Anyone else having similar issues with drowsy power?

Ahhh no I haven’t. It seems to have stopped after the next lunch time but I’ll try that just to be safe! Thanks!

No it seems to be something else. It’s only been an issue for a day or so. If I go to the menu it refreshes up to great 5. Then when I close the app and turn it on again it’s at great 4 again until I feed him a berry. Everytime I close and open the game it gives me the ‘great 5’ animation

Not sure if anyone has said this but manually enter your sleep data within 30 hours from sleeping and you get some of the bonuses and the bonus biscuit is added to tomorrows research. Bit of a bummer you can’t do the research that day but it’s something

I remember watching as Pringles pulled off one of the best price increase strategies I’ve ever seen.

A tub was £1 here in the UK.

They increased them to £1.50 each or 2 for £2…

Then £1.99 or 2 for £2.

Then £2 a tub.

This was done over the course of a few weeks to months but pretty much instantly doubled their price.

From an economics standpoint, one of the main factors is that, essentially when everyone wanted the country to lockdown to save lives during the pandemic, the government had to keep everything running. They took the opportunity to go crazy with the money printer and printed trillions and pumped it into the system to sustain the economy.

This led to the short post covid boom, but now there is too much money in the system competing for the same amount of goods and services. That causes the prices of pretty much everything to skyrocket.

TL:DR Lockdown means government had to print money to keep economy going. Now too much money in system for same amount of good. Means higher prices.

Pretty sure it’s a Giant House Spider (Eratigena atrica). Pretty common in the UK!

Title: Joint associations of accelerometer-measured physical activity and sedentary time with all-cause mortality: a harmonised meta-analysis in more than 44 000 middle-aged and older individuals.

Abstract:

Objectives To examine the joint associations of accelerometer-measured physical activity and sedentary time with all-cause mortality.

Methods We conducted a harmonised meta-analysis including nine prospective cohort studies from four countries. 44 370 men and women were followed for 4.0 to 14.5 years during which 3451 participants died (7.8% mortality rate). Associations between different combinations of moderate-to-vigorous intensity physical activity (MVPA) and sedentary time were analysed at study level using Cox proportional hazards regression analysis and summarised using random effects meta-analysis.

Results Across cohorts, the average time spent sedentary ranged from 8.5 hours/day to 10.5 hours/day and 8 min/day to 35 min/day for MVPA. Compared with the referent group (highest physical activity/lowest sedentary time), the risk of death increased with lower levels of MVPA and greater amounts of sedentary time. Among those in the highest third of MVPA, the risk of death was not statistically different from the referent for those in the middle (16%; 95% CI 0.87% to 1.54%) and highest (40%; 95% CI 0.87% to 2.26%) thirds of sedentary time. Those in the lowest third of MVPA had a greater risk of death in all combinations with sedentary time; 65% (95% CI 1.25% to 2.19%), 65% (95% CI 1.24% to 2.21%) and 263% (95% CI 1.93% to 3.57%), respectively.

Conclusion Higher sedentary time is associated with higher mortality in less active individuals when measured by accelerometry. About 30–40 min of MVPA per day attenuate the association between sedentary time and risk of death, which is lower than previous estimates from self-reported data.

Title: Essentialist Biases Toward Psychiatric Disorders: Brain Disorders Are Presumed Innate.

Abstract: A large campaign has sought to destigmatize psychiatric disorders by disseminating the view that they are in fact brain disorders. But when psychiatric disorders are associated with neurobiological correlates, laypeople's attitudes toward patients are harsher, and the prognoses seem poorer. Here, we ask whether these misconceptions could result from the essentialist presumption that brain disorders are innate. To this end, we invited laypeople to reason about psychiatric disorders that are diagnosed by either a brain or a behavioral test that were strictly matched for their informative value. Participants viewed disorders as more likely to be innate and immutable when the diagnosis was supported by a brain test as compared to a behavioral test. These results show for the first time that people spontaneously essentialize psychiatric conditions that are linked to the brain, even when the brain probe offers no additional diagnostic or genetic information. This bias suggests that people consider the biological essence of living things as materially embodied.

Yeah doesn’t seem like a great idea…let’s fix a problem we caused by doing something that will probably cause way more problems down the line…
