This will be great for going around roundabouts, tracks and imitating acrobatic aircraft smoke trails on the ground.

Not much detail on the actual condition other than its a mitochondrial disease. There's lots of things that can cause that, so the news article doesnt really serve much purpose other than to tell us, that the NHS has no solution and its going to court.

I know doctors can be restricted by NHS trusts, they can also be possessive, defensive if their experimental theory's and treatments are under the spotlight and their tests are often but mere jigsaws pieces to a big picture, so a lot of theorising, testing and elimination needs to be done.

The fact she's on a ventilation would suggest iron and manganese is involved, there 1000-2000 mitochondria in each liver cell, and just one mitochondria in other cells. As we are complex chemical reactions, identifying the problem is often half the problem in unusual cases. Is it a membrane issue which would involve vit E's (tocopherols and tocotrienols), or a zinc/cysteine/choline issue? And those are just the more commonly known chemicals involved.

Its a shame more details are not public.

Parents keeping the details of household bills from me enabled them to castigate about pretty much anything, from leaving a light on for more than a few minutes, to suggesting I had worms because of the amount of food I ate and I was far from obese.

Once forced to move out in my twenties, I found it wasnt that expensive, I could eat well, do things and the anxiety I had with not being able to pay bills was unfounded.

I think businesses could help youngsters gain their independence by just being more upfront over the costs they are likely to see, if they move into a property, etc etc.

With hindsight I should have moved out earlier because the parents did get alot of unpaid help from me by me still living at home, which is part of that one way older generational exploitation thats normalised in society.

This YT video from 2019 seems like a good explainer.

It does attract some good DJ's though, I mean a $3-8m 70KW moving sound system/dance floor seems pretty awesome, aka the Mayan Warrior.

I've not done that personally, but I'd have a look on the freeswitch forums to see if someone on there has already done it.

I have had the free 3CX sip client on an android mobile, using a UDP vpn back to a freeswitch server which was connected to the UK phone system. Proof of concept thing.

Because of the nature of the mobile data, which is like bursts of data, it made it hard to have a conversation even around midnight and 1am when cell traffic volumes are low.

I was told UK Telco's give voice data priority as this needs to be realtime and then other data has lower levels of priority making it hard to have a reliable stream of data.

FYI, 56K is the minimum standard for voice calls, although with 4G and beyond, its possible to hear the higher bitrate protocols being used on the main mobile networks, as its not so muffled, like someone turning up the high end frequency's on a graphic equaliser, and they are fully down with the 56k protocols.

I dont know what the minimum video protocol bitrate would be, but I did find this which might be useful. > H.264 will only consume around 10 kbps with around 2 fps in 176x144.

When Skype first came out, it was peer to peer, so as a proof of concept to test the new 3G network I did manage to maintain a voice call for an hour which was impressive, but also shows that mobile networks can maintain the mobile data streams if its not encrypted inside a VPN in the UK.

> Is Silicon Valley plunging humanity into misery?

Well if you think of streaming services and the video/DVD rental store, popping around a mates house with a takeaway and video/dvd to chill out for the evening, to cheer them up, or just to get out of the house.

That ritual has gone for ever, which is miserable.

You'll have about 250k people at Glastonbury, but there is alot to do at Glastonbury having been a few times, so 70k sounds rather cosy, which seems so unusual for the US which normally does things bigger and better.

Going to Burning Man is something on my bucket list, which is why your comment surprised me, how can you say its peaked?

This is the back up or change in building activity for when the housing market finally crashes.

RAAC is concrete sponge, its got air holes in, a fad or trendy building material for use after WW2, problem is no one knew how well it would last. So far Roman Concrete is still currently the longest lasting concrete on the planet and superior in so many ways.

Studies in the 1990's highlighted a problem, but its been largely ignored or kept quiet, and nobody kept records of what buildings are made of, like many properties in the UK.

So fast forward to a few years back, problems started to be noted with crumbling, still a game of pass the parcel and now the music has stopped and its become a problem, just in time for the housing market crash.

I guess one of the attractions for its use was low costs and pumping air into something probably helped reduce the need for so much concrete, when thinking of food rationing that was still in place after the end of WW2 and various countries who took part are getting back up off their knees.

What doesnt make sense is the role the kidneys are not playing in a high sodium diet.

Sure there is the sodium potassium pump in cells, but what are the kidneys doing as they should be clearing the sodium, maintaining the balance.

I was going to suggest running a cable, and like you say, fibre would be better than a CAT cable, especially if drilling holes are required.

