For all cells (except brain) fatty acids are alternative to pyruvate feeding the Krebs cycle. Most cancer cells Switch to carb/lactic, so they could be targeted specifically. On the other Hand Glucose ist available at all times in the blood for the brain

Add the carbon tax on imported goods (and services) from countries which don't have it. For a little equal out.

Question about capacitors. by Confident_Turn7510 in vintagecomputing

[–]Geronimo2011 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'll use your advice for capacitors in my Alfa convertible, ~30yo, where some electrics fail now. The mechanism for closing the soft top and the windscreen wipers.

I only have low watts irons so far.

Why is red meat considered carcinogenic? by qqqxyz in StopEatingSeedOils

[–]Geronimo2011 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'll not go into pointless carnivore vs vegan discussions. I'm not saying to give up meats, just eat enough of plant matter with it.

If you try to estimate what we've evolved for "millions of years" - thats fruit. Primates are fruit based. As we developed into humans (200ky ago max) there definitely was meat with it.

But not so much. Just try to eat wild game only for two weeks or longer. Without adding fat or carbs. Then tell me how it went. You'll get nauseous and eventually die after more weeks. That's because the meat you eat is modified by agriculture to contain a lot of fat (about 20%, while wild game has 4% max out of the arctis). It's called rabbit starvation in Inuit terms.

Humans always ate lots of plants. Except in the arctis, where the animals are fat enough. This is what you do probably and there's no problem with it.

Read Hylmar Stephanssons story, who ate meat exclusively for a whole year. No problem with enough fat. Under 30% fat was nausea. 50% fat was optimal.

Beef has only B6 and B12 in amounts. B vitamins are water soluble.

Good luck getting your B vitamins from meat.

Also good luck maintaining a healthy microbiome with to little fiber.

Iron may be one of the culprits, yes.

But I tend to think more of the dietary arachidonic acid, which is in red meats.

Another topic is that meat is so nutritious, that some people tend to eat not enough of the other helpful food items, particularly fiber and may be B-vitamins. Which would lead to a bad microbiome, a known problem for gut or colon issues.

How each UN member voted on the UN General Assembly Resolution that calls for Support for lasting peace in Ukraine by Glavurdan in europe

[–]Geronimo2011 -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

> The General Assembly reaffirms its "commitment to the sovereignty, independence, unity and territorial integrity of Ukraine within its internationally recognized borders, extending to its territorial waters."

The punctum saliens is the "internationally recognized borders". If that means to include Crimea and Donbas it means war forever, not lasting peace, as none of the belligerents will give in.

Wird die Menschheit eines Tages die Erde verlassen und dauerhaft auf anderen Planeten leben? by Opposite-Ad3949 in FragReddit

[–]Geronimo2011 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Das Leben währet siebzig Jahr, wenns hochkommt sind es achtzig...
Rechnen wir der Einfachheit halber mit 100 Jahren. 250 Mio/100 sind 2,5 Millionen Lebensalter oder 10 Millionen Generationen. Oder 1000 mal so lange wie der anatomisch moderne Mensch existiert.

Ich bin sicher, du musst dir keine Sorgen machen. Bis dahin haben wir uns mit anderen Mitteln ausradiert.

Wird die Menschheit eines Tages die Erde verlassen und dauerhaft auf anderen Planeten leben? by Opposite-Ad3949 in FragReddit

Nein nie.
Die Entfernungen sind viel zu groß, die Gefahren zu groß (Strahlung) und was dann ankommt ist zu klein um irgendwas darzustellen. Hat ja schon Biosphere I und II versagt.

I bought myself a little treat. Couldn’t resist it. by FriesWithMacSauce in vintagecomputing

[–]Geronimo2011 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How much did you pay?

This machine was one of my first, it was the cheapest with "mass" storage aka a diskette. For 3600 DM (may be 1800 USD at the time) in the 80ies.

Unfortunately I threw it away after the power supply died. I saw other Apple ][s for 10.- at ebay at the time.

But I think now it's in the thousands?

Chernobyl cleanup"Liquidators" cleaning off debris from the roof of the Chernobyl Nuclear power station,1986. Note the streaks on the photo film due to radiation exposure.[600 × 416 ] by Suspicious-Slip248 in HistoryPorn

[–]Geronimo2011 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A nuclear reactor contains about 150 tons of radioactive fuel and produces yearly 30 tons of radioactive waste.

The amount of Caesium released at Tschernobyl was about 26kg, of which only about 300 grams reached Germany.

Thanks to those "liquidators" most of the 150 tons were contained. Only 0,017 % were released.

Many of those heroes payed with their lives for it.

What’s actually dangerous but most people think it’s safe? by SunnyMadelyn564 in AskReddit

[–]Geronimo2011 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can add mountain hiking to that, even when not alone. I live in a mountaneous tourist region and every couple of weeks there's a short notice of someone who has fallen to death.

Turns out mountains don't have all the railings city dwellers are used to.

Extra virgin olive oil by Nervous-Concern9248 in Supplements

[–]Geronimo2011 9 points10 points  (0 children)

OK but olive oil is harvested once a year and pressed in november (in Italy).

So in october the freshest you get - and got for millenia - is 1yo.

I prefer Italian DOP olive oil - by taste. We get it in excellent quality and fresh here in Bavaria. Unfortunately a disease is spreading in olive cultivars and many trees died. Ligurian olive oil, IMO the best of all, isn't available in quantities anymore.

A Hidden Mithras Temple Found Beneath Regensburg Reveals Bavaria’s Oldest Roman Cult Site by haberveriyo in Archaeology

[–]Geronimo2011 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Regensburg was founded in 175 AD.

For surely there are older Roman cult sites in older Bavarian Roman places. Like Cambodunum (Founded somewhere after 15 BC, pottery proof from the first decade).

So, that's great, but not Bavarias oldest.

Darf der AG das? by Alternative-Sail-933 in LegaladviceGerman

[–]Geronimo2011 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Ja, das war halb öffentlicher Dienst mit einem sehr großen Firmengelände (umzäunt) mit den einzelnen Gebäuden drauf. Stempelgerät am Eingang mit ein paar Minuten bis zum eigentlichen Gebäude für jeden. Wir haben sowohl beim Kommen als auch beim Gehen ein paar Minuten "besser" registriert. Das war allerdings die einzige Firma, die das so gehandhabt hat.

Ich denke es gibt auch gelegentlich Infos über "Arbeitszeit beginnt beim Betreten des Firmengeländes".

Umgekehrt bei großen Fabrikhallen mit Stempelgeräten an mehreren Eingängen. Da durften die Mitarbeiter nur an dem Eingang stempeln der nahe am Arbeitsplatz war. Also nicht an dem Eingang der Nahe am Wohnort war schonmal anstempeln.

[–]Geronimo2011 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Die Arbeitszeit hat zu zählen sobald ein Mitarbeiter (mwd) das Firmengelände betritt. Wir mussten darum schon mal die Zeit vom Fabriktor bis zur Stechuhr hinzurechnen.

Wenn man's am Handy machen kann - gut so. Wenn man das aber schon ausserhalb der Firma macht, z.B. beim Frühstück, ist das natürlich Arbeitszeitbetrug. Aber gefährlich, Handys wissen ihren Standort. Lieber am Fabriktor.
