Dementia, which includes Alzheimer's disease, currently affects around 1.8 million people in Germany. The exact cause has not yet been clarified, but genetic factors play a significant role in the development of the disease. Most previous analyses aimed at the identification of novel Alzheimer's genes used, a "case-control...
Happiness has become today’s fast-paced pursuit. People often relate their contentment from economic success to personal achievements to tangible outcomes. And suppose that the secret of happy life is not about the money that you earn, but about the social and not economic factors, which envelop you. The University of Hong...
The newly identified titanosaur, Garumbatitan morellensis, roamed what is now Spain around 122 million years ago. The unusual shape of some of its bones could hold clues about the evolutionary history of a unique group of sauropods.
The notion that some level of microbial exposure might reduce our risk of developing allergies has arisen over the last few decades and has been termed the hygiene hypothesis.
Standing at a crosswalk, the signal changes from "don't walk," to "walk." You might step out into the street straight away, or you might look both ways before you cross.

Scientists have discovered that cosmic structures grow slower than Einstein's Theory of General Relativity predicts, with dark energy playing a more dominant inhibitory role than previously thought. This finding may reshape our understanding of dark matter, dark energy, and fundamental cosmic theori
/kbin is certainly not dying, as @fr0g pointed out, work on new features and bug fixes is ongoing. However, it may give the impression that it is, and for that, I take full responsibility and owe you an explanation....
Take time for yourself, I don't think anyone's going to blame you for that. And honestly, I don't have any issues with the current state of Kbin, there's a couple bugs here and there but it's entirely usable otherwise. Finally, I think giving yourself a deadline to resolve personal issues might be counterproductive and make you more stressed than you should be. It sounds like you're already taking steps to help spread the workload around, I would just keep spending a little bit of time helping out the team do some stuff you can't do until you're able to get a better work life balance or something.
I guess I'm trying to say, things are great to me and I imagine you're getting that unfortunate side effect of only having people who have something to complain about reach out whereas everyone who has everything going well isn't saying anything. So, in my opinion, you can stay to course (as long as it isn't killing you mentally) and I don't think the site is suffering any for it.
Why YSK: In many places it can take years for a case to come to trial. Judges have to make a decision in such cases to determine whether an accused person should be jailed in the interim. In recent years many jurisdictions have adopted algorithmic tools that essentially create a “risk profile” which assigns a value....
It's that overwrought Victorian (technically pre-Victorian if pre-1837 but w/e) look. Makes it seem like you should look out the window during a stormy night to see a sharp, cast-iron fence ten feet high and a disturbingly pale butler waiting next to your writing desk with a snuff box of mysterious 'medicinal' powder.
Maybe someone smarter than me can explain things, but It's been about a month since I've started the process of creating a magazine to support the reddit/discord community I've helped mod for the past 4 years... but I've noticed that zero posts show up in google search....
