One other thing about concrete that gets glossed over a lot is that it requires sand dredged up from riverbeds and other places where it is water tumbled. Wind tumbled sand, like what you find in deserts such as the Sahara, is unsuitable due to its smooth shape.
Demand for concrete in construction is contributing to erosion of riverbanks and other habitat destruction in this way.

Reply to comment by redvodkandpinkgin in Depression can lead to memory dysfunction. This study may pave way for new drugs. Results of a large study involving brain scans show that patients with moderate to severe depression have 7-10 per cent fewer serotonin 4 receptors in the brain than healthy test subjects. by Wagamaga
I found it. It was this paper. For 85% of people SSRIs are no better than placebo.

But wasn't there a recent study that showed SSRIs are no more effective than placebo?

Eh, Satan exists in the OT - the Hebrew root for Satan means “adversary” - but not as a jailer of the damned type deal. Satan is just a role that a being takes to test people’s faith.
