The caveat being that these papers are preprints, aka not peer reviewed. It’s got a lot of gems, but also a metric fuck ton of garbage. Use it as a starting place, not a finishing one, like Wikipedia… but it’s sometimes even less reliable. If it’s not your specially, find better sources.

This is my experience too, ironically. Lmao. One woman I even chose for her compassionate care awards. I never saw her again. I still generally seek out women doctors for other things.

Even just some novocaine does wonders. I’m due a new one and I keep putting it off. I’ve had 3. One they gave me (fairly useless) paracetamol. I had one without anything and one with novocaine. Ironically the latter was my first (15 years ago!!). They seem to have gotten worse each time.

This is the first thing I saw. I’m so triggered. I have a broken centerfuge lid on my desk rn that unbalanced everything for years. I think I’m going to keep it to remind me that “this too shall pass.”

No pain, no gain.

TIL the University of Illinois is Chinese propaganda. There’s a list of them in the wikipedia, but you’re not arguing in good faith lmao.

You obviously haven’t read these or watched that video as that’s covered. It’s literally physics.

Ideally we’d be doing/improving on something like this where modern nuclear plants can make up for gaps in renewables.

I don’t speak German. Generation 3+ only came into use in the West in the last 5-10 years. China has over 150 planned for a reason, watch the link I already provided. They are fundamentally built to avoid the accidents of the past. The standards set by the Chinese on this meet Western standards, hell, they are selling the tech to us.

More on China, because the YT link already covers this stuff:

This is for the older plants. The newer plants are fundamentally different (Gen 3+). There are ways to mitigate these things.

It was a resort, good riddance. If it was a museum/memorial it would be sad, but nah, it’s still just a place for rich white people. Those southern resorts always gave me major ick.

GOOD. BUILD MORE. The newer generations of nuclear plants can recycle their own waste and are basically meltdown proof. It’s a no brainer. Shit is literally alchemy magic.

LPT: add a lemon peel and honey to any coffee incl instant and it will taste gourmet. Add condensed milk if you’re feeling fancy. This is what I do for fieldwork coffee. I learned this off a good Brazilian friend, never went back. I always do at least the peel now, it neutralises the acids.

I left almost 10 years ago lol. It was always going to get worse before it gets better. This too shall pass.

Some scorpions too, just for funsies.

Haha, that thing must be absolutely infested with bugs.

More.

Wise woman. Birds aren’t real.

When I could exercise a lot, everything else got easier. Regular sleep, good eating habits etc. Now that I can’t it’s pretty much a crapshoot. I didn’t eat fast food for years and I was at the gym 5 times per week at least. Exercise is really important for ADHD.
