  • Blocking sEH increased epoxy-oxylipin levels, helped pain resolve more quickly, and sharply reduced the number of intermediate monocytes found in both the blood and tissue. These immune cells have been linked to persistent inflammation and the progression of inflammatory disease.

    redness/swelling aren’t the only markers of inflammation in this context, as the cells that kick off the response do more harm than good when they wear out their welcome.

    monocytes are white blood cells that develop in bone marrow. i’m curious/interested in whether the same treatment affects mast cells that develop in connective tissue

    i agree with you and stopped a few years ago for similar wariness

    i also had a half-baked thought: there have been videos showing players using spoofed gps to play for years. how difficult would it be to spoof camera and gyros (earns you bonuses in-game to scan points of interest) in addition to gps, as a “catch your mons, give the ai bogus intel” sort of affair?

    i think it will get better, but probably not before lobbyists make it worse first. i guess my question about it is: will i still be able to go to lemmy/mastodon/peertube along the way, and what would it take from the instance owner’s part to keep governments from forcing users to relinquish IDs?

    there’s plenty of art that predates jung or hellmut, by one or more centuries, depicting alchemy as a spiritual process (opus magnum). much of its depiction is influenced by abrahamic religions (but not exclusively). i think its safe to assume colonialism played the same problematic role in both of our understandings around its origin. nonetheless, the framework seems to have existed long before the victorian era by my understanding, though i’d agree there are old and new interpretations alike that uphold purity culture/white supremacy.

    i treat the metaphorical alchemy much like 12-tet music as we know it: the church propagated it, but influences internal and external to the church can still grow into something else (e.g. music that would protest/defy/have nothing to do with the church). alchemy as an understanding of death/rebirth cycles through heat/pressure/blood/sweat/tears is sensible to anyone observing the natural world (e.g. pagans and ancient greeks saw this), and (for example) the notion of “burning away impurities” in alchemy doesn’t have to be intertwined with white supremacy purification but instead transforming perpetually. finding old information can be difficult/frustrating when so much of it gets sucked into a new-age bs vortex.

    with all of that said, i’m really interested in what you said regarding eastern texts that circumvent aforementioned problematic translation/appropriation about internal and chemical alchemy alike, and medieval and renaissance magic, and would love to learn more if you have any links/book titles to share!
