Abdication syndrome.

Fireworks affects others: fire danger, noise, lack of post-celebration cleanup. I've seen trash and unlit fireworks left in school yards that had kids coming in for summer school.

If people were more respectful with fireworks, this wouldn't be a polarizing opinion. Yet, here we are.


Not entirely sure, but this fire aligns with July 4, and has one death:

I am deficient, too, and take supplements (rare liver disease).

I wonder if taking mushrooms soaked in the sun improves absorption compared to supplements?


Make sure those mushrooms are prepared well though because as I understand it, the human digestive system has a hard time breaking down chitin cell walls, so without proper preparation, the mushrooms may pass through mostly undigested.

The point about letting the mushrooms soak up sunlight to boost their vitamin D content is totally true and absolutely fascinating though!

> When commonly consumed mushroom species are exposed to a source of ultraviolet (UV) radiation, such as sunlight or a UV lamp, they can generate nutritionally relevant amounts of vitamin D. The most common form of vitamin D in mushrooms is D2, with lesser amounts of vitamins D3 and D4, while vitamin D3 is the most common form in animal foods. Although the levels of vitamin D2 in UV-exposed mushrooms may decrease with storage and cooking, if they are consumed before the ‘best-before’ date, vitamin D2 level is likely to remain above 10 μg/100 g fresh weight, which is higher than the level in most vitamin D-containing foods and similar to the daily requirement of vitamin D recommended internationally.

Great point. Scanning healthy people is one thing, people who truly need help (like myself) is another!


The monetary advantages gained by AI are not going to the lower class, but rather a small group of wealthy people. Meanwhile data centers cause disruption in energy prices, water, and real estate for the lower class.

Thus, economic inequality leads to backslide of democracy:

Interestingly, lithium does seem to protect telomeres and in fact lengthens them, which may affect Alzheimer's.


interesting, I remember reading population of Beijing seem to have lithium in their water or air so their new born and mothers carrying seem to have 20x of lithium concentration of what's considered normal...


The papers suggest a plausible mechanism by which lithium orotate could have an effect that would be not present with inorganic lithium salts.

IIRC the hypothesis is that lithium orotate does not fully dissociate in water and thus can cross the blood brain barrier much more easily than plain Li+, and then the cells in your brain can take up the lithium orotate, metabolize the orotate part, and make the free Li+ available.


Only as a reminder and a data point, homelessness rises every year, too. It's at record highs. (Caveat: homelessness data is difficult to calculate.)

So we are possibly having more record highs in wealth, and more record lows.


To understand why the two are one and the same, is first to understand that the US is a plutocracy.


I'm exhausted by all this tapping! Who knew cutting firewood was such hard work!
