One trap in an open dory. Casual.

Don’t make me tap the overlay.

I will sport the stylish royal blue shirt with navy blue trouser today. Watch me peacock!

The whole article just compounds the madness.

Well try the navy shirt with the black pants. Much better that way.

There are layers of variability there that can’t be captured with a line plot. The data density is too high to even capture the decanal progression in a useful way, forget about monthly and annual variability . So no.

This is a really interesting visualization. I love the density of the data and the way it captures the year over year variability by month while allowing the annual variability to plainly stand out. This is really good.

So Greece has a problem. Well 👍

There is actual work on that by a guy named Michael Persinger using transcranial magnetic induction. He claimed to have found a region where stimulation produced a sense of the presence/fear of God. Persinger was a hack on many levels. He used a motorcycle helmet with holes drilled in it for the induction mount. Lete see if I can find a paper…

Well never mind. The kook died a few years ago. https://www.sudbury.com/local-news/breaking-laurentian-professor-michael-persinger-most-famous-for-his-god-helmet-passes-away-1016204

He also has a wikipedia page lol. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/God_helmet

Well shouldn’t it be? lol.

It’s real, but cobbled together from multiple sources. For instance we haven’t referred to the “reticular activating system” since maybe the 1980s? They call it the “reticular arousal system” which is either a neologism or maybe a reactivation of the term in the literature. I haven’t been active in the area in over a decade.

I’ll note that this broadly accurate on a macro level, but the details really matter. There are different cortical layers for instance and cell types and the nature of the signal processing differs by layer. So saying “X connects to Y” is useful in some sense, but provides much less information than you might imagine.

This is part of my actual area of expertise. They mis-labeled the locus coeruleus as being “stress”. Arousal would be more correct. They also missed Barrington’s Nucleus right next to it which controls micturition. Absolute trash.

Brown shoes with navy trousers has been on trend for 15 years now. It’s become the default choice for business. Uniformed services will still require black. And a blue shoe with black trousers? WTF?

There’s an old joke about how long it takes to prepare a talk in academia. Want an hour? I can do it right now. 30 minute presentation? I’ll need a few weeks. 10 minute presentation? Better give me one or two month lead time.

God’s honest truth. 5 minutes of reading content gets stretched into 30 minutes of &$#@ video.

You’re a hero.

Which add-on?

It was diacetyl morphine before Bayer marketed it. Fun fact; the acetyl groups get cleaved before it binds to a receptor so it’s just plain old morphine again.
