  • Bit misleading. Tumour-associated antigens can very easily be detected very early. Problem is, these are only associated with cancer, and provide a very high rate of false positives

    They’re better used as a stepping stone for further testing, or just seeing how advanced a cancer is

    That is to say, I’m assuming that’s what this is about, as i didnt rwad the article. It’s the first thing I thought of when I heard “cancer in bloodstream”, as the other options tend to be a bit more bleak

    Edit: they’re talking about cancer “shedding genetic material”, which I hate how general they’re being. Probably talking about proto oncogenes from dead tumour debris, but seems different to what I was expecting





  • I can think of a few reasons as to why a website would run ads. I can think of a few reasons as to why a website would limit download speeds

    I cannot fathom for any non greed-ridden reason as to why a website would make you wait five seconds before downloading a mod. It’s an inconvenience for the sake of an inconvenience, a problem they made to sell the solution

    Of course, we need to keep in mind that they don’t make the mods, they merely host them. Compare the amount of bloat on their website to other, less funded ones such as lovers lab and gamebanana, and it becomes apparent that there’s a money sink somewhere

    I mean, it still doesn’t explain why nobody, not a single person (especially the people who already suspected it), brought up why the tree was alive for a second

    But it was a good show, so I’ll probably watch season 2 at some point

    It’s good, but there was one glaring plothole that, once I noticed, ruined my love for the show

    Tap for spoiler

    During the blackout, when people are huddling there’s a flicker of the above tree from outside, but it’s alive. There is no reason, other than to build suspense for audience members, for there to be any showing of an alive tree during the livestream. The video feed isn’t hacked, the tree most certainly isn’t alive, and nobody ever brings up how the entirety of the silo saw for a split second an alive tree. I hate it when a show or movie does something that makes no sense in-universe just to fool audience members

    That being said, I haven’t watched season 2, so maybe it’s explained there
