jeffw@lemmy.worldto Today I Learned@lemmy.world•TIL Cell phone use greater than 10 years increases the risk for acoustic neuroma and gliomas.English56·1 month agoThat’s not how odds ratios (or research) work. The compares groups of cell phone users and non-cell phone users.
With that being said, we’ve always known cell phone use has a correlation with very slightly increased cancer rates. That shouldn’t be controversial. It’s not concluding that there’s a direct cause or even, if they did cause it, that it’s from RF.
jeffw@lemmy.worldto Today I Learned@lemmy.world•TIL Cell phone use greater than 10 years increases the risk for acoustic neuroma and gliomas.English19·1 month agoI always knew cancer caused people to use cell phones!
Edit: on a serious note, the confidence interval for malignant tumors is an odds ratio of 1.2-3.4, although a quick google finds more recent studies (I.e.: not based off of 1990s cell phones) are even lower.

I’ll allow it since it’s a feel-good story and it hadn’t been posted on here yet.

Only makes sense if you’re going 100% based on passing stats from last season
jeffw@lemmy.worldOPto Today I Learned@lemmy.world•TIL about “passive houses,” building that are airtight and require barely any energy to heat or coolEnglish11·2 months agoThis post is 1.8 years old lol

jeffw@lemmy.worldto NFL@lemmy.world•Owners pass rule change allowing onside kicks at any point when trailing71·3 months agoRight because so many teams did this for all 50-odd years when it was legal /s
jeffw@lemmy.worldto NFL@lemmy.world•Owners pass rule change allowing onside kicks at any point when trailing16·3 months agoI still find the phrase “declare an onside kick” weird. Now you can’t use it as a trick play. That was the fun part.
jeffw@lemmy.worldto Patient Gamers@sh.itjust.works•Just finished Hogwarts Legacy, it was enjoyable but could've been better.6·3 months agoOh he’s 100% the villain in 2 or 3 (if it’s a trilogy, which I think I heard?). Edit: I mean Black
I’d hope they building quidditch into the sequel.
jeffw@lemmy.worldto Patient Gamers@sh.itjust.works•Just finished Hogwarts Legacy, it was enjoyable but could've been better.14·3 months agoI’m still mad they didn’t have quidditch
Kind of a dick move though. Anyone remember Andrew Luck? Can’t remember another high profile athlete who pulled this kind of thing in recent history
jeffw@lemmy.worldto Patient Gamers@sh.itjust.works•Wolfenstein 2 is Available Free with Prime Gaming63·4 months agoIdk why people shit on Wolfenstein. I think maybe because they expect Doom and it’s not Doom?

jeffw@lemmy.worldto NFL@lemmy.world•Kirk Cousins could be targeted by Browns, Steelers, Vikings in potential trade: Sources5·4 months ago…. Vikings? Really?
The fail mary wasn’t about the catch, it was OPI earlier in the route
Edit: also, the Seahawks won that game lol, not sure what that call has to do with the Lombardi
Nice to have a solid rival in our division again. Cowboys need to get their shit together and I can’t remember the last time the Giants were great.
jeffw@lemmy.worldto NFL@lemmy.world•Report: Little interest in Aaron Rodgers from media companies5·5 months agoShocker /s
Who would want him as an analyst? You really want the dude to make off-color comments about vaccines in the middle of a Texans game where the Measles outbreak comes up?
Drinking + fat thumbs = bad
