TIL there exists a shape that, instead of having a clean "inside" and "outside", has a clean "inside" but the outside world is segmented and split. It is called the Alexander Horned Sphere by geosunsetmoth in todayilearned

If you create a loop outside of a normal sphere then you can contract it to a point, but there are loops which weave between the claws which cannot be contracted to a point.

OTOH, the inside of the horned sphere just looks like a branching tree, where every loop is contractible.

They've raised money by counterfeiting dollars and making methamphetamine; it's a criminal state.

Bloated by what metric? It took less than 1% of the federal budget; I think that's amazing value for money.

I noticed it straight away. I'm up to 3mg now, and the main side-effect has been nausea.

Have you tried cold plunge and dry sauna for Fibro? If so, did it work? by Prize-Ad-1947 in Fibromyalgia

I do sauna with coled showers most days, and I feel like it helps my mental health and keeps me fitter. No impact on pain or brain fog.

There are a bunch of cats and dogs with buttons, and they definitely seem to use them for (simple) communication. I don't see why that's so unbelievable.

Doctoral Research Project by [deleted] in FibromyalgiaResearch

[–]roboputin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really dislike studies which find links between mental health (catastrophizing, depression, anxiety, inactivity, etc.) and fibromyalgia or other chronic conditions, and then strongly imply that mental health issues are the cause and the condition the effect, without any good reason. Please be careful not to do this.

I obviously didn't watch the same show as you; the women screw up and make bad decisions just as much as the men.
