#life span

[mindblowingscience]

People with obsessive-compulsive disorder, or OCD for short, are 82 percent more likely to die earlier – from natural or unnatural causes – than people without the condition, a new study reveals. Previous studies have found excess deaths in people with OCD, but the specific causes of death had been poorly researched – maybe with the exception of suicide. Notably, people with OCD have similar suicide rates to people with other mental health disorders.

MOC's Really Long Life Span

When I’m playing the Sims, I love to have really long life spans. With MCCC, you can customize how many days each life span is to extend the length of short, normal, and long life spans. First, I will explain a little how to use MCCC to make these setting adjustments in game, then I will explain my calculations for you. DISCLAIMER I am not a mathematician and I’m not the best with math, so my…

Sorry, it's a bit late, but here are the fic recs no. 106 to 109 "Restart Window Paper Series". These fics are closely related to each other. There is a recommended reading order by the writer:

《悬崖》 "Cliff" → 《命蛊》 "Fate Gu" → 《深海以下》 "Below the Deep Sea" → 《敦伦之乐》 "The Joy of Dunlun*" (Bonus 🚗)

① [PX Fic Rec 106] 悬崖 "Cliff"

𝐑𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠: T | 𝐒𝐭𝐚𝐭𝐮𝐬: Complete | 𝐋𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐮𝐚𝐠𝐞: Chinese | 𝐋𝐞𝐧𝐠𝐭𝐡: 25 Chapters | 𝐓𝐚𝐠𝐬: Canon Setting—Restart, Window Paper (has not been pierced) | 𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭’𝐬 𝐢𝐧𝐬𝐢𝐝𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐟𝐢𝐜: Wu Xie's First Person POV, Action/Adventure

𝐀𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐟𝐢𝐜: This fic fills the scene after NPSS's statement that he got drunk and changed the story. It starts from when Pangzi entered the calling spring from tulou, and Wu Xie met Liu Sang. There are some additional PingXie scenes and other necessary changes for the sake of the plot.

② [PX Fic Rec 107] 命蛊 "Fate Gu"

𝐑𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠: T | 𝐒𝐭𝐚𝐭𝐮𝐬: Complete | 𝐋𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐮𝐚𝐠𝐞: Chinese | 𝐋𝐞𝐧𝐠𝐭𝐡: 30 Chapters | 𝐓𝐚𝐠𝐬: Canon Setting—Restart and Yucun (Notes in Rain Village), Clear Water, Window Paper, HE | 𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭’𝐬 𝐢𝐧𝐬𝐢𝐝𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐟𝐢𝐜: Wu Xie's First Person POV, Action/Adventure, Ambiguous Relationship, Life Span

𝐀𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐟𝐢𝐜: This fic is a continuation from 《悬崖》 "Cliff". After their last adventure in Restart, Iron Triangle came back to Yucun. How𝐀𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐟𝐢𝐜:𝐀𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐟𝐢𝐜:ever, for some reason, Xiaoge and Fatty's wound couldn't heal for a long time. In order to find the cure, they once again embarked in a new adventure. The main topic of this fic is the life span matter and it is solved here.

③ [PX Fic Rec 108] 深海以下 "Below the Deep Sea"

𝐑𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠: T | 𝐒𝐭𝐚𝐭𝐮𝐬: Complete + Extra | 𝐋𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐮𝐚𝐠𝐞: Chinese | 𝐋𝐞𝐧𝐠𝐭𝐡: 22 Chapters + 8 Extras | 𝐓𝐚𝐠𝐬: Canon Setting—Ten Years, Restart, and Yucun (Notes in Rain Village), Pierce the Window Paper, Dual POV, HE | 𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭’𝐬 𝐢𝐧𝐬𝐢𝐝𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐟𝐢𝐜: Wu Xie's First Person POV, Zhang Qiling's First Person POV

𝐀𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐟𝐢𝐜: After Zhang Qiling came back, he took it for granted that he and Wu Xie were already together, but Wu Xie mistakenly thought that the other party was straight and insists that he was actually straight too. To make it worse, Wu Xie didn’t dare to ask or say anything about it.

"Last question, what is the deepest place on the seabed?"

I thought for a while and said, "How do I know this? With the current modern technology, it is still impossible to explore such a deep place, and whether there is a deeper place is also an unknown field. It is estimated that only the sea itself knows."

"Do you understand?" The fat man looked at me and gestured upwards with his hands, "What can be measured and seen is the part that is exposed. The part that is most hidden..." He poked me with his finger, "Only the sea knows."

