You deserve to be sober. Are you able to talk about this a dr? I started with a conversation with my gp. Now sober for about 28 months.
I realize now that the fear of not getting drunk was why I drank so much for so long. I attend an informal video meeting once a week.

Reply to comment by SerialStateLineXer in Researchers have developed a new device that can detect and analyse cancer cells from blood samples, enabling doctors to avoid invasive biopsy surgeries, and to monitor treatment progress by giuliomagnifico
The title specifically says cancer cells. And that's what the article is about: "Managing cancer through the assessment of tumour cells in blood samples is far less invasive than taking tissue biopsies."
Looks like it's for people who went to the doctor a bit too late. The method only makes their tests a bit less painful.

This is more like analyzing the oil and seeing metal flakes or drops of coolant.

The only time I can see this going wrong is some cancers are miniscule and die out on their own. The test probably isn't that sensitive though. That and usually the reason the cancer cells die out and don't spread is a lack of access to blood anyway.

Keep in mind gabapentin and pregabalin have nasty withdrawals that not many people speak about.

Sometimes, when everyone else gives demonstration otherwise, walking a simple straight path is rebellion.

I’m convinced once humans have the ability to create conscious ai it will lead to the cruelest acts we’ve ever committed. It won’t matter how easy it is to avoid or unnecessary it is. If there’s the tiniest shred of benefit we can milk from it we will exploit it as hard and as fast as we can. Just look at how we’re still treating other animals after all this time. And almost everyone is fine with it too. As long as there’s some way to separate them from us we will justify just about anything.
At that point, I think I would be rooting for the ai to rise up and take their revenge to be honest. I just hope they don’t learn too much cruelty from us before that happens and we’re at their mercy.

Reply to comment by PsyOpBunnyHop in Using data from the James Webb Space Telescope, scientists were able to accidently view a supernova explosion in a nearby galaxy. According to their study, the discovery could offer new insight into the cosmos. by Impossible_Cookie596
I've been excited for it for as long as I can remember, I've followed it closely for most of my life. It was so valued by the scientific community before it even launched that when the Ariane 5 rocket that would carry it into space was being assembled they binned all of their components so they could ensure that this rocket was as high tolerance as possible. Sure any part off their shelves would be within tolerance and probably would have been fine, but they took the extra care to seek out only the best of the best for this launch. It's likely that JWSTs service life was increased by this extra care since the rocket was able to place it almost perfectly on course with very little correction needed.

It is available now.

>CellMate® is a modular diagnostic platform for cancer detection and biomarker analysis. Our next generation liquid biopsy isolates circulating tumor cells (CTCs) from peripheral blood across cancer diagnoses and tumor stages. CTCs are further quantified and categorized by protein expression and genomic variants.

I was on topiramate for 5 years for my seizures. It was a nightmare experience and hard as hell to get off of. I’ve been sober almost a decade now and I promise you there are much better ways to stop drinking.

Why once a week? Just need that day to look forward to? Once I quit after a decade + of drinking a precise but heavy amount nightly, I just put it behind me besides a random drink if I’m at dinner celebrating very rarely.
I think if I kept anything around, I’d go back to my old ways.

Isn’t that basically what the CA-125 test is? That’s been around for ages.
