A Pokemon ROM was recently decompiled. According to the project, it took about $56,000 USD in tokens for a 4 megabyte file.

Granted, there's always the cost/hr of manually doing it, but that $56k in tokens is no chump change for a hobbyist sector.

This tells us neither of those 2 things.
But you can specualte all you want.

Not the whole 14th amendment, just the interpretation of Birthright Citizenship.
Its important to be clear and concise.

No

Read the report linked in almost every single post here from Australia.
Southern reef is FLAT since 1986, with ups and downs in between.
Northern and Central reefs are in the top 4 highest years since 1986.

The most tracked reefs are in Australia, its where we have the best data.

If you take numbers from a few years ago and compare them to 2025, it will seem like we lost 28-35 %, but they where at their peak a few years ago.
Reefs regenerate and go through cycles.

Indeed.

Though I am for increased research your assertion that western countries state led research is more aligned with what the population wants is false.
Pharmaceuticals have a much higher input on State run research than the population.

I am a right-winger capitalist and the problem is incentives are skewed by the regulatory capture from governements. Regulations being lobbied and directed by pharmaceuticals.

The problem is over regulation.

Your assertion would be right in a highly competitive free market. Which is not the environment we currently have in western or any nations, when it comes to medical research.

They don't show that.

Low cholesterol is correlated with higher all cause mortality.
High cholesterol is correlated with lower all cause mortality.

Also, over half of all heart attack patients show cholesterol levels below recommended guidlines. Demonstrating high blood cholesterol as not being correlated to CHD.

Cholesterol plaques in the arteries are definately the cause of heart attacks, but the reason they are found there is to repair damaged arteries from inflammation.
Lowering total cholesterol does not prevent heart disease, because it isnt the underlying reason for arterial damage. The main one being inflammation from insulin resistance and other causes of inflammation.

You are 100% right on this.

The same diets which would cause insulin resitance and cause inflammation would also present oral health with high bacteria content.

Indeed.

However the association could be an indicator of bad nutritional habbits.

High sugar/glucose/carb diets will be inflammatory, leading to insulin resistance and CHD.
The same diets will be obvious in oral health, as identified above.

The association IMO is a good correlation. But as you point out, it isnt the cause of the CHD.

CHD being mostly an inflammatory disease, mainly caused by insulin resistance, also is caused and exacerbate by any other factors that cause inflammation.

The seed oils mentioned above are known to be highly inflammatory.

This is most likely true, however I would postulate that since CHD is mostly caused by inflammation from insulin resistance, those with massive issues from too much glucose or carbs will also have more oral bacteria problems from the same bad habits.

This is probably multifactorial.

Actually, this will happen in arteries and not veins.

The reason atherosclerosis is mostly found in arteries is because the pressure is much higher than in veins.

Arteries carry blood away from the heart (more pressure closest to the pump).
Veins carry blood to the heart (less pressure at the end of the line just before the pump).

CHD is caused by inflammation.

Inflammation causes damage to arteries and cholesterol shows up to repair it.
When the damage is severe, the cholesterol causes plaques that cause the blockages.

The main culprit of inflammation is insulin resistance brought on in most cases by too much glucose/carbs.
However there are many other sources of inflammation.

Infectious diseases will most certainly excacerbate inflammation and can trigger heart attacks in already inflammed patients.

The Australian data shows 2022-2025 have peak reef highs since 1986 for northern and central reefs.
Only Southern reef is pretty flat over that same period.

So you are wrong it would seem, according to Australian governement data.
