More like bacteria in your smegma create energy from thin air. According to wikipedia, M. smegmatis got its name because it was found in normal, healthy smegma. Fun fact: due to its reputation as a “fast-grower” and its structural similarity to the pathogen that causes tuberculosis (M. tuberculosis), its considered a “model organism” used often in research labs.

Reply to comment by Vendetta2112 in The National Science Foundation got so much extra funding, it has to reorganize by 458339

So much of what we enjoy in our modern life is due to science sponsored by government. You don't have a fucking clue what you're talking about. Medicine, communication, transportation, energy; all have at their core technologies developed by or in partnership with government. This website exists due to technology developed by the government.

Who made lithium ion batteries, through a 40 year program, of which now the free market is making insane profits on? That’s right, the government did, because it isn’t pointless research and the free market simply isn’t capable of such large investments into speculative research. Socialist or capitalist, it’s idiotic to act like investment into your country’s technology is “pointless”

And that's why I said both are crap. I was raised in Canada and did 2 years of studying abroad in Bosnia. I've been to 2 different Uni's. The difference is miniscule and yet you learn nothing compared to more western universities.

welp, lets forget about the term credibility. As you mentioned UNSA is ranked 1612 while IUS is ranked 3769. You could argue that both are crap comparing to Zagreb 571, but still UNSA is the best you can get in BiH and no matter how good IUS is at marketing, they arent the same.

Where did I mention credibility? He said public uni's had good education which I disagreed with. UNSA is ranked 1612 on webometrics while the one in Zagreb is 571. Huge difference in education quality not too far away.
