I don't know about that. I don't have any statistics to speak of, but I rather doubt that's true. That said, they do use a lot more AI to try and engineer bioactive molecules these days (particularly if protein based).
Uh... no. I almost did myself in back when I was young and stupid by anointing myself with hemlock essential oil. Very bad news.
But herbalism is very legit when you aren't taken in by all the woo. Almost all the big-pharma prescribed by doctors is derived from ethnobotony plagerised from indigenous medicine keepers anyway, even if they synthesise it or tweak the molecule in order to qualify for a patent. The real herbs though are generally way more effective because of the entourage effect, and if you know enough about foraging, can be obtained for $0 with a little bit of elbow grease and know-how, and maybe at most a mickey of vodka and a mason jar.
I know there're herbal aphrodisiacs. One priestess I circled with years ago used to make a mean May wine using Turnera diffusa and Galium odoratum primarily, that had extremely potent arousing effects on all who consumed it. Some people also suggest to use Pausinystalia johimbe, but that can be a bit dangerous (potentially heart attack inducing). But yeah, suffice it to say these things aren't a mere myth (speaking from experience).
When you associate blue with male and pink with female, you are promoting a concept popularised by Nazis. When you practice Hatha Yoga, you are using a series of exercises originated by Niels Bukh, a gay Nazi gymnastics teacher from Denmark whom Krishnamacharya borrowed from to create his basic set of Yoga asanas. If we had to list the number of elements of popular culture which were originated or inspired by Nazis, or companies who had dealings with Nazis (eg. General Motors, Ford Motor Company, AT&T, Eastman Kodak, Standard Oil, Singer, International Harvester, Gillette, Coca-Cola, Kraft, Westinghouse, United Fruit, Volkswagon, etc) in order to avoid their use, it'd be quite a different world to say the least. To say nothing of the upper echelons of corporate, political and military leadership in Ukraine and Israel, and folks like the Biden family who sponsored and collaborated with them...
Sure. But in the case of Zetas, their top level leadership and tactics are almost entirely drawn from Mexico's military special forces which were trained by CIA and Mossad, etc. They're basically a private army with direct roots and training tied to elite special forces units globally.
A lot of blowback from "School of the Americas" etc involved in this. Many of these narco terrorists and other rebel groups were armed, trained and funded by the US military/intelligence community to act as proxy armies to implement regime change throughout South America.

⚡Lord of Misrule⚡I respect Trump's efforts to stop bleeding cash to Ukraine, but he's trying to make out like USA was dragged into supporting a foreign war against their will, when they were the one's who directly engineered it via regime change back in 2004 and again in 2014, including orchestrated an ethnic cleansing against ethnic Russians in Donbas that continued for 8 years before the "special military operation". You have to be retarded to think this was Ukraine's or Russia's fault alone. Even Canada's political class were balls deep in causing it from day one.
https://hover.com/ isn't bad. I have one domain with them and they've been decent enough. I think they're a division of OpenSRS/Tucows (I used to be one of their devs) which is one of the largest backend registrar providers in the world.
Hubbard got involved in OTO/Thelema via Jack Parsons (the rocket scientist who founded JPL). Crowley seriously did not like Hubbard, and saw him as an unscrupulous manipulator and narcissist (takes one to know one I guess). But there's definitely something to be said for creating your own religion (even if it's just for you alone), because a) it means you understand it's purpose and meanings 100%, and b) since it's personal you're more likely to have the courage of your convictions. However most people who try to create a religion for other people are just in it for the power and often also money.
Seems completely unrelated to either pilot error or ATC error. Occam's razor says a gust of high speed cross-wind caught the wings and flipped the plane while it was in it's final approach to land. No one died, except for a few injuries. According to one of the passengers they were on approach and then suddenly landed sideways and flipped over.
At least it's not svn. Lost count how many times I ended up with unrecoverably corrupt repos trying to use that dumpster fire. The worst I had with git is it crapping out and becoming corrupt with too much data. But at least it's mostly recoverable.
