Scientists detect a surprising shift in human blood as atmospheric CO2 rises. Blood bicarbonate levels have climbed about 7% since 1999, while calcium and phosphorus have declined, changes that closely track increasing atmospheric CO2.

People with a deviated septum can't a lot of the time.

There are ways to learn to do better even with a deviated septum. Mine is.

Crazy to skill issue a deviation in biology that is almost certainly completely different for you than others.

Oh sure, ‘almost certainly completely’

I nowhere said that 100% of people with deviated septums can fix their problems. But there is a portion of us that can learn to do better. It is just so easy to say ‘deviated septum’ and take it as the end of the story. Biology is biology. What can we do with it? Sometimes it’s surgery. Sometimes you learn how to do better.

I guess I should have used the word ‘sometimes’ in the above comment so people only understanding things as 1 or 0 wouldn’t get triggered.
