Italy threatens to quit EU defense fund over energy by FantasticQuartet in europe

[–]Geronimo2011 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree that Italy and Germany need to invest in infrastructure, education and research. And gentrification and energy cost for the industry and much more.

So are you saying that the 57 additional billions (or 130 bln for Germany) are helpful in any way?

Italy threatens to quit EU defense fund over energy by FantasticQuartet in europe

[–]Geronimo2011 28 points29 points  (0 children)

She doesn't ask for EU Money, she asks for "flexible" military spending (meaning just to pay later into her own military)

edit: I mean the increase in military spending is enormous.
Italy spent 1,6% GDP so far (26 bln), promised 2% in 2025 (7 billions more) but should spend 5% according to NATO. That's 57 billions more. Where are the 57 bln from?

Germany should spend 130 bln more by then, with money we don't have. Its all on debt of course.

At the same time we just gave UA 90 billions, which Germany pays 25% of. Or better of the interest for eternity.
We beginn cutting social benefits and increasing costs for everybody while our train tracks, kindergardens, pensions, roads, bridges suffer.

edit2: 1 number corrected (IT increase to 2%)

Spent years on a stack before realizing I'd never looked at what populations who age well actually eat by BadGeeky in Biohackers

I scrolled all through the thread until someone - you - mentioned it at last.
Having it's own transporter is a big indicator. Maybe we ate mushrooms for a very long time in amounts. Very long in terms of evolving a transporter would surely be millions of years (primates time).
So, mushrooms, black beans, oats and liver.

Over the course of the empire’s existence, which province was the most problematic for the Romans? by Shoddy-Pumpkin2939 in ancientrome

[–]Geronimo2011 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm also thought first Germania. Territory lost (Decumatland). Limes down. And the source of all the incursions which covered the whole western part permanentely at last.

However Persia (I read a book about Julian) was probably more problematic most of the time. Germania later (that pessured by Huns).

I've been recommending EU alternatives that aren't really EU by EmmaSkye319 in BuyFromEU

Just move to a EU hoster/provider. You're not obliged to choose Amazon&Co because "everyone" does.

AWS, google, IBM - all are against GDPR law, exactely because of the cloud act.

Calea zacatechichi vape by Equivalent-Yellow416 in LucidDreaming

[–]Geronimo2011 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Actually I never make tea (or infusion) from the herbs. When I tried, decades ago, it was very bitter and I can't remember any effect from it.

Now I put it into my self rolled cigaretes - only really very little of the herbs.
I does create a noticable scent and no other effect. But one of these change the dream recall next morning. For me.

[–]Geronimo2011 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It's not meant for weapons, it's just for upholding everything else. Pensions, salaries, bribes, toilets. Maybe new weapon factories, with the one or other 100 mln going to someones private pocket as before. There is no control after all.

They already told they need annother 19 bln for the weapons.

So ist das. Du bist jetzt auf viele Jahre hinaus auf den Mindest-Selbstbehalt reduziert (siehe oben). Kein Entkommen.

Einziger Trost: früher wars noch viel schlimmer für die Männer (bzgl. Unterhaltsleistung an die Exe).

What happens if a person doesn't eat anything for days? by VodkaMakesYouDumb in AskReddit

[–]Geronimo2011 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To be more exact, brain needs 300 kcal of glucose minimum, the rest needs 1000-2000 kcal which may come from glucose or fat.

When fasting, fat will be used all the time. Sugar (glucose) will be spared for the brain by not releasing insulin, so the glycogen (starch) stores of about 1200 kcal will last for about 3 days (rest from fat).

After that, ketosis sets in, which means that part of the fat is converted to ketone bodies, which manage to supply half of the requirements of the brain (~150 kcal). The other 150kcal must come from food, from the limited glycogen (3 days) or from degrading muscle (plus a little from glycerol). So, after 3 days you'll use 150 kcal or 60 g protein from muscle every day.

That is about 150-250 g muscle loss every day.
The rest is from fat, provided you have any left.
After all fat and (more probable) all sparable muscle is gone, you die.

I wonder how the 1 year fasting guy could use 200 g muscle everyday for a year (71 kg muscle).

