New studies indicate that adults should not have more than two servings of dairy products per day.

Dairy is best avoided altogether.

It's the most common allergen. Even in smallest amounts it's inflammatory even in those without obvious IgE allergy (tests for allergies are notoriously imprecise, even things like RAST and in-vitro lymphocyte stimulation).


There's emerging evidence that consumption of Neu5Gc, a sialic acid that coats non-human mammalian proteins, is a cause of chronic inflammation in humans:

very interesting. how did you come by this?


MedCram is the best source of medical information on YouTube intended for a med school level audience. All of their videos are superb. I watch all their videos :)


I have a HomeKit power plug that is able to measure the power usage. It sits before most of my living room devices including:

2x OG HomePods (Standby) - 55" Philips OLED (Standby) - Hue Bridge 2. Gen (Running) - ATV 4K 1.Gen (Standby) - Netatmo Weather Station (Running) - Linksys MR8300 OpenWrt 21.02 (Running) - Home Server (i5-6600, 16GB DDR3, 2x 256GB 850 EVO, 1Gb USB3 Ethernet Adapter as second NIC, Running)

Reading with all devices combined is 35-40W.


On my last flight with JAL from Japan to Europe they served a MOS Burger themed building set. It was quiet funny to watch the whole plane trying to assemble their burgers.


It keeps passengers busy. I think that's the whole point of the meals - all the fidgety things to deal with.


I was too young to see the original release in a movie theater and was all the more exited to catch up on this when the Final Cut was released. Truly a remarkable and timeless piece of cinema. The 4K Dolby Atmos/Vision version is also highly recommendable if you've never seen this gem.


I just want to thank you for sharing your story and for me it's really a wholesome one. Best of luck to you on your further ways.


Wouldn't it be possible that the wife looked up the flag topic on Google after the discussion and that it got mixed up as both devices shared the same (external) IP during that time? And because of that you got this suggestion? Just playing devils advocate here.


That is completely possible, and I did ask her. She, and the kids, say that they hadn't.

And honestly, I don't think that they had anyway. Maybe one of the kids will take an interest in dad's boring facts about the world at dinner, but the wife has long since stopped even listening!


That baffles me sometimes. A lot of people see some features that they think of as gimmicky on their own. But then all of the sudden Apple releases something new that utilizes all those little features and combines them to something groundbreaking.


That and an option to permanently opt out of their curation of my timeline. I just want to see the content of people I actually follow in a chronological fashion.

At the moment I‘am quiet happy using Tweetbot but most 3rd party clients are hampered due to API restrictions on Twitters side.


I also use Tweetbot, and am experiencing very little of what everybody else is complaining about. I see only my timeline, and I use lists to make sure I don't miss anything from certain people I follow.

Tweetbot has had mute longer than Twitter has, and some, um, acquaintances I follow I've had muted for years. And I mute keywords if something is getting way too much play, like the electric F-150.

Will I pay Twitter $3/month? Sure, since I'd like to pay for what I use, just like I subscribe to the latest Tweetbot client. Will I use the Twitter client to get the benefits of Twitter Blue? Probably not.


one way to force chronological is to add everyone you follow to a private list.

even on official clients, it's always chronological and no ads -- but it's not perfect.


All you have to do for that is to use Tweetdeck.


I use Tweetdeck extensively on macOS but on mobile even as a web app it just isn‘t nearly as polished as a native app like Tweetbot.


Fish sauce really is a gift of the gods and it saddens me that this pinnacle of flavour is nearly lost in the western world.


People see fish sauce and are shocked but Worcestershire sauce is a fish sauce.


I had to look up the ingredients[1]: Anchovies, Tamarind paste and Beer among others.

Personally, I'm holding out until scientists finally isolate the ingredients of Bestchestershire sauce.


Worcestershire sauce is delicious too but to be fair there are a lot of variants that omit the fish part.


Lea and Perrins definitely used fermented fish:

Sure, in the sense that Caesar dressing is a fish sauce. The parts of Worcestershire sauce that you can taste are the vinegar and sugar.


Maybe I'm just too "in it" from having eaten Thai fish-sauce almost every day for many many years, but I'm not convinced that fish sauce tastes of fish any more than soy sauce tastes of soy or red wine vinegar tastes of red wine. It tastes of salt and umami and ... tastes like fish sauce.


I think you’re “in it”. I had a partner that loved fish sauce and insisted it didn’t taste “fishy”, but to me, who didn’t grow up with it and generally dislikes “fish” taste, it tastes extremely fishy.


IMO, fish sauce (and I'm picturing the red boat one my wife buys) is like manna from heaven when there's just a hint of it. Too much, and it starts to taste a little...poopy.


I use fish sauce in small amounts to make fried rice. (Also present, in large amounts: oil, soy sauce, garlic.)

It has no flavor that I can particularly detect at the end of the process. The smell when you open the bottle is overwhelming, and terrible. I wouldn't venture to sample it directly.


Well you could always crack open a can of anchovies to augment the sauce. It's not as though anchovies are lost to time.


Not yet anyway...


I’ve started making Caesar dressing from scratch when I want it, and the anchovies can really shine when you do it yourself.


On the flipside, I’m an otherwise adventurous eater but I simply can’t stand the taste of fish sauce.

It’s why I now mostly avoid Thai food as a whole, the fish sauce is nauseating and overpowering.


It is still used in Italian cuisine - colatura di alici.


Southern US recipes add it to a lot of stuff.


I see it used in recipes in the west often.

I'm making a pork recipe tomorrow that uses it.


1. Who decides what is a "fringe" theory? You? The Government? The scientific community? Facebook/Twitter etc...?

2. ..Fringe opinions should have to work harder to get to the mainstream... No they shouldn't it is you the reader of those news who should make the decision of how much "brain time" this "fringe" news get.

3. Denying airtime to certain topics doesn't make them go away or sways people that believe them otherwise.


Well, since you asked if I should decide what a fringe theory is, yes, sometimes I do make that decision. But when I'm wrong those things have a habit of breaking through. I remember being pretty skeptical of intermittent fasting for awhile. I'd held it out of a study we did in 2014 and then held it out of our publishing. Something about it smelled like anorexia light. So on the one hand I kept hearing people swear by it and then on the other hand I hadn't done enough research to be comfortable. I ended up having a detailed conversation with a doctor about the physiological side and then with a therapist about eating disorders (especially in men) before I was ready to allow it into our work. So for about a year I was wrongly gatekeeping on this topic. But that's what I mean about fringe ideas need to work harder. The fringes is where those ideas get stress tested and refined. And since ideas break out of the fringes all the time, I don't have any real fear that gatekeeping other places is overly oppressive.
