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
That reminds me of a study I read where depression can lead to memory dysfunction. Memory dysfunction was in a story I read about depression.
But, yeah, all joking aside, I super relate to this.

Reply to Scientists have figured out a way to engineer wood to trap carbon dioxide through a potentially scalable, energy-efficient process that also makes the material stronger for use in construction by giuliomagnifico
Isn't that called photosynthesis? I believe trees have been doing that since they evolved

Reply to Religious Hermit Found Buried in The Fetal Position. The woman buried was living with septic arthritis and also advanced venereal syphilis. This would have meant she lived with severe, visible symptoms of infection affecting her entire body, and later on, neurological and mental health decline by Wagamaga
I can’t believe they know the exact name

Cool science, but scalable seems a bit of stretch.

Reply to Globally, the total cost of energy for households has likely increased between 62.6% and 112.9% since Russia invaded Ukraine, say international researchers. An additional 78–141 million people worldwide could be pushed into extreme poverty as a result of these increases. by MistWeaver80
Newsflash - neoliberal policy making has caused unnecessary increases in energy prices for generations. Why do prices increase? - to easily uphold and leverage power.

Spain does/will have a windfall tax on banks and energy companies.

You mean Putin found an easy way to source some funds for his invasion of Ukraine?

Idk what ima do. I have 500$ left and don't make much money but my bills have gone nuts, same with food prices. Luckily my wife should be getting a better job in April but it's absolutely demoralizing.

112% must be conservative. My bill was £80 per month before. Now it's £400.

Reply to comment by nickyfrags69 in Psychedelics activate the same receptors as serotonin, so why aren't we always tripping? Psychedelics may cause neuronal plasticity and relieve depression by activating intracellular serotonin receptors that serotonin itself cannot, suggests a new study. by rjmsci
Interestingly enough Ketamine actually does have activity at 5-HT2 receptors.

This is the problem with fossil fuels and their centralized nature. The poorest people and nations are the most dependent and therefore the most vulnerable to price shocks.
Rich people can install solar, batteries, heavily insulate their homes, retrofit boilers and heaters. They can switch to EVs. They can absorb higher energy costs but they can also afford to avoid them together.
It really highlights how we made a mess of this transition. We should have pulled subsidies from fossil fuel companies and used the money to build out a green economy from the ground up and we should have started decades ago.

our electric bill is never over 72-75$ USD a month here in Pennsylvania USA... used to be 55-60$ but they did tell us an increase was coming. Still reasonable. (for now.. )

Different sides of the same coin. The reliance on marginal suppliers has massively increased, which has pushed up prices for the whole sector, which has resulted in massive profits for everyone.
If your really need X barrels of oil and a marginal supplier can squeeze you for those last few barrels well… suck it up because that’s the new price of oil. There is nothing else that can be done; your demand isn’t elastic. Demand has to be killed with declining economic activity until we are back to balance.

I feel like my brain never went back to the way it was before, and maybe it never will
