As would the Clipping song by the same name on their latest album that is heavily inspired by these stories as well!

That whole album is an absolute banger.

Site does not load, but for that conclusion, it takes forever. What is supposed to happen? Firefox w/ ublock origin.

I'm on Firefox with ublock origin and it works just fine.

Either way... the site is a store.. of sorts... for Greenday's "Dookie" album, where the songs are mixed down into various bizarre formats. They said de-mastered, and I was hoping that they were actually releasing the individual tracks. Sad.

Reminder: Trump was elected in 2016 despite most of the "elites" backing Clinton, and her campaign outspending his 2:1.

Yeah, but how much did that actually change? I mean, the media sensationalized every little thing that happened, to make people feel as if the world was ending (or being saved, depending on the news outlet). However, Corporations still ran the country through their bought-and-paid-for U.S. and state representatives, just as in administrations before and after.

>Why do so few researchers study them?

Because they're the ones funding medical research! nyuk nyuk!

Seriously though, as a health nut who tries to stay on the science side of things, I still see a lot of "It's Parasites!" stuff from the pseudo-science health community. As well as bizarre cures. Walnuts, Cloves and electric shock seem to come up the most.

I have tried to find any practical advice regarding detection, symptoms and such, and beyond tapeworms, heartworms and hookworms, there isn't much information.

In other news, guns don't kill people. People do. etc etc.

I'm curious what the motivation was for linking this now. This repo hasn't been updated in two years. Meanwhile, there are at least five other Rust MPMC queues in use that have been recently updated.

Is there something unique about its algorithm? I'm afraid the repo is low on documentation.

Is this effected by Microsoft's patent on various rAns coding and decoding?

If not, how does it avoid the (rather vague) claims?

Anyone got any other experiences with things that cause brain fog? I don't think I have sleep apnea (my wife often falls asleep after I do and she doesn't report any kind of weird breathing issues for me, nor snoring).

But even though I generally sleep 8 hours a night, I am quite tired during the day and I often have trouble focusing. At night, I fall asleep like a log and I don't wake up during the night.

Allergies and Food sensitivities.

These are often incredibly hard to diagnose because there are foods that we eat so commonly, we don't have a good control/variable separation for experimentation. In addition, allergies and food sensitivities don't develop all at once. They increase over time. This makes discovery even more difficult.

But it's almost always this.

As for myself, I had severe brain fog and fatigue. It turns out I was allergic to coffee. Looking back, I now see that it was something that became more and more severe over about 10 years.

It took me quitting coffee for several weeks for an unrelated reason to discover that it was the problem. When I started again, the stark difference in how I was felt made it much easier to diagnose. I got lucky really.

I'm a bit concerned that they don't mention a particular strain of B. Subtilis.

There are hundreds of documented strains, and they don't all eat/produce the same things (at least not in the same ratios)

Some have been documented to reduce inflammation and restore tight-junction function in epithelial walls (where other strains did not).

Others have been shown to reverse the accumulation of α-synuclein. That has been implicated as a cause or symptom of Parkinson's disease.
