Benign fasciculation. It only used to happen after walking, and in my quads and calves. I swam competitively in division III and never happened in my upper body. I never worried about it. For folks that don't understand the minimal and random nature of the ticks, here's a good video.

I've found both CBT and DBT helpful.

The ONLY reason I have gone back the last couple weeks is to read a couple of the entertaining malicious compliance subs. r/videos mods rock!

Do you include folks with level 3 non verbal autism with greater epilepsy frequency and self harm in the group that doesn't need a therapy?

Don't need the homeless. You can pluck a hair, donate your blood, or even take a plug of your foreskin if you have one, to generate the neural stem cells from iPSC, the cell type they use in this process.

Yep, I always ask for the bag of frozen shrimp, and smack my husband upside the head when he buys the thawed stuff. I've TOLD you, over and over, get the frozen bag!!

Me at 8 weeks wondering what all the fuss is about.

Remember a couple three decades ago when we would shake our heads at the chaos of Italian politics with coalitions, porn stars, and nazis? We were so superior.

I'm worried it's the end of an era. They have really high quality product, all of it!

Thank you for a legit belly laugh.

I do this to not waste even a drop of the precious liquid flavor gold that are egg yolks.

I already actively avoid the shithole that is YouTube, as in I refuse to follow a link if it's YouTube and Google another path for what I need. Stopped Reddit, my only social media app last June, and now only on Lemmy a couple, the times per week. 5-10 years ago I used to complain about how bad Google was getting, little did I know how truly useless it would get.

Yes!

Ffuuuuuccckkkk meeeeee

WHY did you make me realize this?

Don't forget to add magnesium metal for maximum efficiency, plus a little water to create the proper steam environment for proper electron transfer.

Meat: get a ThermaPen instant read thermometer and cook meats to 120 for rare, 125 for med rare and 135 for medium. Pull the meat off heat 5 d before it hits you desired temp.

Oh I would totally only stop to sleep and vacation.

As an oncology researcher, to do my job I have to pay approximately $30-60 per article for about half the articles in my 1500 article library for my CAR cell therapy research.

The scientific field is slowly improving over the last 10 years, but it still sucks, and I can only read the abstract for free, which doesn't provide enough details for my layperson research on topics like behavior or autophagy.

I'm one of the lucky few that has an institutional subscription, and most companies don't pay for institutional subscriptions. Also, I can't, as someone suggested, hack into the University wifi which is a half hour away and still do my job onsite.

Don't you mean Monday to Friday snake?

There's one obscure sub I was active on that I still feel bad not reading, as I was a fairly experienced in the topic contributor. There are most likely a few folks on there noticing my absence including the mods. I just haven't been back once since June. I knew feel like maybe I should have said something.

Holy crap I can watch seasons 2-4 of Rake!!!

Thank you thank you thank you!!!

Now I'm going to walk around the grocery store parking lot just to watch people get in their cars.

Obligatory 'came for The Expanse'. And Peaky Blinders is in a comment just about this one and agreed.. And Community cuz I like the song and the series.

You win

K, I was waiting for a pee one. Women that have had children might know this from their OB/Gyn telling them this if they have problems starting peeing after pregnancy. When I pee I tickle my back at the base of my spine. There's a nerve ending there that stimulates the bladder and amplifies the sensation of bladder relief a billion times. It's addictive and I can't stop! Please tell me I'm not alone.

Original scientific article link for those interested. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8379704/

In humans a 12 month OS change from 35-40% to 65% is impressive. I would be super excited about a therapy for my pup that would add 6 months to my pup's life. The median survival improvement from 307 days to 478 days is enough for me to ask for that therapy instead of chemo and amputation for my pup's osteosarcoma or other HER2 driven cancers.

I'm 59 and I went gradually in the last 15 years from barely being able to sit cross legged to now I can't even touch my right toe (chronic groin problem) let alone sit cross legged.

You have to look at other body language components along with the lick. This is a lick is missing some stress signals that may mean it's less anxiety driven or only partly anxious. A video would be more informative.

There is no whale eye here (whites of the eyes), eyebrows are 'somewhat' relaxed (not totally sleepy relaxed, but not ridgidly flexed either), ears are not flattened/down in an anxious position (see the linked article below for stressed vs relaxed face and note Clara's whale eye, folded ears, and eyebrows in the stressed image).

Rigid eyebrows in a stressed expression: a great read on stressed vs relaxed face side by side pick of the same dog: https://eileenanddogs.com/blog/2013/02/14/dog-facial-expressions-stress/

Here's a good example of stress vs relaxed lip licks: https://youtu.be/kMirei9-n18

Get more depressed and add intense anxiety to the mix.

If my depression is bad, but not suicidal bad, then I overeat. If it's suicidal bad, I stop eating.

K, riffing on rain. Sorry, on a tangent, but this will work for me:

Purple Rain" by Prince "November Rain" by Guns N' Roses "Have You Ever Seen the Rain?" by Creedence Clearwater Revival "Rain" by The Beatles "Rainy Day Women #12 & 35" by Bob Dylan "Here Comes the Rain Again" by Eurythmics "I Can't Stand the Rain" by Ann Peebles "Rainy Night in Georgia" by Brook Benton "Rain King" by Counting Crows

Only one missing is the REM song.

For anyone interested, just Google "stereoscopic dissecting microscope used". The 'used' part is to makes it less expensive. They can cost a lot. I used to use my lab sonicator water bath to clean my jewelry, and our dissecting scope to check the jewelry to make sure all the skin crud is gone from every crevice.

And cloudberries! I want to taste cloudberries!

This is the best description of what short term hospitalization is like. The severe car accident analogy is great. In patient hospitalization is like being in the ICU to stabilize, and then you have to do the thousands of hours of physical therapy afterwards to get back to full functionally. I've been in a US PHP program twice in the last 25 years and the second time in 2007 started with 11 days of in patient hospitalization after a suicide attempt. The folks that hate in patient hospitalization most likely are early in their mental health journey (2000-3000 hours of various therapies, workshops, and PHP for me so far).

Being early in your mental health awareness makes the lack of control in an in patient hospitalization terrifying.

For me the 11 days were a godsend, and I needed the doc to stabilize me on my new meds. They weren't going to release me until they're saw me improve on the SSRIs and that took 11 days. I was then put into an outpatient program for 3 months. I will say the outpatient programs and my workshops are where I did the heavy lifting wrt emotional learning, learning CBT and DBT, etc. Those two PHP stints laid the foundation for my recovery.

I for one, look forward to interacting with our sentient overlord artists. All hail AI.

Someone create a cowboy Godzilla on horseback herding cattle?

Think about Alan Turing getting on Facebook and seeing posts from friends or acquaintances showing beautiful sunset pictures of a friend proposing to his boyfriend. We don't need to go back 50 years for that wonder and amazement. I have 50-60 year old friends that shake their heads in awe at the freedoms 20 and 30 somethings have compared to what my friends had to endure even in the 80s.

Sorry, I don't know how complex your team's role is, but in our environment of oncology research this individual is not improving their behavior, is disruptive, using your niceness, and I would put them on a PIP to improve or let go. The folks on the spectrum that I've worked with do not react with kicked puppy face, instead they're profoundly grateful for the social guidance and try to improve. This guy honestly sounds a little manipulative.

Beautiful.

Oh My God. I do the same thing when I'm cozy in bed falling asleep! It's so comforting!

I like to give my corn syrup a little texture with a pancake, but just a tiny bit.
