If you've like me, you've found the "how much pain are you in on a scale of 0-10" question annoying to answer because everyone's 0-10 varies so much. Well, I wanted to share the new DVPRS pain scale, which defines 0-10 by how much it's impairing your life.

@Mustbetuesday that's really cool! I studied a bunch of languages in college (in one of my linguistics courses we studied a new language every week) and I've always been interested in stuff like this so I'm excited to give it a try!

@Mustbetuesday oh that sounds really interesting!
A friend recommended me a game with a similar translation theme called Heaven's Vault, where you're an archaeologist and the game's focus is you deciphering an ancient language. I haven't played it yet either but if you're still after the deciphering a new language part maybe you could try that one next!

@fresnel I still want to hear the well-tuned clavier in weirdo tuning just to hear it but idk. tuning instruments is overrated. a little dissonance do you good. gamelan music is wonderful and so is noise.

“Inverse vaccine” shows potential to treat multiple sclerosis and other autoimmune diseases

tl;dr A typical vaccine teaches the human immune system to recognize a virus or bacteria as an enemy that should be attacked. The new “inverse vaccine” does just the opposite: it removes the immune system’s memory of one molecule.

Only in lab settings at the moment but still.

If you have #LongCovid or #MEcfs and are considering filing a long-term disability claim, this white paper by my old lawyer, Barbara Comerford, is a must-read.

Barbara has been helping people win lawsuits against insurers for three decades now.

She took my case against Prudential to federal court & kicked their asses so hard the judge wrote an absolutely scathing ruling against Prudential that set some precedents.

You know people tend to act like it's a sign of low effort to make a mario clone but as someone who has been working on exactly that for a few years now I can assure you that nailing that mario game feel has been one of the biggest challenges of my career

I just learned that my husband has possibly the most cursed WFH technique I've ever heard of:

1. He sets an alarm to go off every 30 minutes.

2. When the alarm goes off he checks his work email, makes calls, fills out forms etc

3. When he has finished whatever task he is doing he IMMEDIATELY falls asleep

4. The next time the alarm goes off he wakes up and repeats this process

It's like pomodoro technique for snorlax
