Excellent, thankyou! I was just going to throw ubuntu at it unless I really needed something else because of the potato specs, so hopefully drivers are already sorted.
especially the WiFi/Bluetooth chipset
Noted. I would be pissed to not have that working.
Don’t try anything fancy
No chance, I've been burnt by my unix arrogance enough times to not want to try it on proprietary hardware. Until now I assumed even getting Linux on there was too fancy, I still remember other people fighting for weeks with their hackintosh a decade ago.
Thanks, I appreciate it! I'm happy for a dual boot and for no camera, so here's hoping for the rest.
I got it from the quote in the article from the author of the NEJM paper. You're correct, but this seems to also happen in maybe 2% of people, and there's a good chance 145C is only needed to be absolutely certain all sugars have 100% broken down. Hotpots might still get rid of most of it at 100C. I'm not a polysaccharine decomposition expert though, even though I know they're very heat-sensitive.
If you're really worried (which you probably don't need to be given it's rarity), mushrooms can't really be overcooked (unless you literally burn them), so nuking them in the microwave with a thin coat of oil or frying them off will help get them to temp if you want to be really certain.
Second source from non-paywalled:
It affects about 2% of people that consume the mushrooms raw or only lightly cooked... in people of all ages, ... more often male than female.
...shiitake dermatitis is not seen with the ingestion of thoroughly cooked at a temperature 145 C.
Shiitake flagellate dermatitis
If she hadn't posted scanned copies of documents with the Attorney General's full address, then it could have been entirely ignored. Even the possible libel might have passed by unnoticed.
Saved you a click:
The article he shared was by Laura Loomer on substack and claimed the AG had a connection to Christian J. French, who is COO of "anti-Trump" ‘Regional News Network.’ and posted a New York City Buildings violation document and a loan modification form with the AG's home address on it. Daily Beast took this from Meidas Touch, who may have taken it from elsewhere, who knows.
Fuck daily beast's copy pasted speculation as a vehicle for ads posing as news. There is no news from the courts themselves.
Poor bastard must have been itchy as fuck. Sadly the article on a shitty ad infested site is also padded out for word count. So here is the important parts. Hand-summarised, unlike the AI-assisted article:
- A 72-year-old man presented with a 2-day history of an itchy, linear rash across his back. Two days before symptom onset, he had prepared and eaten a meal containing shiitake mushrooms. - Paywalled report from New England Journal of Medicine
- Caused by the carbohydrate lentinan which triggers the release of interleukin-1 (and other chemicals), which causes cause inflammation.
- The rash develops usually 2-3 days after eating undercooked shiitake.
- Lentinan is broken down when thoroughly cooked at temperatures over 145° C / 293° F
Because fuck shitty pop-science padded journalism and their marketing strategies and hostile UX, and fuck the NEJM too for paywalling medical research.
I have a late 2011 that I might be interested in doing this to. Any practical advice on avoiding your suffering?
"October 2023 Debacle" read a headline in top-selling daily Yedioth Ahronoth, ... recall[ing] Israel’s failure to anticipate a twin Egyptian and Syrian offensive in October 1973...
I wasn't sure about the significance of this paragraph, or who Yedioth Ahronoth even were, so I looked them up. Maybe someone else will find the information useful too:
- daily newspaper from Tel Aviv.
- Founded 1939, when Tel Aviv was in British Mandatory Palestine.
- Israel's largest paid newspaper by sales and circulation.
- tabloid format
- Owned by Yedioth Ahronoth Group
Founder(s): Gershom Komarov
Publisher: Arnon Mozes
Editor: Neta Livne - Circulation: 300,000 weekdays, 600,000 weekends
- according to one author, its marketing strategy emphasizes "drama and human interest over sophisticated analysis."
- In 2017 it was revealed that Netanyahu had 3 meetings with the chairman/editor, where Netanyahu said he could limit a competitor's distribution in return for more favorable coverage. This led to the opening of "Case 2000", one of the ongoing corruption investigations against Netanyahu.
- 6 to 25 October 1973, between Israel and a coalition of Arab states led by Egypt and Syria.
- Majority of combat in the Sinai Peninsula and the Golan Heights — both of which had been occupied by Israel in 1967
- Arab coalition launched a surprise attack against Israel on Yom Kippur / 10th day of Ramadan
- United States and Soviet Union initiated resupply efforts which led to confrontation
- Israel repelled Egyptian & Syrian forces and then launched counter-offensive into Suez City, Egypt and edges of Damascus, Syria.
- second ceasefire end of october
- afterwards in 1978, Israel returned Sinai Peninsula to Egypt
- 1979 Egyptian–Israeli peace treaty was first time an Arab country recognized Israel as a legitimate state.
Also this part of the article really frustrated me:
Military planners say the Gaza war, whose stated goal is Hamas' annihilation, could last months.
