Reply to Family Dynamics and Doctors' Emotions Drive Useless End-of-Life Care. Surveys repeatedly indicate that nearly all people would rather die peacefully at home, yet painful, long-shot treatments remain common, and efforts to reduce usage have failed by Wagamaga
When my dad was in an ICU for months, the doctor kept telling my mother there was a chance he'd recover. The doctor finally admitted it was hopeless. My mother told him to shut down the life support and "Let God decide." It was time.

Reply to In a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled crossover study 60% of insomnia patients "no longer classified as clinical insomniacs" after just 2-weeks of using medical cannabis oil by BoundariesAreFun
If the Journal of Sleep Research deems this good enough to publish, that's good enough for me. However, until cannabis in all of its forms is completely legalized at the US Federal level, it's not an option.

Ford had a sodium-sulfur battery in the 1970s. It's a very attractive chemistry, but requires high temperatures and even this new approach doesn't provide the life expectancy needed. 1000 cycles in a renewable grid is 3-4 years.

BARF! Not just because it's Pepsi, as I wouldn't mix Coke with milk either. A&W root beer, maybe.

When I lived in rural Oregon, one neighbor had a cow that could and did jump the barbed wire fence repeatedly. But the biggest annoyance was the chocolate brown llama that would get out of its field and stand in the road at night, right in the middle of a S-curve.

My eldest sister had one. I don't know exactly why, as she and her husband only had two kids.

If I lower the temperature any more my wife would move out. And, yes, we are both a bit over-weight.

Interesting, particularly the test with mice resulting in a reaction so quickly.

Reply to Dietary Essential Amino Acid Intake Is Associated with High Muscle Strength in Korean Older Adults — High muscle strength was significantly enhanced with increased total EAA intake from animal sources by Meatrition
Interesting that the increase in strength was only noted in people who got the EAA from animal sources. Equivalent intake from non-animal sources did not translate to higher strength.

Reply to A breakthrough in electric vehicle battery design has enabled a 10-minute charge time for a typical EV battery. The record-breaking combination of a shorter charge time and more energy acquired for longer travel range was announced today by Wagamaga
One of dozens of Level 0 breakthroughs in the last couple years. Works in the lab. Next step: make a usable battery. Then scale to hundreds for prototyping. Eventually, one of these breakthroughs will get to the manufacturing level.

Reply to Flipping tax proposal 'really scary,' says B.C. MLA who bought and sold 3 homes in 4 years by RidePlanet
I wouldn't mind seeing this in the US. When we put our previous house on the market the first five people that looked at it were flippers. Since I had spent a decade repairing and upgrading the place, the only thing they could have done was "update" the kitchen. Which is large and would have cost a small fortune. Ultimately, it sold to two nurses who had been traveling and doing temp work, but decided it was time to settle down and have some kids.

Reply to TIL CO2 bonds with the moisture in your nose creating carbonic acid. That's why it burns when you burp after drinking a soda. by HosWoodWorks
A common mistake for new homebrewers is to take the trap out of the fermenter to "get a good whiff" of their beer. Pure CO2.
