Weird experience, watching relatives listen to Epiphany service today. All about reading Isaiah, Paul, and all about the waters of Jordan. So bitter, given the claim that it's all about God 'enlightening' people. In Palestine-Israel!! Religions contain much wisdom but a 'personal God' isn't just unfathomable, it is a crushingly misleading trope.
@ChrisMayLA6 This is just like reading ML King breathing fire against "gradualism" and hypocritical tokenism re. 'Negro Rights' exactly 60 years ago, in the months after the 1963 uprising in the US.
@ChrisMayLA6 @feditips can u slow it down a bit? the posts go by too quick to get a real flavour, let alone understand.

A bitcoin mining company made more money from being paid by the Texas government not to waste electricity ($31.7M) than it did from mining bitcoin ($8.9M) in August.

This is basically another ransomware business model enabled by Bitcoin 🤣

@lovelylovely I doubt that evangelicals are faking their admission that they frequently don't follow Jesus (ie sin). For me the problem is how often they honestly deceive themselves that they defend Christian values (esp. when they justify US militarism abroad).
Dear neuroscientists, is there a beginner's guide of replicability of between-group dynamic causal modelling out there? Where do I start? Can anyone e.g. @dr_rick_adams help?

Neuroscientists successfully test theory that forgetting is actually a form of learning https://medicalxpress.com/news/2023-08-neuroscientists-successfully-theory.html

Adaptive expression of engrams by retroactive interference https://www.cell.com/cell-reports/fulltext/S2211-1247(23)01010-0

Highlights
• Retroactive interference causes forgetting by the competition of two memory engrams
• Forgotten engrams can be expressed or updated by reexposure to training cues
• Artificial reactivation of engram cells rescues interference-induced forgetting
• Interference is an active process that requires the activation of the suppressed engram

these findings indicate that retroactive interference modules engram expression in a manner that is both reversible and updatable. Inference may constitute a form of adaptive forgetting where, in everyday life, new perceptual and environmental inputs modulate the natural forgetting process.

Neuroscientists successfully test theory that forgetting is actually a form of learning

Neuroscientists today report the first results from experimental tests designed to explore the idea that "forgetting" might not be a bad thing, and that it may represent a form of learning—and outline results that support their core idea.

🌊 ALASKA : FONTE RAPIDE D'UN GLACIER ET CRUE SOUDAINE

En Alaska, dans le grand Nord des USA, l'état d'urgence a été décrété dans la capitale de l’État, Juneau, suite aux inondations qui ont eu lieu le 5 août.

Le réchauffement climatique provoque des fissures dans un énorme glacier qui forme un barrage naturel en amont de la rivière Mendenhall. L'eau de la fonte des neiges qui s'accumule a ainsi été libérée d'un coup, et a entraîné une crue rapide et puissante qui a...

Contre Attaque

Scènes apocalytiques à #Hawaï qui vient de déclarer l'État d'urgence en raison d'énormes incendies, attisés par l'ouragan Dora.

Des habitants ont dû sauter dans l'océan pour échapper aux flammes. Les pompiers et les gardes-côtes annoncent être dépassés et avoir besoin de renforts. Les hôpitaux sont complètement saturés.

I lose my stuff and it usually turns out to be exactly where I put it. Makes me feel a fool. Anyone know any good online courses to improve my randomly-blame-the-spouse skills? Or at least government-blaming-skills?
