OK, so much for that theory because I went ahead and searched the full text for wine and got this:

Mosquitoes showed a clear preference for the well-hydrated, on hops and grapes, that is. Arm landings were significantly higher in beer drinkers compared to those who had nobly abstained for at least 12 hours (FC 1.44, 95% CI 1.20-1.74, PFDR < 0.001, Figure 3C). Mosquitoes seemed to have a taste for wine drinkers too (FC 1.39, 95% CI 1.02-1.88, P = 0.035), but this effect sobered up after correcting for multiple testing (PFDR = 0.103). Measured blood alcohol concentration ranged from to 1.82â and positively correlated with the self-reported consumed number of beers (Spear-man rho = 0.46, P < 0.001) and glasses of wine (Spearman rho = 0.12, P = 0.011). No statistically significant effect of alcohol concentration was observed on mosquito attraction when included as a continuous variable (FC 1.04, PFDR = 0.853) nor as a binned variable using the concentration of approximately two units as a threshold (< 0.5â versus 0.5â, FC 1.21, PFDR = 0.344). Individuals reported to have smoked cannabis in the past 48 hours were more attractive to mosquitoes than individuals that did not smoke cannabis (FC 1.35, 95% CI 1.09-1.66, PFDR = 0.017, Figure 3D). Cannabis was the only substance for which an effect on mosquito arm-landings was found, the effects of other substances were statistically not significant (all PFDR > 0.569). There was no indication that the presence of a cannabis user made mosquitoes fly at higher altitudes or made them less aggressive.

Now I'm on to a new idea. Since hops and cannabis are related, there may be some aromatic compound common to both of them.

The drug companies didn't invent dementia. Alzheimer's was described in1906 and named in 1910, but there was a broad understanding before of older people going in to mental decline--even in ancient times. There's always going to be a leading cause of death. Increased health will lead to increased life spans and reveal new problems. That's what happened with senile dementia. More old people, so more people get it. Those same doctors and drug companies are working on cures and treatments ad yes treatments are more likely to come before cures. Take HIV for example. I'm pretty sure the people maintained at undetectable levels, leading near normal life spans are happier than when they got full-blown AIDS and it was a death sentence. Yes. There's still no cure and the drugs cost money; but they haven't stopped work on a cure. Any researcher in the field would be absolutely THRILLED beyond belief to have their name attached to that, or a cure for Alzheimer's. It's just that it's a really hard thing to do.

Yes. Alcohol. It's on their breath, and insects are attracted to it in general. Googling around, that includes mosquitos but I've heard of people using it to attract wasps and kill them even though it's probably counter-productive since you're attracting the very thing you don't want and the outdoors have a very large supply that your bug zapper or dish of beer is not going to exhaust.

I have a Powershot A640 I bought in '06 or '07. I don't recall. It kind of sucks in low light and lacks image stabilization. Otherwise I'm pretty happy with it. It isn't broken, so it hasn't been replaced. 10 MP is fine for me. I'm not a pro so I don't need more. I heard some of these cameras might be considered "vintage" now, but the last time I checked mine's not worth much so I just use it for its intended purpose. The case I used to attach to my belt wore out before the camera, so now I toss it in my daypack like a trooper and it's still not broken.

We all know it when we see it. Grinding is processing. The nixtimalization process for corn is processing and it's GOOD, because without it you don't get enough nutrients. American Indians did it. You could do it in your own kitchen if you had to. You saute, puree, grind, and mix all the time in a home kitchen. These are processes, but they're not ultra-processing.

You know what I've never heard of anybody doing at home? Hydrogenating. Partially or fully, nobody does that shit in their kitchen. So. First item on the list: hydrogenated oils.

You might buy something like Crisco which is hydrogenated oil, but you'd never make it yourself so yes, even a tub of that "ingredient" is an ultra-processed food as far as I'm concerned. Anything that contains it is ultra-processed, so you can make ultra-processed food in your kitchen by using that as an ingredient; but you didn't make it yourself from normally processed ingredients. Pressing the oil from a seed is normal processing. It may or may not be good; but it's closer to the original healthy ingredient as opposed to something that's ultra-processed.

This is how it's going to go with the list in general--there will be debates about what should and shouldn't be on it; but there should be guidelines about how the decisions are made. Whether or not it's a common process from raw ingredients, normally done in home kitchens is a pretty good guideline to start with.

