“Man rests from one labor by doing another.” That also works for managing chronic pain, as I’ve discovered…
The dude essentially admitted it himself the other day-- ‘I don’t care about other people or anything at all except what I want at the moment.’
Paraphrasing, yes! But even the tiniest bit of research to a voter suggested how things would play out if one elected (and far worse) re-elected the orange flustercluck. (as we say in chicken-speech)
Don’t need no article to tell me hwat.
Sort of like how toxic ‘Valley-Girl speak’ became the accent-standard across the States, similarly MTV led the charge upon pandering to viewers’ toddler-ish, short-term viewing instincts. And it worked!
And when something works (“makes money” in this case) you can safely go all-in on the short-term betting upon that… leading in the end (upon this and lots of other shizzle) upon society and economics being dictated by a bag of asshole billionaires.
And now here we are.
Could almost be some Simon Stålenhag art. Funny, I just posted one of his a few minutes ago (non-dinosaur themed) at my community.
“Marsupial,” let’s not forget.
I.e. it’s a nickname, and nothing more.
most frogs lay eggs in water
Yup!
This is also true of some other amphibians IIRC, but the comparison certainly holds up.
Thanks for explaining.
Sorry for this fuss-budget comment, but how can a frog possibly be “marsupial?”
Just one of those funny species-naming things…?
Funny. The very paper itself is proposing that belief isn’t needed, because we have measurables. Or you can look at the real-world, impressive work of Mark Epstein, who does a great job coming at meditation (and Buddhism) from both an insider and an outsider’s perspective. (he’s a trained and licensed psychiatrist)
So maybe it’s really more of an anti-belief thing here?
Why in the world is this being downvoted?
ScienceDaily is a highly reputable source, AFAIK.
EDIT: Thanks, downvoting weirdos. May I ask why you’re even subbed here?
So, a big roomful of right-wing ignorants did the group back-slapping thing?
That’s what I’m saying, yes.
Similar reason why orcas are functionally toxic to eat. IIRC their livers and fatty tissue are dangerous because of pollution traveling up the chain.
Or you could do some light research to find out which kinds of fish have highest and lowest mercury levels?
My understanding is that the more you go in the apex predator direction, the more you’ll find mercury and other undesirable shizzle.
The TED presenters I’ve seen consistently tell good jokes. Or someone like Robert Sapolsky.
Maybe study sources like that for inspiration?
If I understand correctly, microscopic dendrites tend to grow out of the lithium ion mass when charging, which can compromise the outer protective layer of the power cell, depending on how that’s constructed.
That has the possibility to start dangerous fires. I just don’t know how common such a thing is.
Crystalline dendrites…?
How would that work?
Speaking of taxonomy, this is a fun little game I’ve been playing lately:
Also, I suspect… good to acknowledge that we’re all prey to that mental shortcoming.
Like, sometimes there’s the urge to completely banish subjective / cloudy thinking from our logic processes, I suppose, but at the same time… doesn’t that also kind of limit our understanding of ‘opposites?’ I.e., people who function so viscerally in terms of outrage, buttons pushed… and of course, the deep, dark, fundamental fear of the unknown…?
My theory is that it’s highly important to understand how other folks think, if that makes sense.
Too fricken’ sad for me to read for long.
What would you say about the latest proposed methods to freshen up the whole system?
FischerChess, perhaps…?
(I haven’t played chess for years, and was maybe ~1700 ELO at my peak, but the drama is always fascinating for some reason, lol)
Stuff gets ejected all the time before it hits the Event Horizon, and then it’s gone (to form a new universe inside the BH, I like to personally think). At the same time there’s also Hawking Radiation, which evidently does radiate material out of the BH at a very small rate.
Huh? What…?
