I think we can use children conceived through IVF, in comparison to non IVF conceived children, and a number of psychological tests to isolate if it is when one is conceived or when they are birthed that dictates personality. Anyone willing to fund my study?

Definitely. Also, the time of year your parents conceived you determines your personality for the rest of your life 👍🏻

yes. random planets and asteroids millions of miles away control their emotions. 🤓

Just got the stickers from @bitcoin.rocks and tomorrow I’ll start searching for other interesting places to leave them. 😀

Naw unfortunately nostr is gonna stay niche for a while.

It’s probably never gonna be for the normies.

We’re pretty much starting our own breakaway society.

Am I the only one who walks on the streets, sometimes with a smile, looking at random people and thinking in my mind about how many sats I own, while they have no clue? 😁

TBH I've always liked the dumps better than the pumps.

Everybody's a bitcoiner when that shit's pumping.

Only the true believers buy & hold when it's dumping.

It can be, but over time i have come to learn which plants can tolerate our weather. Our bigger issue is summer heat and drought.

I’m not a doomsayer, but our planet is not infinite is all I’m saying. And we absolutely are damaging the ecosystem in ways that will take 1000s of years to recover from.

And I say that owning an ICE car, and burning the shit outta this LP has to stay warm.

There has always been uncertainty, the world has always gone through famine and wars. The thing is nowadays people wanna act as teenagers forever. They don’t want to commit to a partner and obviously they don’t want to commit to having kids and building a family. Because that requires responsibility and being altruistic. People just want to fuck around, have superficial relationships, complain about the stupid ex gf/bf that don’t care about them and the list of stupid and immature behaviour is endless. 😢

The wealthier nation gets and more educated, the less people fornicate with the purpose of having offsprings 🐶🐾🫡🤷‍♂️

Principled chiropraTORS look to remove interferences (called subluxations) so that you can have a proper and unimpeded nervous system flow to every part of your body. They do this with precision via an adjustment (not a "manipulation"), which gets to the root of a whole lot of issues. A typical back pain that shows up suddenly is just revealing ("suddenly") what was lurking under the surface for who knows how long. Just like any other profession, there are good chiro's and bad ones. Look for a practice that is full of people who take responsibility for their own health seriously and make a healthy spine and nervous system part of their lifestyle. Watch out for docs who are deep in the weeds of an insurance model or are happy just to see you only when you're in pain (that's kind of like saying you'll only eat healthy when you're sick). Many chiros also coach in lifestyle and dietary issues. It's worth finding a good one; ask around as the best ones are always word of mouth. The AMA tried to put them out of business and they're still at it with their ultra rare neck-stroke stories that not only provide no context but fail to address how many people die every year due to properly prescribed medications. I happen to be married to a principled Chiro (one who understands the history, philosophy, and art of chiropractic) but after seeing the decades of results of those who get adjusted and those who don't, I pray I'll never be far from getting my spine checked and receiving a good chiropractic adjustment when needed (esp before pain shows up). In any case, I hope you feel better real soon.

i learned this week that i really like the cold.

once it drops below 20 degrees F, or -7 C, i feel amazing.

especially on cold days with a clear sky.

Mentally preparing for 9 months of "this is the most important election in American history" on repeat.

I know someone who is a doctor of Osteopathic Medicine. They would not recommend you to see a chiropractor but they said something once that I thought was interesting which was that chiropractors are doing the same kind of "manipulations" as she would or could but that chiropractors do them in situations where they would be considered too high risk and that she would be more likely to go a physical therapy route rather than a quick adjustment with a patient. I thought it was revealing because its essentially saying yeah there is something to what they are doing but not addressing root causes.

I have gone to a chiropractor before, been adjusted, several times etc. And many in my family have. I would say the only time I have witnessed a chiropractor actually fix something was when a family members rib seemed to be dislocated after sleeping on their stomach. It hurt to breath deeply. The chiropractor performed a manipulation, there was a pop and all was normal after that, pain went away.

There are some cases of strokes following neck manipulations by chiropractors. which I presume ii part of what my doctor friend would point to. they are rare but there is an association.

Finally in my own journey to remedy pain I found "trigger point" massage. Which is worth looking into. I have seen remarkable results in people from15 minutes, increasing range of motion and reducing pain. a book online can help you find and apply it to yourself. For myself I use a combo of massage, ice, and over the counter pain relievers, I think what I have are run of the mill migraines that flare from time to time starting in my shoulders up the neck and across my face/ temple-cheeck. Good luck hope you find a resolution .

How deep is that ?
