedstock'

I use ethanol for cleaning glassware and resin 3D prints. The glassware is sometimes used for food. If possible, I'd prefer to only keep one grade of ethanol on hand. I've made sugar mash, but that is hardly the least expensive feedstock for ethanol. I had given some thought to using wheat flour, and for this I would need a source for amylase enzyme (relevant data, but not the core question). I am now considering animal feed that I have access to for 20 cents per pound. This is a...
