I've had similar issues a while ago and I was able to resolve them. Of course everyone is different but in case you want to check: for me the cause was that my bite was off, not balanced across all teeth and my jaw was being pushed back. I Resolved it by re-aligning the teeth, moving jaw forward and having special retainer that I can clench on at night without issues.


I used to wear a special bite splint / alignment device thing after I had the misfortune of an accident that messed up my jaw in my teens. To this day, one side of teeth make contact before the other side by just a mm or 2.

My teeth don't grind at night, but the next time I head to the dentist I'll look into seeing if I can have the issue corrected... worth a shot!

Thanks for the suggestion!

Edit for more info:

My wife helps out with back and neck massages, and my traps (neck and between the shoulder blades) usually have knots on the days I have trouble. I plan on ruling out weak traps and other muscular imbalances for good this spring, but as I mentioned in my initial comment, I have had three different rounds of PT sessions with different workout strategies over the last decade, and still no resolution (nor improvement during/after).

This tension thing waxes and wanes just like the other symptoms, but far more frequently.


Has there been any plan to compensate victims of the vaccines? either deaths or heart inflammation or other side effects? Any plan to approve and understand vaccine's effects should also come with proper system to compensate and acknowledge the risks.. But I feel that this has been avoided from the start to remove any liability.


In case you are wondering like me, it’s only about mammals. Here is the full biomass picture : https://www.visualcapitalist.com/all-the-biomass-of-earth-in...



This is not true. https://www.history.com/news/egypts-oldest-papyri-detail-gre... There are plenty or records about the pyramid constructions, it was also proven that they were built by a paid voluntary workforce rather than slaves like most people believe.


That describes a project receiving pyramid facing stones quarried from white Tufa limestone.

But I doubt there is any indication whether this was for maintenance work, or original construction.

Pharaohs were always embarking on patch-up and upgrade projects on ancient stuff, and tagging everything they touched with their personal cartouches (often having their predecessors' chiseled out, first). So it is very hard to know who really built what, or when. The Sphinx is officially ascribed to a Pharaoh who leaned a stela on it bragging about maintenance work he had ordered (a thing there are also a lot of).

But they never tagged pyramids.


Just cos they were technically paid don't mean they weren't de facto slaves


Some things never change I guess...


Well hey, that's news to me, and utterly fascinating!

Thank-you.


Yeah, that papyrus is bonkers. Imagine what still exists out there in the desert!


We can only hope there's one that details the process of the laying of the stones.


Or the landing of the spacecraft :)

Papyrus describing laying is unlikely unless it somehow related to accounting.

But, do you know the Shabakti stone? That is supposedly a copy of a first dynasty papyrus by the Nubian pharaohs. While likely to be embellished, no reason not to believe. Helps describe the role of Ptah, the god of design.


The French version: https://www.geoportail.gouv.fr/carte?c=6.89051647838162,45.9...

you have the entire country at down to 1:3000, but the best ones are around 1:25000.


Two questions:

- who pays $28 for icons you have to install yourself one by one?!

- most of these icons are protected by copyright/trademark laws, how is still legal?


"nearly 40 percent of patients sick enough to be hospitalized were age 20 to 54"

So yes, they are low risk because they get priority in the hospitals. But when the hospital is full, what will happen to them?

https://www.nytimes.com/2020/03/18/health/coronavirus-young-...


Hospitalization does not imply high risk. That article also has an unnecessarily wide range to make the data meaningless. Why are 20 year olds and 54 year olds bucketed in the same category?

For more accurate data, 0 deaths have occurred in Italy for those under 30. Under 40, the few (9) are due to severe pre-existing conditions. Median age for fatality is 80 years old.

The exponential curve not only applies for rate of infection but seems to be holding true for age as well.

Not sure why you are being downvoted rather than argued with.

Here is part of the problem: hospitalization and ICU don't necessarily mean the patient will die as long as we have the resources to hospitalize, intubate and medicate the patient.

Once we are out of respirators and the like, then the death rate with these patients will spike.

