Admittedly I was thinking along the lines of gin and other drinks herbal contents. But while Buckfast Abbey is guarded about "the recipe" they say it is essentially the same as it was 120 years ago. It is said to be made from &quo

Buckfast doesn't deserve to be lumped with glue sniffing. It is more an icon of revelry than alcoholism with it costing about twice as much as cheap wine. Its herbal stimulants give it an immediate effect similar to doing shots of a sp

I think its a dubious comparison - like comparing the physiological effects of a drug, with a physical altercation. Hoeing (chopping and mixing the soil) has a radical effect on its biology, which the researchers mention as "the inevit

I didn't reply to a point that was at all limited to regulated forestry in British Columbia. The google search was relevant to illustrate that concerned organisations have been campaigning against clearfelling for decades. Tasmanian ra

I tried a bit of treeplanting work myself in 90's Scotland, but couldn't stick the physical workload to be honest. Forestry there and in the rest of the UK is in the main still quite ecologically insensitive and also massively und

It has been characteristically eco-destructive and defended its business to be so, even where standards exist and are enforced to require replanting - this has practically resulted in dense monoculture plantations not sustainable forest hab

Cutting it in that manner is definitely not good because it doesn't regenerate when done so, for complicating ecological reasons. It is the regeneration stage of forestation which is remarkably good at capturing CO2. Logging could be d

The Pi4 does not need a fan. There is a grand total of 10 watts of heat to dissipate, 15 watts max supply but that includes power sent to peripherals and wifi. A matchbox sized heatspreader which just touches each of the warm components wil

Those bits and pieces are bodge-able. Have extra kudos for making do. Make a case out of recycled packaging materials or wood or mesh or whatever. Take a heatsink and little fan off an obsolete graphics card - cut it down to fit if necessar

Me too, thanks for regarding. On second look, it's a better article than I deserved to hit on - just quickly plucked from WSU since i've been impressed there before :)

I watched the explanation of the chart and it is still ambiguous both what it is, and its purpose. That narrator explains: "Rejected energy is the portion of energy that goes into a process and comes out generally as waste heat "

Rejection is an action - whatever it means in that graphic its not a thermodynamic factor. My bet is the figures shown relate to capacity factor, they have no connection to what they have been presented as - a potentially reclaimable amount

Be as skeptical as you wish, but that is all very orthogonal to my requests to substantiate claims here that the biomarker examined is unreliably interpreted. They have not been substantiated. Discussion of what qualifies as "anti-ag

I'm questioning the idea that this particular biomarker - doesn't actually mark what the report claims it marks (mitochondrial bio-genesis). How do we often test for diabetes.. cancers.. many many clinical conditions? Biomarkers

However at the same time, the gut is so confoundingly complicated that substances in concentrated tablet form are often less readily absorbed than less concentrated amounts occurring in food.

Your statement reads as though the research tested lower doses and 500mg was the lowest which "saw any effects". Is this accurate?

Is the article wrong in stating "UA stimulates mitochondrial biogenesis". Did the measurements of acylcarnitine levels not actually show this? Have any other substances been found to affect acylcarnitine levels or stimulate mitoch

What particular anti-aging effects do you regard? Are not improvements in mitochondrial health practical indicators of anti-aging as improvements in skin elasticity or bone strength?

That seems overly dismissive of the finding on mitochondrial activity: " The team then assessed the efficacy of UA by looking at cellular and mitochondrial health biomarkers in the participants' blood and muscle tissue. The result
