Most "conspiracies" are just failures to account for focal length.

Shift the FOV and the relationship between foreground and background changes entirely.

It's not a mystery; it's just optics.

People ask the wrong questions because they assume the premise is static.

@kurewe @Mericamemed For securing a rope to a tree stump—especially if you are pulling it—the Timber Hitch is the simplest and most reliable knot. The harder you pull, the tighter it grips, yet it releases instantly when tension is removed. https://t.co/3ZR7NIQoP7

@Glassman1963_ @benwehrman There's only two, and it doesn't cause that.

Inbreeding causes it. As in cousin marriages being common in Africa.

As for the other countries, it's more about their subculture.

The 100 Year Old Device That Keeps Trains From Falling Apart.

[Dr. Rhonda Patrick @foundmyfitness]

Strength training for 90-120 minutes per week is associated with up to a 30% lower risk of death from all causes, CVD, cancer, and neurologic disease.

That seems to be the upper limit - no additional benefit was observed above 120 minutes of strength training per week.

These benefits were independent of total aerobic activity, but combining strength training with ~5-15 hours of moderate-to-vigorous-intensity aerobic activity reduced all-cause mortality risk by 45%!

Clear message here is: "do both."

@Outdoctrination “Mg deficiency afflicts 90% of all people w/ ADHD & w/ symptoms like restlessness, poor focus, irritability, sleep problems, & anxiety. These symptoms lessen or vanish 1 month after supplementation starts. Mg can prevent or reverse ADHD drug side effects.” https://t.co/rmYpu0BJrM

What happens when nuclear technology goes modular? ⚛️

Advanced light-water SMRs deliver 50 to 350 megawatts of power using proven pressurized or boiling water reactor technology.

@Glassman1963_ @benwehrman There's two types of melanin.

[Noah Ryan @NoahRyanCo]

Most of what kills you in your sixties shows up in your labs in your twenties.

- insulin resistance (10 years before diabetes)
- testosterone decline (years before you notice)
- subclinical hypothyroidism
- systemic inflammation
- nutrient/mineral depletion

Symptoms usually show up long after the damage is done. Get baseline now. Test annually minimum. Fluctuation between labs is more important than static markers.

Vitamin C is more than "immune support"

Neurons accumulate vitamin C to approximately 10 mM intracellularly, roughly 200 times the concentration found in plasma. This gradient is maintained by SVCT2, a sodium-dependent transporter expressed almost exclusively in neurons in vivo. The brain is also the last organ to be depleted during deficiency. In guinea pigs (which, like humans, cannot synthesize vitamin C), the brain retained 24% of its vitamin C stores after 14 days of zero intake, while the adrenal glands dropped to 4% and the spleen to 3%. The body prioritizes the brain above everything else.

The adrenal glands are the other major site of accumulation. Vitamin C is a required cofactor for two enzymes central to the stress response: 11β-hydroxylase, which catalyzes the final step of cortisol synthesis in the adrenal cortex, and dopamine β-hydroxylase, which converts dopamine to norepinephrine in the adrenal medulla.

Padayatty et al. (2007) measured this directly in 26 human patients. After ACTH administration, adrenal vein vitamin C concentration surged from 39 to 162 μmol/L within 2 minutes, while cortisol did not peak until 15 minutes. The adrenals released vitamin C before they released cortisol.
This sequence suggests ascorbate must be mobilized for steroidogenesis to proceed.

This doesn't mean mega-dosing vitamin C will improve your stress response. Most of this work describes what happens during deficiency or acute demand, not supplementation above adequate intake. But it does reframe what vitamin C actually does in your body: it's not primarily an antioxidant or immune molecule. It's a required manufacturing input for cortisol and catecholamines, concentrated exactly where those hormones are made.

@SuperSisi Low magnesium levels induces anxiety.

Magnesium interacts with GABA receptors, supporting the calming actions of GABA. https://t.co/wuNUzVPbO0

@Jbn3ex I saw a video of one dog barking at a male and female lion. The lions were just standing there and looked like they were thinking "we just wanted to borrow a cup of sugar", or something that lions would think.

@rand_longevity It isn't even remotely related to diabetes. Stop spouting off pseudoscience from retarded people.

@Irenezhao_ Manually rendering these metallic textures in Photoshop usually takes a massive stack of layer styles and clipping masks.

Seeing 4.0 one-shot clean type alignment against a dark geometric grid is a massive shift.

One thing that took me a long time to realize is men say what they mean. No mental gymnastics to find out what they are thinking.

@rand_longevity "Taurine linked with healthy aging - Reversing age-associated taurine loss improves mouse longevity & monkey health" https://t.co/JY2TIdqIbt

⚠️Energy drinks do have taurine, but they have high levels of an inorganic phosphate which prevents the absorption & function of magnesium

@PISSdPATRIOT @NatureUnedited A Kodiak bear would be even more imposing—thankfully they're confined to Alaska's Kodiak Island.

@Secondshiftnews @NatureUnedited Polar bears are NOT as aggressive as you think. I've seen a video showing a photographer taking pictures of a polar bear that was about 20 feet away from him.

@TheChiefNerd Now talk about how to prevent Alzheimer's.

Magnesium and aerobic exercise prevents Alzheimer's.

Aerobic exercise creates an environment providing the clearance of those proteins. https://t.co/BnJc3KdiFU. "Magnesium [preventing] Alzheimer’s disease"
