I'd really like to see what effect Opipramol/Insidon has on COVID patients. If the results were similar to Fluvoxamine, that would very strongly suggest that the mechanism of action is via the σ1 receptor.

Attacking pets is a big reason for coyotes' unpopularity in the North Eastern US too. Our coyotes are also hybrids of wolves and western coyotes which makes them a bit larger than their western cousins and more dangerous to dogs.

I'm going to take a very, maybe excessively, cyclical view on this and claim that the feds were using basically excessive force specifically to intimidate anyone who might get a similar ideas. Then again without raids, it's possib

I agree with your first sentence at least. Conspiracies -- from what led to Jan. 6th to Watergate to John Brown's Raid to the XYZ affair -- absolutely exist. But the word has been so completely conflated with absurd, even insane ideas,

Yep OP has it backwards. Epee is the one-hit, entire-body-is-a-target, double-touch-counts sport. These sorts of rules should be good for the sport, so long as they don't encourage excessive aggression and risk-taking. From what little

I agree that immigrant doctors should have an easier time practicing (and that we should be producing more doctors regardless of their origin). I think that the overall lack of qualified medical workers did lead to unnecessary deaths during

I'd go further: many people died because the healthcare industry has embraced efficiency (likely not the precisely right word) at the expense of robustness.

And France, believe it or not. Somehow the notion that penmanship, under professional scrutiny, can reveal enough about a person to influence a job interview or mental health wormed its way into French (probably a few other countries as wel

Your right and I'm sorry for misrepresenting your argument. The RC Church does have a sordid history that anyone belonging to it (from the Pope on down) has somehow to come to terms with. Hopefully, the recent scandals will lead to a b

From Epstein to Savile to Weinstein, sexual abuse and cover-up is clearly not a uniquely Catholic or religious problem. By blaming religion alone, you're ignoring the other mechanisms that allow this to happen. With regard to this pa

Doesn't "deconstruction" (both the word and idea) come from the German philosopher Heidegger and not from Bourdieu?

The Church deserves criticism for many things over the ages, but its aesthetic sensibilities ain't one.

Very impressive, comprehensive work. Seemingly accurate results for belladonna and xenon :)

You may be right, but could your bias towards those who don't use Standard English (Orthography) be influencing your judgement of their reasoning skills? I wonder what a study comparing the reasoning skills of a user of SE communicatio

I'm pretty sure that some of the more outlandish claims of Everett (the big Piraha guy) have been cut down to size by his peers. Especially that boo-ha-ha over the Piraha's lack of recursion. If you're interested I have a fe

This 1000x. It's not the scientific miracle the press makes it out to be. While it is incredible that it restores speech, it's not resorting as language as some sources have claimed. This ain't gonna fix most aphasias.

You're right about Okinawa (and the rest of your comment), but it was so lop-sided (if I recall correctly, even the captain of the Yamamoto understood it as a suicide mission) that I think it was hardly a test of the Navy's war-fi

I suspect this is common across rural North America. Here in my corner of the east it's notoriously fond of sending unwitting tourists down unmaintained back roads that are barely usable even in summer. At least the foot of snow blocki

For anyone interested, another more sympathetic figure to contrast with Marat and the like is Camille Desmoulins. A lawyer before the revolution, he engaged in the same 'rage-culture' diatribes as Marat -- until he realized he had

Yeah talk about misfortune. I once read an account of a Ragusan merchant ship that was pressed into the Armada. Imagine being a run-of-the-mill Ragusan sailor one day, then, several hellish months later, trying desperately to navigate the I

The way I've viewed it for a long time is that they're a spin of the roulette wheel for wealthy young adults. You expect to lose, but there's a slim chance you'll win big, and even if you don't, you've not lost

You can smoke a pipe all day long (within reason) and it won't make a tolerant user sick, so long as the smoke isn't inhaled and you use quality tobacco and a good wooden filter. Pipe (and cigar) tobacco is not meant to be smoked

Tuft's Perseus confirms your second comment, and more interestingly, cites examples of kuanos from all of Hesiod's major works. Why would Hesiod have a word for dark bluish stuff and Homer lack one? They were written around the sa

The author's right about everything but the date this mess started. I worked in Health IT in the early 2010s, and this sort of thing was in full swing by 2013ish. Profitability was clearly the motivation, although the patient (and the

I hope it doesn't. I'd like to see a world without racism and with hip hop. Also, there have been so many changes in the popular sub-genres of hip hop, with each new generation of musicians altering the popular form (maybe not alw
