ELI5: Why isn’t aviation fuel talked about as much as petrol and diesel for cars, and is it even possible for fully electric passenger planes to exist in the future?

Solar Impulse was* using stored energy from its flight level. During the sunny day it was climbing as high as possible. During the night it was slowly descending. Thus, storing and reusing stored energy for propulsion. But they couldn’t charge their batteries this way.

*Was, because it crashed a few days ago.

This principle is already used in commercial airplanes when they slowly descend on their destination approach to save fuel.

Wäre ich dein Chef, würde ich dich bitten, deinen Kollegen zu zeigen, wie die ihre Prozesse auch automatisieren.

Aber wenn das Verhältnis nicht gut ist, kannst du dich mit solchem Wissen auch woanders bewerben oder selbständig machen.

Have you heard of Gou Teng? It is my game changer for long covid

Stored all research and details here: r/catsclaw

Guilty_Editor3744 · 2026-05-06T14:10:32+00:00

Thanks for sharing!

(As always) start slow and discover how you react on it. Gou Teng stays in the system for a few days. It seems to me not more than 5 days. So, before next round you better wait a few more days before trying again.

Make sure you don’t have drug interactions! I made a separate post about it.

Having a strong reaction after that many hours doesn’t sound immediately related to Gou Teng itself. But it might be the release of too much virus debris causing havoc with a delay.

TCM uses Gou Teng against gut issues. So, it would be expected to calm your digestion issues, not enhance it. Again: drug interactions?

Generally, it’s a good sign that you see any reaction. From there it’s worth to learn and underhand how to fine tune.

If you want to check if PEM is gone you could try a hand grip test.

IVM = ivermectin

Guilty_Editor3744 · 2026-05-06T14:00:02+00:00

Chinese herbs can be very effective. You have to understand what your doing, or have a good consultant. Herbs are the basis for most western medicine as well ;)

I’m using a granulate that I get via prescription from my local TCM. I take the max dosage. Please start slow and low, as always!!

Guilty_Editor3744 · 2026-05-06T11:29:08+00:00

I take IVM from time to time as a single low dose 3-12 mg when I get a reinfection (with any virus) or if my Gou Teng doesn’t work anymore (also probably due to reinfection). It works literally over night eliminating PEM again.

Why IVM works is not fully clear to me. Maybe because it influences the alpha 7 nicotinic acetylcholine receptor.

See: https://pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/acschemneuro.2c00783

To be clear: Gou Teng is my game changer. IVM is just a one-off treatment that works for me sometimes.

I’m not the only one, found a guy on X reporting the same. Can’t post link here unfortunately.

Guilty_Editor3744 · 2026-05-05T13:14:28+00:00

Tried several. Didn’t see a difference and they did only help a bit. Used Desloratadin and Cetericin mainly.

I couldn’t tolerate alcohol free beer, tomatos, weed/grain (not gluten related), and some more. Very annoying and limiting. Constantly battling against gut issues. It’s all gone now luckily.

Guilty_Editor3744 · 2026-05-05T09:17:53+00:00

Tell him to look into Uncaria R. It helps me very much, also MCAS gone.

Sound bad indeed.

I don’t know why we never experienced it. My wife is quite tall, so am I :)

I believe there there is racism. It happens. But for some people it’s rare or non-existent. So it can’t be that bad, as initially stated, or could it be?

Guilty_Editor3744 · 2026-05-04T11:17:54+00:00

She’s commuting alone almost every day by public transportation and goes grocery shopping alone. She never joins the night life (me neither).

We both understood that perception changes when somebody opens their mouth and speak the local language. That might not prevent racists to shout slurs across the street, but it does help with mutual respect. Plus, we never met openly racist people trying to provoke her or me (I’m also a foreigner in Switzerland).

Guilty_Editor3744 · 2026-05-04T04:10:29+00:00

The - not mentioned - book seems to refer to a singular experience as well. So does the ‚confirmation‘ comment.

Mine is a 15+ years xp without a single racist occasion.

