Schweppes has 67.9 mg/L of quinine. I lived in SE Asia for over 7 years with close to 2 years of living in remote areas with dengue and malaria. I drank my Schweppes tonic water because I am sober and enjoy the bitterness, and it gave

You guessed wrong. I am not ignoring "thousands of news articles about the expected animal migrations", but this is not my field and that is why I put the question of the additive factor of illegal immigration of millions across o

Medicines should not be lifelong except with some exceptions. It is not sanctimony. I am not making a show of being morally superior, but of having common sense. It is also a fearful frustration with the mainstream trying to push on to me t

I ran Mach on my PowerPC Mac in 1997 or thereabouts. I ran Minix as well. QNX was a pleasure while running Navigator.

QNX was the OS that Navigator, show control software, runs on. I ran it for over 6 years, and it was bullet proof and snappy. Isn't Minix a microkernel too? What makes Minix an untrue microkernel? I ran Minix back in the day - 1990s.

You misunderstand my argument. I realize how Ozempic and semaglutide works. It dupes you. It does not treat the cause, but the symptom. I hold that discipline, not drugs, are needed. Discipline can be built where it is weak. That is common

Remember that obesity and its attendant maladies were the leading co-morbidity in COVID deaths, but that was conveniently memory-holed for fear of fat shaming. I read a post about the 14-year-old or close girl who died from COVID. The paren

I think the most obvious causes of obesity are known - higher than needed caloric intake and lack of any activity. All the other factors are piled on top of those two simple facts as to why people cannot work on either or both of those two

Yes, but if you have the cash in your pocket, it's not. Robbery is not hacking, and you can confront your robber. Hacking allows nerds to dip into thousands of pockets with hardly a chance of getting caught. The modern world and its yo

We need to push lifestyle change to treat obesity - diet, exercise, sleep - vs. pharmaceuticals. Big pharma just keeps rolling out v2.0, 3.0, etc. for the customers they've built through advertising and having doctor's marketed to

I lived in Macau for 7 years (2009 to 2016) and traveled to Hong Kong frequently from the US. There were always temperature scanners at the airport along with cameras. Travelers had to remove hats when approaching them.

News that was suspected a long time ago, and due to the delay, being stigmatized, and memory-holing of it, the public's attention span and interest will make it a lot softer on getting to the bottom of it and prosecuting the guilty.

I've been riding since I was 18, and I am now almost 60, so I know a bit about reading traffic and being vigilant. It has also made me a better car driver, because the head-on-a-swivel never quits! Complacency is the cause of most acci

I am not saying the premise is BS, but like all engineering and science you create a hypothesis for a phenomenon, in this case the pole shift, to address it, and you create the formulas and parameters to be included and used. As others have
