Another theory is that when Roman provincial governors took over power from Greek colonists, they over-farmed silphium and rendered the soil unable to yield the type that was said to be of such medicinal value. Theophrastus wrote in Enquiry into Plants that the type of Ferula specifically referred to as “silphium” was odd in that it could not be cultivated. He reports inconsistencies in the information he received about this, however. This could suggest the plant is similarly sensitive to soil chemistry as huckleberries which, when grown from seed, are devoid of fruit.

Literally in the Wikipedia page.

I’m quite surprised that they don’t have the birth control properties of the plant at the very top of the page.

You’re a DJ? That’s so hot

Dungeon… Journeyman?

Just make a user interface for your game bro. No need to bring AI into it

and is expected to double again in the next 20. It is now one of the fastest-growing neurological disorders in the world, outpacing stroke and multiple sclerosis

Why is it expected to double again? How can you make that prediction when you aren’t sure why it doubled in the first place. Unless it’s more prevalent because people live longer and you expect people to live even longer in the future (we can have pretty good modelling of this).

Is it the growth that’s greater than the growth of stroke and MS or is Parkinson’s more common than those diseases? Seems unclear. If it’s growth then how is it relevant? Is stroke and MS case load growing at an alarming rate?

Doesn’t it seem weird that they don’t see an increased Parkinson’s rate in farmers? Asbestos was identified as a danger because it killed the miners and craftsmen working with it.

All true but at the same time EU countries has paid more money to Russia for fossil fuels than they have spent on supporting Ukraine.

The dude (lady?) engraved also has a cellphone and a laptop

Signal? Does it have channels like Telegram?

If you do speak Czech, Polish etcetera then maybe you can find those numbers. It’s not easy for someone who doesn’t.

Tom Homan sounds like a name made up by aliens. “Yes, of course I am also a human being just like you. Look at my name.”

I should mellow this a bit.

Right now you’re experiencing some degree of culture shock so that’s going to take ~6 months before that is fully settled. “This is weird.” “Yes, that’s something people experience in a variety of contexts”.

But outside of that in the long run you really have to think about what’s important to you and carve out time for that or you will be lonely and miserable. Something with regularity. I play board games with friends once a week. Sometimes I can’t make it and they do it without me. But there’s still way too much of my time that ends up being me staring at Lemmy or the TV, thinking that I really should <some chore>. And you can end up like that whether you are single or in a relationship. School was simpler.

You me and a legless skank in the Australian desert but you playin

Someone just found a new species of legless skink in Australia. Could have been us but you playing.

There’s culture shock and then hopefully you settle into the idea that this is your life now.

Basically anything I buy at the grocery store has between two and five languages. It’s not hard America.

Seems like something a person trying to buy votes would say.

Is he not the richest person in the world?

There’s a bunch of DDoS protection services, Fastly, Cloudflare etc.

Big tech cloud services are a bit expensive so you should have some budget for DevOps folks now. Decide on monitoring and CI/CD for the whole organisation. Spend resources on db admin: backup, performance, migration.

The tricky thing is distributing so you don’t go down if the hosting service goes down. But let’s be honest, even though you can do that in big tech cloud most organisations just stick everything in the same location. Backups are always off-site whether it’s big tech or other hosting.

Dickhead wasn’t even approved by the senate.

Yeah yeah, totally only leftwing folks that hate his guts /s
