Disease usually results from inconclusive negotiations for symbiosis, an overstepping of the line by one side or the other, a biological misinterpretation of the borders.

Stallman’s attempt to rename Linux to incorporate the GNU name not happening was frustrating on his end it seems. Everytime someone calls their system a Linux based OS and not GNU/Linux based OS downplays the work he put in. However, Linus’s kernel was more elaborate than GNU Hurd, so it was incorporated. It’s said Stallman is a visionary, while Linus is a programist. While there’s never been any display of tension in a back and forth between them online, it’s always seemed to me they appreciate and also despise various aspects of each another.

Yep! Insects can use their legs, mouthparts, as well as other specialized structures for grooming. In addition, some beetles actually use water to wash off dirt and contaminants. Other insects make and secret substances for cleaning. A common example of this is ants using formic acid as a disinfectant. Then, similar to monkeys, bugs like bees and ants conduct social grooming. This helps with the colonies overall health.

Sounds like you’re looking for independent journalism, I’m in the same boat. I’ve found checking commondreams.org, scheerpost.com, therealnews.com, unicornriot.ninja, fair.org, thecanary.co, leftvoice.org, consortiumnews.com, labornotes.org, and popularresistance.org/news make for a great news feed. Those are an array of independent news outlets which keep it almost entirely just news. Setting up an RSS feed with these sites would be a solid move to ensure your getting news with none of the BS.

Exactly, more than half of registered voters are over 50. So polling 50+ year olds would definitely be better data.

So, based on your sources, the first one states “'connected consciousness’ occurs when people under general anaesthetic are able to respond to outside stimuli such as pain but may not be able to recall the event afterwards.” This occurred with 1 out of 10 patients in their study. But responding to the environment is much different than consciousness under anesthesia.

The second source was pay walled, but in the third from the BBC, it states “the unfortunate result is that a small proportion of people may lie awake for part or all of their surgery without any ability to signal their distress.” It’s important to remember it’s only a “small proportion” of folks!

I’ve unfortunately had more than 10 surgical procedures and I’m also a major odd ball when it comes to treatments for my autoimmune disorders. But I’ve never once had any issues with anethesia, aside from specific drugs making me irritable when coming too. You’ll almost certainly be fine. I found this research paper that’s super specific to your question: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2743249/

It covers how somewhere between 0.05% and 0.1% of patients undergoing anesthesia are aware of the operation during the procedure. While this is a truly minor proportion, it isn’t 0%, and this is one reason why surgery is a last resort. Regardless, the numbers are on your side and do your best not to manifest this into taking place during your operation!

Are you implying Mozilla paid AccuWeather to have placement on it’s browser? It’s always the other way around, think about Google paying to be the default search engine on Safari. If anything, I have to think Mozilla was paid to incorporate AccuWeather and not the other way around.
