Another victim of the high blood pressure epidemic 😔
He should’ve tried eating less salt.
- Comment on Are fossil fuels vegan? 1 week ago:
There’s a fair bit of nuance around the topic of whether honey should be vegan or not, since honeybees also overproduce, and that is its own problem. Like with sheep’s wool.
Although crude oil has the additional complication where it’s an incidental post-death product, like fertiliser, and from that viewpoint, it would be about as ethical.

You mentioned diverse weather conditions in your grant application, and we can’t have that.

But sure, some bones on your ass I guess.
Exactly. Why live?

Assuming this effect existed, wouldn’t the memory of the water be polluted with all kind of things (as water is recycled all the time)?
Yes.
If longer exposure makes the memory stronger, you should be getting a lethal dose of salt quite easily
No, it would be the reverse. The water would magnetise to the salt, and draw it out of you, making you very dead.

The supposed science behind homeopathy was already known, though. It was never a mystery.
It basically worked around the pseudoscientific principle that water remembered what used to be in it, so it you diluted out water concentrated with the thing you had, it would somehow “remember” what was in it, and when taken, would draw it from the body through done principle of magnetism, or something like that.

Makes some sense. If it can absorb nutrients, it can probably absorb gases too.

It’s like the brain. There’s a tiny barrier that keeps the immune system out of it, and it breaking down is thought to be the cause of a few major brain conditions.

They supply the rest of the eye. It’s just the transparent bit on front that doesn’t get much of anything.

They do have blood, as any ER doc could tell you.
However, they can also breathe in a manner of speaking. Enough that it’s proposed as a possible method to keep someone alive if their lungs don’t work.
- Comment on best episodes for people who've never seen star trek? 3 weeks ago:
At the same time, Yesterday’s Enterprise needs some context. It doesn’t work quite as well in a vacuum.
Like why it was such a big deal that Tasha Yar finding out she didn’t exist in another timeline, why the Klingon war is such a horrible development, and why the Enterprise was willing to put itself on the line to send them back to change history.
Plus it’s also unusually gory for TNG. A couple of people die in quite violent and horrible ways, and they could easily be misread as being the standard tone for the show, rather than the exception.

I personally found the first episode of Lower Decks to be a bit of a turn-off. It felt a bit too much like Star Trek Rick and Morty.
- Comment on human geography 3 weeks ago:
All manner of confusion would ensue I’d assume, also being a Brit and I have never heard ‘fag’ being recognised as a slur here
Might be an Americanisation thing, where it’s leaking over either from US media, or the internet.

What’s your use case?
One of the biggest weaknesses of the XM4 is that they don’t food like their predecessors or successors.
If you want to carry it around a lot, it might not make sense to buy them compared to what you already have, or one of the other models.

What’s wrong with it? It’s very much a product of its time, but it’s still serviceable.
- Comment on If I invented a shirt that caused cameras to be damaged when filmed/photographed, would I be committing a crime by wearing the shirt at events with cameras? 4 weeks ago:
Although that really only works as long as the camera doesn’t have an IR filter in place.

You joke, but there are already protheses which are proprietary, and have shut down. Artificial eyes is a famous example, where the company making one shut down the product line, and blinded people who’d had it installed, due to it just shutting off.

Only if the alternative was doing nothing. Having to sit down and stay still in a chair for many hours whilst hooked up to machinery doesn’t sound like much of an improvement.

Bug.
The original bug was a moth in computer-relays.
Humans are squishy like bug, and behave semi-unpredictably like bug. Therefore, bug.

So where does that put people who have been electrified? Did they simply die of terror because they thought they had grasped a live wire?

Interesting. Always thought chewing gum was more like when you made “plastic” out of the caesin in milk.

I think so? The metal clicky lighters you used to see in James Bond films and the like.
- Comment on Discussion Thread 🪁 Monday 7 July 2025 2 months ago:
Is the only place to buy those posh lighters only at smokos or the internet?
Was thinking of getting one as a gift, but since I don’t smoke, no idea where the proper place to get one is.
- Comment on Why covering our shoulders with a mantle or blanket is so efficient at warming us? 2 months ago:
More to less. It varies a bit, but it extends a tiny bit along the shoulders and down the spine.
The brown fat is basically a metabolic heater, so indulating it will help warm things up.

Urine probably also helps flush things out too, so you don’t need to deal with as many infections from bacteria who also want a share of the nutrient gel gametes get.

Socialism as in Norway, not Stalin.
It should be pointed out that Norway is not socialist. It’s a social democracy/capitalist country.
