  • I should add, I have gone to having magnesium every day, making magnesium bicarbonate takes about 5 minutes for the reaction between magnesium hydroxide and carbonated water to complete

    Each day I have the amount made from 6mL of milk of magnesia in 400mL soda water, you don’t need do much fizzy water. I suggest you search YouTube for magnesium bicarbonate for more precise recipes



  • I should get esims for my two services when i get the replacement phone, they should be reasonably easy to move between devices, definitely easier to do when away from your sim tool. Once I’ve had some practice with one I’ll decide on a cardless phone

    Doesn’t look like it should be a deal breaker for me

    Looks like I’d have to finally retire my pixel 3 to wifi only though, it doesn’t appear to support esims. Actually nor does my 4G backup phone. This suggests I should only get my minor service on esim, and keep my main number on a card, or buy a more modern backup phone

    That’s odd. Wikipedia says the pixel 3 has esim support. I must have looked wrongly it’s region specific and not in my region

    I just got around to reading your LLM generated version of the page, it’s much better and more fair than the actual one, but the LLM seems unaware of the recent LMHR heart health study

    The first part of that study gave us good evidence that LDL levels in LMHR populations are not related to cardiac calcium, the second part reanalyzed* gave good evidence that high LDL was not related to cardiac calcium progression

    * The second part of the study was a second scan of the LMHR people’s cardiac calcium via angiogram and comparing the results to the same a year before. The first analysis was faulty in that it reported percentage changes only and the raw data wasn’t reported

    That was a problem as levels were very low in both cases, tiny errors made enormous percentages in both directions. They determined that people with plaques got more, which is to be expected — your not going to get the zero plaque counts wrong. You might read a tiny plaque score over way once, and differently the next without accurately detecting a tiny change — consider trying to weigh a steak on a bathroom scale, it won’t work because the signal is so far below the noise

    The redone analysis of the same scans was better designed for not being broken by tiny changes

    The researchers who designed the study won’t be making the same mistake about how results can be released again

    I’m sure they would only venture onto you if they were persuing something that already ran onto you

    You’re big and scary and dangerous to something as small as a dinner plate sized spider, they’re not going to risk walking on megafauna (did you know we are megafauna?)

    Tiny spiders might not have the perspective to recognise that we’re living things, but they crawl on us when we’re awake. Huntsmans keep a distance from us, and think they’re perfectly camouflaged while they stand still, as they are when they’re not on an ivory white wall








  • It’s fair enough to call things different to what that actually are. Vegetables in common language just means the stuff treated as vegetables in the kitchen. Calling all the things that are actually fruit fruit isn’t really useful in the kitchen. I don’t want tomato or pumpkin or cucumber in a fruit salad

    Likewise with berries. Using the scientific names isn’t useful in the kitchen, strawberries, blueberries, blackberries are all used similarly, despite only one of those is technically a berry