I had to rerun all our cables after the company that did the trunking in the wall used a cheap CAT cable which was picking up interference from the mains power cables in the wall.

Why would you have slavery back and no separation of the church and state?

If the Christian Church can recognise it needed a New Testament, then why not a new US constitution. I'm sure many of religious followers would accept the need for change and updates, as technology and business in general demonstrates on a daily basis.

Or is the resistance to change simply demonstrating peoples needs or desires to live in some rose tinted past of human history, that has white washed the abominations of the past?

If it does, should these people be making decisions for lots of people?

I'm not sayings hard to follow, but when you have been shown a very easy way to do a clove hitch, the key being how to hold the rope and your hands, ie the limited movements you have to go through to do a clove hitch, you can do them in your sleep.

We used them as the starter knot before lashing someone down on a stretcher before carrying them out of a disaster zone. It was quite fun, putting the stretcher up on its end or turning it upside down to demonstrate how well protected someone is once lashed to a stretcher.

I like the effort and organisation of the website though, so I'm not knocking it, just pointing out it could be improved with video's that show 1st and 3rd person perspective of hands tying knots. That way, when abseiling, rock climbing or doing other Fred Dibnah style activities, you know if your knots have been tied properly or not.

So much trust is placed on people who run these activities, its nice to have piece of mind, but its probably one of the reasons why the carabiner was invented.

Going for a Pininfarina S.p.A look. Will have to see this in the flesh to form a better opinion.

Surely its just publicly documenting criminal acts for law enforcement purposes when looking at data privacy laws like EU GDPR?

Mind you, when will the legal system admit it non-consensually forces itself onto people from the day one is born? I wonder who does more harm especially as we are supposed to live in a democracy where we can pick and choose our politicians and thus legislators, and yet the state doesn't teach law to people in a tldr way.

The legal system is certainly dictatorial in a fascist dictator way, so does that make law abiding citizens little fascist dictators, who use a mere transgression of the law, to unload their pent up frustration of violence on those around them?

I will say this, the US constitution is so vague, its barely worth repeating let along harping back to for court cases.

Time to update the constitution for the 21st century, unless it should be viewed simply as a tldr in todays modern times?

> they target pretty much everyone, and nothing demonstrates this better that generic, “un-targeted” phishing e-mails.

Had to stop there, this is written like its a given, that there is no way to avoid phishing emails when there is. There's plenty of ways and alot of the criminality is maintained by those who dominate the sector, via standards or solutions.

>either immediately or very soon after they are delivered to their first recipients – detected and blocked by any security solution worth the name

I've always been taught ignorance of the law is no defence of the law, so unwarranted data sharing is ignoring various laws.

"Articles 13 and 14 of the GDPR require you to tell data subjects who you share the personal data with (the recipients or categories of recipients of the personal data)."

The email systems and associated security products, namely anti spam and anti virus software/services are knowingly breaking the law with a recipient that chooses to employ said service to scan their emails.

Everybody on the planet who has an email address and an AS/AV scanner is breaking the law, but I guess hypocrisy can be overlooked even in the best educational establishments, whilst ignoring the ill thought out nature of law in a global world.

>JavaScript loaded from the external domain was not as simple as the rest of the attack (it was heavily obfuscated and "weight in" at 155 kB)

>Proving that the cost of committing cybercrime can be really low.

I'll agree on that.

>One of the things I've learned from teaching knots to Boy & Girl Scouts in the BSA is that you must constantly re-learn them or your skills will founder.

I dont know, the 3 different ways to tie a clove hitch is documented on here, which is good start, but the one that was engrained in me was clove hitch loops, although their animation makes it even harder to understand.

They should have some hands holding the rope showing the 1st and 3rd person perspective position of the rope in the hands and the position of the hands when tying some knots. So much easier to understand.

I really do wonder about the standard of teaching sometimes.

Probably fastest most reliable knot to have that can be slung over a spar end in a hurry.

That bowline knot story was taught in cubs, perhaps useful for young minds, but does it get forgotten in adulthood as a result? I certainly had forgotten that story until you reminded me.

I'll also credit the Red Cross at being best at teaching me knots and lashings.

I had a UFO experience/ride in the space ship as a kid <8yrs old in the middle of nowhere where I lived in the UK.

Very vivid, can describe it in great detail, but having read alot on drug users experiences on erowid experience vault, seen patterns in the different hallucinations based on drug type, and various drugs used in a medical context, I now think my UFO experience/ride in the space ship was some sort of drug induced thing, perhaps a test to get rid of superstition of sorts in individuals and to "install" an extreme logic and scientific rational approach to life.

