The way I read this sounds like "50% of the time, it works 100% of the time"

There is a theory that one of the cold coronaviruses was the origin of the 1889 pandemic. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8441924/

Yeah right try to paint your cataract effect with a cataract. A bit like composing symphonies when you are deaf. Oh wait ...

Reply to comment by ImportantRope in New study links psychedelic drug experience to certain positive health behaviors - A new online survey of U.S. adults indicates that people who report using any of the classic psychedelics at least once in their lives also reported smoking cigarettes less often and eating healthier diets. by mossadnik
I’d say you can make an argument. Eg. That’s why such drugs can be used effectively in all sorts of therapy. So I believe it’s plausible.
However, the folks i known who are interested and favour psychedelic drugs where a bit more sophisticated than for examples heavy alcohol users (and certainly would never do illegal drugs). That’s were a survey is heavily biased.

I caught omicron just over 12 months ago from kids who got it at school. There have been a few Covid outbreaks this winter in their class too but we have avoided getting it so far. Though I’m suspicious we could have picked up an asymptomatic infection this year instead?

Not saying my personal anecdotes are data, but in my experience my trips always lead to me examining my health and things I could be doing better on. A couple I knew was going through a handle of whiskey a week during the pandemic, and one trip on mushrooms led to them not touching it for over 6 months, which is awesome for them.
Not saying that proves any thing causally, but I'd be interested in study results that explored it a bit more because it would be awesome if it could help people.

I thought it was just his eyes changing from having cataracts. It's a known fact he had cataracts. You can see the colors shift from cool tones to reds on the water lily paintings.

Wonderful. Meanwhile it matters not to the many issues we face on Earth. Navel-gazing at its finest.

Don’t see how you can draw the conclusion of individuals sound level. I’m pretty sure we are not the same in that regard. I love working in the evening, everything is quite. A barista might find that spooky.

Top-level comment may indicate user(s) who do not read comments preceding theirs.
From the linked summary^1 for D. Kossakowski, et al.,^2 in my excerpt comment:^3
>Although the rotation of this planet, named Wolf 1069 b, is probably tidally locked to its path around the parent star, the team is optimistic it may provide durable habitable conditions across a wide area of its dayside.
>The absence of any apparent stellar activity or intense UV radiation increases the chances that Wolf 1069 b could have retained much of its atmosphere.

I'm just going to say my kids watched a lot of PBS before elementary school and have none of these issues. They are all wonderful, kind students who appreciate school, learning, and respect their classmates. I expect there is more to be this story than a simple screen time correlation.

Getting an early start on the brain damage. How profitable.

It’s interesting that correlation often is expressed in a way to indicate a narrative or causality.
Like poor people become criminals vs criminals are often poor.

What momentary increases there have been in violence among the general constant downtrend of violence as Boomers age out is directly attributable to gun access.

My friend, that is the direct (and knock-on) result of Bush’s No Child Left Behind program for defunding schools and its prioritization of education metrics over education.

I'd be curious as to see the math for that. It may be accurate, but its a pretty weird stat to be using, even if it is. Which I am doubting.
I'm seeing stats saying roughly 6 million hospitalizations so far, and roughly 100 million cases.
There have been roughly 670 million vaccine doses. If it took 70,000 doses to prevent a hospitalization, that would mean the vaccine has only prevented roughly 10,000 hospitalizations vs the 6 million total. That doesn't remotely add up, considering most of the research puts the odds of hospitalization at about 10x higher for the unvaccinated.
I'll gladly look at your source material if you want to provide it.
