You’re making a bad assumption. There is no such this as good or bad food. Period.

What there is are good and bad choices pertaining to food. It’s more math based than anything. If you have 2000 calories a day in your food budget, and you are going to bed eating only 1400 calories, 600 calories of ice cream is a good choice because your body is under calorie and fat requirement for the day. If you’re already at 2200 calories for the day, an organic whole grain avocado sandwich with extra virgin oil and organic apples is a bad choice and will cause weight gain because you’re over budget.

High calorie foods taste good because evolution wise they help us survive better. 99.9% of human history people were malnourished, and high calorie high fat foods meant survival.

if it fits your macros is a science and math based “diet”

We're hardcoded to enjoy eating stuff with too much sugar, salt and fat because thousands of years ago those foods were not that common and our body requires them.

Now they are way too common, but our bodies still crave them.

Midwest is very unstable weather-wise because it’s wide open to both wet and hot air from the Caribbean and cold and dry air from the arctic. In the winter the jet stream drops down to lower altitude, and due to climate change there are signs that it’s actually weakening which allows for more frequent/deeper blobs of arctic air dropping far south; those fronts collide with warm air, push it up, drain it of moisture and once stabilized bring cold but sunny days.

When you're a small child in the process of growing up, one of the things you do is integrate together all your emotional states and brain functions into a single cohesive identity for yourself. If something very bad happens to you at that age, sometimes the process of integration doesn't happen properly, and you end up with two or more emotional states that don't feel like being the same person, with different sets of memories and different sets of cognitive abilities accessible in each. That's DID. There's a few related dissociative disorders (such as OSDD-1B) which are fairly similar, but differ in what's shared and what's separate between the different emotional states.

Also, some people seem to end up in a state similar to DID from prolonged overuse of certain drugs (e.g., ketamine) or by having a childhood that wasn't quite bad enough to develop DID followed by something very bad happening to them in adulthood.

I worked with a child who was literally starving to death and couldn't eat for more than a minute a day (complicated reasons, parents refused tube feeding and courts were siding with the parents, at least temporarily.).

The medical advice was to feed the highest calorie creamy dessert we could find to get the most calories inside her in the shortest time.

That's a great question! It's certainly possible that the correlation is biologically innate, as it does appear to be universal. However, it could also be that we've developed an association between certain musical patterns and certain emotions over time. It could be a combination of both. It's really fascinating to think about!

Place something underwater, and the pressure of the water all around it will try to push the water in to any small gaps or spaces in the casing.

Depth is important because the deeper underwater you are, the greater the pressure you experience will be - so the deeper you go the harder the water is trying to be pushed into the device.

Time matters because once you reach a pressure where fluid can leak in, this still takes a while to happen. If your gasket is 1mm thick, and the water will be able to push through that seal at a speed of 0.1mm/minute, then your device will stay dry for up to ten minutes, but after that point the water will potentially have compromised it.

So when manufacturers test a device, they choose a pressure and time to test for and to rate the device as.
