  • Thankfully I have never missed a flight, but one time for a moment I thought I had.

    When I purchase tickets and get an email from the airline, gmail will summarize the flight details at the top of the mail. So it adds a blurb on top that isn’t part of the actual mail. It usually works but one time it set the departure date as the date I received my email, not the departure date in the contents of the email.

    For a moment I thought I had messed up when ordering the tickets, but reading the contents calmed me down.

    I’ll NEVER EVER trust that feature again.






  • EDIT 2: I think it’s primary sources. Sounds like they reach out to experts themselves. It just seems weird reading a page of 5 quotes from experts with no sources… If Science Media Centre is trusted then this is a pretty good resource.

    EDIT: It could be everything they post are primary sources. I need to read a bit more on this to be sure.

    It sounds like a nice idea but I can’t see sources on those quotes, making it essentially untrustworthy.

    For instance, I have trouble finding the first comment of this topic. The comment by “Prof Andy Smith, visiting worker, MRC Toxicology Unit, University of Leicester”.

    I can’t stress how useless this is without being able to source the quotes. As far as I’m concerned this is literally fake news.

    Has anyone managed to find sources for the comments?
