What's really sad is when people perpetuate religion through ignorance.

As long as that climate action being taken doesn't mean more communism.

When I bought my condo it had a carpeted 2nd bathroom. Everything else in the condo was of similar "just get it done so we can sell it" quality.

Whoops - sorry - should have clarified. I meant any additional studies that validate this statement. This statement defies common sense from those of us in the real world who are surrounded by Covid victims of all age groups who have shown no long Covid symptoms 3 months after initial infection.

I guess the truth does hurt.

20 years ago when I was doing my PhD I became friends with a bunch of climatologists as our offices were next to each other. Their view was that the model is always lagging behind, because we first need to observe the effect to include it into the model.
So whatever the model is telling us, the things will get worse faster than that. If the model is saying that 2 degC increase is safe, that's probably not true and we should aim for 1.5. We already burned through 1 degC increase, so things are not looking good.

What do you mean “state your study”? It’s a direct quote from the article the post is about

My parents have a shag rug right in front of the toilet to keep the feet warm. I push it aside with my shoe in disgust when I visit.

believing in god doesn’t inherently mean you believe god has the power to affect your physical health.
it’s also sad when people perpetuate stereotypes about religion through ignorance.

Reply to Depression can lead to memory dysfunction. This study may pave way for new drugs. Results of a large study involving brain scans show that patients with moderate to severe depression have 7-10 per cent fewer serotonin 4 receptors in the brain than healthy test subjects. by Wagamaga

I don't understand the value of this research. Depression has been known to correlate with memory dysfunction and decreased hippocampal volume. 5-HT4 (serotonin 4) receptors have been known to be involved with memory, and the structural plasticity effects within the hippocampus.
However, compared to other serotonin receptors, the function of 5-HT4 throughout the brain and periphery is diverse and complex — which makes sense when considering how relatively large / complicated the gene encoding 5-HT4 is, and how little is known about the regulation of its transcription.
There is strong evidence regarding the involvement of 5-HT4 in depression, but imaging that quantifies global reductions is completely insufficient. Humans show different responses in 5-HT4R expression in different brain regions. SSRIs have been shown to decrease global 5-HT4 binding. Depressed suicide victims show increased 5-HT4 receptor binding in the caudate nucleus and frontal cortex.
This study has zero value in paving the way for new drugs.

Very interesting. This begs the question of whether serotonin impacting medications (SSRIs, etc) affect memory performance in people with and without depression.

For the most part I think that dogs just want to do what you want them to do.
