Thanks for doing the extra labor here.

Oh no.

Had to look up several articles to better understand the shortage and it is still not entirely clear to me. Seems to be numerous factors all affecting Japan at the same time. I don’t envy them. increased prices in staple foods is really hard.

But being accurate with the headline makes it less click baity. 😏 Honestly, this article is scant on details.

Data centers don’t usually have an “X-ray polarization detector for picking up brief cosmic phenomena.” Like you said, it seems more like a scientific tool than an actual “data center.”

They’ve certainly had to come up with some way to effectively radiate the heat into space. The article doesn’t mention it though. i presume it’s one of the main reasons for networking so many machines together?

12 of 2800 planned have been launched.

Exactly, there’s a lot of different factors that can affect cognition.

Thanks for the share. This article led to https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sequential_hermaphroditism and then further down the rabbit hole. Hermaphroditism is wild.

Thanks for sharing this. It was an informative read and quite relevant.

This website’s use of stock images and gifs were aggravating. The actual case study was worth the read, but only covers a single pair of individuals: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0191886922001477

It’s certainly interesting. I’m particularly curious about the effects of the multiple confusions:

US had three concussions as an adult, caused by car accidents and from falling on ice. The most recent and severe incident occurred in January 2018, resulting in classic symptoms of light sensitivity and concentration difficulty. US feels she is a “different person,” with increased anger and anxiety. She requires additional time to process information in some problem-solving situations, although she has always seen herself as a poor test taker.

Some of the conclusions seemed a stretch for a single sample. I’m much more curious about more extensive studies with many more subjects.

I want to believe you’re wrong, but… I can’t. 😔

Honestly, they’re not.

I hate to say it, but the system needs to crash and burn for people to wake up. I need and want to avoid that at all costs, but some people… most people… don’t seem to be able to learn without it.

I think you are overestimating just how much constituents are invested in what their politicians actually do…

Many many many persons feel the side effects, the burn, of their elected politicians deviating from what they hoped. And yet each election cycle, these politicians continue to be voted in.

I mean, they get mad, but mad enough to watch C-Span and make calls…? 😅

As you can see, Trump is saving the United States.

😏

Edit: adding the /s tag because of the downvotes. smh.

I understand the issue. It’s clear. What I don’t understand is this article focusing on Ocasio-Cortez’s “by the light of day” comment.

Are people watching these proceedings live on C-Span with their hand on the phone ready to call their congressperson’s office? If Republicans pushed this through “during the light of day,” would it make any actual difference? Why can’t congresspersons challenge this in the middle of the night? Does Ocasio-Cortez think Republican constituents will be making those calls to change the minds of their politicians? 🤔

Oh no.

This a great interview.

Being brave enough to be wrong about something so fundamental is no small feat. In this clip, what he describes briefly at the end regarding his wife’s reaction is just the tip of the iceberg.

For people so deeply entrenched in ideologies and worldviews such as these, the ramifications of accepting being wrong and pivoting can be devastating to marriages, familial relations, communities, careers, and more.

My heart goes out to those wading through those waters, especially those gathering the courage to shed the falsehoods at great cost. 💜

I suppose the quotation marks are pretty loaded these days…

But honestly, when you’ve lived on the other side of things… as bad as it gets in the “West”… many people will still sacrifice everything to make their way there, where a better life might be found… even if many of those countries are actively trying to keep immigrants out… 🫤

And nothing will be done.

I’m so tired, just trying to keep up.

I don’t know how any Gazans can bear to live under this.

They need help. They need hope.

How long must this continue? How long will the “free world” continue to allow this?

😫
