I wonder if there is in part a reverse causation. That is, that people with developing dementia tend to lose their jobs earlier

Interesting, I wonder if the US has similar laws?

That doesn’t sound right. We’d be perpetually bacteremic if that were the case.

Seems there’s a paper on this (doi 10.1038/s41564-023-01350-w) that showed that 84% of people don’t have bacteria in their blood. Authors hypothesized based on the detected bacteria that the remaining 16% were likely temporary colonizations and not permanent.

So for the most part, blood appears to be sterile with some possibility of temporary low level bacteremia

Reverse causation. We don’t have bacteria in our blood because we have an immune system

Organisms in general tend to be overwhelmingly prokaryotic in the ocean and slightly more eukaryotic (but still overwhelmingly prokaryotic) on land

Does blood count as a bodily fluid? Pretty sure there’s no bacteria there

I use kubuntu. It’s a good choice for people who don’t have experience but are able and willing to search for answers.

KDE defaults are solid and utilizes a lot of Windows muscle memory, and being based on Ubuntu means that it’s really easy to search for answers on virtually any question you might have. Plus widespread package support

Bazzite for young people, Mint for old people would be my first thought

• use broth instead of water
• cook in a pot instead of with a water boiler
• add baby bok choy
• get better brands of instant noodles (according to your preference). Some brands are quite good already on their own

Ask them to unlock and give their phone to you so you can look through their phone

Please don’t put that much perfume… My nose is pretty sensitive to perfume and it makes me sneeze. Most of them smell like dust. I never understood why people try to smell that strongly of dust.

I wonder if we could sidestep this issue by generalizing “Flock” to simply refer to all ALPR’s

It’s all related. Massive societal pressure = no time for children. No time for children means birth rates are significantly below replacement rate. At first the issue was ignorable. Now it’s not. Cracks are starting to show. With so few children, nobody is “picking up the torch” for virtually very industry, and whatever workers are left are dwindling as they retire.

You see a similar thing happening in Japan, too. And a similar issue is occurring in America and Europe, though their situation is not as bad in comparison. It’s speculated that all advanced economies will eventually face this challenge, but South Korea is really trying to speedrun total societal collapse

It’ll take a long while to complete the game. Better to start now…

This is genuinely how I spot AI writing. Does it sound like it’ll fit right in on LinkedIn? If yes, then AI

My understanding (not a historian, don’t quote me on this) is that one of the big explanations for the collapse was particularly bad famine that affected the entire region. It led rural people to migrate into relatively-more-prosperous cities, often by boat (hence “sea people”), but this migration led to increased strain on city infrastructure, especially since the cities were facing the famine as well.