In Italy, we are seeing younger patients face graver conditions over time as the medical system gets overrun. [citation needed if someone help me dig one up? I can't remember where I read this]

this could be for a number of reasons though:

1. younger people feel invulnerable and go out more

2. underlying conditions in these people x a large population

3. overwhelmed hospitals

Likely, some combination of the above.


These are all unsubstantiated claims that I am pushing back on against the mainstream narrative. Can you cite data for:

1. "Seeing younger patients facing graver conditions" - are we seeing excess mortality rates amongst the younger population in Italy as we speak (compared to say this time last year)?


I don't know man, seems like you could do a simple google search and find a ton of references:

https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/europe/coronavirus-...

https://www.nbcnews.com/health/health-news/not-just-older-pe...

The virus grows fast so the question is what % of people of a particular category who have it will need an ICU/hospital to prevent their death.


could you please share a source? I dont think your comment deserves to be downvoted like it is, but a source on the data you mention would be very helpful.


He is right on 0 deaths in Italy, Spain has one but 15% hospitalized rate.

https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.vox.com/platform/amp/2020/3...


This article from yesterday has a decent summary of case fatality rates by age in various countries: https://www.vox.com/2020/3/23/21190033/coronavirus-covid-19-...



I don't know why you're getting downvoted on this, the range they choose is super weird.

The actual report says that people under 19 comprise 2% of hospitalizations -- I doubt it suddenly jumps to 38% for the next 5 years. It also says there are no known fatalities of people under 19.


Even better: Chickpeas, canned, 1 cup 1.1mg of vitamin B6 55% DV Source: https://ods.od.nih.gov/factsheets/VitaminB6-HealthProfession...

And let's not talk about their claim that omega3 cannot be found in plants or that vitamin D can only come from supplements...


"Others are found in vegan foods, but only in meagre amounts; to get the minimum amount of vitamin B6 required each day (1.3 mg) from one of the richest plant sources, potatoes, you’d have to eat about five cups’ worth (equivalent to roughly 750g or 1.6lb). Delicious, but not particularly practical."

Yep, that was a total strawman argument. I read it, and wondered why potato was chosen? Just to make the point, I guess; but that speaks to the sensationalist urge plaguing the author.

There was also no information about any conflicts of interest. I'd be interested in knowing if there were any?


I don't know much about this, so please correct me if I'm wrong, but plant based omega 3's have a horrible conversion rate don't they?


They have a lesser conversion rate, but what most paleo/anti-vegan arguments neglect to mention in terms of plant omega-3 sources is that if you simply eat more total ALA, the net omega-3 will be the same to your body. Seems obvious, but people never seem to acknowledge that. It's not such a lesser conversion rate that this isn't practical or possible. Not to mention there's studies showing alternative benefits of ALA despite having less conversion rate overall. Similarly with krill oil -- there's less EPA/DHA compared to fish oil per gram but it's utilized differently by the body and has shown variations in bioavailability when measured (krill vs fish oil is an ongoing topic of interest).


https://www.healthline.com/nutrition/3-types-of-omega-3

From the linked article:-

- not all omega-3s are created equal. Among 11 types, the 3 most important are ALA, EPA, and DHA.

- ALA is mostly found in plants, while EPA and DHA are mostly found in animal foods like fatty fish.

- Alpha-linolenic acid (ALA) is the most common omega-3 fatty acid in your diet.

- It’s mostly found in plant foods and needs to be converted into EPA or DHA before it can be utilized by your body for something other than energy.

- However, this conversion process is inefficient in humans. Only a small percentage of ALA is converted into EPA — and even less into DHA (3Trusted Source, 4Trusted Source, 5Trusted Source, 6Trusted Source).

- When ALA is not converted to EPA or DHA, it is simply stored or used as energy like other fats.

- Some observational studies link a diet rich in ALA to a reduced risk of death from heart disease, while others show an increased risk of prostate cancer (7Trusted Source).

- This increase in prostate cancer risk was not associated with the other main omega-3 types, EPA and DHA, which seem to protect against this cancer (8Trusted Source).
