More than 10 years ago, somebody shared this clip with me: https://youtu.be/zAFcV7zuUDA?is=QDFb5Wxd_tJ-pJ61

Been tying my shoelaces like this ever since.

Have migraines from childhood(semi regularly, few per month). There have been a period where it stopped completely for several months. Had medication prescribed, but did not like side effects much (getting high, blood pressure rising, etc), and since ibuprofen usually helps to mitigate it, I stuck with it(I only get a migraine like once a year that is unbearable, to the point of crying). Few months ago, went on again to "researching" (listening any podcast episodes I could find on migraines) this topic a bit, and what I heard that I missed before - there is a considerable percentage of people who get migraines from fermented foods(or at least a connection they have made). So eliminating such food lowered my migraine count quite a bit (but I still do get them - and I think a handful of them might be stress related).

"Creationism Banned from Science Classes by Scottish Government"

What's disturbing in this? It's not like they are going to hang everyone who mentions anything about creationism....
