Our species probably won't discover the stars in the way you imagine. Our existence is already made worthwhile, from the perspective of having an impact. We poisoned our environment and killed almost all wildlife while using up millions of years of compressed sun energy within a few centuries. Unless we somehow find another source of energy on the same magnitude, our technologically prepped up society won't even make it through the next 200 years. Never mind making it off this planet.

So I don’t have to worry about the 9 lines of Coke I railed in 2 minutes as long as I do it outside and with friends right?

Half the things on this subreddit are actually not very uplifting and instead dystopian. "Small child pays for cancer treatment through poorly paid labor" and such. This just follows that pattern.

Excellent question. I try to avoid antibiotics as much as I can, but got strep a month ago and had to go on clavamox. The happy flora that usually make my reproductive area peaceful are still rebuilding their population.

Person lives in location A. Takes the train to location B every day. Needs to travel from train station in B to school/work in B. Easiest to do by bike, but super inconvenient to drag a bike along on the train each day.
So that person keeps a second bike (usually an older crappier one) in location B and stores it in the bike parking lot at the train station.

If it's anywhere like CFS has been to my experience then it probably means than the long covid patients has been bullied and gaslighted enough by the medical community so they don't have any reason left to go to the doctor and report their symptoms.

In my first ever trip to Europe, I hit about 5 countries, including the Netherlands. Apart from the cool things Reddit assumes about the country in terms of its green and athletic approach to getting around, the people were truly amazing. First evening in Amsterdam and we hit a restaurant for dinner, and my wife and I were invited to sit with another couple at the restaurant and we spoke for 2-3 hours.

>just that it's a lot for a underwater bike garage...that seems very impractical. You can easily store bikes at home, and it allows instant access to the bike. You can also check his edit and he clarifies his issue with it.
Which is all complete nonsense.
This garage is not a replacement for home storage – they're not stupid. Perhaps you didn't read the article beyond the title, but this is a garage at Amsterdam's central railway station. It's intended to (1) hold one's bike when one rides to the station to take the train, or perhaps more commonly given its city-center location, (2) hold one's second commute bike. That's a thing because there isn't enough room for everyone to take their bicycles onto the train. Many people thus have one bike they keep at home to ride to their local train station, and then another at the station near their workplace to complete the commute once they get off the train.
60 million Euros is not crazy for these large and highly-trafficked facilities (underground bicycle garages of comparable sizes in Utrecht and Den Haag in less challenging geology/geography cost 30-50 million), and not even remotely enough to "revamp every bike stall in the country" when there are 23 million bikes there.
It's not "a trek" nor "inconvenient" nor "impractical", because again you're not walking from home to this garage just to ride around the neighborhood, and also because it's right in front of the station it serves, connected directly with a tunneled passage. He's fabricating drama without knowing anything about the garage or the country.

When I got Covid over a year ago, I ended up having Parosmia, meaning things just smelled and tasted awful, just a year to date later, it began to completely diminish, at least as far as my sense of taste.

We closed the ozone hole. So it's not all bad for climate change.
grandmasterfunc t1_j671vx9 wrote
People with long covid regularly get told by doctors that they have anxiety, not long covid. Large chunks of the medical establishment minimizes or disbelieves long covid symptoms. They already do this for MECFS, fibromyalgia, and other post viral illnesses.
Please don't believe this article, it's trying to hide real people's debilitating illnesses so society can go "back to normal".

Okay for those interested.
- AI was trained chatgpt-style, but instead of letters were amino-acids, instead of words genes, instead of sentences, proteins.
- Just like with text-processing AIs, the proteins created by this AI were like proteins AI has "seen" before. AI changed some "words", but did it in a way that proteins still worked, and folded similarly to existing ones. Which is an impressive feat, and also fun thing that trying to put the words in sentence so they would make sense and putting aminos in the chain so they would made sense were very similar processes
- Some (but not all) of proteins created actually worked to kill bacteria (it was not tested whether they only kill bacteria).