Just months? I guess even millenia are still measurable in months even if nobody calls their 9-year-old child "108 months old".
unnatural
milk fat substitutes, calcium chloride and many other bad things
Just because this comment can be easily misinterpreted:
- Milk fat substitutes are just plant oils.
- Calcium chloride is what they inject into you if you have a severe calcium deficiency. It's just calcium salt. Your regular table salt is Sodium chloride. Nigari is magnesium chloride used to make tofu. All three are salts that can be extracted from normal seawater.
Both plant fats and CaCl2 are natural, neither of them are "bad" (when, like everything, they're consumed in sensible amounts) and they should not be lumped in with "other bad things", even if you don't like those ingredients in your cheese.
Possibly the starter lactic acid bacterial culture, lactobacillus helveticus. It's known for giving cheeses a slight sweetness. Honey has a bunch of different acids in it, composition differs by source, but there's a good chance that's what the flavor similarity you're noticing is.
housing, agriculture, education, and infrastructure.
Those are not science-free topics.
If I lived there
Purely out of my own curiosity, have you been to or lived in Argentina or have relatives who live/lived there?
I guess that's sort of the problem here, I want to but this is not my area of expertise and it happened in my country too long ago for me to tell you much first or second-hand about specific events. Wikipedia is already a far better source for social context info on the events than most people will ever be, because for most places it was so long ago. That's why I think it's important to directly ask the historians / data analysts of the other countries, and the experts in comparative global health policy exactly the same question.
You have asked a really good question and you need good answers from people who really know the topic well.
It was because I used the search term "us israel treaty" and it came up with tax treaty results, when apparently it's called a "bilateral defense cooperation agreement" or "Strategic Partnership Joint Declaration". I apologise for not being fully informed on the differences between those concepts beforehand, and not knowing that the word 'treaty' would not be applicable in a situation where the word 'treaty' was being used to describe it.
too lazy/dumb
Thanks for also reminding me that I shouldn't ask questions unless 100% healthy.
What are the steps / methods most likely to get us there?
The steps others have already successfully taken in other countries. Even when the contexts are different, there is often something to be learnt by looking at previous battles.
Some starting points:
- Brief universal healthcare history overview. I think it's also interesting to see that most countries started picking up adoption after WW2.
- I think it's also worthwhile looking to the people who have been watching the topic for a very long time, like the UN's International Labor Organization who will have a more in depth understanding of the issues and problems.
There are other sources of data in this international comparison but I think ultimately it's about looking at this graph and figuring out what the biggest policy differences are: Health System Comparison OECD life expectancy vs cost
I doubt the pentagon made this decision ignoring the wider context and long-term motivations of all parties involved, and I think it would be a mistake to reduce any conflict in the world to such a simple equation.
Also, does Israel have a defence treaty with the US? This is a genuine question. I was under the impression there was only a tax treaty, and Israel isn't a member of NATO either, which I thought would exclude that.
Thyme or Oregano. Can't go wrong with traditional Greek flavours?
in non-combatant roles only (for now)
Consultancy roles are a shield for providing strategic support and direction without visibly endangering your own troops and engaging in unambiguously direct acts of war. Providing existing allies with resources is not a free service either, even if it only costs "you owe us one" future diplomatic and economic pressure. The US did not get to where it is through altruism.
Yesterday: Biden warns Israel that occupying the Gaza strip is a big mistake (strategically)
Today: US puts troops on standby in Israel.
Well, I guess we now know what the US thinks is a better plan. And it appears to be basically the standard US plan of placing military units all across the map.
Sometimes I wonder if the US will ever have a Roman-style "we extended our borders too far to adequately defend the empire" tipping point.
It might be a smell thing. My friend has 2 cats, litter-mates, and they would do the same damn thing every time one came back from the vet. It would settle down after a few days when the smell dissipated. She used to have to take them both to the vet even if only one needed to go. It's called non-recognition aggression.
Then the vet changed their brand of disinfectant and it never happened again so they never got to try the following advice the vet gave them:
What you can try is de-outside-smelling your escapee by giving them a damp-cloth bath and then rubbing them all over with your worn clothes to reapply your smell.
Also, maybe stinking up your aggressive little idiot by leaving the same clothes with outside smells around them. Pick the clothes your aggressive cat loves to snuggle the most if they're that type of cat. If you can mix up their smells enough, it will hopefully break the association of "smell = the other cat" and your aggressive one will begin to recognise the escape artist again.
Just going to leave this link here for anyone who might feel similarly:
Fundraiser for Kenya's National Gay and Lesbian Human Rights Commission Brunch who provide legal services and LGBTQ+ advocacy in Kenya. Their main site where i got the fundraiser link
They exceeded their goal of KES 700k (US $4675 / 4426€), but you can still donate. When the exchange rate is KES 150 = US $1, and the average monthly salary for a lawyer is KES 103k / US $683 / 650€, you can see that even a few dollars or euro could make a huge difference.
I have no affiliation, I just donated. I appreciate this is not an option for everyone though.
