Reply to comment by redvodkandpinkgin in 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 found it. It was this paper. For 85% of people SSRIs are no better than placebo.

But this way can be monetised.

Reply to comment by AutomaticOrange4417 in Scientists find people with Long Covid have 2 major cytokines of the immune system (IL-8, IFN-γ) reduced by 100% by sagdiyev1
Up to half in 3 months is simply not a believable figure/statement based on real world anecdotal experience - and how can "unrealized symptoms" not impacting life functions in any way as implied by some be measured from a practical perspective? Also agreed that "up to half" could technically mean anything less than 50% but implies something close to 50% or the statement is meaningless.

Reply to comment by FraseraSpeciosa in 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
>people still fall for the logical fallacies she did.
She didn't fall for a logical fallacy. With the information she had at the time (apparently this was very early for syphilis), she made the most logical decision for her life.
People today have the opportunity to understand more of the underlying science. They're different and we shouldn't insult this woman comparing her to current events.

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
From Norway. My electric bill is around 100% more. Fuel is at least 50% more expensive. Food and groseries some products are doubled in price and most other is 25%> increased. And norway do produce both electric and petrol....

If there’s a god who only understands his own plan let’s hope it’s not through the eyes of the things we kill he’s seeing.

I've seen it in my adult lifetime. I first started climbing in the Wind River Range in the late 1980's. Today the entire species composition of the upper basins has changed.

Reply to comment by joxeloj 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
MDMA is both a serotonin releasing agent and a psychedelic off the top of my mind.

Come on this headline has to be like a little bit of a joke right... The wood is already trapped carbon.

I wonder if psychedelic drugs can improve memory function. LSD, psilocybin, and MDMA are serotonin receptor agonists.

Oh since Russia invaded? Now let’s see the numbers from when Biden and his cronies blew up the Nordstream pipeline to let the private corps come to the rescue. You know, for science

This uses wood as a sorbent to capture CO2 from a gas stream (targeting combustion exhaust) with the CO2 then being released and the sorbent used again. It is not an option for long-term storage.

For the month of December, yes. It highly affects those who heat up their houses with radiators using only electricity. The price in December per kWh was about $0,4. As of February its below $0,1 per kWh. I lowered the temperature at home which is 200m2 to 17 degrees and was able to keep my bill at $500. We are getting refunds by government subsidies now however to cover for the higher costs.

I don't know the study you reference, but SSRIs and SNRIs were shown to improve depression over placebos countless times for a long time now. It's no miracle, mind you, but it still works at least better than nothing

SCIENTISTS have found a NEW WAY to generate PROFIT that justifies a huge COMPANY... Instead of planting trees which is the cheaper, better, more environmental solution.
'Carbon capture', I'm taking about you specifically.
Honestly, so many solutions can be had if we just accept a tiny reduction in economic output and restructure our economies by the tiniest amounts

Yes this is what photosynthesis does
