Because of this paper: https://www.frontiersin.org/journals/behavioral-neuroscience...

(and having had twice the experience of autoimmune related illnesses making people close to me very aggressive until diagnosed and treated; and it was 1:1 always with things that made inflammation go up, aggression went up. In retrospect. And the opposite: things that reduced aggression always have an inflammation-reducing aspect)

I'm fairly sure that part of the reason they reduce neuroinflammation is because of pulmonary GLP-1 mechanisms. (Lung and brain are quite intimately connected, as is inflammation to the other two. As well as the gut. And… metabolism.)

Neuroinflammation is very behavior-modifying.

(Neuroinflammation kind of makes sense as an untamperable side-channel of information for neuronal processes – out of band; Protective. Can't think yourself to death.)

There's tons of papers to read. You wouldn't believe how much accurate and correct and actionable and predictive scientific information exists that nobody reads.

Read primary sources. Anyone can read. Don't let anyone tell you that you can't read. Least of all yourself.

Setting aside what they're for, Linux handheld gaming devices are kind of a perfect fit for a minor "house computer". Made cheap by commodification. Flexible. Sadly no GPIO in these I think but tack on an RP2350 and we're golden.

Strip or modify the chassis and embed them hidden or with the screen facing out. Kachinng.

We're unconscious of how unconscious we are?, and it's good to… what's the term, suffer gladly and give gladly? To own one's unconsciousness and raise it, and expect and see others' unconscious going about major things in life - to see it coldly as well as warmly.

I find this is more accurate and safer than assuming consciousness in everyone, and it also reveals so clearly people who do cast that light; and see.

It's less desolate! I promise! Sounds like it's worse but it's not. That's the tricky-get-into-words part, you know?

(kidding!

It's oversold, or beautiful artistic expression of something. Bleak, yes; Stark; Also beautiful.

The thing it expresses is… a thing. We're not at all as conscious as… we think?, as we portray ourselves?, to others and/or ourselves? And it's magical to view people as… partially unconscious to a significant degree while also loving them and with respect.)

I was misreading due to — I think noticeable — negativity in other comments.

What's with the ridiculous condescension?

I'm also glad that little person you typed your little comments with your fingers! That you created such a fun little comment! And that you shared it with us. Wowie! Good job.

Serotonin is among other things a nausea and thermoregulation neurotransmitter, and has to do with cognition. Most serotonin in the body is synthesized in the gut – a highly enervated endothelial membrane – transported by platelets, and metabolized in the lung.

SARS-CoV-2 is known to damage endothelium, known to cause really weird platelet and blood clotting issues like platelet necroptosis and infection and alteration of bone marrow platelet progenitor cells, known to cause lung injury. In a whole bunch of ways.

The other half of self-interest in being nice is the training and getting better at it.

I like ZGC. And having the IDE grab more RAM immediately on startup than the default. Something like Xms=4g or however it's done.

I cannot understand why Jetbrains keep the VM settings as constrained as they do. It's a big difference.
