International Space Station

FOCAL would be able to observe only objects that are right behind the Sun from its point of view, which means that for every observed object a new telescope would have to be made.[3]: 33 [5]

Ah….

Sometimes the Fishies get their Revenge

Happy cake day :)

While he publicly ruled out nuclear weapons today. And therefore the risk of something like that is quite small.

I absolutely am not resting easy knowing in US law as commander in chief the president has sole authority to launch nuclear weapons, no entity can veto this decision.

The critique isn’t that canadians are basically USians its that the US appropriates the name of the entire continent(s) “America” for it’s own country name.

I’ve been unable to speak for a couple years due to illness.

Do not recommend.

What’s YKK?

Ever since I became chronically ill I feel like I dream way more and my dreams are less comfortable…

Nah you can still dream. It just means your brain is less active than if you didn’t take the benzo. But some benzos and especially benzo-like drugs can actually give you weird hallucination-type dreams. Specifically thinking of Z-drugs.

Those aren‘t just anxiety drugs. Lorazepam is a literal Benzo. Which means it literally depresses (ie. makes less active) your CNS (brain).

These drugs are highly addictive and tolerance forming. They‘re often prescribed for insomnia since they inhibit brain signalling.

Once your brain forms tolerance it increases excitatory signalling to „counter“ the drug. Which means if you abruptly stop, you get withdrawal. Your brain is „overactive“ you have seizures, loads of horrible symptoms, in some cases people die.

(Not trying to scare people, short term or sporadic use is actually decently safe, it‘s long term high dose use which is dangerous. But basically my point is „anxiety drug“ is underselling what this is.)

A lot of people do believe it unfortunately.

Always the poor, disabled, marginalised, chronically ill, non first world, will be hit the hardest and die at the highest rates.
