I think you misunderstood. The terminally ill cancer patient is getting urine salts from cancer free individuals. Nowhere on Wikipedia did anybody claim a benefit from the drinking of one’s own urine. Leave that to the alchemists.

There’s not really any conspiracy except one. Every billionaire and corporation seeks to profit above all other ethical considerations. I don’t know who’s correct regarding Burzynski, and I hope I’m never in a place to decide. But I don’t think it’s difficult for billionaires to brigade and rewrite any narrative that may profit them.

Wikipedia is great, but I don’t think it should be viewed as trustworthy or definitive as a source. In the same way billionaire-owned news corporations cannot be trusted to tell the whole truth. Wikipedia is a great place to start, but we could all use more practice following to source material, and to some extent I think Wikipedia reduces critical thinking.

But the evidence says nothing of the construction. The only thing carbon remnants indicate is that the pyramids are at least that old. That they were used and inhabited that long ago. If you believe they were constructed at the time, I would ask what evidence is there? Scant radiocarbon dating is not a definitive story to believe. Lichen in the granite quarry? Remnants along the road? A bakery and some mortar dust does not explain or date the construction of mountains of granite with no mortar between joints.

The pyramids in Egypt were dated by radiocarbon dating, but those dates only indicated that the pyramid structure was inhabited or used at that time - it says nothing of the construction date. Yet the pyramids have dates with no cited references on Wikipedia. What is so wrong with saying that we don’t know with any certainty how, when, or why the structures were built?

I don’t believe anything because I haven’t had terminal cancer or the treatment. I’m guessing you haven’t either. It’s not about choosing a side. It’s an illustration of corporate interests controlling the narrative from scientific journals, to media, social media, and Wikipedia. It would be naive to believe they can’t or don’t edit Wikipedia.

One example:

From what I can gather this urine salt treatment has actually cured many terminally ill cancer patients. Medical journals refuse to acknowledge it because he didn’t give a placebo to patients (which would be unethical because they would die). Because the treatment is based on multiple compounds in the salt, it cannot be isolated, patented, and profited from. So it must be discredited and buried. Plus if it really works as well as it seems to, it would warrant further research funding into drinking urine, and possibly home remedies. Nip it in the bud.

It’s already happened, and is still happening. So is it dead? Or maybe it’s been a half-aware zombie all along.

They don’t need or want to kill Wikipedia. They just need to heavily edit it. Kind of a dream come true for those pushing a narrative.

Kids these days…

That’s more in Washington. This is talking about how volcanic soils hold a lot of groundwater. The part of Oregon they’re talking about is coniferous and in some places high desert, similar to the Modoc Plateau in California.

Maybe they can just introduce a poll tax or exam to weed out the poor. /s

But the first example does the same thing for an empty list. I guess the lesson is that if you’re measuring the speed of arbitrary stylistic syntax choices, maybe Python isn’t the best language for you.

Could also compare against:

if not len(mylist)

That way this version isn’t evaluating two functions. The bool evaluation of an integer is false when zero, otherwise true.

But then poor people would vote, which could be dangerous.

My bipolar diagnosis was due to a spiritual awakening, which has no other classification medically. Nobody is suggesting to go off your meds. I think it’s perfectly fine to suggest that bipolar symptoms severity is related to un-processed trauma. This would emphasize the therapy component of treatment as a route to being better, as opposed to drugs which focus on getting the individual back to work.

I did tell her. I haven’t noticed it since her hysterectomy, maybe it was the cysts.

Wait until you hear about inward singing! I can whistle inward too but not as well as outward (it takes a lot more air, and my range is reduced).

One time I had to wait in line behind this guy who had a very strong metallic odor, it was making me sick. I’ve smelled it a few times since and recently smelled it on my mother. Not sure if it’s a drug. Probably not fear. Very interesting though.

Maybe it’s not such a bad thing if we just eat less imported produce.

Nobody is judging you anymore. You’re free to live how you want to. Most people struggle to find a balance between working and life. So you’re not alone there.

I met this traveling nurse who spends fall, winter and spring working, and then spends summer traveling and hiking in the mountains. I met a teacher who does the same. There are many seasonal workers who put in a lot of work in a burst and then take time to themselves - firefighters, wine grape harvest, ski lift/resort.

Keep an open mind, and live simply. Keep few possessions which add a lot of value to your life. Think of what you want to do, then figure out how to get there. At least then if you are working a boring job, it is moving you toward your own goal.
