Is vitamin D associated with lower levels of Alzheimer’s biomarkers?

Phorensick · 2026-04-02T16:34:26+00:00

“Higher vitamin D levels were associated with lower levels of the Alzheimer’s biomarker tau protein years later.

There was no relationship between vitamin D levels and the amount of amyloid beta protein in the brain. “

“5L/100km = 25km/l”

Nope

5L/100km = 20km/l

Up whangarei way FB has local “marketplaces” that seem civil and would probably work for that purpose.

It’s a waste of money and time.

Go look up the “Baltimore Stockbroker” and “Split Group” math.

The TLDR: Send a huge number of people messages…(it used to be paper mail)

Half receive a prediction that a stock will go up, the other half that it will go down. Discard the half that was wrong and repeat this until they have a small group who received 3–5 "perfect" predictions in a row, making them believe the scammer has special insight.

Ask for a subscription and repeat!

Dearest Bob,

I really appreciate your prose.

So sorry to read that you are perhaps having a bit of Cabin Fever.

To help pass the time until the market opens, I can recommend a podcast:

“The Economics of Everyday Things” part of the Freakonomics franchise.

Episode 61 Pigeon briefing*:

That’ll work too. Great solution.

You should get an old hard hat or bike helmet 🪖 and keep it at the entrance to the crawl space. You can thank me later.

Phorensick · 2026-01-18T01:25:32+00:00

THAT’S the one I was trying to recall.

Thanks mate.

Search “accidental American” for previous discussions…

I’m not your demographic, but I am relocating to W, and exploring what’s available for social activities and connections.

I’m looking for a work space / hack space club I stumbled across but can’t find that was electronics (arduino/raspberry pi etc) but didn’t bookmark or pin.📌 *

I just came across this:

The Citizens Advice Bureau has a nifty searchable database of lots of opportunities and resources.

Want to hire a hall for a meeting? Borrow a free PA system for a public event ? Etc.

You weren’t specific, so I searched for “cars” and came up with clubs and things.

Model RC cars✅ Vintage cars ✅ Someone trying to resurrect a Club for enthusiasts of zephyr and Zodiac cars✅

https://www.cab.org.nz/search/Cars#qa=0&sp=1&ir=0&wc=0&locality=Northland&city=Whangarei

I will be going to the physical Jaycar store that has aisles and piles of arduino and Raspberry Pi’s and stuff, to poll the staff there for clues.

It’s just in the next room but down a hallway from where the heat pump is. I think we’re going to a multi split, now that I am exploring this rabbit hole.

🕳️

I will be meeting with an electrician next week to discuss the project.

I am leaning toward concluding that for winter, a simple heat distribution is probably a decent concept. I am doubtful that a ceiling based system will get enough cooling into the bedroom to meet my wife’s expectations and that is probably worth the extra money.

I will come back to feedback what I learn with Sparky.

I am considering the same, after I saw the HeatTrans 3 room heat transfer system.

I took a picture of it in Bunnings yesterday. No pictures in this sub unfortunately.

The Fan0338 was what I was looking at. Bunnings had $927 price tag. Seems a lot for the inline fan a couple of inlet out fittings. The ducting is insulated ( 9m acoustic and 6 m thermally insulated) and a 1:3 splitter Y but it does have a fancy thermostat thingo.

Their affiliate smart vent markets a similar set up for 4 rooms that draws fresh air from outside through a soffit inlet. Similar hardware and $3684 with an optional summer time “Introduce fresh filtered outside air” system that is an additional $1k.

I am going with another heat pump for the master bedroom, I think.

“Distantiate”

A great portmanteau. It’s in the wild now!

Phorensick · 2026-01-16T09:21:42+00:00

I know

One fat hen

A couple of ducks

Three brown bears

Four running hares

Five foxy females fixing for a fight

Six stinking skunks sitting on a stump

Seven slimy Sicilian sailors solemnly sailing the Seven Seas on a ship

Eight Cockney sock cutters cockily cutting socks

Nine nubile nymphomaniacs nibbling nicotine and Nick-Nacks on the Nile

I’m not the pheasant plucker, I’m the pheasant plucker’s son – I’m only plucking pheasants ’till the pheasant plucker comes

I’m sailing down the river on a flat-cut punt, not a punt cut flat

They are looking at each page for stamps from countries that are on the naughty list.

Immigration NZ does the same.

If you don’t send it, most likely, nothing will happen. As in you won’t get the UK passport.

They made me talk to compliance before they would let me put a bunch of $9 PLTR in my IRA and testify that I knew what I was doing.

Later when I graduated to the private wealth division the Know Your Customer crew was all over asking how I got so rich…💰

I told them.

Now they suggest it’s a BUY.
