Was looking into how insecticides work....
just hundreds of billions of little packaged explosions we are...
"Nerve cells do not actually touch each other. When an impulse (a tiny electrical current) gets to the end of one nerve cell, it must jump across a gap, the synapse, which separates that cell from the next. The gap contains acetylcholine (ACh). Molecules of ACh carry the impulse across the gap to the receiving cell, to which they attach themselves. When this happens, the receiving cell sends out a new impulse, continuing the process. After the ACh crosses the synapse and reaches the receiving cell, molecules of another compound, cholinesterase (ChE), attach themselves to the ACh and remove it from the membrane of the receiving cell. This leaves the cell in its original state, able to receive another impulse (see diagram, page XX). All of this happens in a tiny fraction of a second, but a nerve impulse must pass through hundreds or thousands of cells and gaps before it reaches its final destination."

Progress is not made by everyone joining some new fad,
and reveling in it's loyalty. It's made by forming coalitions
over specific principles, goals, and policies.
