it took at least 70 years until the connection between HPV and cancers was discovered

it is now kinda common knowledge

yet, people choose to believe that it can't be true of other "harmless" viruses

though again, evidence has been growing, especially on EBV

so yes: good luck with all this denial
the Nobel Prize committee, 2008: "Harald zur Hausen went against current dogma and postulated that oncogenic human papilloma virus (HPV) caused cervical cancer, the second most common cancer among women. He realized that HPV-DNA could exist in a non-productive state in the tumours, and should be detectable by specific searches for viral DNA. He found HPV to be a heterogeneous family of viruses. Only some HPV types cause cancer. His discovery has led to characterization of the natural history of HPV infection, an understanding of mechanisms of HPV-induced carcinogenesis and the development of prophylactic vaccines against HPV acquisition."

these are the Norwegian rules, for instance, in case you think I'm kidding

SAFE
the rules for granting temporary protection for Ukrainian residence as of today (20.11.2025), which claim many Ukrainian regions, including Ternopil, where the rocket killed at least 26 persons a day before, to be SAFE

how ironical that @karpathy.bsky.social is also somehow not active here with all these vibes

and sorry, no reasonable author will "write this for LLMs"

you simply lose the remnants of humanity in yourselves in this cult

I already had almost no hope to find literature on toponyms with Lilla/Stora and their possible relation to the historical change of status of some farms/villages, and here I am, just came across this while reading a student essay, YEAH

mani jau labu laiku šokē Kažokas kundzes MI optimisms, tas viss paralēli tam, kas pašlaik notiek pasaulē

sorry not sorry, mani viss tas viltus ziņu, bilžu, video apjoms šausmina, un nekā pozitīva tur nav

tāpat nevajag pat būt pārāk "kreisam", lai zinātu, ka aiz šiem modeļiem ir milzīga peļņa
Mani nesatrauc arī tas, ja cilvēcei nebūs mūsdienām raksturīgo profesiju, jo atcerēsimies, ka arī iepriekšējos gadsimtos atsevišķiem sabiedrības slāņiem nevajadzēja darbu. Viņi bija labi nodrošināti arī tāpat. Esmu diezgan droša, ka šāda veida pasaules modeli, tai skaitā ar MI piedāvātajām idejām, būtu iespējams diezgan ātri izveidot, ja tiešām rastos šāda nepieciešamība. Jo šī nepieciešamība, visticamāk, pirmā iestātos Amerikā un citās attīstītajās valstīs, kur uzņēmumi un valsts pārvalde šīs efektivizācijas iespējas izmantotu pirmie. Es esmu pilnīgi droša, ka cilvēks ir gana radoša būtne, lai atrastu sev nodarbošanos un jēgu arī apstākļos, kad viņš nav pati gudrākā būtne uz planētas. Ļoti nepieciešams izveidot tādas sociālās sistēmas, lai tad visiem cilvēkiem būtu iespējas dzīvot cilvēka cienīgu dzīvi šādos apstākļos.

fun story: before one of my walks to the manor Enebyberg in Danderyd, I decided to spend some time with old maps and put some points of possible foundations on my Google Maps

www.enebyberg.com/wordpress/?p...

when I came there, I found some nice information plates exactly at these points

Herbert Henkel from Naturskyddsföreningen i Sollentuna is the author of several amazing books

these two are quite exemplary in their scrupulous descriptions of boundary stones in two forests north of Stockholm, just amazing

короче, заинтриговала ты меня

но если это правда не просто настоящее время, а скорее причастия, то тогда это более ожидаемо, разумеется

this week, I managed to visit two different places with pasqueflowers (perfect timing for this name), but the place (pasture) I visited today is simply amazing in how many flowers there are
lilac pasqueflowers in one of the northern suburbs of Stockholm, Upplands-Väsby lilac pasqueflowers in one of the northern suburbs of Stockholm, Upplands-Väsby lilac pasqueflowers in one of the northern suburbs of Stockholm, Upplands-Väsby, an overview of the pasture lilac pasqueflowers in one of the northern suburbs of Stockholm, Upplands-Väsby

дейли маленькие, но где-то через неделю набирает несколько миксов рекомендаций

они тоже не очень большие, но по качеству приятно напоминает рекомендации в духе last.fm

последний момент ну такое, согласна, но можно отключить в настройках, кажется!

тут отлично видно, что болдерайская гряда – это всё ещё огромная дюнная территория (без деревьев)

šajā kartē labi redzams, ka Bolderājas grēda vēl ir smilšu kāpas (bez kokiem)

gandrīz nokavēju, burtiski pēdējā tirdziņa stundā vakar vakarā paspēju (iedzēru kādu siltu un saldu bezalko dzērienu + apēdu siltus ceptus kartupeļus no ukraiņu telts)
