Thank you for writing that out, your explanation was very helpful.
This is an updated recommendation for how to treat headaches in the emergency department, and one of the treatments it's replacing is opioids.
Here is more from the article:
The update reviewed 26 studies from the past nine years that met the criteria involving migraines and visits to emergency departments to bring the treatment recommendations up to date.
“This update marks a major change in emergency department migraine care and implementing these treatments can improve patient outcomes and reduce reliance on opioids,” said study co-lead Dr. Jennifer Robblee, a neurologist and migraine and headache disorders specialist at Barrow Neurological Institute
Another user added a first person perspective, which explains it a lot better than I could.
Since doctors/staff communicate to each other in a shorthand, and it would be very difficult to make all that internal communication written in an accessible way. We would likely need a separate team of people transcribing and adding context to all the notes.
What might be a good first step is freeing up healthcare capacity to respond to patient's inquiries. After that, if we can set up some way of communicating the available resources to the person who FOI's the medical records, they can get in touch if they have questions.
Linus videos have clickbait titles like that, and it's in reference to some news articles calling GOS an OS for criminals
Title and thumbnail aside, the video was a positive review of GOS and was made with help from a GOS team member. I probably should have added the extra context before it got downvoted away 😄
Our university Astronomy club started a program like that, it's great! Community members donated their old scopes and now people can borrow them.
It would be a cool way for the artist to sell merch if they wanted to
Yes :)
The new study, led by pharmaceutical microbiology researcher Dirk Hoffmeister, from Friedrich Schiller University Jena, discovered that mushrooms can make psilocybin in two different ways, using different types of enzymes. This also helped the researchers discover a new way to make psilocybin in a lab.
Based on the work led by Hoffmeister, enzymes from two types of unrelated mushrooms under study appear to have evolved independently from each other and take different routes to create the exact same compound.
This is a process known as convergent evolution, which means that unrelated living organisms evolve two distinct ways to produce the same trait. One example is that of caffeine, where different plants including coffee, tea, cacao, and guaraná have independently evolved the ability to produce the stimulant.
Why this is interesting:
This is the first time that convergent evolution has been observed in two organisms that belong to the fungal kingdom. Interestingly, the two mushrooms in question have very different lifestyles. Inocybe corydalina, also known as the greenflush fibrecap and the object of Hoffmeister’s study, grows in association with the roots of different kinds of trees. Psilocybe mushrooms, on the other hand, traditionally known as magic mushrooms, live on nutrients that they acquire by decomposing dead organic matter, such as decaying wood, grass, roots, or dung.
The observation that mushrooms that inhabit two different niches make the same psychedelic compound raises questions regarding the ecological role of this molecule. A possible explanation as to why both mushrooms produce psilocybin could be that it is intended to deter predators, such as insects, that may be tempted to eat their fruiting bodies. This would be similar to the role of caffeine, which is also known to act as a natural pesticide, deterring insects and other pests from feeding on certain plants.

Be on the lookout for any colourful toonies in your change — you could add Canada’s newest circulation coin to your collection.
The Royal Canadian Mint unveiled its latest $2 commemorative circulation coin honouring the work of Indigenous artist Daphne Odjig on Thursday.
The toonie is limited to a mintage of three million coins, of which two million are coloured. It begins circulating on Thursday, Sept. 4, so keep an eye out for it in your change.

I missed the link somehow, I've edited the post now. It's open source (GPLv3).
They started as a startup, then shut down and open-sourced the project, and now it looks like they're pivoting to something else
How busy was it when you went?
It's a good idea to have extra staff available. Advanced polls already set records for the number of voters, and the day is just getting started.

Elections Canada has announced preliminary estimates that show nearly two million electors voted Friday, the first day of advance polls.
François Enguehard, a regional media advisor in the Atlantic region for Elections Canada, said the turnout is up 36 per cent from the first day of advance polling in the last election in 2021.




I was already on Windows 11 when I tried it, but I do see some mods labelled for Windows 10 and earlier versions. That makes me think it also supports Windows 10