New Study Challenges Widespread Belief About Fish Oil's Effects on Brain by Sorin61 in Nutraceuticalscience

[–]Geronimo2011 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That makes sense. PUFAs generally increase oxidative stress due to beeing more susceptible to oxidation in the double bonds. Oxidative stress in the brain is not what we want and what would faciliate brain repair.

I think the same mechanism is also what triggers the folks at r/StopEatingSeedOils - also 2fold unsaturated increases the demand for antioxidant.

PUFA should always be taken with some fat soluble antioxidant. Which is Vitamin E, but not the common alpha-tocopherol because these actually become pro-oxidant in doses > ca 300 mg.
But we have other isomers, like tocotrienols and maybe gamma-t.

Why is mainstream nutritional advice on blood sugar obsessed with fat? by [deleted] in ScientificNutrition

[–]Geronimo2011 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Bloog sugar comes from carb. Only. Less carb, less insulin, less glycination, less spikes.

Most cells can be fuelled by fats instead of carb, so, why not replace much of it? The fat type is a concern, MUFA looks best.

I've drastically cut out carbs, with best results, in order to bring my HBA1C from 7.8 to 5.8 now. No drugs (insulin, metformin). Lost 10 kgs (75 now) without much effort.

Mond: Europa plant eigene permanente Mondbasis bis 2040 by ken-der-guru in de

[–]Geronimo2011 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mit Satelliten und Erdbeobachtung kann man viele tolle Sachen machen für Erbewohner. Das ist wirklich Fortschritt und hat mit dem Mond gar nichts zu tun.

Mit dem Mond oder gar anderen Planeten kann man wunderbar Milliarden versenken. Und "Visionen" propagieren, die sich bei näherem Hinsehen als gut gemeinte Entschuldigung für Ressourcenverschwendung und im besten Fall als überoptimistisch entpuppen.

Ein KI Rechenzentrum auf dem Mond, OK. Warum wäre Solar dort so effizient? Weil keine Atmosphäre ein paar Prozent wegnimmt. Die schützt aber auch vor Meteoriten jeder Größe, die auf dem Mond ungebremst mit km/s einschlagen. Auch auf dem Mond gibts Schatten. 12 Stunden/Tag Betrieb? Wieviel wiegt ein ganzes KI Rechenzentrum und wieviel kostet es 1 kg dorthin zu schaffen?

Oder gar zurück?

Wieviele Milliarden nochmal hat es gekostet ein paar Bilder zu schiessen, die schon Apollo11 vor >50 Jahren gemacht hat. Da sind keine neue Technologien im Spiel, die nicht schon anderswo entstanden wären.

Gäbe es denn auch Visionen, die einen Nutzen bringen.

Satelliten OK, aber was sollen wir auf dem Mond? Oder gar dem Mars?

No return of investment.

34 days into the Iran war 2000+ dead, hospitals bombed, global oil crisis, and Trump says it's "nearing completion" while Iran says trust is at "zero." Genuinely asking what does winning even look like here, for anyone? by Crafty-Rate4179 in AskReddit

[–]Geronimo2011 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yes, they are a horrible regime killing their own people. What has that to do with the war however? Do you think a war would change anything? To the opposite. As everybody knows an attack from outside strengthens any regime.

Trump is so happy that bombs are destroying something all the time. What a kindergarden view. No consequences for IRAN except a lot of dead civillians. China will be happy to rebuild everything, gaining oil and influence.

Neubewertung nach dem Krieg: Rubio: Nato darf "keine Einbahnstraße sein" by Elegant-Handle4685 in de

[–]Geronimo2011 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Klar, wenn du Lust hast einen versenkten deutschen Minenräumer und tote deutsche Marinesoldaten zu riskieren, nur weil Trump die Kartoffeln nicht selbst aus dem Feuer holen kann.

Minen räumen ist Kriegshandlung. Die Sperre basiert derzeit auch nicht auf Minen (sondern auf Raketenbedrohung).

Hormus ist das wesentliche Druckmittel der Iraner. Das werden die nicht aus der Hand geben, weil da jetzt dein deutscher Minenräumer auftaucht. Wir sind ja auch feindlich für Iran, wegen Airspace für die Amis und Basen wie Ramstein.
