A place for for news, discussion, memes, and links criticizing capitalism and advancing viewpoints that challenge liberal capitalist ideology. That means any support for any liberal capitalist political party (like the Democrats) is strictly prohibited.
A zero-tolerance policy for bigotry of any kind. Failure to respect this will result in a ban.
RULES:
1 Understand the left starts at anti-capitalism.
2 No Trolling
3 No capitalist apologia, anti-socialism, or liberalism, liberalism is in direct conflict with the left. Support for capitalism or for the parties or ideologies that uphold it are not welcome or tolerated.
4 No imperialism, conservatism, reactionism or Zionism, lessor evil rhetoric. Dismissing 3rd party votes or 'wasted votes on 3rd party' is lessor evil rhetoric.
5 No bigotry, no racism, sexism, antisemitism, homophobia, transphobia, ableism, or any type of prejudice.
6 Be civil in comments and no accusations of being a bot, 'paid by Putin,' Tankie, etc. This includes instance shaming.

I can't read the specific study they're citing here, but from reporting on it this sounds like it's being just a little bit overhyped - a quick setting glue is critically important, but the situations in which you'd use a metal plate for osteoimmobilization are with extreme displaced fractures and something that could even be accessed with a 3 minute surgery (and evidently yes, this glue does require surgery) would not merit a metal plate in any case.
The actual development sounds like it's a very fast setting bone-bonding bio-absorbing surgical glue that doesn't require extensive cleaning of the bonding site. That does sound like an extremely useful development, but it's also not a novel product by any means. This seems like another entry in the trend of pro-china hyped science reporting that absolutely removes all the interesting details in their quest to push a narrative (which uh... no hang on, that's all modern science reporting)
