Reply to comment by oneeyedziggy in Saturated fatty acids dampen the immunogenicity of cancer by suppressing STING (Mar 2023) by basmwklz
The study suggests that saturated fats inhibit the STING pathway, which is a way for your body to recognize and fight bad cells. This means that saturated fats can make it harder for your body to fight off bad cells like tumors.
In contrast, the study found that unsaturated fats did not have the same effect on the STING pathway. This suggests that unsaturated fats may not be as harmful to your body's ability to fight off bad cells like tumors.
The STING pathway (STimulator of INterferon Genes pathway) is a part of our immune system that helps our body to recognize and fight off invading viruses, bacteria, and cancer cells.
When our body detects the presence of these bad cells, it triggers the STING pathway, which leads to the production of a type of protein called interferon. Interferon helps to activate other immune cells in our body, such as T cells and natural killer cells, which then work together to destroy the invading cells.

It's fun to think about how many prophets likely had severe mental illnesses like schizophrenia.
Sadly, religion starts making a little too much sense once you factor in the collective delusions of the mentally ill.

Oh dear. You miss the most important. Which I did not mention. I figured you know?
Every empty point in space is theoretically capable of storing an atom, give or take.
Most of space is empty. The calculation of all the observable atoms 'brute forced' into all possible voids?
That's really the point, friend. You're talking combinatorics of one thing and then falsely equalizing with simply number of atoms?? Not the possible combinations of those atoms?? Which far exceeds the visible signs of your awakening?? It's not even astronomically close, bud.
In theory, a device around the size of a deck of cards contains more than enough energy to compute to end game.
The "observable" universe operates at an insanely high frequency. Consider the edge of the universe is over 10 orders of magnitude closer than the Planck length, using meters of course.
We're 10 billion times closer to the edge of the universe than the fabric of reality.

Wow, that understanding is deeply flawed. In computer systems we have compression and instancing and other tricks. But that's all besides the following point.
Atoms, for instance, how many different types are possible? Lets even ignore isotopes!
It's just like calculating a base. Like a byte can have 256 values. You get 4 bytes(32 bits) together and that's 4.3 billion states or 256^4 (base 256 with 4 bytes) or 2^32 (binary, base 2 with 32 bits). So instead of 256 values we got 118 unique atoms and instead of bytes we got atoms, 10^80 of them.
Simple, right? 118^10^80 combinations possible. Highest exponent first, mind you. Otherwise you only will get 1,658 digits instead of the actual result.... Which is not even remotely close..... Not 80 digits. Not 170 digits. Not 1,658, even.
That's 207188200730612538547439527925963726569493435639287375683771302641055893615162425 digits..... Again. This is not the answer. Just the number of digits in the answer.
Universe gots zero problems computing GO, bro
That's nothing compared to all the possible spaces all the possible atoms could occupy over all extents over space(and)time.
That's a calculation I'll leave up to you downvoters, gl hf!

Historically?
https://www.statista.com/statistics/1007454/cumulative-co2-emissions-worldwide-by-country/
> United States was the biggest emitter in history as of 2021, having released 422 billion metric tons of carbon dioxide (GtCO₂) into the atmosphere since the birth of the industrial revolution. This accounted for roughly a quarter of all historical CO₂ produced from fossil fuels and industry. China was the second-largest contributor to historical emissions, having released 250 GtCO₂.
> The leading carbon majors are all fossil fuel companies, with the top twenty polluters emitting almost 500 billion metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent in the past half a century. This is roughly 35 percent of the global total emissions produced during this period.
But they want you to blame cows and engage in idiotic arguments about their farts or burps or their feels.

Modern humans, being perhaps over 1 million years old, have been star gazers for a hell of a long time. They wouldn't need an astronomy lesson, but could instead teach one! I'd bet you they all had at least one name for Orion's belt, for instance. Probably the dippers and Cassiopeia, too. And on and on, including Taurus, the Twins and Aquarius.
Ancient civilizations pretty much all developed calendars, obviously experienced seasons, often had rituals based on astrological events and seasons, had holidays, and in most cases months would be based on the lunar cycle.

We do. It's just gradual. That's why we often miss it until it's too late to do anything about it. It's subtle change over time until one day we have to think back years and years and then we think about all those moments in-between and how they were just slowly slipping away while we were just too busy to notice.

There's at least one genotype that can't handle high fat diets, hyper fat absorbers. A high fat diet for these people would promote obesity, diabetes, CVD, etc. And their blood work would get worse. For this genotype a low fat diet is advisable.
But for everyone else, it doesn't matter much. Healthy people meticulously regulate fat intake by various means. Low fat absorbers just poop most of the fat out. Really, for most people, (besides trans fats) it just doesn't matter much as long as you have a good balance of (mono)(un)saturated fats and get your essential omegas.
What most people could use more of is fiber and vegetables. Very solid way to lower trigs and cholesterol and it works regardless of genotype.