The sort of thing that might have been some MK Ultra spin off to get voodoo out of peoples lives.

The UFO was not a stereotypical UFO with massively advanced features, but more like a man made object, with controls that you would expect to see in a 1970's BBC Scifi production. And the ride through space was nothing like what space looks like from the ISS webcam, again reinforcing my belief it was some sort of drug induced hypnotic trip of sort.

I would say, treat the AI like a human viewing said data/material, but unlike the majority of humans, most dont have Kim Peek levels of observation and recall, so should there be some sort of expiration of data built into AI's and if so, should it be a blanket cut off date for all data an AI has been exposed to, or allow for some specialisation like a human might have in order to fulfil their occupation?

I'm also aware that search engines have access to data, most humans do not, which gives the search engines an advantage, think accessing ft.com for example, so should AI's have access to data in the context of a search engine or as a human?

Its tough, I want to give AI's full access to see what the tech is truly capable of, but I'm aware this will lead to more global monopolies over and above the existing search engine monopolies allowed to dominate in a country or territory, which will harm smaller AI entities.

Re:Zinc quite likely, but there is no scientific method to identify what is the right amount to take. Thats the catch 22. No one can audit ever cell in the body!

As an example: I can do 250mg of zinc oxide a day and have minimal effect from it whatso ever, I just crave eating chicken and tomatoes. Add 100mg of manganese chloride alongside that intake and then I get an immune system response in the jaw, with aching around the bone where the teeth that have been filled are and the mandible. Ears discharge fluid which would suggest I have some sort of glue ear, ear infection or exposure to swimming pool chlorine. If I reduce those amounts, the ear discharge clears up and the jaw bone aches go, which would lead me to think everything is ok, when clearly its not. At that dose, I have a bit of tenderness in a tendon on each elbow and a little activity around the knees, so maybe its doing some good.

Its certainly not in the tens of mg/kg toxic dose ranges for these chemicals, but well above the rda amounts. However some chemicals have a toxic dose range in the 0.0X mg/kg range, making it highly toxic.

The manganese is normalising my blood sugars which help immune system responses. The doctors had been notified by the opticians a few years ago of possible diabetic implications, but the NHS GP has not been in touch about it, or anything from when I was at hospital for that matter, unless letters are going lost in the post, which isnt the first time that stuff has been done to me. So many criminals in the Royal Mail, it will be good to see their monopoly go.

So are vitamin RDA's high enough, or are just cautiously minimal in order to address the existence of said multi vitamin chemicals whilst not contributing to rude health?

Zinc chloride is an effective Lewis acid catalyst in the Diels–Alder reactions of the keto esters, but do these Diels–Alder reactions exist in the human body?

Oxide + gut hydrochloric acid = chlorine + water which is why I do zinc oxide, but might get some zinc chloride to dilute in deionised water. Dont want to chemically burn any holes in my guts now.

Re the fungus, so Bipolaris can be inhaled from compost bins, it seems a lot of fungus seems to get into the sinus from a variety of locations, and even I've smelt mould when doing manganese and beta alanine for no explicable reason other than it might have been in a sinus but the body hasn't been given the chemicals to respond until now. The manganese has seriously improved my sinuses. It also makes me think, forensic pathologists use these sinuses to work out if someone had snorted any drugs and other things that might contribute to an opinion on the cause of death.

> the fungus makes it way to a non-immunocompromised brain.

Something I'm looking at the moment is the role zinc plays in things like membranes and blood brain barrier.

When looking at how much zinc is used through out the body which combined with one of these, cysteine, histidine, aspartic acid, glutamic acid, with the first two largely involved in structural applications ranging from zinc fingers to organelle stability, cell stability and membrane health, it looks like the RDA is woefully inadequate.

The problem is a blood test wont show zinc status as its so tightly controlled in serum, so if its measured and it shows a problem, its going to be an extreme problem. However if you suffer a head injury, the damaged brain cells will dump zinc straight away into the blood so that the neurons take up glutamate which then become neuro toxic leading to cell death.

For example, if you take vitamin D3 supps, it needs a zinc finger, so taking VitD3 with zinc, is useful other wise you could be wasting your time taking VitD3 if there is simply not enough zinc in the body, which can explain why some people dont respond to vit D3 supps.

If the zinc status is low, there are so many vitamins and minerals that are just not worth doing.

But mega dosing so many vitamins and minerals can create a zinc deficiency, like mega dosing vit A or D, or even nicotinic acid (b3) to compound things.

