"While the general population is commonly exposed to animal viruses and bacteria, many of which are known to cause cancer in animals, the etiologic role of these exposures in human cancer remains speculative. For example, animal oncoviruses generally are species specific and do not infect or replicate easily in humans. Nevertheless, animal viruses conceivably may cause cancer in humans analogous to human and simian polyomaviruses causing tumors in non-permissive rodents. Epidemiologic studies to date have provided little evidence that animal viruses and bacteria cause human cancer. Future studies will need to address the complex nature of cancer taking into account multiple interacting risk factors, and perhaps a non-stationary stochastic risk that contradicts conventional research design. The latter may be especially true given the waxing and waning behavior of viruses and bacteria. The same infectious agent may present and react differently depending on a host of factors including geography, seasonal variation and climate, population density, and herd immunity. Travel, hygiene, and cultural variation in food consumption and preparation among individuals further complicate the epidemiologic study in this field."
I've got a friend who became Orthodox a few years before Russia even invaded Crimea in 2014, he does the fasts. They are hardcore. He's a good guy and to see how politicized Orthodoxy has become the past decade or so makes me sad, he just believes it's the correct church, as opposed to Catholicism or Protestants. I can't say I agree with him but at least some of those Orthodox people are cool. Not all though, I've met some who were real tools, and any flavor of Christianity leaves a bad taste in my mouth.
It's all good. I looked at Scientific American's recent articles and none were about Europa. Also nobody has posted on Lemmy about Europa (the moon) in the past 2 weeks. A mystery that may never be solved.
Haha wow Evanescence's singer is there. This so close to when popular music started being for millenials rather than Gen X. Sticking with this vid for archaeological reasons
Oh god. I was thinking more Metallica or Megadeth, or even a metal-adjacent hard rock Guns and Roses, something more on the old side of the great metal/nu-metal divide.
Aren't Syrian rue or harmala MAOI or adjacent? I've never seen it mentioned anywhere outside of early 00s Erowid or Lycaeum forums, which I visited as a non-psychonaut to enjoy the stories.
Those look like the kind of bone a cartoon dog would he chewing on. Something might be written on each of them?
