  • We Just Got More Evidence That Long COVID Is a Brain Injury

    跳过

  • As someone with long COVID, I can vouch the debilitating mental effects. I was teaching math to 4th through 8th grade students when I got it. I can remember standing in a classroom talking about a lesson and just having my mind go blank in mid sentence. I couldn't function. Not knowing what I was talking about or even where I was. Thankfully the students where very understanding and someone would finish my point I was making. I still suffer from it yet today, nearly 2 years later.

    I have respiratory issues despite every CT scan showing nothing more than a couple of small pneumonia scars form long ago. I should be able to breathe just fine with no reduction of lung capacity. It stems from a lack coordination with my diaphragm - It runs backwards when I exert myself causing shortness of breath. Another sign of probable brain injury. And despite using a therapy tool to try and fix the issue, at best it just helps a little.

    The upshot is I have pretty much stopped doing a lot of things I used to do because of the difficulties breathing and I spend a lot more time away from people due to an unreasonable fear of COVID.

    It has caused me to retire earlier than I wanted to. And my life has greatly changed - and not for the better either.

  • There has been an effort improve the usability of the GUI. And a pointed effort to create a unified and default assembly workbench that actually works, (it seems off to a good start). Some improvements to the CAM workbench and several others. But much of what other things have been done are relatively minor like improving the solvers ability to create fillets and chamfers without failure.

    But honestly, Ondsel has been very open that the main goal with the 1.0 release is the TPN resolution and far less about new features.

  • I didn't say it should be stressful, I said it should be "work." There is a big difference.

  • If you're fine with the risk of a possible ecological disaster, then kill them all off. But remember, killing all the wolves was also thought to be a great idea at one time. Fortunately, we weren't able to achieve that goal before discovering we were wrong. Such decisions are final and can't be undone if they go wrong.

    The hubris is in the idea, that with such a long human track record of being wrong about such things, is executing a such total and final idea is the right thing to do. But go ahead and do it. I'll be safely dead when the error might be discovered.

  • It's a nice thought, but it has so many modifiers it's pretty much worthless. Everything from road conditions, to time of day or night, to the size and weight and type of vehicle you are driving, to how old you are affects stopping distance and the interval you should be leaving.

    Remember children - Driving should never be "relaxing." It's real work and demands your total concentration to protect yourself and everyone around you. So put the phone down and even turn off the radio. Put your head on a swivel like a fighter pilot. And have an escape plan for every inch you drive.

  • Yes I know. And maybe those studies are fully correct. I certainly have no way to cross check them. So you and I must take them at face value.

    But even science will tell you that you should have at least some skepticism of such studies. Because it always seems like we miss some tiny important detail that only reveals it's self later as we refine our knowledge on a subject.

  • That is the case. But it does not make it any less true. Those with weapons are harder to assassinate than those of us without weapons. Again, it's a class thing and you and I are not a part of that class.

  • It's a nice idea. But I wonder what the long term ramifications might be. What ripple effects might happen that we can't see today that end up being problems in the future.

    Human history is littered with such problems.

  • Thank you! Not enough tea yet I guess.

  • Undercooked bear meat linked to outbreak of rare parasitic disease in U.S.

  • Other than the large number of people, this is not much of a story. Living in a place where bear hunting has a legal season, ( it just finished up here), how to properly cook bear meat is well known. So the risk is virtually zero. This sounds like a case of an ignorant cook serving badly prepared food. Not much different than a cook serving salad greens that were improperly washed and poisoning a large number of people with salmonella.

    The moral of the story is: Learn how to cook foods properly with proper sanitation if you are going to serve a bunch of people. And the knowledge of how to it properly is a mere google search away.

  • Only one was prevented. The 3rd one, the person had no plans or interest in an assassination attempt. He was simply in the wrong place at the wrong time.

    Edited for missing critical word. Thanks to Warl0k3@lemmy for the proof read!

  • A couple of media places did release a very short blurb in small print that the "suspect" had no plans to assassinate anyone according to law enforcement after a short investigation.

  • Yep, 80% of the time it works every time!

    The point is, if you fix things, you WILL run into left handed threads at some point. I've found them in washers, vacuums, blenders, bikes, and cars. Left handed threads aren't the most common thing, but they are out there waiting to screw with your mind and ruin your day.......

  • Spindles and shafting are places you can find left handed threads. And it depends on the direction of rotation like that bike crank. Can't have things coming lose due to the way bike cranks turn, so they a left handed thread to stay tight.

    It took me a long to time learn that when dealing with such things that I need to stop, look, and think about how things are assembled and why.