Its not been unheard of taking a few hundred mg's a day, with documented therapeutic doses at 2grams a day! There is also disputes over whether an increased zinc intake even causes copper deficiency's. Studies are mixed, so typical medical caution is order of the day with regard to high doses of zinc, but that caution can contribute to medical conditions.

The digestive system has no restriction on the uptake of zinc, unlike iron which uses hepcidin, but things like fibre, phytates, tannins, found in vegetables, will all bind to zinc in the gut very easily reducing its effectiveness, and then there is calcium, iron which is known to compete, with phosphate also looking like a similar competitor of zinc.

B6 is recommended for any high intakes of minerals, it can be used to reduce the incidence of sideroblastic anemia and peripheral neuropathy amongst many things.

The Nicotinic Acid form of B3 works with every enzyme in the body via Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide (NAD) and Adenosine triphosphate (ATP).

But as there is no reliable way to measure zinc status, things like an enlarged spleen (splenomegaly), cancer, diabetes, and numerous more disease states and illness could indicate an inadequate zinc status. Put another way, Zinc deficiency is found in so many illnesses including depression.

> > weren't able to properly diagnose until they did a biopsy on his brain.

Did they measure the surrounding tissue around the brain and bone mineral density, to check if the blood brain barrier was intact, and immune response optimal?

If its any consolation, fungi can be sniffed as a smell and end up in the sinuses where they can contribute to mental health issues, but these only show up in autopsy's, and biopsy's!

When zinc acetate at 75mg was used to shorten the common cold, its typically portrayed that it shortened the cold duration by a couple of days and its not really worth taking.

When looking at the studies, the common cold had a typical 8.3day duration but with a total 75mg of zinc acetate spread over a day, reduced it to a 4.5day duration. Take into account the time it takes for the immune cells to respond, with or with out supplement, and that zinc duration could be reduced to under 4 days, even fewer days if there was adequate zinc status before infection, making it much more significant and effective than its currently portrayed!

So, should we be re evaluating our zinc intake to see improvements in health, to avoid situations like this?

Wait till the Indian's start selling trips into space and to the moon.

They are perfectly placed to offer the cheapest tourism to space, whilst also being able to catch up on flight time and space experience. Thats an import which will also generate a lot of income.

Watch this space!

I agree, but at the same time I used to think, let the US rate it first, but overtime I've learnt the US is not always right and when it comes to films, its only the PR red carpet shenanigans that prevent the instant global roll out.

Movie stars cant be in two or more places at once "promoting" their films.

Tom Cruise or any other movie star turning up for a country's premiere is not going to sway me either way, the trailers either look good or not.

Sometimes Rotten Tomatoes may also sway me.

The British press dont sway me.

Comments from strangers in the street who rave on about a film sway me more than the press do!

And this is why Netflix and Apple TV have an advantage at eating into both the Hollywood pie and a country's own terrestrial offerings like Channel 4 or BBC films. Carving out a niche in the middle which is where the money can be found especially considering the low cost of CGI.

Hollywood could do more if it embraced iMax more, for example I've yet to see the latest TopGun:Maverick film, because I want to see it at an iMax theatre for that whole AV in the thick of the action experience.

I have this Blackberry film on my list of films to see though because it looks funny, I want to see how reality has been altered and I dont think some of the tech companies get enough Hollywood treatment considering how pivotal they are or have been in our lives. Tetris is another on my list to see.

Le Man's 66, and Joy are other examples of pivotal things in our lives, even if some of us dont shop on QVC, they still fill in that gap of how did these things come to be, even if not historically 100% accurate, its the sort of history lesson no one else is giving to the masses.

Most history taught at school is just battles and wars, its like the state has an obsession with fighting, so to have Hollywood give us some history is refreshing and I encourage them to do more please.

When my parents moved to a different part of the UK, where the water was calcium rich (very hard water) and we'd previously lived in a soft water location, so around the age of 13. Been downhill ever since.

I've had good results with choline for tackling brain fog.

I've tried choline bitartrate, which is ok short term in not high doses maybe a couple of grams per day at best, but now it just causes bone aches.

AlphaGPC, also ok, but the high phosphate content does you bones no good, kept me very wired and if you want to reduce the time to a heart attack take loads of this.

Lecithin, which is a food ingredient, found in chocolate, seeds like sunflower, and egg yolk.

Its a nice form of the supplement, but again cant take too much of it for too long as a supplement.

Currently looking at Choline Chloride. The chlorides (negatively charged chlorine) seem to be quite useful in the body, so I'm probably going to give that a go at some point.

Obviously egg yolks are good for choline, so plenty of eggs.

