Do viruses and bacteria count? Antibac resistance is building. I imagine a virus that fritzed our brains would give animals some advantage.

Some uk supermarkets have started dropping the use by date in favour of codes like this. www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-45786012 The article says it’s to reduce waste and that staff will have special training to know when to bin stuff. I imagine the training is in how to read the codes.
- Comment on What's inside the London Tower Bridge? 2 months ago:
Both sides have elevators. One side also has the bridge lift, the mechanism that raises the central bridge to let ships through.
- Comment on Why do Americans measure everything in cups? 2 months ago:
Back in my childhood (60+ years ago) we had recipes that called for a “breakfast cup’ of this and a “teacup” of that. And yes, we did have actual breakfast cups and teacups, which had significantly different volumes. What kind of cup do they use in the US I wonder?

What the doctor said that convinced me to take it seriously: you can recover really well from a heart attack and carry on with your life. If a stroke doesn’t kill you, the resulting brain damage will leave you with life-altering conditions, such paralysis of half your body, loss of speech (aphasia), trouble swallowing, memory issues, double vision… it’s quite a list. Losing my independence would be unbearable, so I take my meds and keep my cankles covered. :-)

Ugh high BP is the worst. I’m on two different BP meds, one of which has given me hideous cankles. I console myself that it’s better than having a stroke, but it sucks that I felt better before.
