Reply to Researchers found that joint play of two individuals, induced robust between-brain synchronization in parts of the brain, as if the two brains functioned together as a single system by giuliomagnifico

Definitely makes sense to my experience. I used to play FPS games in pro tournaments and one of my guildmates and I were a two-man strike team, and we could know instinctively where each other were on the map and what we were doing.

Reply to comment by [deleted] in A study in the US has found, compared to unvaccinated people, protection from the risk of dying from COVID during the six-month omicron wave for folks who had two doses of an mRNA vaccine was 42% for 40- to 59-year-olds; 27% for 60- to 79-year-olds; and 46% for people 80 and older. by Wagamaga

> Does the car have airbags or not, to fit your analogy.

You can still die in an accident with airbags. Which type of airbags, which direction of collision, what's your speed? What is the frame of your car made out of? What was your body position at the time of the accident? Was your seatbelt fitted perfectly?

Only magical amulets imbue absolute protection.

Reply to comment by Mavyalex in Men with prostate cancer who also had relatives affected by the disease – or by other cancers with an inherited element like breast, ovarian or bowel cancer – were up to a fifth less likely to die from prostate cancer or any cause compared with those with no family history of cancer by giuliomagnifico

Have any of your immediate relatives tested for genetic markers, or had prostate or breast cancer?

Reply to New study shows Acceleration of global sea level rise imminent past 1.8℃ planetary warming by 9273629397759992

Plain language summary:

A team of international scientists has published a study in Nature Communications which warns that if global temperatures cannot be stabilized below 1.8°C, the West Antarctic and Greenland ice sheets will be lost and sea levels will rapidly rise. The study states that this increase in sea level would be on top of other contributions, such as the thermal expansion of ocean water. The study highlights the need for computer models to capture all components of the climate, as well as new observational programs to accurately represent physical processes in the ice sheets. If global net zero carbon emissions cannot be reached by 2060, then sea levels will continue to rise by at least 100 cm within the next 130 years. This would be on top of other contributions, such as the thermal expansion of ocean water.