Avoid stress in all forms at all costs. If its not right and cant be fixed soon, just walk away from it.

Stress is a massive killer.

I dont have a problem keeping myself occupied, avid reader.

I also had some Testogel during mid 30's, used to slappo a couple doses on the shoulder for recreational purposes when going out on friday nights, not a fan of Bolivian marching powder, and I found testogel to be much better for making me feel good, than anything Columbia can export!

It does wonders for your mental health, but come to think of it, it does help a bit with mental acuity, so that might be something to look at. Here in the UK, the NHS is all messed up, so you'll only get it on private prescription.

I'd recommend Testogel to any bloke over Columbian exports, and it doesnt make you angry either, I think the roid rage is lack of manganese and short intense diabetes which is probably waiting to be discovered by the so called medical experts.

> This offered ample time to set myself up for the day before anyone could interfere with my mood.

So what has really been highlighted is the work environment is wrong, and that time of day to wake is used to get closer to that ideal work environment and to hell with everyone else in the household.

Task lists also crept into this at the bottom, identifying the tasks that are most important. The definition of important will be different though, for some it will be activities that get closer to making money, for others, it activities which keeps the money and avoids having to spend more.

I'm not sold on your idea mainly because for me, to avoid RSI in the wrists, I've found the cheapest wired mice to be the lightest and thus easiest to move around avoiding RSI strain. Since then I've found out an increase in Manganese can help protect the cartilage on the bones and bones in the wrist.

But if you insist.

Identify the companies you want to take on the considerable expense of R&D and manufacturing, and will hand over a slice of their profits to you for just having a brain wave.

Compose and send them a nice letter if you feel generous enough and committed enough to invest in the cost of a stamp, if not send them an email.

Wait and react accordingly.

Do you have a timeout setting?

If you want to have a monopoly on the idea, file a patent, in every country, but beware patents can be expensive to file, and the lawyers defending them can cost even more. Cue Abba's Money Money Money, to help that sink it. ;)

Exactly. I think this is MP's with Empire building aspirations, only they are restricted to a global empire of legislation.

What is why the British and trying to build global empires of sorts?

Did they learn nothing from when they ran large chucks of the planet and the globe was painted pink?

Considering the UK National Air Traffic Systems (NATS) cant even prevent an extra dot or two from crashing their airspace, messing up most of the airlines in the world, not to mention countless passengers, pilots, aircrew and their families, I think Australia is wise to stand back from this challenge.

Personally I think state sex education should explain, the emotional side to sex, instead of just the mechanical properties, but sticking to the mechanics is easy for the cash strapped teachers to explain.

They should also explain how people will use sex to blackmail and manipulate others in a variety of ways. Spooky hackers are big into kink shaming.

There is a lot of cross boarding data sharing, it is after all a global business.

They should also explain how easily life long diseases are spread and the state makes no effort in helping protect people from those infected who choose to lie about the state of their health to others, and women might pass this onto their kids. Condoms do break.

That porn can be a relief which minimises exposure to disease risks, but some forms of porn portrayed can involve participants out of their face on drugs, and the content uploaded will be from people who have not been drug tested. Some porn is documenting self harm and some porn is people who have been trafficked and sometimes drugged against their will.

Social media platforms with unpaid moderators, like Reddit and porn sites where users can upload content can be slow to remove illegal sexual content from the front page of their site, or most popular content web pages, and that this can spark curiosity in people who want to know more about it.

I kind of suspect none of the above will happen though, and I'm sure plenty of people will still be arguing over what algorithms to use in order to safe guard identities.

More forced coercion by the back door.

I'm undertaking the hard task of getting myself removed from all govt systems.

So far I cant have my medical records or identity removed from the NHS systems. If you submit a GDPR request to a GP, you wont be given all records even though its claimed your GP see's everything.

So you have to send multiple GDPR requests to the Hospitals and other places you have been to on the NHS estate over your life time to get your data removed.

Every GP surgery computer system is connected online and is accessible from the internet!

And this also ignores the fact they can lie and claim your data is removed when the law allows every entity to keep data on people for law enforcement purposes.

There is nothing in law to compel any entity to remove data on an individual if its being kept for law enforcement or scientific purposes.

Its a legal slight of hand because it relies on people interpreting the GDPR legislation incorrectly, getting rid of data they have so that the Govt, in particular security services can do WTF they like to people. Nefarious to say the least.

Much rather increase my manganese intake, which maintains blood sugar levels, and slows the pancreas from releasing too much amylase which further increases the blood sugar levels causing the spike.

Chromium to make my muscles sensitive to insulin also helps.
