Wow! From that pub: Olfactory ensheathing cells (OECs), which are the glia of the olfactory nerve, stand apart from other candidate cell types due to their innate natural abilities to manage nerve injury and promote repair and regeneration. This is evidenced by their physiological role in the daily repair and maintenance of the olfactory nerve.

“What’s Going On Right Now That Most People Have No Idea About?” (35 Answers) The war on the poor! They have nowhere to go, can’t find work, can’t find food, and get kicked out of public places because they don’t have “business” being there. The shelters are over crowded, under funded, and picky about who they let in. Inflation has made it impossible to keep food in the house, and pay for the bills/rent. And the reasons they can’t find work are that they don’t have a stable place to put on their applications, can’t pass an interview( when they get one )because of the condition of their looks, and can’t get a call back because they don’t have a phone (because they chose to eat instead of paying a phone bill). It’s really bad. And it’s all brushed under the carpet because a Cheeto felon is running for president.

They should heavily tax anyone with multiple homes, incrementally increasing it the more homes you own.

FYI, this is another Putin-related war. The RSF forces (basically, mercenaries formerly employed by the government) have been bankrolled since the early 2010s until last summer by Russia, with training by the infamous Wagner Group. Their scope was to seize power, in the meantime, they spent their happy time doing war crimes in the Darfur region. Last July, Putin -after previously offing Wagner's leader Prigozhin- negotiated a new agreement with the almost-defeated SAF (the closest thing to a state military remaining), providing military support in exchange for access to infrastructures -ports to resupply the Russian supported militias in central Africa- and a stop of sales of Iranian drones to Ukraine.

I thought US was all for free market? :D As for Turkey vs Kurds, well. That's an issue. My old country's approach for that particular problem is as complex as many conflicts in history. And just like many conflicts in history, the government is doing a p**s poor job of handling it. Especially Erdogan government is trying to be a recognized power in the area and ruining long established friendships along the way. A true travesty or previous policies. Did you know for instance until Erdogan's government Turkish army never purchased any offensive only type weapon systems?

a pristine piece of desert in Nevada. Right next to that hole is a 10 acre spot where a tiny desert plant called Tiehms Buckwheat is eaking out a living.
There are 50% less Tiehms Buckwheat plants now than there were a decade ago because half the population disappeared virtually overnight.
The Bureau of Land Management, which will ultimately permit the mining company, said the plants likely disappeared because of rodents (although the rodents chose an odd time to decimate a plant they've lived next to for hundreds of years).
This little plant grows nowhere else on Earth. It has evolved to thrive in that soil - heavily laced with lithium.
And because lithium extraction is more important, that little plant will likely become extinct.

A moment to late to change, that still eats at me. Very brief backstory. The father was having an affair, wanted a divorce, moving out. The mother wearing a nightie, wanders out into a very bad winter's night. They found her body huddled in a corner the next day. He stayed for the kids. Fast forward the kids are adults and moving out, the father has asked his mistress to marry him. The youngest venomously opposed it, telling his father he was dead to him if he married her. The father jumped off a multistorey carpark. Ironically I worked with both mistress for about three years and the son for about two years, work friends with both. About 18 months later. I'm waiting for my bus home when I get tapped on the shoulder, it's the son. He'd been in a mental facility for over a year and do I want to go for a pint. I had overtaxed my liver forcing me to stop drinking because of my own declining mental health; didn't feel fair to share that, so went home. He jumped off the viaduct that night.

In terms of pop culture, we're getting more fragmented than ever. With algorithms dictating more and more of our personal feed each day, it gets harder and harder to have a TV series, movie or a song that defines a time period. In previous times, it's much easier to do. But in today's world, it gets harder to have a stronger media monoculture.

And why should it be? This media monoculture had only existed for about 50 years across entire human history

Genocide violence? I'm confused. If you mean violence, say violence. Genocide is with the intent to destroy a population.

There are possibly more slaves today than there ever has been. Funnily enough, people are always talking about what happened two hundred years ago and do nothing about what is happening today.

I looked it up. Phytothera was the cause of the Irish potato famine long ago, and is still around as a major pathogen of potatoes, tomatoes and soy beans.

So is Jakarta, Indonesia. One of the reason why Indonesia moved its capital to Nusantara is because of this fact.

There's a global sand shortage. Sounds strange, but sand is in high demand for making concrete, and it’s becoming a real problem since we can’t just use desert sand. Makes you wonder what other basic materials we might run low on, especially with how fast cities are expanding.

Folks think the UAP phenomenon is still a joke even after US military Chiefs of Staff have gone on public record acknowledging that we have documented evidence of objects in our local airspace, over military bases/points of interest, and war zones that behave in ways that go against our current understanding of physics.

This isn’t a call for or reason to panic but I wish more people acknowledged it for the truth that it is. We don’t know wtf they are with any kind of certainty. However it should have people looking up or asking more questions of our government seeing as they have no way to explain what they are or how they operate but have stated they are a security threat.

We call that thing where we try to understand and explain stuff "science". Just because we cannot explain something does not make it "extraterrestrial".

So misunderstood, so misleading. People think that US government is in peace talks with aliens or something. US government did no such thing. Just think about it, you'll have enough intelligence, technology and resources to cross light years of distances to travel to a different planet and you'll only be seen by a handful of people? And you will just crash and die? Without being seen by anyone but a handful conspiracy theorists and secret government people :)
