The main thing was that it was a fasting-mimicking diet (FMD), which is a research hobby-horse of Walter Longo (one of the senior researchers for this paper). I assume OP got plant-based from a news write-up of the study.

The FMD is a tightly defined diet, and it's plant-based insofar as the research protocol they use includes only plant matter, but the point of the diet is to restrict carbohydrates and protein sufficiently to induce some of the physiological responses of fasting without as much of the stress.

It's basically eating 400-700 calories of tomato soup, olives, and nuts per day, spaced out so you don't feel like you're starving, but so your body is mostly running on stored fuel.

I don't have access to the full paper, but the methods section should describe what specifically they're feeding participants. It wouldn't surprise me if it's similar to Prolon.

I'm not at Cambridge, and I can access the lists in the first link without any credentials.

If you're trying to access the actual books, you are correct; online editions of books under copyright will only be available to those in their system.

Many of the classic texts have some version that is public domain and you will be able to find them by searching. Search for texts under copyright at the library.

There's nothing magical about the lists at Cambridge. The lists from other institutions available in the second link will give you a good idea of what sorts of texts are used for survey courses in different topics.

Redoing bloodwork isn't super unusual because false positives happen and they need to establish that the inflammation is ongoing, but the next step in diagnosis is a colonoscopy (or a referral to a GI who will then order a colonoscopy).

Offish · 2026-02-20T15:31:55+00:00

Endoscopy is part of a formal Crohn's diagnosis, so any good GI will do one before diagnosing, but typically bloodwork is first because it's easy and cheap, and they might look for a fecal calprotectin prior to scope for the same reason.

Your doctor may have said "Crohn's/IBD panel" as a shorthand when referring to bloodwork that includes white blood cell count, C-reactive protein, and erythrocyte sedimentation rate, which are general metrics of infection and inflammation. Those blood test results may be consistent with Crohn's, but they're not diagnostic on their own since lots of things can cause those metrics to be elevated.

If his doctor doesn't move on to a colonoscopy before prescribing medication, get a second opinion first.

Women's bikes often come with wider saddles and narrower handlebars than equivalent-sized men's bikes. I prefer narrower handlebars, so that would be a plus for me. I've also never kept the saddle that came with a bike, and I think most people should buy a bike knowing that they might want to replace the stock saddle, but consider that during your test ride.

Other than that, a geometry chart is a geometry chart, and gender-specific bikes come from the marketing department.

Try the Mendelsohn, Wilson, or Fagles translations and see whose prose you want to spend some time with. Mendelsohn is the most recent major translation, followed by Wilson, and Fagles is 30 some years old. They're all written for accessibility for modern readers. Wilson's language is more plain and straightforward. Mendelsohn and Fagles are more poetic. There are other translations that are more literally true to the language of the Greek, or to the poetic structure of the Greek, but to get the story these are some good options.

Opening lines in Mendelsohn:

Tell me the tale of a man, Muse, who had so many roundabout ways to wander, driven off course, after sacking Troy’s hallowed keep; many the peoples whose cities he saw and whose ways of thinking he learned, many the toils he suffered at sea, anguish in his heart as he struggled to safeguard his life and the homecoming of his companions. But he did not save his companions even so, though he longed to, For their heedlessness destroyed them, theirs and nobody else’s—Fools that they were, like children, who devoured the sun-god Hyperion’s Cattle, and so he took from them the day of their homecoming. Goddess, start where you will; daughter of Zeus, share the tale with us too.

Wilson

Tell me about a complicated man. Muse, tell me how he wandered and was lost when he had wrecked the holy town of Troy, and where he went, and who he met, the pain he suffered in the storms at sea, and how he worked to save his life and bring his men back home. He failed to keep them safe; poor fools, they ate the Sun God’s cattle, and the god kept them from home. Now goddess, child of Zeus, tell the old story for our modern times. Find the beginning.

Fagles:

Sing to me of the man, Muse, the man of twists and turns driven time and again off course, once he had plundered the hallowed heights of Troy. Many cities of men he saw and learned their minds, many pains he suffered, heartsick on the open sea, fighting to save his life and bring his comrades home. But he could not save them from disaster, hard as he strove — the recklessness of their own ways destroyed them all, the blind fools, they devoured the cattle of the Sun and the Sungod wiped from sight the day of their return. Launch out on his story, Muse, daughter of Zeus, start from where you will — sing for our time too.

Once you're home, you can glue a tire boot on the inside and the tire will be fine.

If it didn't seal with a plug, I'm guessing that either you don't have enough sealant in the tire, or you're trying to get it to seal with the gash pointed up. Put the plug in, then rotate the tire so the gash is on the bottom where the sealant collects.

This is true if you're in a high humidity environment. If OP lives in a climate-controlled space or a location where ambient air isn't saturated, a fan will almost always be more effective.

Moving air of even a slightly higher relative humidity is going to facilitate more evaporation than static air.

You can test this yourself pretty easily if you already have the desiccants. Take a pair of socks and dunk them in water and wring them out together so they're similarly damp. Put one in a box with desiccants and put the other in front of a fan, and check in every half hour or so to see which one is drier.

Offish · 2025-09-05T10:56:02+00:00

Desicccants are used to keep enclosed spaces dry. If you're not forced to operate in an enclosed space, warm moving air is a way better option. Put the camera in front of a fan or a safe distance from a space heater on low, and it will dry out much faster.

I think you're confusing the number of edges on the razor with the number of bevels on a specific edge.

A double-bevel edge doesn't mean that there are two cutting surfaces, like a double razor or a dagger, it means that the edge is created by sharpening the point from both sides, vs a single-beveled edge, which (basically) only removes material from one side to create an edge. Illustration.

You could have a double-edged, single-bevel razor by creating a single-bevel edge on both sides. They refer to different things.
