If thou gazest long into the Pit, the Pit will also gaze into thee

I see Cardinal Pell has been acquitted of all charges by the unanimous judgement of an Australian appeal court, after spending a year in solitary confinement at a maximum security prison. It looked like the whole thing was dodgy after reading this Qillette article . The Victorian police and DPP hav...

It’s possible nothing has happened other than a service provider deleting log files. Or something. I’d like some proof of proactive life before celebrating.

Well we are two peas in a pod now. I hope that at least brings you joy.

I have a non refundable trip organised to UK at Easter. To say I’m worried and posed off is an understatement.

Characterising Dr Mason in general, and this video in particular, as “ ... fairly standard lipid hypothesis contrarian video” is, well let’s just say “odd”.

The topic is all very interesting and not what I heard a year ago from the doctor. He looked at a single cholesterol reading without breakdown and without further discussion wrote out a prescription.

Young Turk Grand Poobah fails miserably in attempted coup.

Lesson over. Not quite. Size matters, after all. We all know that oil and water don't mix, so how to transport fat in an aqueous medium, ie blood? Bind the cholesterol to a protein that is hydrophilic, making a lipoprotein. The resulting combination molecules can be large (HDL), small (LDL) and tin...

Finally. The standard low carb canon says: Simple carbs in general, and fructose in particular (due to how it’s metabolised), will increase LDL-B. Vegetable oil, high in omega 6, will raise your inflammation levels. Combined you facilitate CVD. Saturated fat will raise HDL and LDL-A, but these are n...

You’re not wrong. There’s formal and informal spirit of place.

Hey Marcus.

I survived your lack of input and contributed.

There is a new push by Abo activists to change the national anthem’s wording. It includes “for we are young and free” Get it. A ‘young’ nation. Denying the spirit of Wakanda.

You probably don’t really need more than say 6700-7500 kJ a day. This can be comfortably delivered with two fairly substantial whole food meals and no snacks.

RIP Holden, eh Brivo? It’s been a death of thousand cuts. I think Holden went GM in the 1930s. Then the bottom fell out of the big car market in the 2000s with the take-up of SUVs.

Riveting stuff.

After reading up I tried to summarise IR and eventual T2D into Brive-speak. Less technical but is it accurate? So insulin normally tells cells to ‘open’ and accept necessary energy/cell fuel from blood glucose. But, the onset of insulin resistance makes the cells resistant to insulin’s efforts and ...