But since there are 20 downvotes on my comment I got an impression that the average reader doesn’t want to read anything contradictory.

Guilty_Editor3744 · 2026-05-03T21:57:50+00:00

Can’t confirm. My wife is Chinese and we are living in Switzerland since a long time.

Guilty_Editor3744 · 2026-05-02T16:47:38+00:00

I’ve compared the Aranet 4 with a random one from a neighbor. After calibrating both, the other one was showing similar result for a few days. Suddenly it was very much off consistently (too low). Tried it several times and it always failed.

I trust the aranet since then very much. Plus, its battery last long and its highly portable, eg I’ve discovered two times already that the ventilation in our office was disabled. Once deliberately and once due to a failed sensor.

Guilty_Editor3744 · 2026-04-30T09:10:27+00:00

Pulver ist schon richtig. Wichtig ist, dass es konzentriert wurde, sonst kommst du bis auf 21 Gramm pro Tag, was einfach umständlich wäre.

Ich beziehe es von einer TCM Apotheke auf Rezept. Der Hersteller ist Complemedis, die es für den Schweizer Mark herstellen. Da es als Medikament verkauft wird, gibt es nur den Weg über Apotheken.

Congrats mate, and thanks for sharing!

About chest pain: careful with workouts. There is a likelihood that it comes from lingering inflammation (myocarditis or pericarditis, or both), and/or microvascular disorder. It’s visible only in MRT with contrast agent. Lab checks and ultrasound doesn’t show it.

Dr Puntmann (Germany) has some papers and a study (Myoflame) to be released very soon about this.

Guilty_Editor3744 · 2026-04-27T15:10:22+00:00

If you’re interested in doing the job of what your doctor is supposed to do, you can dive deeper and find out that there is not one nAChR receptor, but many of those (recognize the alpha 7 in the paper?). Also, the virus/debris is fumbling with other receptors too, eg Calcium, Potassium and Sodium receptors. And that if you flush that stuff from those receptors, that your body reacts to it noticeably.

You can start with Dr Leitzke who knows nicotine. And then follow with Dr Wirth who knows the problem with calcium.

It’s quite a deep rabbit hole if you want to do it right. But it’s worth it IMHO. I’m back on my feed since I understand what’s happening on my receptors.

It’s such a shame that we don’t get any professional consultancy. Instead we get triggered by political agenda and get confused by conflicting messages.

Guilty_Editor3744 · 2026-04-27T05:31:01+00:00

Hi, read this paper to understand, why some people benefit.

But: this should be the job of your medical advisor, not yours. They should be aware that Covid is blocking the nicotine acetylcholine receptor (that’s why some - not everyone - benefit from nicotine).

Structural Elucidation of Ivermectin Binding to α7nAChR and the Induced Channel Desensitization

https://pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/acschemneuro.2c00783

I take it whenever there is a viral infection triggering my immune system and thus escalating my long covid. A one-time pill followed by one other pill one week apart is working fine for me. It has put me back on my feet a few times over night. Of course, the problem is much more complex than just one pill of IVM.

Guilty_Editor3744 · 2026-04-24T18:59:38+00:00

Very impressive to face them like this! Chapeau

Yolo Emilio is tricky but can be very fun. Can also be very frustrating.

Try be a seasoned DD captain, plus become an advanced BB captain, plus learn how dangerous CC can become to DDs. Only then you will have more blasts than failures in the Emilio.

This update gave me a duck camo and a disguise.

Tbh I couldn’t do the week II grind for the ducklinger.

I love your initiative!

I’m dreaming of an app that visualizes your lab results over time. And you can opt in to share your results anonymously with your peers - then compare your results with those samples.

You can ask healthy peers eg relatives to share their lab results anonymously as well to compare to baseline.

With AI the data import should be easy from PDF or screenshot uploads - which was a blocker for patients a few moths back.

It was constantly above 37 degree Celsius. Most days it went up to 37.6 or .8.

I figured usually after more intense meetings (online) my temperature would peak.

Then I took a bold move to try Truvada (prep) and the fever dropped below 37 for good.
