Name and shame them. Who are they? just that we can about their “services”

started learning French during the pandemic, first with some app but then switched to an 1-1 online course, one hour every week, and stayed with it. right now I’m somewhere at B1 level which might but be much, but suffices for reading (technical) books, newspapers, and everyday communication. i try to listen to a lot of French music (with lyrics on, to help me get into the rhythm if the language and maybe learn some new lingo), watch movies (Love Star Trek), listen to the radio, bla blub.

the things is to find something you care about in the other language/culture. then, learning the language will give you access to something which is already important to you and keeping up with your learning becomes more easy. my2c

well yeah, but there is money in knowing what to avoid. in academia it’s more like “why can’t i reproduce this effect i read about in this fancy paper, am i stupid or what”, when maybe, they just got lucky, or had plenty of very reasonable analysis options to choose from, or simply fudged the numbers. i fear that in much of academia there is a huge incentive to publish at whatever cost

i Kind of doubt it. in a video i saw if the process they were using hardfired bricks. i don’t believe any organic compounds would survive the heat.

(dung might be a better term for what you were referring to. i seem to remember that because of the way they feed their cattle the dung has a very high fibre content which makes it a good source for building material. it’s nowhere as gross as the diarrhea like consistency we get from cows in Europe)

I’ve never smelled the stuff but apparently the smell of rain is something people try to bottle.

what’s with the femur? is it on purpose?

the abstract of the PDF provided in the link has more commas. (not sure if any of the terms mean anything though. i know jackshit about any of this)

someone fucked up the commas

this is my impression. back when i still was in academia it would pop up from time to time but i never published there since i never cited any of their journals in the first place. (why would one publish there when all your peers are somewhere else). nowadays i sometimes get requests from them to my personal email for special issues which i just ignore. (it’s academic spam essentially).

have a look at retraction watch https://retractionwatch.com/?s=mdpi

some might regard it as a predatory publisher

thank you for your work. although i don’t post here i really appreciate the community and the work that involves. thanks a lot

simple vinaigrette. Olive oil, French mustard, vinegar, salt, pepper (garlic, shallots). depending on the salad it’s wine vinegar (red or white) or apple cider vinegar, Dijon or à l’ancienne mustard. if i feel fancy I’ll add some herbs (tarragon is great) or some egg yolk for extra creaminess.
