PBS Eons has a video that discusses fossil evidence for the anatomy required to make human speech. Essentially, about 3 million years ago.

What is the absolute risk of heart attack, kidney damage, or other issues? I always just see a general "increased risk" but no numbers. Or if there is a number it's the amount of increased risk, not the total risk for a generally healthy person.

If my starting risk for a heart attack is 1%, and NSAIDS increase that by 1%, then I really don't care since NSAIDS allow me to live a pain-free life. I'm always annoyed when doctors advise against using NSAIDS in general without taking these realities into account.

There's also the opposite: remembering something awful you did but the other person doesn't.

Someone once apologized to me for a thing, but I had no memory of it. I'm glad they apologized though because then they didn't have to live with that guilt. It also wasn't too bad of a thing, just some rudeness.
