I remember an article on this in the New Scientist a long time ago. It opened with telling us that our grandchildren will be able to identify old photos by the blueness of the sky. SO2 in the sky will reduce the intensity of its colour.
More substantially, the distribution of cooling by latitude from SO2 is different from the distribution of warming from CO2. You can put enough SO2 up there to get the same average cooling as the average warming from the CO2 but either the poles will be warmer and the equator cooler, or vice versa (I forget which way it goes). SO2 is not actually “anti-CO2” at all.
So weather patterns will be quite different in a CO2 + SO2 world, and decisions about the “right” amount of SO2 to pump out will be highly contested
In its trials, Ozempic was combined with intervention/guidance from nutritionists and fitness advisors, and doctors are supposed to reproduce this by referring patients. You can't do that with mice.
I think if I were taking Ozempic I would ask my doctor to halve the rate of progression to higher doses to make the whole process easier to manage, not just managing muscle loss but also the whole of life impact. The official protocol is very "crash diet" in style.
Anyone thinking of taking Ozempic should be aware that many people abandon the drug within the first two years, due to too much nausea, diarrhoea and cost.
So it looks like GLP-1 may have positive side-effects beyond what can be explained as consequences of weight loss. Surprising linkages between biochemistry/hormones and temperament.
I am slowly (1 kilogram per month) losing weight by eating nothing but meat 2-3 days per week. My understanding is that the extra GLP-1 secreted by the gut when digesting lots of protein leads to appetite suppression. It works, and is surprisingly easy to do (no feelings of hunger).
So will I also be getting the beneficial side effects of GLP-1? If so, high-protein dieting becomes the smart way to lose weight.
I’ve read of a Japanese body building practice that involves using a blood pressure cuff to restrict the dispersal of blood. The muscle marinates in its metabolic waste, which has an anabolic effect. Don’t know what they do for muscles in the torso.
> if you're suing me, I don't want you in my house.
The "me" in the article is not a person, but a corporation. The person suing is not the lawyer, but whoever engaged the law firm. And an entertainment venue is not somebody's house.
How about ...
If you work for a company that is engaged by a company that is suing us in a business dispute, we will harass you by excluding you from an unguessable amount of venues and events. We're warning you of this but we won't give you a list of those venues and events, you'll just find out when you get excluded as you go about your private life. And we don't have to get a green light from a magistrate to do this, and we might continue doing it after the dispute is over if we don't like your attitude.
The report divides deaths into three types: those who died of covid, those who died with covid and excess deaths. The excess deaths are more numerous than the with covid deaths.
Weekly fluctuations in excess deaths correlates strongly with covid deaths, so people who want to pretend that the excess deaths are due to something other than covid (ie, vaccinations or lockdown measures) are barking up the wrong tree.
If you get anywhere, put a link to your code here. I’m bookmarking this spot and I’d appreciate a look at some python code when I come back to this (kinda busy right now).
Only if intelligence leads to greater fitness in the Darwinian sense. Don't confuse higher socio-economic status with Darwinian fitness. Plenty of people of quite modest intelligence and limited achievement are successfully passing their genes on to the next generation.
