I kept a dream journal for a couple weeks a long time ago. Writing as much as I could remember as soon as I got up from a dream I thought was interesting. I stopped because when I would read through them later on, I would notice that these dreams were mostly imaginative diarrhea that made no sense.
I had a "friend" in highschool try to make me feel bad about being uncut. Saying the typical pseudoscience of "you're dirty" "girls don't like it", it was that day that I decided this guy was stupid beyond repair.
My logic is that I'm using deodorant at the same rate and as long as I'm using them within a year of opening then the cost would be the same as using one at a time. Possibly even more cost effective if bought on sale and accounting for inflation.
Morning update: Had 1 clove with dinner. Throat was still sore when I was going to bed but much better when I woke up. Although without a control group, I don't know how much recovery to attribute to the garlic. But I do feel better!
I usually try to take on sicknesses as natural as possible so I've never come across this first defence stuff but it does look promising from what I'm seeing, I really only get colds (starting to think what I have no isn't a cold now though because it's been kinda severe) once every 4 or 5 years but I'll give it a shot next time if I remember.
No it's not extremely accurate and it becomes less accurate the more times someone takes one or knows about the tests. But it is the only scale we have to gauge intelligence. In the same sense that if I don't have a measuring tape to tell you how long a stick is, I can give you a rough idea through many hand-widths long it is.
I don't know about others, but I refer to intelligence as the broad dictionary definition of someones ability to learn, that pattern recognition and problem solving. Learning in itself is a skill, which is why there are courses in post secondary that are specifically focused on teaching you how to study and learn efficiently. If what you're hung up on is whether or not intelligence can be increased through education or even at all through your life then I say with pretty good certainty, based on what we know so far, intelligence is absolutely something that requires work through your life to increase.
You need exposure to data, concepts, ideas, and even other people's ways of thinking to reach your full potential. I'll leave you with a scientific journal specifically analyzing the genetic and environmental factors (including education) that affect cognitive ability.
Ugh I hope it isn't covid. I don't have time for that. My throat doesn't hurt when I drink or eat, it's just painful when I'm trying to sleep because it gets so dry. The headache lasted about 4 days but I've had a few episodes of cluster headaches in the past that felt the same. Same spot on my head and frequency so I wrote it off as stress and lack of sleep triggering it. Almost no sneezing, mild cough with clear mucus. Night sweats the last couple days but it's been 6 days already so hopefully I've gotten through most of it. I think you're right though, it seems worse than just a cold.
