Hmm maybe this is why the whales are beaching themselves. There’s probably a scarcity of plastic bags in. the ocean and whales are trying to come on shore to get the bags.

(/s in case you can’t tell)

Point taken!

I leave you in the grace and favour of the Lord.

His weight was never an issue for me. Just that he’s an asshole.

Since 9/11 , superhero movies/series have become what Westerns were in the 1950s and 1960s. They're ubiquitous and churned out like sausage.

Heteroscedastic, I'd say. Did you try a Spearman correlation?

Causation vs correlation issue here due to self-selection bias.

Such an idiotic move.

Tackling the important issues.

“Co-researcher Prof Mark Williams, from Oxford University, said that, on average, pupils only practised mindfulness once over the 10-week course.”

There's several reasons for this. There are many things in the blood stream that would be toxic to neurons if they passed the blood-brain barrier. Also, blood spilling out of a hemorrhagic stroke doesn't oxygenate the brain in the normal way though capillaries, where the blood ells progress to veins and then eventually are re-oxygenated. Blood spilling out onto the brain causes most neurons downstream to be deprived of oxygen and nutrients.

these are great. thank you!

Post the research article ffs.

I'm deleting my email now just in case.

Look no farther than Toms River

Don’t kill the pink monkeys either.

This is an important philosophical issue. There are 4 Ds in whether something is diagnosed or considered a dsiorder:

1. Deviance: Varying from the norm, the average of society. This is useful in come situation, like diagnosing memory decline in possible Alzheimer's disease. However, by itself it can overemphasize conformity, which is a problem.
2. Distress - Is what the person,s experiencing creating some kind of distress or suffering. People used to think of schizophrenia as a “sane response to an insane world”, but really they are suffering horribly as a result of this.
3. Dysfunction - Does it interfere with a person's ability to get through their day, support themselves, accomplish the things they would like to accomplish.
4. Dangerousness - This is more of a consideration in forensic settings

ADHD is a spectrum on which we all fall, but the extreme cases that are diagnosed meet the distress and dysfunction criteria.

A few years ago we had a fucking thunderstorm on Christmas Day.

They were from Nepal, where cholera outbreaks still happen yearly.

I’ve always wondered about this with grey squirrels in the northeastern US, which are practically ubiquitous in the suburbs and in urban parks. With so much interactions with cars, people, buildings I wonder whether natural selection has changed their behavioral or physical characteristics

What a marvelous human being.

Use of heroin in my high school was unheard of. We knew what it was.

It's odd. I was in Hs in the later 1980s. Heroin was unheard of. It was weed and alcohol. In the same school decades later, opioids became a problem.

Tired of winning
