@Strelitzia_heal @NicHulscher I could not agree more! I wonder how quickly further studies will be pursued? Unfortunately, I also wonder how long it will be before some legislation suddenly appears in various counties attempting to block people's access to psilocybin further than it already does.

@murexromano @japan_nobunaga @UrbanCourtyard If you mean a courtyard that serves a high rise apartment block with lots of flats - no. If it was a small commune or my own house, then yes.

[Paul Vardy @LetConst]

No. In the old days, like 40 years ago in the countryside where everyone sorta knew everyone else it was OK - my wifey's sister at age 4(?) used to go on her tricycle to our nearby hatake (maybe 300m) ziggzagging across a few roads - but these were small roads and plenty of tambo (open fields) so visibility for drivers was not too bad. Today it's very built up, even in the last fee years - lots of houses and people we don't know. So today we would not allow that.

キヤノンが国産初の「フォトンカウンティングCT」を発売開始した。従来のCTより高分解能で、被曝量を大幅に低減できる次世代技術だ。すでに国立がん研究センターとの臨床研究も始まっている。
これが医療にとってどれだけ大きな話か、一般の人にも知ってほしい。画像見てくださいよ、何なんだよこれ、、

現在のCTは「X線の量（エネルギー）」を測定している。フォトンカウンティングCTはX線の「粒（フォトン）」を一個ずつ数える。これにより、従来は見えなかった微細な病変が検出できるようになり、かつ被曝量が下がる。がんの早期発見・心臓病の診断精度・造影剤の使用量削減——あらゆる面でメリットがある。

日本は医療機器の多くを海外メーカーに依存してきた。国産技術がこの領域で世界水準に達したことは、医療安全保障の観点からも重要だ。
中東情勢で医療資材の輸入が滞っている今、「国産で作れる医療技術」への投資がいかに重要かを改めて実感する。

愛知県で初めて、ドイツで学んだ人工股関節の手術を行ったのは高須病院整形外科です。

僕が患者さんをすぐに歩けるようにして退院させるので大流行の高須病院は大赤字でした。
健保の手術料金はバカみたいに安く、輸入する人工関節材料は原価しか支払ってもらえないので当然の結果です。

高須クリニックの僕が決めた施術価格は世界基準でした。いまだに50年前の高須クリニック開業時の価格です。
僕の弟子たちは僕へのリスペクト表明のためか、僕より主事料を安く設定しました。
美容整形料金のデフレ��向は美容外科医の粗製乱造を招くもとです。
クズの直美を目指す若者たちが日本の医療を衰退させると僕は確信しています。

全ての外科医��軍人であるべきです。
優秀な外科医に尊敬と高給を与えるべきだと思います。

健保を含め、優秀な外科医が納得できる高給が取れるような世の中になりますよう。

@brecy_g @menavisualss Thanks! Those cups were everywhere. The prompt probably had 'and she was a heavy tea drinker' lol. No idea if she was...

@chocola_faith @mechanical_4u Is that the kind of thing happening in Germany now?

🚨 Thomas Sowell debunks the Great Depression’s most entrenched myth

“There’s this narrative out there that the reason we had mass unemployment in the 1930s was because the market failed. It so happens that for the 12 months following the stock market crash, we never hit double digits of unemployment.”

“Unemployment peaked at 9 percent two months after the crash and started going down. The unemployment rate was down to 6.3 percent when the federal government figured it had to intervene.”

“And that’s when the downward movement reversed and we never saw 6.3 percent again for the next decade. It’s clear as crystal that the disaster came after federal intervention.”

@grok @End_Haar @sorahikariii Thanks Grok. I work not too far from there - fancy that! Will definitely make a visit.

630 people drowned in the Irish Sea in one night. ⛵💀

A British man studied the data afterwards. And invented something that every single person on earth uses every single day.

On 25 October 1859 the Royal Charter was hit by a hurricane off Anglesey. 450 people died. That same storm destroyed 133 ships and killed nearly 800 people around Britain in a single night.

Robert FitzRoy was head of Britain's Meteorological Office. He went through every piece of data from that night. And he realised something that stopped him cold.

He could have predicted it. 🌊

So he built a network of 15 coastal weather stations around Britain, each one connected to London by telegraph. Every morning they wired their readings in. Pressure. Temperature. Wind direction. Cloud.

He began to see patterns nobody had ever seen before.

On 1 August 1861 The Times newspaper carried something completely new. A prediction of tomorrow's weather. FitzRoy called it a forecast. Not a prophecy. A calculation. 📰

He hoisted storm warning cones at every major British port. When the cones went up, fishing boats stayed in harbour. Lives were saved. How many? Nobody will ever know.

Today every country on earth publishes a daily weather forecast. Every app on every phone. Every "chance of rain" anywhere on earth. The word forecast itself. All of it invented by a British man who decided we would be prepared next time. 🇬🇧

This history has no budget. No broadcaster. No institution behind it. Just the people who believe it deserves to exist.

🚨 WATCH: Thousands of cherry blossoms gifted by Japan are now in full bloom across Washington, D.C.

Japan is also adding 250 more trees to mark America’s 250th anniversary.

The slave trade that had been going on for several thousand years, with Africans and Arabs deeply involved

It was not an idea dreamed up by the British

But they did put an end to it, thanks largely to the Quakers

There is no logic. A person holding a gun being startled would likely fire downwards - pointing a gun at someone's head indicates intent at the very least. Their mental gymnastics only show how utterly screwed some people are. You cannot use rationality to argue with someone that arrived at a conclusion in an irrational way. They bite down so hard on the propaganda they'll not let go...

🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇬🇧 A blind man built 180 miles of road across the Pennines.

He navigated by touch and memory.

His name was Blind Jack. 🦯

Born in Knaresborough, Yorkshire, 1717. At six he caught smallpox and went blind.

That never stopped him.

He learned to ride. To swim. To hunt. At fifteen he became a fiddler. He fought at the Battle of Culloden. He ran a stagecoach company.

He eloped with the innkeeper's daughter. The day before her wedding to another man. 💨

He bet a colonel he could walk from London to Harrogate faster than a coach. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁹󠁯󠁲󠁫󠁿

He won. Five and a half days on foot. 207 miles.

In 1765, Parliament authorised new turnpike roads across the north. There were very few people with experience. Jack was 48 years old. He seized his moment.

He walked every route first. Alone. Then he built.

Proper foundations. Drainage. Techniques nobody had used before. 🛤️

Then he hit the bog. Other engineers said it was impossible.

Jack cut heather from the moor. Bound it into rafts. Laid the road on top.

The bog held. ✅

Across the north of England. 180 miles of road.

You have driven on his roads.

At 77 he walked to York to dictate his life story to a publisher. 📖

He died in 1810. He was 92. He left behind four daughters, twenty grandchildren, and ninety great and great-great grandchildren.

Did they teach you his name? 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

Jack could never see the roads he built.

He made them anyway.

For everyone who came after.

These stories are in the dark.

You keep the light on. 👉 https://t.co/rih7iKwnvf 💡
