Adding on to the other comment, it’s one of the theories for why allergies exist

Each of our antibodies seem to have a specific job, and that allows them to call for the correct response for the type of threat they are dealing with (ex. Fighting one large thing vs many small things, where in the body is it happening, what kind of cells are involved, etc)

Of those, IgE is the one that’s tied to allergies. Turns out it’s also involved in the response against parasitic worms. Parisitic worm infections aren’t as common in many parts of the modern world, while allergies are. So maybe we can treat allergies by studying worm infections

The classes differ in their biological properties, functional locations and ability to deal with different antigens, as depicted in the table.[19] For example, IgE antibodies are responsible for an allergic response consisting of histamine release from mast cells, often a sole contributor to asthma (though other pathways exist as do symptoms very similar to yet not technically asthma). The variable region of these antibodies bind to allergic antigen, for example house dust mite particles, while its Fc region (in the ε heavy chains) binds to Fc receptor ε on a mast cell, triggering its degranulation: the release of molecules stored in its granules.[46]

The only real danger seems to be getting slammed against some rocks or getting bitten by something

But if it’s truly random, the second one becomes a lot less likely?

In Britain specifically:

The data of millions of people in Britain is at risk as a result of significant cybersecurity issues with the government’s planned Digital ID, multiple whistleblowers have warned.

Every now and then I’ll need to confirm an update, but most happen unattended. I don’t know why there’s that discrepancy

There are a few browsers/browser engines in the works, but right now you could try a Firefox fork

Sounds good, let me know whenever :)

I’d love to see the community get some focused attention

If you can load the raw markdown, then you can copy and paste with the markdown link formatting.

I think the Reddit Enhancement Suite added a button to posts that would let you display the source. I can’t check that right now.

For Lemmy, open a post on the website and look for the paper icon. That will let you view the source

Is there something wrong with Lucid’s cars? Most of the discussion I’ve seen seemed positive.

Trakt was popular in the past, and has integrations with Jellyfin, although some people may have left after their pricing/feature changes earlier this year.

Here is a relevant thread you might find helpful: https://lemmy.ca/post/38746526

Libredirect is another one that handles a bunch of similar redirections, although it’s a bit buggy.

I completely missed that, nice catch 😄

From the description on the website:

My family has always been obsessed with animals. We had every pet imaginable while growing up. Maybe 30 different types of animals over the years? I’ve wandered over all 7 continents in this beautiful world to see wild animals very up close in the wild. Sometimes very uncomfortably close. I was never super into bugs.

Once, I visited the middle of nowhere, Mexico, to see the fireflies in the forest. We walked into the forest at dusk. Everyone stood there quietly until the sun fully set. We waited and at first there were a few, then more, and more. Until the entire forest lit up as I had never seen before!

This tries to recreate that magic. While it doesn’t do it justice. If I can make some of you take a moment out of your day to breathe and smile. I did my job for the day.

Now I have a deep appreciation for even the bugs in our big, magnificent world.

Assuming OP is also the creator of the website, thanks for sharing your work here @nomadsteve@lemmy.world :)

Does the amount of water affect the rate of growth, or is it a timing thing?

Am I absorbing water like a sponge, where I’d grow much faster in a pool vs. the rain

Or is it a reaction to any prolonged contact with water

I love it, little guy looks mildly sleepy 😄

Unless something changed very recently, it’s still in early talks

EBU has confirmed early talks are underway, but no decision has been made

However, don’t expect a confirmed new inclusion any time soon, as Eurovision is currently wrestling to keep the contest from tearing itself apart.

Not only that, the numbers don’t make sense

The $2 trillion figure is likely derived from a report published in March by the American Enterprise Institute, a right-wing think tank based in Washington D.C.

The report’s authors came up with the figure based on military expenditures of NATO members between 2000 — six years before the 2 per cent target was actually formalized — and 2024. The report did not provide a dollar value for Canada’s alleged shortfall specifically.
