I have lyme disease and I'm concerned of passing it to someone else through kissing/having sexual intercourse. Officially, the CDC says it cannot spread. However, I have heard many people online claim that it CAN spread.I'm not sure how to approach this, if I should tell others, and what I should do to make sure I won't spread it to others.Can I ask your opinion of this /sci/, if you happen to know anything about lyme disease? I have a feeling some people on here will at least.
>>16387172>magic the gathering in 2024How is this still relevant in this day and age
This disease is so fucked up, makes me never want to go outside.

>>16387153>lyme diseasecaused by bacteriaonce those are gone from your antibiotics treatment you no longer have lyme diseasebut you may develop PTLDS (post-treatment lyme disease syndrome)this may be due to autoimmunity, damage or damage to your metabolism. it could be the same thing as post-acute infection syndrome (ME/CFS is another example)proponents of persistent infection do not call this PTLDS, but chronic lyme disease in reference to what they see as a persistent infectionbut this persistent infection remains unproven and long-term antibiotic therapy has been shown to be ineffective in resolving symptomsif you do happen to develop joint pain, then try a ketogenic diet for a couple of months, I've seen peoples nerve and joint pain improve drastically on it and there's a good chance that it will help you heal
Winter is cooming and my father is already shidding himself over Euro regulations when it comes to heating with solid fuels.He contacted a company that makes pic related which really looks like snake oil to me.It's an insert that you put into chimney and it supposedly:>increases heating efficiency (reduced fuel consumption) up to 40%>reduces various emissions such as carbon monoxide, NOx, various unspecified organic compounds, dust and more>Improves draft stability and improves resistance to wind back-draft>Blocks out rain so it doesn't rain down the chimney I can get two last lines as true, doesn't take a genius how it helps with those two things but the rest?I mean, how 4.2kg (9.25 freedom-units) of stainless steel sheet metal without moving parts is able to do all those miraculous things?Mind you, my boomer father is rather gullible when it comes to such things and instantly believes everything that is said on the internet, a trait which he carried over from TV.He was right though about few things, like starting fire in fireplace at the top which resulted in less soot and cleaning required, although no noticeable savings in fuel which he probably was mostly after.There's very little documentation on how this works provided by the producer. They do however supply buyers with bunch of papers that basically boil down to "the experts agree this thing works, here their stamp of approval". Nothing about their testing methodology in those papers though, just bunch of data.
>>16386202This is dependent on adjustability. If there isn't any adjustment happening then it won't be able to maximize fireplace efficiency. It can be too open or too closed for the desired fire intensity.
>>16386202I'm going to vote for scam.First off, the principle is right about combustion, but the place to fix that is in the hearth, that is why there are fireplace inserts with fans. The electric fan and sensors in the insert maximize combustion. Fireplace inserts work; I doubt doing anything at the top of the chimney has any effect. Secondly, when they made your chimney, the builder should have tested it for flow, and adjusted its height and bore accordingly. Unfortunately, most modern houses with fireplaces are made to be decorative, not effective, since the house is heated with a furnace, not a hearth. So, assuming the chimney flows properly -- which is dependent upon its height, and the flow of air in your neighborhood, and your builder -- your best bet for efficiency is an hearth insert, not something that is messing with the already maximized flow of your chimney.
>>16386694yeah that's what I'm thinkingbasically if fireplace and chimney was put together by someone competent (which usually means recently, not like a pre-war build) I doubt there's much to improve upon. Especially if there's thin or no smoke at all after fireplace fully warmed up since it signifies there's enough oxygen and heat for complete burn, meaning everything that could be turned into heat was turned into heat. Increased airflow in this situation decreases efficiency as now more hot air escapes trough chimney than it should.I think best investment here would be a roof cam pointed at chimney where I can see how much smoke goes out and adjust draft flaps in hearth appropriately.

Will this kind of nuclear industrial heating offer a significant competitive advantage to the Chinese petrochemical industry? Or will it make no difference?

>>16387873>>16387877fruits have protein, (((they))) just don't talk about it.>>16387871The main problem is the sugar in fruit, called fructose, and the related fructans, pectin, and alcohols, and to some extent the water content too.Basically you'd have to go through a diarrhea hazing period, until your body is used to it after a couple of months or so, and by then your body won't be able to probably handle any other food and you'd have to go through another hazing period of alternating diarrhea and constipation if you want to switch back to eating like people.

If you believe mathematical singularities(math error) are real physical objects that float around in space you belong in a mental asylum.
>>16388520good thing all the other solutions to einstein field equations for rotating black holes also deliver a schwarzschild radius (or whatever you prefer to call it) and match observations.

When Elon said "Atari graphics for now", he means everything invasive surgery with new technology can give you is something like a 20x20 bit graphics phosphene-based matrix that could stop working in 5 years (which is when you need new invasive brain surgery). Has been demonstrated years ago and probably the neuroscientific people (of whom many come from psychology, a field that does not attract and partly alienates nerds) convinced him that this is the hottest shit while the same can be reached with an electrotactile tongue display, of which there are multiple devices FDA approved on the market with the same resolution. If they reach for the higher visual cortex it would be dope though
>>16389430you can get his books on zlib.https://singlelogin.re/I recommend watching some of his lectures as well. Unfortunately due to this being small effort by relatively few people back in the 80's and 90's it doesn't really meet the most rigorous scientific standards. No one wants to touch this subject so no professional research ever got done. Mack and his colleagues did their best to be as stringent as possible though. Mack was legit. He has roots in a lot of places and was involved in the Ruwa Zimbabwe case if you are familiar with that. Also worth checking out Budd Hopkins and David Jacobs. One was a painter the other a professor of history. Probably the most rag tag group ever assembled but they got some interesting results. It's really eerie to read these accounts when you've experienced something yourself, but It's also just a good read if you are just curious about the subject, even if you are skeptical.
What causes outbreeding depression? Does it happen in humans too?
>>16384029So that certainly suggests that outbreeding whites are self selecting for low quality genes, I'm curious then what the stereotypes from the second race category are, whether the asian women or black men are also lower or higher quality examples of their racial group

>>16384073If it works that way in animals is it stil theory?
>>16384073What's an alternative?
You can find quite reliable estimates of inbreeding depression effects in animal and plant studies.Generally you find in populations with a tendency towards historical inbreeding that they don't experience significant inbreeding depression due to purging.For outbreeding I'm not so familiar with the literature it seems less well explored since it's harder to regulate.

>>16385682what are orbits?
>>16385682Sure it is, I'm perpetually banging ur mom lmao
>>16385682Easiest way to think about it - as any two systems move towards some kind of equilibrium, it gets exponentially harder to get any kind of usable work out of them (to move them out of equilibrium). Shifting that system out of equilibrium and doing work means bringing in another system that's out of equilibrium with the others, but you eventually run into the same problem.

>>16388208It's particularly frustrating because I know colleagues, good researchers, who will fucking AGONIZE over the content of their papers - scraping through drafts for weeks looking for anything that might be out of place or could be worded better.
