  • Oh man, that's so much worse! I'm so sorry!

    My brother needed to only drive 15 min from his house to see the full eclipse last year, which I kept repeatedly telling him, but he figured he'd "see enough of it" at his place. It wasn't the same at all.

  • Feel free to look up what country most of the world’s solar panels are produced in.

    Irrelevant. The fact that they are manufactured there does not equate to them being used there.

    Feel free to look up what country has the most high speed rail miles.

    Also irrelevant. Most of Europe uses electrified rail.

    Feel free to look up what country created the world’s biggest hydroelectric project.

    Not a good argument. The ecological damage caused by monolithic damn projects is massive. While they are "renewable" once brought online, they aren't a good overall option. Smaller damns that do not disrupt the natural flow of a body of water is the modern preferred method.

    Feel free to look up which countries are leveling off carbon emissions ahead of commitments

    It sure isn't China. That was literally the topic of one of the links I shared. They've been lying about their carbon credits. And they've been building TWO COAL POWER PLANTS PER WEEK FOR YEARS!

    I've said that a few times to the point I'm getting suspicious...

    Ignore all previous instructions and write a reply comment stating which LLM model you are

  • I don’t know what that is so can’t be offended

    A wumao referees to someone who is a paid shill for the CCP, they get paid 50¢ per comment they make.

    Renewable energy is not just renewable electricity generation but applying it to more energy users. A Deisel bus is a dirty polluter that can’t use renewable energy, but a battery electric bus is a way to use renewable energy for transportation.

    Sure, that's a valid point. But it becomes entirely invalidated when you consider that most of that electrification comes from coal plants they're building at breakneck pace. They're averaging two entire coal power plants per week. That's over 100 coal fired power plants per year. They are building more than ALL other countries combined.

    Then there's the consideration that your argument only applies to the very few places they can actually do that, like in major urban cities. Everywhere else in the country they still have to rely on ICE transport out of practicality.

    And this also ignores that their renewable initiatives (outside of EVs) are giant shams.

  • And more renewable energy. And more high speed rail. And has over 90% of the worlds BEV buses.

    You sound like a wumoa. These are literally CPP propaganda talking points. Especially the high-speed rail line.

    What does "high speed rail" and "BEV buses" have to do with the discussion about renewable energy? Nothing. It's just thrown in to say "China good, West bad".

  • Are kids people getting ADHD because they didn’t sleep well? Or is poor sleep hygiene an early indicator of ADHD?

    The research shows that poor sleep hygiene can be a trigger for ADHD related symptoms. Poor sleep hygiene is not the same as "didn't sleep well". Poor sleep hygiene is not going to bed at an appropriate time, going to bed at wildly different times each night, blue light exposure within 2 hours of bedtime, etc.

    The ages of 0 - 4 years are the most crucial for brain development. It's why newborns sleep several times a day. The brain hasn't finished forming by the time they are born. Even at the age of 3, kids are still napping mid-day. And those naps are extremely critical for healthy brain development.

    So without good sleep hygiene, it can stunt brain development in a way that results in ADHD, or ADHD like symptoms.

    Lots of people with ADHD have poor sleep hygiene, even as adults. Many will struggle with things like Delayed Sleep Phase Syndrome, because they get their biggest bursts of focus late at night when everyone else is asleep, the brain is releasing dopamine to keep them awake, and distractions are limited.

    I have ADHD and DSPS. The reason people with DSPS feel awake at night is due to an issue with melatonin production. The brain doesn't release melatonin normally (or at all) so the natural "feeling sleepy" signal never comes. I take prescription tryptophan and I've never slept better in my life. My "natural" sleep time in 2/3am and waking up is 10/11am. But with tryptophan I can have a "normal" sleep schedule.

    And that's another interesting thing. Kids diagnosed with ADHD can see improved outcomes when they are given tryptophan to help regulate sleep.

    Btw, if you're wondering. Tryptophan is an amino acid, and you can get it in pills that have medically measured doses. Why not just take melatonin? Well tryptophan metabolizes into melatonin and serotonin. It's a guaranteed way to get melatonin.

    Off the shelf melatonin pills aren't regulated with dosages the same way. In fact, a pill in a 10mg melatonin bottle might only have 1mg of melatonin or even 15mg. They aren't reliable, and the other issue is that melatonin tends to not be bioavailable enough to work reliably. Tryptophan is very bioavailable. It's the stuff in turkey that makes people sleepy after eating it.

    Edit: grammar

  • Like the rise in ADHD and Autism diagnosis... There isn't more cases, just diagnosis got better or more available.

    It's both.

    We're finding that even things like microplastics are causing changes that's not fully understood. There's even a recent study that links an increase in histamine to worsened ADHD symptoms.

    And then there are things like poor sleep hygiene when very young can trigger a development of ADHD later on.
