The normal deadlocks also let you key lock it to unlocked, which I do on laundry day as I’m constantly in and out of the back door and don’t want to carry my keys

You’d have an awful time demonstrating intent.


Industrial agriculture is bad whether it makes beef or broccoli
Unfortunately we need it to feed us all. Regenerative agriculture (which builds soil) is much better and requires stock animals


Spend $10k to recover $700 of ruined food?


If you have a microprocessor, you might as well use it to control the thermostat so the user can use software controls instead of a dial
I married a horse girl, she rode well
She also hated being a parent and left me and our daughter
They are varied. Red wines have more tannins than white, white wines come in different sweetness, with the less sweet ones described as dry
If you wanted to try a red wine I would suggest starting on merlot
I wouldn’t recommend drinking an entire bottle in a day. Opened wine can be kept in the fridge for a few days
That’s teetotal, nothing to do with the nice hot cuppa
Also last time I saw teetotalers being less healthy than occasional drinkers was decades ago before never drinking became normal among the youth as they came of age
Back then the only reason to not drink was to treat alcoholism or a serious problem. Now people abstain because their friends do
Good for riding through a desert
No one recommends 9 hours sleep. Humans in the wild (hunter gatherers) sleep about 6 hours. People in the industrialised world sleep about 7 or 8 hours. We don’t know whether 8 hours is better or worse than six
In respect to green leaves I have read that it is most likely a peak. They can’t get to a better colour that doesn’t send away lots of energy because they would have to lose the ability to make energy from sunlight to get to a better way of doing it
Plants manage to use about 2% of the sunlight that hits them (the best get up to 6%) . Our rooftop solar does 22% (with the best managing 25%)
I presume it’s because some pathogens are adapted to us, or it’s because of our changed diet since the agricultural revolution 10k years ago at most, or our population density and food production and transportation system causes greater exposure to pathogens, or done mix of all those and probably more
The modern world is pretty complex
Funny. The thing I found said the stomach acid was strongest in a fasted state, I didn’t read its reference for that state, 'cause I don’t usually bother reading too deeply on what amounts to a “humans are pretty remarkable” comment.
Incidentally I don’t like Wikipedia on anything diet or digestion related as they are not allowed to reference primary research, and what makes it to newspapers is the information with money behind it. I don’t want Coca-Cola and Unilever’s take on human health.
Looking it up I just read that our gastric acid is produced at PH 0.8
It’s immediately increased to PH 1.5 by the other gastric juices, then is increased more as it is used to digest
People who eat one or two meals a day probably have very acidic stomach acid at each meal; those who snack constantly or eat 5 meals a day probably never see strong stomach acid except maybe at breakfast
Human stomach acid is as low as PH 1.5
We are descended from scavengers
The acid we make is PH 0.8, it goes to 1.5 when mixed with the other gastric juices
The elevated part is called an island in Australia, or if it is protected it’s a pedestrian refuge
Indeed. I blame swipe typing and too little review
The floor provides the necessary force
You picked the wrong pedants. Bows are shot, not fired
It seems like this person with the murder meat eater name isn’t quite sane. I have read that vegans suffer from shrinking of their brains, and I strongly believe it when I see them shouting online
Also this is in a thread about vandalism against AI data centres. I wonder what made that guy think it was a place for diet warfare
