Do you think it would help if us humans switched from fish oil supplements to algae oil? Of course those fish are used for protein meal for other purposes, including aquacultural feed and more, but maybe it's a small step in the right

Nice HN humor thanks! Let's not forget the mysterious but very real placebo effect though! Most of the supplement industry ($50 billion in the US annually dome say) - which you could look at as a waste of money, or a relatively safe a

In light of allthe talk about ultraprocessed food dangers, and the mention of junk food consumption early in the course of this adventure, is it possible that diet played a role here? Frequent physical exercise and a high-protein, high fib

thanks, did not see that. This may be the source material. Seems like a "UHP is the new smoking" moment just like "excess sitting without breaks" was the "new smoking" several years ago.

Blondi will do as she's told, right? Didn't she previously say, months ago, that she had the files on her desk, ready for release. Of course, any video evidence should be redacted. Seeing that could cause lifelong psychological

As a veteran of the pharma industry, I've studied some old school medications from the Soviet era. Many are still available from eastern European countries. It's fascinating reading to see the "non-Western" (and far ch

maybe the AI data centers should be financed through klarna. Would that help? I mean, if the AI is superintelligent, figuring out how to pay the loan shark should be easy peasy. Maybe build a Superportfolio of undervalued stocks to finan

We get serious grasshopper damage around here, esp the last two years. It's cyclical, but not all crops are seriously affected. Root crops are usually very robust. I tried neem and diatomaceous earth against the hoppers. Different me

Piled higher and Deeper? Those who have been buying food at supermarkets likely strongly disagree lately. Demand at food banks is 3x higher locally this year. So where is the Q&A section for PhD Fed economists?

Supposedly, Taiwan based TSMC employees are always on call, and they'll get out of bed during the night to answer the call and go to work. I read that a while back... but it makes sense. Extreme work ethic and extreme competence.
