@thebeekeeperfox @SantaFlori Eh, le-a adus si el aminte japonezilor sa nu si-o ia in cap cu reinarmarea.

You want to see a man panic ask him:
"Honey, do you remember what day is today?"

@WilsonCrypto @BenBikmanPhD "Ketones are a survival backup"
Until like 10000 years ago carbs were available only a few months a year on most of the planet.
English
@BenBikmanPhD Glucose is the preferred fuel in a fed state, carbs support performance and insulin sensitivity (Himsworth). Ketones are a survival backup, Cahill showed they take over when fasting.
Humans are metabolically flexible.
Calling carbs ‘misinformation’ is ignoring basic physiology.
English
Glucose is such a fickle fuel. No other nutrient experiences the swings glucose does, rising and falling dramatically throughout the day. And the brain appears to suffer the most, undergoing periods of feeding frenzies and starvation within hours of each other. pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39044609/
Give your brain a break. Controlling carbs not only stabilizes glucose availability, but also introduces ketones. Ketones, incidentally, are the brain's preferred fuel. If given equal access to glucose and ketones, the brain selects ketones at about 2/3 the rate of glucose.

Mead does not seem to be in Ehrlich's camp, at least based on what she says in this video.
She also seems would be opposed to the very recent reincarnation of feminism, here she's talking about women being allowed to do interesting things not replacing men.
The context of that interview was atmospheric nuclear testing, that's what she is talking about, and in that context she says clearly population is not the real problem.
The interviewer is pushing hard on the population topic but she's resisting him.
She talks like a 1960s liberal, which the "liberals" of today call "far right" ;-).

Margaret Mead was not a big fan of so many babies.
Amazing how "population control" was a popular topic on late night television.

"Yes — the same network of population control advocates (Paul Ehrlich, John Holdren, and their circle, amplified by the Club of Rome and figures like Margaret Mead) effectively launched the organized alarmist phase of modern climate change advocacy in the mid-1970s."
Really?

My childhood memories about goats are guarding them so they won't commit suicide by turning around bushes and trees and strangling themselves with the tethers.
They're good even at vegetation control, not only weeds, will eat anything.
Searched for "goat tether" and it seems there exists an entire industry focused on preventing goat self-harm.
Fresh goat cheese made with rennet, not yet dried and not aged: that is what made guarding goats worthwhile for me.
The milk is saltier than cow's milk but supposedly very healthy.

@emilper 😭How could you! Haven't tried it but in weed control and playfulness they have no rivals, for sure. I've fond childhood memories playing with goats.

@Al_Stoyanov Mâță would be pronounced almost like "маца" and "cotoi" is not very far from "gatto" from Italian.
Română
@Al_Stoyanov In Romanian also "mâță" for female cat and "cotoi" for male cat.
Română
Bulgarian actually has all three forms - котка, мачка/маца & писана (kotka, matsa/machka & pisana)

@michael_trumper @drjasonfung In the US there was a baby bump :-) pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10… , not sure about the rest of the world.

@emilper @drjasonfung I thought that there was a slight increase in childbirths during this period.

Rather concerning - an 11.1% increase in cancer deaths from 2019 to 2022. #all-charts" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">ourworldindata.org/grapher/cancer…

@michael_trumper @drjasonfung age-standardized rate still going down after a short rise, so it's population getting older and less children being conceived during lockdowns

"Wind and sun are free*
Correct. But the machines to turn that free energy into electricity are very expensive
As is the grid infrastructure to deliver it to homes
And the backup for when it's not windy and sunny
And the other generation that has to turn up and down to balance the grid in real time due to the real time intermittency
Added together it's actually very expensive to use that free wind and sun in practice

Archaeo - Histories@archeohistories
In 1980, a bioarchaeologist at Emory University named George Armelagos was studying ancient human bones from Sudanese Nubia, the kingdom that flourished along the Nile south of Egypt between roughly 350-550 CE, when something stopped him. Under ultraviolet light, the bones glowed. They fluoresced with a distinctive yellow-green color that Armelagos recognized immediately, because the same glow appeared in the bones of modern patients who had been treated with tetracycline. The antibiotic binds tightly to calcium and phosphorus in bone tissue as the body metabolizes it, leaving a permanent fluorescent marker. What Armelagos was seeing in bones nearly two thousand years old was chemically identical to what he saw in twentieth-century medical subjects. The archaeological community was skeptical. The received history of antibiotics began with Alexander Fleming’s discovery of penicillin in 1928, and tetracycline itself was not isolated until 1948. The idea that a pre-literate population in the Nile valley had been routinely ingesting it seemed implausible, and the initial findings were dismissed as post-mortem contamination from soil bacteria. Armelagos spent three more decades building the case. He eventually partnered with Mark Nelson, a leading tetracycline specialist at Paratek Pharmaceuticals, who agreed to perform a definitive chemical analysis. The process required dissolving the ancient bones in hydrogen fluoride, one of the most corrosive and dangerous acids in existence. What the resulting liquid-chromatography mass-spectrometry analysis found was not a trace of tetracycline. The bones were saturated with it. Multiple tetracycline variants were identified, including chlortetracycline and oxytetracycline, in concentrations indicating sustained exposure beginning in early childhood and continuing throughout life. Ninety percent of the Nubian individuals tested showed the labeling. The exposure had not been accidental or occasional. It had been lifelong and deliberate. The source was their beer. Ancient Egyptian and Nubian brewing began with grain, typically emmer wheat or barley, which in that region was naturally contaminated with Streptomyces, a soil bacterium that produces tetracycline as a metabolic byproduct. The grain was germinated, made into bread, then incompletely baked to preserve an active center, and finally fermented in vats of water. The standard practice was to seed each new batch with ten percent of the previous one, which kept the Streptomyces culture alive and active from batch to batch in a continuous chain. The resulting brew was thick, sour, low in alcohol, and highly nutritious. Everyone drank it, including children as young as two years old. The critical question Armelagos could not fully resolve was whether the Nubians understood what they were doing. The consensus among researchers is that they almost certainly did not know the mechanism. They had no concept of bacteria, no understanding of antibiotics as a drug class, and no language for what tetracycline was doing in their bodies. What they likely did know, accumulated through generations of observation and passed down as practical knowledge, was that this particular preparation of beer had medicinal effects. Ancient Egyptian and Jordanian medical texts record beer being used to treat gum disease, wounds, and other infections. The brewing method that produced tetracycline appears to have been deliberately maintained and refined over centuries, not by any understanding of the chemistry involved, but by the accumulated recognition that it worked. #archaeohistories

@thebeekeeperfox mda, si cum e cu rezistenta la antibiotice ? :-)

The intermittents are weak in themselves, no need for anti-development pious fan fiction :-).
That "sludge" is the base rock after the interesting minerals were removed. If it was from a uranium mine it has a lot less uranium and it is a lot less radioactive than the original ore.
Sad how the anti-development stance prospers just because it can be used to oppose the use of intermittent power sources.
