Those glasses are cool shit. I took the color blindness test on the enchroma site just now and came back with normal vision but some of them were pretty tough. https://enchroma.com

A good friend of mine is a child psychologist who mostly works with kids in state custody and other "troubled" youth. Among his many heartbreaking stories are the ones about kids who struggled terribly with reading and were bullied by peers and dismissed as dipshits by adults because of it. Then they get into the system, someone finally gives them a basic eye exam and it turns out the reason they couldn't read is because their vision is so terrible they couldn't physically read the words.

My results are "strong protan" aka classic red-green colorblindness.
There has been a little research into the belief that protans can decipher camouflage better than those with normal vision. Growing up hunting with my dad and cousin, I was always the first to spot animals on a distant hillside.

My daughter has eye dysfunction.
Public school got so bad 6 years ago, we pulled her out of public school. It was shitty time. She's bright, but eye articulation gives her headaches.
3 years ago, her eyes and ocular processing started coordinating better. So she could actually read a little.
She wanted to try again so she's rejoined school after being called a retard, stupid and suffering rejection from everyone outside the family.
So she's working hard, every night to catch up, still gets headaches and visual dysfunction after stress.
She just got a 100 on her history test, first one in 6 years.Merde De Glace On the Freak When Ski

Science discovers we have an ‘inner salamander’ and can regrow cartilage in our joints
Scientists have discovered that humans have an innate or “salamander-like” ability to regenerate cartilage, which could lead to treatments for diseases such as osteoarthritis — and possibly provide a starting point for human limb regeneration.

This one could go in the running thread too:
If gorillas and chimpanzees were born to clamber and climb, humans were born to walk and run.
The human hearts, on the other hand, were more elongated and supple, with thinner chamber walls that could twist and pump greater volumes of blood at lower pressures than in the primate hearts, a necessity during sustained aerobic activities, like walking or jogging.
Perhaps most intriguing, though, were the differences within the various groups of people. The collegiate runners and subsistence farmers, whatever their age, harbored hearts that were endurance-ready, with the thinnest, springiest chamber walls and the lowest blood pressures among the human groups.

If you sleep well (you know, that eight hours / night shit), you're probably okie-dokie.
As for me, I likely don't have much time.

Click da link, REST is a protein.

Yup.
But I did look at the article again and found that I mis-read it originally- REST regulates neuronal activity. I initially read it as REST is regulated by neuronal firing, So my comment regarding sleep may not be relevant.Daniel Ortega eats here.