④ [PX Fic Rec 109] 敦伦之乐 "The Joy of Dunlun*"

𝐑𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠: M/R | 𝐒𝐭𝐚𝐭𝐮𝐬: Complete | 𝐋𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐮𝐚𝐠𝐞: Chinese | 𝐖𝐨𝐫𝐝𝐬: 2,886 | 𝐓𝐚𝐠𝐬: Canon Setting—Yucun (Notes in Rain Village), Zhang Qiling's First Person POV | 𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭’𝐬 𝐢𝐧𝐬𝐢𝐝𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐟𝐢𝐜: First Time, Established Relationship

𝐀𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐟𝐢𝐜: This part is also the first extra story of 《深海以下》 "Below the Deep Sea".

Before having a relationship, I regarded sex as optional. Although I occasionally had thoughts, I was not sure whether both of us were ready.

Until one night, I had a s*xual impulse towards Wu Xie.

𝐖𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐞𝐫’𝐬 𝐚𝐭𝐭𝐫𝐢𝐛𝐮𝐭𝐞: PingXie Only

𝐏𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐨𝐩𝐢𝐧𝐢𝐨𝐧: It's really really worth to read! The overall story is great 💖 The plot is not too fast or too slow, and the whole thing makes sense. I think PingXie is a type of ship where everything needs to be taken slowly, it's easy to become greasy if you don't write it carefully... and the writer really did a good job, even Xiaoge's smut part doesn't feel out of place. The double perspective is also impressive, I can feel Xiaoge's strong and independent personality here. I mean that he always has his own thought, even in canon, he isn't the type of character who likes to follow along blindly without thinking. He comes to this point because he wants to do so, he always has his own reason to do something. It's just that Wu Xie's perspective make it difficult to know what Xiaoge is thinking. This is one of the best window paper fics I've ever read! (⁠*⁠˘⁠︶⁠˘⁠*⁠)⁠.⁠｡⁠*⁠♡

How long do bug types live?

It really varies depending the species.

Smaller species like Wurmple usually have shorter life span, which can increase as they evolve however their average is about 5-10 years.

Bigger bug types or bug adjacent can live much longer, the Drapion line can live well over 25 years with a trainer.

Size is a pretty big factor in their lifespan.

It's upsetting how short their lives can be, but they make some serious impacts on our lives and we may never see it.

Their pollination helps keep our plants growing for a long time, and some even help break down certain trash in conjunction with certain grass and poison types.

Studying and observing bug types I incredibly rewarding and we should be thankful for them.

Life Span

As though a drop plummeting from the tap, which can neither alter its trajectory nor stop its fluent descent, were to infer and thereby devise from one half-open bathroom door's spied horrors and side-angled awes ever more ornate cosmic laws— as though, in just that single milliliter's millisecond, in that one-room schoolhouse chockablock with cheap talk, tête-à-têtes, oratorios, and complex silences, it could compose from conjures and conjecture a concrete and complete theory of human architecture—

Don't you guys think it's wild how cats looked exactly the same in reinasce, renasc, renas, *looks* renaissance times?

Like, humans, cats and all other creatures changed nothing, they look exactly the same, this painting could be portraying today and no one would ever know

What I mean is: it is SO unstressably recent, it was basically yesterday, no evolution happened, and yet it's "the past" for us, we didn't live it, we merely hear about it, it's just as unreachable for us as the dinosaurs, the human life span is so insignificant it's distressing

Shifting Focus: Prioritizing Health Span Over Life Span

Shifting Focus: Health Span vs. Life Span In the past, the primary objective for many was simply to extend life as much as possible. However, a new paradigm has emerged in recent years: the emphasis on living a longer life in good health. “The focus now is on health span, not life span,” explains Dr. Frank Lipman, a co-author of the 2020 book The New Rules of Aging Well. “While we often discuss…

生殖細胞の違いが寿命に影響

　ヒトを含む多くの動物でオスよりメスの寿命が長いのはなぜか。（中略）そこでグループが注目したのは、アフリカの乾燥地帯にすむターコイズキリフィッシュという魚。退潮センチほどで、寿命はわずか数か月だ。メスがオスより２０％ほど長生きする。

　遺伝子操作により、生殖細胞がないメスとオスをつくったところ、体が大きくなった。寿命についてはオスとメスで逆の効果が出るとわかった。オスは平均寿命が１３％延び、メスは逆に７％縮んだ。
