Top right quadrant - where exactly depends on multiple factors.
My understanding is that we actually don’t have much of a warning (under an hour), since a CME has to reach the satellite at the Lagrange point between Earth and the Sun for us to know it’s about to hit Earth. According to the article below, this includes power companies, but I remain skeptical that there’s enough organisation in place to shut down the North American, European or Asian grids in 15 minutes.
In general, people are appallingly bad at weighing up long-term vs short-term stuff, both in terms of risks and benefits. It’s even worse when, as you say, there’s no definite deadline or it doesn’t directly affect those who can do something about it.
I agree. There were articles and documentaries about 20 years ago that I remember featuring these sort of events. The continent affected would take 20-30 years to rebuild its electricity grid.
You’re welcome. Unfortunately there’s no one place where you can read up on it; in my case I searched for any studies or papers on autism and/or serotonin to get a better understanding of how the system worked. Whilst some research is behind paywalls, a lot is still publicly accessible (ResearchGate is one such site). Google Scholar is probably the easiest way to search for relevant papers, though, as it usually lists where the full paper (as a PDF) is available.
Some of the papers I’ve come across that may be of interest to you:
As for the quantity of melatonin, that was in discussion with my doctor. He expected that the commonly available 2mg supplements wouldn’t do anything and that it would probably take 10mg to have a significant impact. He also said not to go above 20mg. In my case, 10mg works very well, but was increasing the risk of being tired the next day - so I am currently on 5mg (this helps, but I don’t sleep through the night as well as I did on 10mg).
Also on the safety side of things, be aware that 5-HTP should not be taken with SSRIs without careful medical supervision due to the interaction and risk of serotonin syndrome.
I have never had many dreams, but they experienced an uptick when I started melatonin. Stress also makes me have more nightmares.
There is growing evidence that autism involves a dysfunction of the serotonergic system, particularly the central nervous system (CNS) pathway (Tryptophan -> 5-HTP -> Serotonin -> N-Acetylserotonin -> Melatonin). There are also studies showing that the conversion from N-Acetylserotonin (NAS) to melatonin is impeded in autism.
I did a lot of digging into this to try to aid my sleep and general health. Here are the key takeways:
If anyone’s interested I can dig up the studies/references I used.
(As an aside, sleep apnoea will also reduce the amount of REM sleep, as past a certain point your brain will keep pulling you back into light sleep in order to breathe. If you haven’t checked if you have sleep apnoea, please do so!)
Another cult that clearly doesn’t follow the Bible they claim to believe in.
I wonder how the men in this group would feel about Proverbs 31 and the successful business woman it describes.
At least a tag I can fix… A woollen jumper (aka woolen sweater for the US folks) is just a no-go. Too itchy.
Only problem is my battery usually starts off at 50%…
I think it’s just that we’re possessive/protective of “our” code, even more so if one is passionate about programming. We’ve put a lot of effort into it, then somebody else comes along and “ruins” our “perfect” (to our eyes) formatting/styling!
Some linters can do both. Getting one set up as an automated job whenever code is pushed to the repo is on my TODO list…
I felt that. I have a colleague whose coding style is different to mine and whenever they work on code that I originally wrote, I have to resist the temptation to modify things to camelCase.
Be able to recite everything they’ve ever read, yet unable to recall relevant information on demand.
A subset of humans. Not everyone fails to learn from history.
Only a subset. Unfortunately they are doing their utmost to ensure they’re the ones making the decisions.
I have actually encountered those sort of potential differences between ground planes. They can indeed wreak havoc under the right circumstances.
