If you haven't heard yet, new potential cure for cancer has been discovered by a Japanese lab. https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/20...160655.htm

By using bacteria from "Ewingella americana" frog it causes what sounds like, biological chaos (for cancer).

The bacteria thrives inside low oxygen area such as a tumor, and multiplies 3000x within 24hrs destroying the cancer and getting the attention of the immune system to take out the leftovers.

The bacteria did not seem to be interested in any of healthy organs (in mice).

Within 72 hrs the there was mild inflammation, but otherwise non-life threatening.

The bacteria's half-life is 1.2hrs at which point it gets flushed out. It only survives for few hrs, meaning that it doesn't stay inside organism for long at all. Just long enough to show your immune system that it found something that you shouldn't have and will stay there until it's gone.

They haven't done human trials yet, but sounds better than shooting up chemicals to poison entire body just to have a 50/50 chance in 6 months.

Apparently this potential treatment completely eradicates 100% of cancer cells, what seems to be in record time.

Unfortunately curing a deadly disease in 3 days is not as profitable as 6 months to 5 years of treatment. So no pharma company will jump to get something like that rolled out.

Women have their own side of "media". We're split into genders, then by categories that include variations of interests. 

Some social media influences our perception, and that influences what we do.

Long story short, when a celebrity removes her breasts and fallopian tubes because of possibility of cancer due to a gene during a test, maybe just keeping tabs on health with checkups is a sane option. 

Statistically, such operations "doubled" - i.e in the same clinic by 400 annual operations (total around 800).

But as a celebrity, they probably know the basic psychology of the fans - some things will be repeated by them.

I don't understand willing self-mutilation for preemptive reasons. Never mind conscious decisions just for physical alteration.

Although Angelina's "diagnosis" was in 2013, it's still crazy to think how people are influenced to change themselves physically because of their idols.

Going from forum to forum, checking posts.

It's as if the internet has gone quiet. Everyone is fragmented and not quiet saying things normal way.

Short form media definitely hit a toll on people's capacity to express. Or I might be looking at posts from younger generations that cannot get to number 8 for the last few years. Just kidding.

For the moment I have a few things to make sure to be on the ball with. As I go along, will need to make few adjustments to the forum to make it look better - changing the background requires a few other changes across the board to make it work. 

But will just be here echoing on the internet just to put few words online.

With the recent fuel shortage you would think transportation, especially flights would decrease. 

Nope, 23rd of July was a record for a number of flights - 153,359 commercial flights in 24 hours.

Previous record was set in 2023, surprisingly also in July (13th).

"Why so many flights?" you would ask. It's peak holiday time with cheaper flights - summer in the Northern hemisphere, school holidays, enough leave days accumulated at work.

It's interesting to think how many people are flying for various reasons. That's about 20 million people changing location in a single day!

Such capacity of flights can move billion people in just 50 days.

Simple question isn't it, yet seems complex.

It depends on the context - your state of being. The question sits at the core when you go down to it.

• If you're struggling - then it's to overcome challenges.
  
• If you're comfortable financially - then it's family and experiences.
  
• If you're lost - it's to find yourself.
  

Enjoying my little corner of the internet.

The goal of social media is to connect everyone and make as big of an impact as possible. 

It's like going to a shopping mall on a Saturday, everyday.

How about going to a place far away from any malls, bright lights and noise?

I think with the use of the internet everyone finds their favourite platforms. Discord often functions like a realtime forum with their "channels". But coming across a good community that is less focused on gaming and more on everyday living is more rare due to the age gap and interests. Those on Discord often join because of live voice chat for gaming.

At some point we grow out of things and communities change. After going through your growing up stage, maybe there should be something more to explore in real life.

Want to rotate your scanned PDF page? That will be $12.99! - Rip off of the century.

It's one of the applications that has been used most worldwide and on daily basis, but not allowing basic functionality or not having any alternatives was everyone's pain. Being hit with "Pro version" ad, or taking forever to open a single page, or glitching out because AI is initialising in the background.

By far the best alternative I found is Stirling PDF - https://stirling.com/

   

They do have "Pro" and "Enterprise" versions, but you get 60+ PDF tools for Free. On top of that it loads faster than Adobe PDF due to reduced bloat.

If you want an app for your phone - ReadEra. Although made for books, it loads PDFs on your phone without ads and very quickly, just like Stirling PDF.

I must also warn, Stirling PDF is not great on phones yet. When opening PDFs in non-standard size it takes long to open, and zoom doesn't work correctly as of date.

So these are great alternatives that I've been using that have absolutely no compromises, instead giving you tools that you haven't used yet if you never wanted to subscribe to $12.99 to be able to rotate a page twice a year.

As an experiment, decided to backup my C:\ drive and install Zorin OS. One of many distros, but this one imitates Windows, while still with it's own character and features.

When you have the USB ready, there's also a basic checklist to unWindows yourself.

• Backup your C:\ drive
  
• Download Rufus to "burn" image to USB stick (At least 8GB): https://rufus.ie/en/#download
  
• Download Zorin OS: https://zorin.com/os/download/
  
• Write Zorin OS to the USB stick
  
• Check for your motherboard's "BIOS Boot selector key" that will allow you to select the USB to boot from
  
• You may need to re-select your "boot storage device" after Zorin OS is installed, just keep that in mind if you get "No bootable device found" after your install it.
  

1. In Windows power settings, make sure to uncheck "Turn on fast startup" - Windows locks drive C:\ when shutting down and may prevent new OS installation
   
2. If on older hardware, sometimes Windows was working with IDE storage configuration, make sure to set BIOS storage to AHCI just so that you're running storage at it's full potential
   
3. Reset overclocking to stock clock speed - Linux is less stable with overclocking and may freeze due to voltage spikes or bad voltage config
   

• Zorin OS has a "Software" app that has extensive list of apps that can be installed
  
• LibreOffice is preinstalled, but may look into installing OpenOffice
  
• Download the IDEs, Thunderbird, Steam to get going
  

Ferran Torres (Spain) scores to make it 1 - 0 at 106th minute. Nico Williams assisted.

As hard as Argentina began to push in extra time, the team could not play well together to put a goal through.

Spain was a team that went to the world cup to win and you could see it, they persuaded Argentina to give way. With most of the possession, and 20 shots taken at the goal posts.

The biggest show by Argentina, was Fernandez (Argentina) sending Cubarsi (#22 - Spain) into a front flip:

Some may forget that specialized finishes are a thing.

You can get wallpapers that have texture and feel to them, as well as specialized plaster wall finishes that can have a pattern or certain look to them.

e.g. wallpaper with decorative golden strips, or marble looking walls.

Also the type of furniture makes a difference. Glass top tables are nice. At times size needs to be considered to be merciful on shins of your guests.

Interior is your living environment that can set the mood for your life. If it's clean, comfortable and looks good, it can relax and give you needed peace of mind that you're in the right place.

Small things that you don't fix can be a nuisance that can make you worry just enough to throw off your comfort.

If you're not into interior, consider making yourself comfortable just a bit - it makes a huge difference to feeling accomplishment.