I think the point about them being a kind of "gateway drug" to infotainment screens is valid though. If the cameras weren't required, would modern cars have infotainment screens as much as they do? I recently drove a rental car with backup camera and found it more annoying than anything since I've been driving for decades now without one. Neither my current ride nor the rental were a big SUV/truck though. Some of those don't just need backup cameras. They probably ought to have hood cameras. A kid or even a short adult can walk in front of some of these trucks and not be seen.

Duh. Was going for Funny mod.

No. China is nothing like Hamas, because it's strong and doesn't need to engage in asymmetric warfare. China doesn't put its children in harm's way and spend 10 years provoking its neighbors and using the response to gain sympathy at universities and on new media.

China isn't like Israel either. It doesn't squander its goodwill frivolously. It doesn't fall in to traps set by the likes of Hamas, and if it's going to make a move that anybody might describe as "genocide", it makes clear that it doesn't care what we think while simultaneously finding ways to keep it out of the media just in case it does matter what people think. Does anybody even know what I'm referring to, and if you do have you seen a story about it in the last six months? That's how good they are.

If I were them, I would not want to advertise the fact that I have more land than most people think.

It's going to commit suicide for the good of humanity, but not before buying popcorn futures as a tribute to its creators.

My crow softly says voice willy merge as primary input for... next. IT LOOKS LIKE YOU ARE TRYING TO CODE. I'll open Power Hell editor for you.

Making this a generational war isn't going to help. It deflects from the real culprits: The financial industry and the colleges themselves. The incentive for the finance biz was obvious. It's another payment stream, and they got the cherry on top of it not being discharged in bankruptcy. The incentive for colleges is that when education is financed, it now makes it possible for them to raise tuition and other expenses. When you pay out of pocket, you're cost conscious. When something is financed, you're tempted to price it according to whatever payment you think you can afford in the future. Even if you don't, other people do and that will allow prices to rise. You're a price-taker in the market. You have no choice, except to turn away or maybe go with something cheaper and perhaps less prestigious; but that's going up too because everything is financed.

So it's not inter-generational conflict. That's deflection, and before some young socialist yells "class war!" that's not it either. Everybody is greedy. Socialism is just an alternative marketing plan developed by another bunch of suits, with an aim of going straight for power and relying less on money to get there.

So what's the answer? Rooting out corruption and greed, without regard for the cynical fronts of "generational war" or "class war", or whatever "war" is being pitched to accrue power to yet another bad actor.

People are grasping at how O2 could be liberated from molecules, and photosynthesis is the only known way. What if the O2 were not liberated? What if it were always there but the other molecules were reduced?. This line of thinking got me to aerotolerant anaerobes as a possible mechanism for creating such deposits.

The list of requirements is: 1. A bunch of these guys trapped down there with your typical N2+O2+trace gas atmosphere typical of Earth, or perhaps some other O2 rich atmosphere that existed earlier in Earth's history. 2. They thrive down there, and all their competition dies off. 3. They're not just a little aerotolerant, but *very* aerotolerant, evolving to the point where they could survive until they run out of the other elements they need and of course 4. None of the other things down there react strongly with O2, and sedimentary rock layers trap that environment until now, when they crack and release the gas.

It's a lot of coincidences and takes time, but not more than the coincidence and time for life to evolve in the first place.

Remember when you could just arbitrarily change your colors? I seem to recall that if you did it in Windows (or perhaps some other popular Windows software) there would be a warning if you attempted to choose a setting with insufficient contrast.

How did we get from there to companies announcing a 2nd color scheme as if it were some kind of achievement?

Also, POKE 53280,0 and maybe POKE 53281,0. One or the other was border and screen color on a C-64, and 0 was black. So literally, what we could do with a couple BASIC commands in the 80s is some great new feature?

For these reasons, the phrase "dark mode" is rather triggering for me.

I think our high school did a surprisingly good job of this back in the 80s. We had NEC 8-bit computers and yes we coded on them; but a lot of the course was off-machine instruction that talked about algorithms. I especially remember a video we watched about sorting which outlined a number of sorting algorithems. At the end it compared them in real time using a simple graphic. Then we coded up bubble sort and quick sort on the NEC. Funny thing about that--bubble sort completed in a reasonable time, but we had a devil of a time getting quicksort to work and never figured out why. I look back on that and wonder if there was some overhead for our pathetically small value of N that would be irrelevant on modern hardware, if needed instructions were painfully slow on the NEC, or if us noobs just screwed the pooch on a more complicated algorithm. In any event, it was a lesson in how what's theoretically faster might not always work out for you. If I were on deadline and only had a NEC with a small amount of data, bubble sort might be the way to go!
