  • It probably is for all of us. I can understand the first order effects of a 20% shortage for the world, and missing ⅓ of it’s fertillizer. The nth order effects I have no idea.

    I’ve been buying more canned food, multiple bags of rice and different beans. Where I live 99% of our grid comes from hydro power so I’m not worried about blackouts. I’m buying stuff I normally eat anyways (sprats and sardines. Tuna/salmon snacks. Canned soups) and stockpiling since prices keep going up…

    I keep hearing end of July, early August, but the very latest by September will be when the full shock hits in its entirety.


  • FYI you should switch to morphe instead of revanced. All of the maintainers left revanced after a falling out with OsumAtriX (or however you capitalize it) who was apparently toxic and impossible to work with.

    Morphe is updated daily and is lightyears ahead of revanced. Revanced has been copying code wholesale without attribution from morphe (including typos. No attribution is a GPL violation) so morphe DMCA’d revanced (which might get both projects killed… Not wise IMO but they did it…)

    Anyways, morphe is the bees knees and revanced is basically abandonware at this point due to lack of maintainers. Osum is so toxic people who want to help can’t stand him and just go to morphe.





  • A stroke is caused by one of two things:

    1. A blood clot blocking an artery feeding part of your brain

    2. A blood vessel rupturing (aneurysm rupture) that causes pressure to build inside or against your brain, squeezing blood vessels shut like a pressure bandage.

    Both of them cause a lack of oxygenated blood to the brain, and treating one type makes the other worse.

    As an aside: the city I used to live in had an ambulance with a CAT scanner in it that would be dispatched to suspected strokes. They could diagnose whether it was 1 or 2 and treat it right away.

    As to why arterial widening causes lacunar strokes, the article didn’t make it clear how or what small vessel disease is.

    Gas exchange also doesn’t happen in your arteries or veins, but in your capillaries. Your capillaries are small enough to just barely fit a single red blood cell (the RBC often need to bend to fit through) and that close contact of RBC and capillary wall allows fast and near complete gas exchange. The tightness of a capillary is a feature, not a bug. So it could be that you don’t have consistent contact with the same RBC for long, and mostly are in contact with blood plasma?
