hahah same for psychology

International Space Station

Thinking about it this isn’t necessarily true in that moving the FOCAL relatively little could yield new things to observe (even microarcseconds). So you wouldn’t need a new FOCAL to measure each new thing. However each FOCAL would be measuring a miniscule bit of space over its lifetime. Which means for each distinct object that isn’t basically a neighbour in angular terms to a FOCAL sent you’d need a new FOCAL probably. Unless our long term energy generation/harvesting and propulsion in deep space significantly improves technology wise.

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 :)

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

Do not recommend.

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.

Damn it how could I forget that 🤦. I’m now magically cured. Thanks ;)

100% but what you neglect to mention is the poorer world already has far higher mortality rates. This will only make it worse.

Hard to be in an environmental prepper group if you’re too disabled/chronically ill to leave your bed haha. I’ve just accepted if shit really hits the fan I’m dying.

Yeah I would still be ill but it would be “oh that sucks and I can afford it” not “my survival is constantly on the line”.

Tries to wish lifelong chronic illness away

No issues, on geological timescales sure. I’m sure there were issues on human timescales though.

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

It’s not anti-intellectual to hold medical professionals to standards.

It’s well known that PPIs are overprescribed and many people end up having undiagnosed H. Pylori infections for a while before it’s picked up.

Because back then it was medical canon they were psychological/caused by anxiety.
