  1. Maybe it won't help materially, but, philosophically, once its conditions are met for tyranny by the sitting government, bearing arms against that government is within the law. The moral position lies on the side of those who uphold the Constitution. Pro-Constitutionalists can have peace of mind knowing they are on the right side of the law. That can give people the inner strength and moral fortitude to meet the moment.
  2. Nobody on the side of democracy and the Constitution has any real recourse to the law anymore. I think the only thing left is the 2A.

    LOL. That was posted by Adam Kinzinger on Bluesky. Here's two more:

  5. Antibiotics wreck my gut behaviour for quite some time after the course. I hate taking them.
  6. I agree. Anyone with great skill in some endeavour has usually put in a lot of time and effort, probably decades, into being where they are. We should admire their perseverance to get where they are, and not dismiss them as likely wrong because we don't personally understand.
  7. No, I didn't, using pasteurised, it was fine. I think the culture soon overwhelms any other strains in there. I wouldn't bother heating with uht.
  8. Yeah, you need to know how the theory will stand up to reality, and that's what engineers are for.
  9. Ok. Right. corrected.
  10. I understood, maybe wrongly, that everything that can be measured has a quantum value, and stuff like individual virtual particles have energy values much lower, such that they cant be measured i.e. sub-quantum. I thought the ZPE was the lowest energy anything can happen, but it doesn't mean the point of no energy at all. E2A
  11. The BBC's famed reporting integrity is a myth now.
  12. Is that because ZPE is sub-quantum in value? Nothing in the sub-quantum domain can normally affect the quantum domain.
  13. Here's more on my post: "Electricity bills are on track to rise an average of 8 percent nationwide by 2030 according to a June analysis from Carnegie Mellon University and North Carolina State University. The culprits? Data centers and cryptocurrency mining. Bills could rise as much as 25 percent in places like Virginia. Science writer Dan Charles explains why electric utilities are adding the cost of data center buildings to their customers' bills while the data companies pay nothing upfront."

  14. Data centres are raising demand in the energy sector and doing backdoor deals to lower the cost to them at the expense of domestic consumers. Also, the domestic consumers are being put on the hook, via their bills, for the new infrastructure needed for the data centres. It is a rapidly emerging political issue there.

  16. OK. It seems part of kefir's definition is that grains are used and it is lacto and alcohol process. the reason why I thought this was because you can get freeze-dried kefir bacteria, which doesn't produce the polysaccharide complex.
  17. That sounds like kefir. When fermentation is done, I run it it through a sieve to remove the kefir grains. That process also mixes the solids with the lower liquid. Yours is the same, it just doesn't have the polysaccharide grains that house the bacteria. Basically, it's non-organic kefir imo.
  18. Trump on Fox News:
  19. Yeah, the Epstein files are following him like a bad smell. There's lots of people, including politicians, intent on not letting the files lose attention.
  20. I meant it has been flagged. I imagine reviewers will be following the paper trail leading from this (or lack of) and seeking depositions.
  21. On a positive note, it shows that peer review works.
  22. Doesn't that mean your gut pals are having a party? It's a gas, Man.
  23. To further reduce lactose, you could look into adding lactase enzyme, which converts it into galactose and glucose, "Lactose-free yoghurts The digestive systems of some people partly or completely lack the lactase enzyme. As a result, lactose is not broken down by the digestive process into simpler types of sugars. These people can consume only very small volumes of ordinary milk without discomfort (this is described in Chapter 11). They can, however, often consume fermented milk, in which the lactose is already partly broken down by bacterial enzymes during fermentation. It is also possible to create completely lactose-free fermented milk by adding a lactase enzyme that hydrolyses the lactose into glucose and galactose. Hydrolysis of yoghurt milk can be performed during the fermentation by the addition of lactase to the fermentation tank. Some lactase enzymes are sensitive to low pH. Their activity decreases as fermentation progresses and the pH drops. What type and dosage of lactase enzyme to use therefore depends on how quickly the starter cultures ferment the milk." https://dairyprocessinghandbook.tetrapak.com/chapter/fermented-milk-products
