Reply to comment by lurkerer in Mindfulness-based attention training vastly improves the focus and emotional regulation of high school students by TimTars
Try progressive muscle relaxation. Also, as far as mindfulness and thought patterns, Mentalization Based approaches are very promising for "calming" down automatic responses in one's thoughts and behaviors.

Reply to comment by puravida4321 in Mindfulness-based attention training vastly improves the focus and emotional regulation of high school students by TimTars
I work in a forensic hospital: it's a fairly low distraction environment but we do a mindfulness hour and a more involved meditation hour each once a week. My individuals seem to like those groups the most, it helps them "reset" from stressful court hearings and evaluations or when a processing group unzips a little too much.
If mindfulness is your jam, I highly recommend looking into more advanced forms of meditation, both for emotional well being and growth.

That isn’t inherent to the term (which also applies to cell culture studies) - pharmacologic ascorbate typically just means > 1 mM, which yes is only possible in human serum via IV

I believe the problem in depression (and addiction specifically) is being unable to be motivated towards behaviors that once were motivative rather than being unable to do something even if motivation is present.

Reply to comment by [deleted] in Climate change and the projected savannization of the Brazilian Amazon threaten most land-based mammals that live there, new research shows. The “savannization” here refers to when lush rainforest gives way to a drier, open landscape that resembles savanna but is actually degraded forest. by MistWeaver80
Everything country with very large populations is stalling or already currently going down. What more do you want dude?

Partially correct doesn't mean much, and this is only one limited study. Whackadoos can be right once a day, and all that.

If I have cancer I will also gladly accept harmful side effects if the issue is treated, at the expense of myself. You'd have to be a dolt not to.

That isn't all it means, it means it needs to be administered via IV, it will not reach blood serum levels high enough if you take it orally, regardless of how much you take, you are just wasting it.

In d&d 5e it would have a movement speed of 108,156 feet if that helps
216,312 feet if it took a dash action

You can't ask that kind of question without understanding the physics behind standardized measurements. What is the viscosity of the milk? i.e. whole milk or 2%? What is the relative humidity? Are the bowls glass or plastic?
The Cereal Experimentation Regulation Normalization board (CERN) has spent literally billons of dollars to analyze and study the sounds cereal makes and to standardize noise comparisons. At their cereal study facility in Switzerland they collide Rice Krispies at neatly the speed of light to calculate the noise they make.

Reply to Scientists create carbon nanotubes out of plastic waste using an energy-efficient, low-cost, low-emissions process. Compared to commercial methods for carbon nanotube production that are being used right now, ours uses about 90% less energy and generates 90%-94% less carbon dioxide by Wagamaga
And will be rejected because it’s too efficient.

Did you see that plants are moving 4 times faster than anticipated and at the same time not fast enough to keep pace with the temperature change.

As far as I know, it’s the average cost of electricity required for the flash plus a few other components. At scale and overtime it will pay for the construction materials. With the product being sold at a profit, that would help to pay for wages, etc.
But I think one hugely overlooked item is that that vast majority of their materials will be … free. waste is already waste, and given that recycling is costly and time consuming, this will be a cheaper option. If anything companies will begin to pay to have their waste turned into graphene. So in terms of raw materials, their expenditure is nearly nothing.
This article is okay at covering some of the fundamentals (e. g. The actual published work in the journal) but not super great at looking at the wider picture.
