When my mom’s cancer got rapidly worse when she went off Metformin the second time, I needed info and fast on Metformin and multiple myeloma. This was 2021 and by then I was already worried that even pubmed (a usually reliable source) might one day get clogged with junk.
People talk about the net as if it is just social media. But that’s not the stuff that one worries about. If actual scientific resources..
Well hopefully that doesn’t happen.

It would be a disaster if PubMed or hyper physics or univ websites..

It happened to a pdf of file of mine around Jan 2022? Can’t recall exactly. It was just a physics handout on tension I had downloaded.

It had been corrupted and turned into what looked like junk. I wish I had kept it.
Imagine if that happened to pdfs on pubmed. That would not be good for scientific research.
And with NIST etc gone..

Well..I don’t know..damn Idiocracy..
