    NYC Mice Evolving

    I think mice and rats are cute and real intelligent as well. Cockroaches are just nasty. I’ll admit, alligators can be cute when being fed raw meat.

    Intelligence The Neurodivergent Minds That Shaped Science: Famous Scientists, Inventors, Philosophers and Artists with ASD, ADHD, and OCD

    as someone who has real diagnosed ADHD i appreciate this! I have pretty much every symptom in the adhd circle. Some Neurotypicals tend to think it must be laziness or a personality thing but it’s an actual physical basis coming down to an underdeveloped prefrontal cortex and executive issues, as...

    AADR v66.0 (Allen Ancient DNA Resource)

    Totally get it. I had real life get in the way and took a break for some time. Hell, just last month I had a retinal blood clot in my left eye. It’s getting treated but ever since then I started changing my lifestyle to improve my health. So my mind kinda drifted a bit again from this.

    Question Few questions about my DNA

    That k16 seems off. Tbh I don’t trust these calculators. They all give crazy results, which is why I never had my dna tested. It would be even crazier for me since I’m mixed! Any calculator would freak out trying to figure out a south euro, Levantine and NW euro mutt like me. Anyway I gotta...

    Question Few questions about my DNA

    No problem! I’m not one to question someone who was born and raised in north Italy especially as someone of only partial Italian descent born in the US who never even been there. I keep learning new things about this topic and they’re pretty damn fascinating

    Question Few questions about my DNA

    Your dad prob had some NA leftover from ancient times, prob not common but it must’ve stuck around for your dad’s side. I can’t think of any other explanation, then again I’m far as hell from an expert, maybe someone who knows about north Italy can chime in

    What games are you playing now???

    They already injected a needle in that eye couple weeks ago to prevent bleeding, and I have laser treatment coming up in the next 2 weeks to blast out the dead retinal tissue. It sounds scary but it ain’t bad, just gotta watch my eye a bit. Just did a 30 minute jog, all part of health maintenance

    Wow that’s surprising! They really go that south eh? I figured it would be more north

    What games are you playing now???

    Thanks!! Even with the lack of underlying health issues, I decided to be much more cautious about my health even in spite of reality. I’ve been exercising every night, and my fitness skyrocketed….mostly cardio as I’m naturally strong lol. I’ve never had something like this before, but I’m 41 so...

    What games are you playing now???

    Yep I had an “eye stroke” which is an occlusion in the arteries supplying the retina. Central vision still works good but peripheral is noticeably weaker which sadly affects my gaming. We ruled out underlying conditions but still, hopefully this was a freak incident and won’t happen again lol...

    What games are you playing now???

    Was playing ninja gaiden 4 on n off due to my new eye issue, plus I wanted to get thru shinobi art of vengeance on hardcore mode which I did and beat all bosses including dlc. Ninja gaiden 4 is a cakewalk compared to shinobi even on hardmode but still lots of fun! Got the crazy giant ninja stars...

    what are your East Med and West Med component scores from Eurogenes K13 ?

    When I said ancient Anatolian exists in Greece and Italy I meant BA not Neolithic (the latter is in every euro and middle eastern group).
