Depends on the journal I guess, my wife worked at multiple publishers and there's normally an insultingly small stipend for the editorial board members and writers

Reviewers and writers actually do get a stipend, but it's a token amount like 200 bucks a year. This industry is the most ass backward incentive structure we could possibly create, the only reason writers would provide articles to a journal is literally for the clout.

I'm not saying youre necessarily wrong, but it's not like hezbollahs militants have decent trigger discipline. Peak tensions combined with an armed fanatic and an easy target has a tendency to end in violence.

I know you're looking for on or over ear, but for the gym, it might make more sense to get the non TWS earbuds like the LG Tone or similar. They're light in your ear as all the battery weight stays on your neck.

Palestine can't destroy Israel, but there are quite a few like minded governments surrounding the country that have attempted that before.

Even specific to this invasion, hamas is suspected to be receiving considerable backing from another country to destabilize Israel or any other myriad reasons. This conflict isn't happening in an isolated bubble with just two sides.

Honestly, the answer is probably to avoid libel lawsuits.

EPA article on PFAS

Much more in depth NIH article (go to section 3)

We are definitely NOT in theory territory here, there have been studies and reports of people directly suffering from the effects of PFAS, what we are not clear on is how it's interacting with our bodies.

The problem is that it's so inert, it becomes impossible to remove from a contaminated environment or particularly a person's blood stream.

The amount that inevitably gets caught in your blood will just stay in your body forever, settling down in a critical organ like your brain or kidneys and giving you cancer or some other horrible problem.

It's ironic because no man's sky does ship combat and ship travel so much better than starfield

The combat feels like it could have gone either stiffer and chunkier like monster hunter or much lighter and responsive like warframe, but it chose the worst of both worlds. So right now you primarily use normal attacks, but they don't have a lot of weight and locks your character into position and attack angle. The skills feel great in terms of weight (stagger, damage, flashiness, etc) but the cool downs spread them very thin early on, so you are mostly attacking normally.

I actually don't like PSO2NGS combat for a similar reason, they lock players into a combo or attack pattern in a game that is all about movement and jumping around.

My two major issues with the fame are how clunky and stiff the combat feels, and how awful the UI is on PC. Animations don't let your attacks move with the camera far, so you end up attacking in the same direction even when you're trying to track something to your side. This feels really bad with niss's ult, because you need to wait between each dash to let the animation reset and give you the direction you actually want to go through.

The UI quite frankly feels like it was made for a phone. Every single choice requires you to hold the confirmation button, the interface itself looks scaled up too much, and the preview model for weapons and characters tends to bug out.

It's legit but the goal (and title of this article) are still decades of research from being realized.
