You forgot to include the last segment of this paragraph!

Still, Binello calls the survival rate of trepanations in Peru “astonishing.” “It’s a credit to what these ancient cultures were doing,” she says.

Of course you can choose to believe what you want.

The point I was trying to make is that there is no scientific consensus on the topic about how global the decline was, when it began and why it happened - as well as if it is related to the formation of complex societies, farming, language, dietary changes, temperature, or body size.

Yes, DeSilva published the 2021 paper you linked. In 2022 he got criticism from Villmoare and Grabowski (see: Did the transition to complex societies in the Holocene drive a reduction in brain size? A reassessment of the DeSilva et al. (2021) hypothesis). Then in 2023 DeSilva revised his argument in (link above, in the description), extending the date back, still not giving anwers about the shrinkage observed since 100.000 years ago.

It’s coincidental with the human adoption of farming.

So far it looks like no hypothesis holds water. For example this one about farming is talking about a timeframe of 10.000 years. The shrinkage started 100.000. So there is a 90.000 years gap, that is left unexplained

Thank you.

Since you’re reading about this topic, here are some free MIT courses on nuclear science.

Wenders said the film would be withdrawn from “all current forms of distribution and exhibition”, meaning “streaming services, television broadcasters and distribution partners will be instructed to cease public access to the film”.

Wenders said he would seek a “broad dialogue” with film institutions and groups, and only after reaching “a mutually agreed solution, which will include Nastassja Kinski, will we make the film available again”.

yeah a ton of movies star older men

This is also true. In their site they specificaly say on this topic:

The study, authored by academics at the University of West London School of Film, Media and Design, found that female characters aged 65 years and over were more than three times less likely than men of the same age to be featured in British films over the last decade. Women characters over 50 were also found to speak 14% less than older men in the sample of films studied by researchers.

You are totally right, she appears 4th in both films.

In the same time for Wicked (2024 film) Ariana Grande appears 2nd in imdb and is nominated for Best Supporting Actress, not leading role [wiki list].

For Wicked: for good, it looks like there were no nominations?

And same here, I don’t have a dog in this fight, for sure. I just really like looking up stuff.

I haven’t watched any of the Wicked. According to imdb Michelle Yeoh is not staring neither in 1 nor in 2. So it looks like the wicked movies don’t meet the criteria to make it to the list anyways.

I don’t think anyone implied that filmakers owe anyone a career.

Also, I don’t think anyone believes that filmakers do what they want in a vacuum.

And you watching these actors you mention, does not change any of the findings presented in this article.

The good life for the both of you!!

Totally understandable, and for this reason I just added some text in this post’s description.

Really? Personally, I found the title terrible, in the sense that it was saying absolutely nothing - like literally. I did find the thumbnail clickbait-y tho.

Btw how did you find the content?

Great of you to notice this, and that you went to the vet - you already know you saved Wirt’s life.

My understanding is that dry food is not really ideal for cats. In the wild, these small carnivores, eat small prey and get the liquids they need from their food. This is why where I live, people say that cats don’t drink water. The simple urinary dry food, makes them drink more, so by peeing more the crystals don’t get formed. The medicinal food for struvite, on top of that it has also has something that dilutes the crystals.

The water fountain you got sounds like a great idea. Since you have more than one cats and if you don’t live in a tiny studio apartment, please conciser having - if you have for example 2 cats:

• 2 sources for drinking water in different places. One can easily be a bowl with fresh water in the sense to change it daily.
• 2 litter boxes, with plenty of sand in them, cleaned on daily basis
• the litter box and water not be close to each other

Currently I have only one cat and he had the same issue twice during the summertime. Both times he had to do a procedure with full anesthesia. Since he can go out almost whenever he wants and during summer whenever he wants, and because we live in a neighborhood that we feed the strays, during summer he was also eating low quality dry food. This is -most probably- why he had the second, perhaps even the first incidents. Something that worked in our case was the following: during winter he eats the simple urinary and during summer the medicinal for struvite. Several years have passed since the last incident, but it’s true that during summer I am super alert.

Of course double-check what I say with your vet, and if you are told something different, please let me know!
