They should subscribe to the service of a charging station, which will provide the electricity along with a service charge (profit)? Rather than say, own some storage, and transfer the electricity into the vehicle at night?

And this will be good for the environment, the grid, etc? Small but necessary side effect, the old oil companies can pivot into be charging service providers?

They could pay off the cost of the outlay for that and come out with an asset, rather than line others pockets. Sounds about as good for the environment as centrally produced, heavily packaged, plant-based meat that's then shipped all over the world.

I guess there's a shortage of storage options. How about a backyard molten salt battery that drives a turbine? If they lived somewhere cold, it could also be used for heating.

Wife and I had the Chinese vaccines. We were in a group of about 50 who all got COVID at the same time. All members of this group were vaxed with various brands - we were living in a country that accepted international donations from both the West and the East. Despite a 0% effectiveness agsint infection in our group, we all seemed about as sick as each other. So either they were all roughly equally protective against severe illness or they all didn't work at all. (n=50). Everyone is back to previous state of health now.

Noted. This matches all of my research too.

I switched to a fairly low carbohydrate diet, with unlimited healthy (unprocessed) fats and enough healthy protein (from unprocessed meat, dairy, vege sources). Feeling good on this diet. It was the way that I ate anyway, up until about 35, when I started "being more careful" about the fat in my diet. Which turned out to be a disaster. I had blood sugar swings with crashes to hypoglycemia and was gaining weight. Apparently a symptom of pre-diabetes / metabolic problems.

I tried a fullblown keto diet and it was very hard to adjust but seemed ok and helped teach my body to burn fat without sugar crashes again. But I had to ease into it. Then when I added more exercise it was tough again. Unlike some elite athletes who thrive on keto, it seems. Now I just eat generally low carbs, don't limit (including saturated fats), and get tonnes of exercise. Seems to be ok.

Alright, noted :)

Lol, I bet you are right. A plentiful summer, with full stomachs, abundant wood and not much to do. Let's light a fire! Let's throw some of this spare meat on it. Fuck! That's really good!

So many of the useful drugs were researched with one purpose in mind and a better use was found by accident.

Lol, same here. Good to know that it is an option. I'll stick to fruit and veg.

Oh by the way, here's another vitamin C anecdote: When milk was pasteurized in Europe, some folks developed scurvy, because the process kills the vitamin C, along with the tuberculosis or whatever else might have been in there. (Something pathogenic more likely in crowded urban farming conditions). They must've had a terrible subsistence diet, if they were counting on the vitamin C from milk. I guess that means you don't want to overcook your whale blubber either.

This has been known for 100 years.

V. Stefansson the Finn, went to live with Eskimos and adopted an all meat diet. He noted that the humans ate the fatty meat (often pemmican), and dogs were given the lean meat. Here's an article about it: https://www.atlasobscura.com/a...

When he got back nobody believed it would be possible to subsist on such a diet, so he proved the institutions wrong. It was posited that he would come down with scurvy. He didn't.

(I suspect the body's vit. C needs increase with the amount of sugar consumed)

Nice, i like their culture.

Haha, yes my dogs do this, sometimes.

Get a dog. Eat something that you dog does not find appetizing, like vegetables. Observe the dog starting at you and licking its lips, while you eat. Offer the dog some. Observe the reject what you offer. tldr; The dog knows you are eating. The dog sees you enjoying it. The dog thinks she might enjoy it too.

Well if a credible, peer-reviewed journal like the Lancet says it is so, then . . . .

Having said that, I am optimistic . .

That's not what was being suggested. Phage therapy was an example of Russian biotech innovation, evidence of some credentials in the field.

A classic case.

Not invented here (NIH) is a stance adopted by social, corporate, or institutional cultures that avoids using or buying already existing products, research, standards, or knowledge because of their external origins and costs, such as royalties. Research illustrates a strong bias against ideas from the outside.

That is a good point about the longer incubation period of COVID19 (1 to 12.5 days) vs ~2 days for Influenza.

A tendency towards less virulence is not a given. When it comes to Ebola "whether it is about emergence, short-term or long-term dynamics, virulence can be explained by its particular life cycle that mixes parasitism and parasitoidism (postmortem transmission). Unfortunately, any longterm decrease in virulence is unlikely for West African strains at any time scale, although increasing the safe burial proportion appears to be an optimal response in both the short and long terms."

Ah I see. Thank you @lukasz and @luceth.
