Yes that is true! I did a little extra digging and found some more studies. This one, 'Pharmacological REM sleep suppression paradoxically improves rather than impairs skill memory', found that SSRIs did not, in fact, affect the creation of new memories. The study 'Sleep and cognition at baseline and the effects of REM sleep diminution after 1 week of antidepressive treatment in patients with depression' similarly found 'no negative effects of a decrease in REM sleep on memory performance in patients taking antidepressants' in their study using SSRIs and SNRIs. Both studies here may imply that new memories can be created during sleep even in the absence of REM sleep.

I just looked it up and turns out the claim that it was a joke might have been a hoax itself, so I've got no clue anymore.

Meanwhile, ask for some Cajun Sparkle the next time you're at Popeye's. ✨🍗✨

I thought it was Hayden that was caught lying before congress?

Adding again, many use MSG being bad to justify their own racism. The ingredient has been racialized even though it's in many processed foods.

So yes and no to it being that simple. For understandings sake, you can say that it is that simple, you burn the food, some energy is lost from the food as it turns into energy/matter in other forms(matter and energy can be converted to each other), the total amount of energy never changes, only where and how its stored. On the other end of the complexity spectrum, what actually is happening when you burn that food, is alot more meticulous, for anyone's liking, even the people who study things like molecular physics lol.

Space is not a perfect vacuum, it is just a system with very low pressure. You will find atoms even between galaxies.

The solar wind is particles that is ejected from the sun and move away from it in all direction in space. There is very little interaction between the particle not like on earth where there is quite a lot of interaction. So wind is a bit of a metaphor. The solar wind is more like the sun spraying out particles in all directions.

The solar wind does interact with other stuff in the solar system. It is in large part charged particles and some will be redirected by earth's magnetic field. Northern/Southern light is a result of the interaction with the solar wind and the top of our atmosphere

It wasn't split into two, it was split into 4, and later became two.

The allies divided up Germany (and Austria) each into 4 sectors (American, British, French, and Soviet). However, they also decided that Berlin so was important, they they would also split Berlin into 4 sectors as well, despite it being inside of the Soviet sector.

Eventually, the American, British, and French sectors of Germany combined to form a singular West Germany, this included their sectors of Berlin as well. The Soviet Sector, including their part of Berlin, became East Germany.

Berlin was the capital, so it was too important to give to one country, so it got divided separately from the rest of Germany. It’s also worth noting that these territories were supposed to be temporary administrative regions until Germany had its own government that the UK, US, France and USSR were happy with. The issue is that it took decades to reach that point.

They are not winds in an earth bound sense. They are charged particles released by stars, and are plasma made of electrons. They are projected outwards by reactions in the star, and essentially vibrate their way through space. They do not "blow" like air molecules moving on earth.

You’re right. He used the name “Dr. Ho Man Kwok”

> Eggs are 10-11% glutamic acid.

Nope. Eggs are 0.12% glutamic acid.

Adding on, glutamic acid is widely found in meats, and in certain other foods such as seaweed, kelp, and yeast. (Yeast extract may appear in some ingredient lists as a sneaky way of adding glutamates without listing MSG.) Your body needs and wants this.

Meanwhile, the sodium part of MSG might cause some concerns if you have a restrictive diet. MSG is just one of many, many sodium sources that aren't table salt.

Dunno, but at university the math society was abbreviated to math soc, with a hard c. So it was probably already a common abbreviation, and soccer came naturally later.

Have you ever seen these water balls which absorb a lot of water and become really big? They still feel solid, even though they are full of water. Human body is basically the same.

We used to believe dreaming always happened in REM sleep, but we've later discovered that's not actually true. It can happen in the other stages as well, most often in NR3 and least often in NR1.

But it's also possible it was "hypnogogic hallucinations," which can be a dream-like state as you're falling asleep. If you've had the experience of thinking about something and suddenly jerking awake (hypnogogic jerks) and feeling like you were in a light dream, it was probably that an not a "true" dream (if the two can even be fully distinguished, I'm not up to date on the research). For me, whether by jerking awake, or rolling over, or something else, I often "wake up" from a hypnogogic hallucination and find myself feeling well-rested, regardless of how tired I was just a few minutes previous.

see my other comment. the point is more that you are accounting for the loss inherent in analog to analog transfer. cell to film. film to film. film to analog. analog to crt. even just correcting for exposure in the film process you’re playing chicken between contrast and detail. that’s why those settings on tvs exist. it was very messy.

have you ever had to juggle a v-hold dial?

that’s why i put ‘dynamic range’ in quotes because it’s really about corrections to your detail and contrast and what gets lost, rather than the absolute capability of the signal, but it was the broadest answer without talking about things like photoshop exposure levels.

It very well could! That’s a little beyond my knowledge level, I did some googling because I like the topic but couldn’t tell you. I wouldn’t be surprised if there was some method to get rid of sediment after aging, it’s a very different grade but I’ve had aged cinnamon and rose petal mead and I bet coal filtration would have made that a much better experience.

Gotta love head-brick
