I'm not buying it. 1) The economist isn't what it once was. It's now owned by banks. It's also very much about pushing the current narrative. The Economist will always be in favor of more government, which leads us to 2) The article you linked is propaganda in favor of house arrest and travel restr...

Excess deaths

Interesting table.

Is it portable? Can you bring it to you camping trips?

I am now considering moving to Central Oregon.

Not the same without Rant. That's definitely

Improper use of the definite article, Slav detected.

Guilty. Fuck. Ze fuck.

One of the nicest things to do on the smoker is fish. Whole gutted, stuff the belly with coriander (or any other green stuff) and generously cover with salt on both sides. Doesn't take long, tastes great. I often make it on the barbecue on low heat, but the smoker will obviously make it even better.

I think we had a sous vide thread a few years ago, and at first I was skeptical about it. Soon after I am an absolute convert and the missionary spreading the word! It opens up completely new ways of cooking food. For example, medium rare brisket that is falling apart. You smoke it on the barbecue f...

My comment was more about the utility of self-help books (lack of it). It's fun to read the jackets of self-help books, all reviews given by a bunch of authors of other self-help books. Coming back to the main question - I agree with others. The rules of social behavior have been set millennia ago. ...

There are better ideas in classic literature than in self-help books. It's not really surprising, as the classics stood the test of time, while self-help titles come and go on a monthly basis. Mind you the classics don't tell you "do this and don't do that", and you have to figure out many...

Following a good food diet is essential for health and well-being, and so I'd argue is being thoughtful about how we consume digital media. Don't stop at digital media, any media at all. Music, television, newspapers, magazines, etc. Don't imagine that we aren't influenced deeply by the media and m...

Shape, I bought a smoker. I thought long and hard about the Big Green Egg, but then I flipped the switch on a Traeger cause I ain't no bitch. I'm coming for the title and I wanted you to know. I was thinking about a Traeger for a while, but for me it is too specialized. Green Egg and Sous Vide, on ...

I don't think I have ever seen a better assessment.

By the way, after I hit the "submit" button I got the message "Tried to redirect to potentially insecure url." What's up?

The real reason for the thread is to check if I can actually post. The topic is interesting nevertheless. There is virtually no covid in Australia, and even as the clinician I have not come across a single patient. How are things covid wise in the US of A? I know the stats, more or less, which doesn...

Thanks, Mario. Looks nice.

One of the old school tests for hypothyroidism was taking body temperature immediately after waking up. If it was below 36C it was positive. Curiously, another one was cholesterol. High cholesterol = low thyroid. Obviously there are other causes for elevated lipids. However, in conjunction with the ...

Not sure why you are so vested in trying to prove his innocence. I'm not at all vested in proving his innocence; But I do think there is heavy competition as to the cause of Floyd's death. From what I've seen in real life and from ten years on the jiu jitsu mats*, I'm skeptical about the knee on th...

Good luck and get well. It seems you have a good doctor taking care of you. Check out that book, Stop The Thyroid Madness. It is a good overview of problems related to treating hypothyroid patients. Unlikely to change your treatment, but will give you a very good understanding of this condition. JMO.

I have been taking Armour Thyroid (which is a standardized animal desiccated thyroid tissue) for over 10 years now. Personal opinion - it is better than pure T3 as it is a naturally occurring mixture of thyroid hormones. I also think it is important to treat symptoms, not a blood test. The list of s...

Please add a "Biden's America:" header to your post, OP. Thank you in advance! Now, to the question at hand. If I could wave my hands and change ONE thing about modern America, it would be Citizens United v. FEC decision. To me that was the gravest, most damaging thing that has happened t...
