Hi,
I've been reading about how the brain processes magnitudes in general and numbers in particular, and keep coming across mentions of the distance and size effects. For context, Wikipedia touches on it at Weber–Fechner law § Numerical cognition, and there's a better outline in this viewpoint...
[long post, lots of brainstorming]
Hi,
for quite a while, I've been trying to come up with a reproductive scheme that's sufficiently different from ours to have interesting implications, obvious as well as less obvious ones, without getting too complicated or contrived. This would be the...
As I said, none of the risk factors they mention apply, so I can't imagine it having been that cut and dry in my case. What I can easily imagine is a tiny amount of vaccine getting deposited or transferred sub-q during withdrawal of the needle. Maybe that's enough?
In fact, now that I think...
I tried googling before posting, but failed to come up with search terms that distinguished this from descriptions of the initial vaccination reaction, and those swamped the results to the point that I quickly gave up.
I only thought of the term "recur" while posting, though, and should have...
Spring '21 (Janssen), Autumn '21 (Pfizer), Spring '22 (Moderna). All in the left (non-dominant) deltoid. Needless to say, I have no real idea how closely they were spaced, so I had no way of telling if what hurt yesterday was one or all of those.
Other than possibly mild muscle ache and fatigue...
I got my first COVID infection sometime last weekend (best guess). Mild symptoms kicked in Monday evening (in retrospect). Spent most of yesterday in bed with fever chills, a bit worse and longer-lasting than the aftereffects of the earlier COVID vaccinations. Test this morning confirmed COVID...
I don't know how common this is, but some glassware that looks like it's a single piece is actually several pieces stuck together. Like, a bottle or glass may consist of an open tube and a separate bottom. I imagine whatever they use for glue is going to be a likelier source of impurities than...
Cheers! I thought "insect hotel!" as soon as I saw your picture, and that Wikipedia article mentions the more specialized https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bee_hotel as well. Silly of me not to have the connection right away or at least from the previous posts here, really!
From said article:
Thanks!
The de.wikipedia articles mention that the two have very different hatching behaviours: Carpenters grow quickly, emerge the same spring, are active during summer and autumn, and then hibernate before laying eggs themselves the next spring. Leafcutters grow so slowly that they hibernate...
[Wikipedia says it's called "dichromacy", not "bichromacy".]
"White" seems the more basic concept, so it may be more apt to say that it's "magenta" that's surplus to requirements. In that sense, the entire idea of "colour" all but vanishes, really. Mixing red and blue no longer makes something...
My apartment's balcony door is wide open more often than not. This time of year, that tends to mean that insects keep flying in and out. Most of them, or at least most of the ones that are large and/or loud enough for me to notice, are bee and wasp types. They behave quite differently from the...
