With a club for a tail
And a back full of spikes
This Dino was strong
As an Army tank, Yikes!

Reply to comment by SLR_ZA in Earth's inner core seems to be slowing its spin according to new research published in Nature Geoscience. The study authors suggest this might be part of an approximately 70-year cycle where the core speeds up and slows down relative to the rest of the planet. by shiruken

I've seen it in person twice and he's just as amazing each time. The eyes look like they could come alive at any minute. It's a shame the digging that found it also crushed the hind end but what a find. They have a model of its head next to the case that you can pet and you bet I have.
Edit: also I was just in Drumheller last September and the same weekend, someone found what appears to be a whole hadrosaur just sticking out of the stratigraphy in the hills. I love that hellscape so much.

trauma makes the predisposition to it come forth
genetics still plays an important role itself, due to gene expression.
just like gestational exposure of air pollution to a mother can increase the odds of autism spectrum disorder.

Causes of ADHD
Brain injury.
Exposure to environmental risks (e.g., lead) during pregnancy or at a young age.
Alcohol and tobacco use during pregnancy.
Premature delivery.
Low birth weight.

Prenatal exposure to polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, or PAH, a component of air pollution, raises the odds of behavior problems associated with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, or ADHD, at age 9, according to researchers at the Columbia Center for Children's Environmental Health at the Mailman School of ...Nov 5, 2014

boys tend to have the greatest risk of inheriting or ending up adhd
air pollution is liable to be one of the main causes of why so many more kids are being born neurodivergent
never mind all the chemicals in the water, especially here in illinois with the coal ash and pesticides/herbicides which end up back in the water supplies (this is also why kidney disease is the largest death machine in illinois)
brains are sensitive organs. it does not take much to mess them up
and ptsd/cptsd/neglect/sexual abuse/physical abuse can mess up a young mind like a grenade will mess up an apple tree

Except plenty of people have ADHD without those issues. Itoesbt make sense. If trauma caused it, they'd have been shouting it from the rooftops decades ago.

>use a reactor to convert it to meth, which is an excellent idea considering how many people are addicted to meth and will want to smoke it right up.
Is this a joke or are you serious? Methanol is not the same as methamphetamine (aka meth).

Methanol is not a byproduct of carbon capture. Converting captured CO2 into methanol is an active step with the intention of creating methanol.

Well, from what I have read about ADHD it’s mostly genetic but also brain trauma (child abuse).
https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/attention-deficit-hyperactivity-disorder-adhd/causes/
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6864256/
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6013278/
ADHD effects executive functioning which is directly related to how someone deals with stress or emotional regulation. So, a parent with ADHD may be more prone to spanking their kids or yelling at their kids- thus abuse may be more prevalent in their family history and “normalized.” And as ADHD parents tend to have ADHD kids, the emotional regulation issues create a vicious cycle.
This being said: a lot of the articles I have read don’t argue causative (mostly correlative) because of the genetic factors at play.
Recently I’ve been thinking that a lot of my parents behavior and addictions are all symptoms of adhd. So there is that.

“The correlation was not found in sons.”
Sons with hot moms have it rough this makes total sense

The process of how it was preserved is almost as exciting as the discovery.
Almost.

True. The various religions run the gamut as far as how they decide to practice, however. From in name only - to ultra orthodox.

No, no, it's fine.

Just like it says, a near-whole ankylosaur was found, and as of today it remains found. ;)
