Unique Neanderthal Lair Reveals How They Lived Before Modern Humans Appeared
like this
"Our surprising findings at Abric Pizarro show how adaptable Neanderthals were. The animal bones we have recovered indicate that they were successfully exploiting the surrounding fauna, hunting red deer, horses and bison, but also eating freshwater turtles and rabbits, which imply a degree of planning rarely considered for Neanderthals," she said.

Archaeology: Differences in Neanderthal and Palaeolithic human childhood stress
Neanderthal children (who lived between 400,000 and 40,000 years ago) and modern human children living during the Upper Palaeolithic era (between 50,000 and 12,000 years ago) may have faced similar levels of childhood stress but at different developm…SCIENMAG (Scienmag)

SDE BOKER, Israel, August 14, 2024 – Climate change poses a severe threat to food production, making it imperative to find sustainable methods. One such method is aquaponics, which grows fish and vegetables together.SCIENMAG (Scienmag)
Why is this being downvoted?
Oh, I have a very, very dedicated team of people that downvote everything I write or post within seconds of me posting. They're mad because I posted a few news articles in the c/politics sub that were favorable to third parties. So according to their DM's to me, they're trying to "silence" me because I'm "russian lackey troll farm scum" and stopping me is their mission. One admitted to "following" me online and "keeping an eye" on me. I'm THAT important, right?!
I mean, they don't really mention that I am born/raised/living in US and the only thing that set them off is that I'm voting Green Party, but meh...Lemmy, right?! :)
BUT to your point, yes, Aquaponics has been around forever, and I love it too. (Hence the Green part of my Green Party love)

And just think, all of it is some kind of thing we found in the ground, punched slapped and burned the shit out of to varying degrees, and made it DO THINGS!
SCIENCE things!
With so many various teams involved with every step of the project, from planning to construction to operation, I wonder if any one person truly understands all of how each piece works to do the things they do.
Using lightning!
You cannot convince me science and technology aren't just magic by any other name.
You bring up the question of whether it's the rocks that think or the math that thinks using the rocks... What are we when we think? (meaty bags of mostly water propped up on calcium sticks that makes it's own lightning to think?)

So (to point #1) we can’t approve a psychedelic for medicinal use because we can’t fool people into thinking they took this psychedelic. Despite the evidence it’s helpful as a medicine.
Somehow that’s reminiscent of Nixon making pot a schedule I drug - highly dangerous - to prevent Democratic votes.
I was on MDMA when I had an aha moment that allowed me to set down my mother's bigotry and stop being homophobic. Smoking cigarettes outside in light rain at a rave, this flamboyantly gay guy was cracking jokes and was really funny. I had the thought, "He just wants to take drugs and have a good time on a Saturday night, he's just like me." Instant loss of homophobia forever.
I advocate MDMA use in therapy. I'm convinced it can be useful.

Uhh that’s not nice. They’re an invasive species fucking our country over and causing native species to go extinct.

Oh that. I’m fortunately sheltered enough (by choice and hard work) from the evil talking heads that this didn’t come to mind.
Hopefully the NGR will elbow that horrible woman out of first place for recognition of this name.
Quantum Entanglement in Your Brain Is What Generates Consciousness, Radical Study Suggests
The study, published this month in the journal Physics Review E, suggests that a fatty material called myelin that surrounding the nerve cell’s axon—the fiber that transmits electrical impulses to other nerves or body tissues—provides an environment in which the entanglement of photons is possible.
Still need show it definitely happens, it's definitely part of the brains processing, and it's definitely where consciousness comes from.
