Reply to TIL about split brain theory, which explains that a person's brain hemispheres cannot share information with each other if the corpus callosum is severed. by Scruffy_Nerf_Hoarder

Now read about what happens to unborn baby boys as soon as they get there first testosterone bath in the womb. Their body temperature raises to about 108° which cooks that corpus callosum, inhibiting cross hemisphere communication. Early studies of the difference of the hemispheres was done by men and they recognize that women had something in their thought processes that men didn't, so they assumed women functioned out of the right side of their brains (creative, artsy, emotional) and men functioned out of the left side of their brains (order, logic, more stoic). The truth is, the men doing the studying just focused on the difference. When women got into the science they realized that they functioned in both sides of their brains while men were stuck pretty much on one side. The science of the testosterone bath came next.

Reply to TIL there is a genetic disorder many people have with something called Lipoprotein (a), and it puts people at high risk of heart disease, heart attack, stroke, and aortic stenosis. It’s 100% genetic, can’t be corrected, and can only be treated with aggressive cholesterol control. by questionhorror

I've never had a problem with LDL (90), BP (120/70), heart rate (48-54), nor chest pain, and I live a fairly active life playing pickleball several times a week. On 10/27/22 I suffered an acute STEMI, ST Elevated Myocardial Infarction from 5 blockages, 4 of 100% and one of 60-70%. Oh my!

Got 4 stents in 3 places and 2 angioplasties. Then they checked the lipoprotein a. Turns out my LP(a) is 48, twice what would be expected. Apparently, that stuff is very sticky.

I'm good now with a short run anyway. Was back playing pickleball in 3 weeks, and I feel great. I'm interested to see what the research will reveal about lowering LP(a).

Apple had entered the chat.

Might you have any links to support those claims, Mac?

Reply to New data from the VA and HUD shows there was an 11% decline in veteran homelessness since 2020 and 55% since 2010. by NewsYouCanShmooze

The Fousing First model made a lot of sense when I first saw it in 2009. It will take a little time to verify the data based on the night in January census. Deaths could also account for it based on the very little information provided in the article. I would like to have seen some other ratios and counts.
