Make sure those mushrooms are prepared well though because as I understand it, the human digestive system has a hard time breaking down chitin cell walls, so without proper preparation, the mushrooms may pass through…
I've recently run into and explored research explaining that natural sunlight stimulates energy production in mitochondria, resulting in an energizing and healing effect completely separate from vitamin D production. I…
Funny that I should run into this now... Just this past weekend I tried the Home Assistant backup/restore mechanism for the first time, and it failed miserably for me :-(. First it took over an hour to create the…
If you are at all comfortable with Linux system administration, manually setting up one or a handful of KVM/qemu powered virtual machines is not actually that hard at all (in my experience). If you like a GUI to guide…
It sure can make a difference. Sickness caused by bacteria doesn't happen as soon as one bad bacteria (bacterium?) enters your body, a certain critical mass is usually required. This is very similar to the concept of…
American independent journalism seems to be dying (unfortunately) but I think in Europe there are several large news organizations reporting on things that matter in a relatively independent fashion, at least a lot more…
I'm really glad to read that the wrecking ball that is Trump & Musk's "reducing government costs" initiative in the US government didn't take out this very important foundation of _worldwide_ IT security. I'm thankful…
In some places in the US the use of sewage sludge to fertilize farm land is turning into a shit show of epic proportions (sorry couldn't resist ;-) due to severe PFAS contamination:…
Might it not be possible to "harvest" carbon from sources on e.g. the moon [1], thereby requiring less effort to launch those resources into orbit? Feel free to point out if I'm talking (thinking) nonsense here... [1]…
That's a really nice way to visualize how modern human knowledge is extended through scientific efforts. Thanks for sharing! (thanks also to the GP who introduced the concept)
But surely this process you outline implies that the PFAS already there was deposited in the (distant) past and is no longer being deposited in any substantial quantity, otherwise the problem will just reoccur (build up…
Well certainly antibiotics resistance (MRSA [1]) is a problem exacerbated by intense farming practices [2]. To the best of my knowledge there are two big sources of MRSA: Hospitals and livestock farming (the latter of…
Fairly recent research claims that hobby (backyard) chickens tend to have higher PFAS contamination than factory farmed chickens because hobby chickens get the chance to eat (a lot of) rain worms whereas the factory…
I was going to suggest tempeh as well. It takes some practice and creativity to turn tempeh into interesting meals [1], but it makes the beans much easier to digest, and the tempeh adds extra dietary fiber,…
Fruit, seeds, grains, legumes, one can find quite a lot to eat without "killing" a plant. Admittedly though most (if not all) vegetables do involve killing a whole plant.
The particles affected by the ionizer are already floating in the air that is being inhaled into the lungs. For the sake of this discussion (i.e. disregarding accidental generation of ozone), wouldn't it be better if…
I would be interested in that as well! I've been kind of obsessed with fermentation for a couple of years now, but it's all based on research driven by my own interests (I learn best when I immerse myself in a subject,…
> it's ridiculous that Google is also forcing this onto the rest of the world. Yeah I was surprised (and frankly annoyed) by this as well, I don't see the value of showing this to everyone in the world when all of this…

The potential for unchecked "growth" and potentially fatal infection vaguely reminds me of the terrifying aspects of prion based diseases. Thanks for giving me another theoretical nightmare scenario to worry about in…
I've read multiple times (over the years) that swifts are known for sleeping while in flight during their migrations between Africa and Europe. The best reference I could find right now is…
I use the same heuristic for when I should switch from shell to Python :-). Arrays (especially associative ones, at least for me) are a good indication that a more advanced language like Python might be more appropriate…
malloc/free are for heap based allocations. The grand parent explicitly mentioned he was referring to stack based allocations, which are kind of automatic (implicit).
Compliments to the author for clearly explaining all of the steps involved. I've never gone this deep, although I have previously converted remote headless Linux servers to full disk encryption using similar techniques.…
I think toxicity is a relative concept, not absolute. I mean you can die from drinking too much water (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_intoxication) yet at the same time you need to drink plenty of water to survive.…
