So what safer kind of pan should we use?

lps41 · a year ago

Cast-iron, or enamel-coated cast-iron.

Well let’s look on the bright side, did they have less auto-immune diseases?

I remember reading that autoimmune diseases are more common in people descended from regions that survived the bubonic plague, and that it’s believed this is because the survivors of the plague had mutations which meant they had a more active immune system.

With something like this, throwing in solar makes a lot of sense (IMO). There are already batteries involved so you could use solar as the primary recharge mechanism with the grid as a backup.

lps41 · 2 years ago

A single apartment complex could almost certainly not cover enough space with solar panels in order to charge a battery to accommodate this.

I doubt it. The alarmists have never been right about global warming. Even back when it was called global cooling. Nor about peak oil. Nor about the ozone. Nor about HIV. Nor about covid. I really can't remember anything the alarmists have been right about. Has drought wiped out california yet? I remember the alarmists were really worried about california a few years ago. Is new orleans underwater yet? I remember how concerned the alarmists were about new orleans. The levee is holding?

Also, the article is from 2022. The eruption occurred in jan 2022. And they only expected it to affect the climate for 'the months to come'. So, no reason to be alarmed now more than 1.5 years after the eruption.

New Orleans is undeniably worse. Sea level in much of the Gulf Coast rose 8 inches from 2006 to 2018: https://www.washingtonpost.com/climate-environment/2023/04/1...

I think someone needs to point out that 20% is a very different number than many people were sold a vaccine under.

How did we drop so far from the 90+% “effectiveness” claims at the beginning? Feels like there needs to be a massive postmortem on the approval process here.

lps41 · 3 years ago

“Effectiveness” was a measurement of reduction in severe infection, not reduction of transmissibility. Nobody ever claimed there was a 90% reduction in transmission.

Which constitutional power gives the president this ability?

lps41 · 3 years ago

The Treasury (under the executive branch) could possibly regulate crypto as a currency, but most likely this would require new legislation from congress to give the Treasury the power to do so.

lps41 commented on Rapamycin, drug used in cancer therapy, emerges as powerful anti-aging remedy age.mpg.de/communications... · Posted by u/cwwc

DoreenMichele · 3 years ago

I now have less gray hair compared to when I started.

I've never taken rapamycin nor even heard of it before today. I have less gray hair than I had twenty years ago.

My understanding is that gray hair suggests a B vitamin deficiency, especially PABA, and a need for adrenal support.

lps41 · 3 years ago

I have less gray hair today than 5 years ago - I think that’s pretty easy for aging men to achieve. ;)

Yeah, just had a call with them and they confirmed that for only VCS its not feasible to use their platform.

What are people migrating to? I am looking at bitbucket again I guess.

lps41 · 4 years ago

Gitolite is open source and really easy to self host if you only need VCS.

Montague makes various full sized folding bikes. I’m quite pleased with the Navigator, but they even make a folding mountain bike, the Paratrooper.

When unfolded, you can’t tell at all that they’re folding bikes.

Rapid antigen tests have a relatively high rate of false negatives.

lps41 · 4 years ago

And only the one person returning from South Africa would have needed to actually be a false negative. The rest may have been true negatives.
