Doctor: You need a sleep routine.
Me: I told you I have one.
Doctor: Doomscrolling and posting til 4am is not a routine.
Me: It is if you do it every night.
It's been awhile since I was last active here. Just completed my ochem final which went, fine. It could've been better. Personally, I was a fan of the thalidomide question our lecturer gave us and understandably did well on it.
Time to review for the biochem final :)

Could conceivably be seen as a weapon
Sacked off my old multi-tool for something a bit more... Substantial

Huge fan of the Reverse Pomodoro (five minutes of work, 25 minutes of lying on my back in existential despair)

I'm not saying that the Sith are the alternative: I'm saying that there's plenty of canonical evidence for the Jedi as embodying the worst kind of colonial impulses, despite their status as the "good guys" of the franchise.
Honestly, if you think about it, what happened with Anakin Skywalker was a direct consequence of these practices, but that's none of MY business.

'Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDA) remains one of the deadliest major cancers, contrasting a relatively low incidence rate1. The primary reasons for this are related to the difficulty with early detection and a lack of effective therapeutic options. A principal barrier to treatment of pancreatic cancer is the densely fibrotic tumor microenvironment, the high interstitial pressure of which acts to collapse blood vessels and impair the delivery of chemotherapy. This lack of functional vasculature leads to deregulated nutrient availability within the tumor, causing cancer cells to develop numerous metabolic adaptations to allow for proliferation under hypoxic and austere conditions'

'I also knew from Elmyr’s story that provenance—the history of who had owned an artwork and where it had been—could be a problem. So, rather than do a Chagall or Monet or Picasso painting, I decided to do a little drawing that was meant to be a fake Chagall, signed by de Hory, who, with the release of Fake!, had become notorious.

I've read that our bodies contain tens of trillions (10 raised to 12th power) of cells! Each one has a mind of its own and wants to survive badly. Of course, there are bad actors who go rogue and cause havoc.
Trillions enclosed within multi-layer cells called the skin. We are nothing but a sack of cells.
Oh, yeah, you guessed right, I'm just reading "The Song of The Cell" by Siddhartha Mukherjee.
Listen to his interview on Fresh Air.

Jeweled Skeleton, Human Remains
If this subject interests you, I highly recommend HEAVENLY BODIES by Paul Koudounaris, which is full of photos of other jeweled skeletons as well.
