Breakthrough blood test finally confirms Chronic Fatigue Syndrome
A team of scientists has developed a highly accurate blood test for Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. The test reads tiny DNA patterns that reveal the biological signature of the illness. For millions who’ve faced doubt and misdiagnosis, it’s a breakthrough that finally validates their experience — and may help diagnose long Covid too.

sometimes I wonder if it would be clearer to call "detached HEAD state" in Git something like "branchless state", because all it really means is that you don't have a current branch

git usage question: if you use `git pull` and `git push`, how do you usually use them?
possible answers include:
- just run `git push` and `git pull` with no arguments (other than --rebase or --ff-only etc)
- always specify remote/branch with `git push origin main` and `git pull origin main`
- […]
