No. Ruminants are responsible for 20%. Cows are not the only ruminants on the planet.
Did you hear the story about how cows were once the dominant and most intelligent creatures on earth? Then they devolved, and are now just a ruminant of their one time greatness.
We eat seaweed and it's products already Carrageenan comes to mind, with ice cream, Beer!, Toothpaste and that's just Carrageenan. Sushi also uses it. In Wales they use some seaweed called Laver - sounds awful, but they like it, so it can't be too bad.
Cows will probably love it. I see supply problems though. Right now a lot of them get chicken shit - I kid you not - and if you had the choice between poultry waste or seaweed, I think I know what most of us would pick. https://www.organicconsumers.o...
I guess it depends on how its implemented. If you have latency issues inside a car, the implementation is the problem, not bluetooth. My BT audio setup is synched well within the frame rate of any video I've ever watched. I even use it for video editing.
While this academy president thinks the plan "does not come at men's expense," argues the academy's president, Jose van Dijck" It actually does. It comes at the women's expense. They want 10 new members this year, and 6 next year. Thos members have a qualification that they must be female. That is how they will get the position - Being female. It's rather pernicious that there are 16 positions that a male is specifically and based on his gender, not allowed to get. Read TFA if you don't believe me.
This is not even affirmative action, which an argument can be made for. it's like telling say, a person of dark pigmentation that they specifically can't get in because of their genetics. Well, I give them credit for honesty. not so much for achieving equality purposeful sexual discrimination
That's not the argument he gave and that we're discussing in this particular thread.
If you don't care for my comments, don't reply. But since you did me the courtesy of telling me to shut the fuck up. allow me to eddycate you on the basis for my comment. It's possibly a little tricky, so pay attention. Here we go:
unixisc wrote : "He very clearly stated his reasons in the full article: "Even if the treatment is successful and she is brought back to life in let's say 200 years, she may not find any relative and she might not remember things and she may be left in a desperate situation given that she is only 14 years old and will be in the United States of America".
Okay, it appears that the childs fother wrote something that I just copied and pasted Look at what unixisc wrote in case you doubt the veracity of my copy and paste. Next, Let's get jiggy wit it and see what unixsc wrote next!
"Mom & her family didn't think things through, while he did."
To which I replied, in agreement with him : "So he'd rather face reality."
He is the father who would rather face reality, and she and her family did not.
Now you see, I was agreeing with him on that point I was agreeing with him that her father thought it through and her mother and her family did not think it through.
That my good man - is an exact and on topic reply in agreement with what unixisc wrote.
So before looking like a flaming asshole that tries to dictate what other people write, try following the conversation, and stop being a flaming asshole that tries to control what other people write. Any questions boss? I'll go over it again much slower if you're having trouble with the old comprendee.
So he'd rather she'd be dead than alive with no relatives, and, *gasp*, in the United States of America? Yeah, that's some quality thinking.
So he'd rather face reality. She's just as dead in a cry tank as she is in any other form. There is just as much chance a person could be revived from a dna swab, or just their freshly decapitated noggin as being frozen after all of their organs have shut down, poisoned by the effects of dying. Better off to become a Christian and know your immortal soul will go to heaven, and with just as likely a positive outcome as the human freeze pop theory.
Apparently the money is being put up by the mother's family, so we can only speculate on his reasons. I know I'd hate to see someone waste a lot of money on something like this. Seems like a scam to me.
I wonder how long 37 Kilobucks will keep a person in that liquid nitrogen they will need so badly. Scam? Oh hell yeah.
She can wish for anything, since she's just 14. But I do expect more sense from her mom, even though I understand the grief she as well as the dad have to be going through.
Side note - there were some misgivings by the hospital and they noted that the mother seemed to be more concerned about the procedures than any grieving.
I can't tell for certain, but this whole thing smacks of a refusal to face reality than anything else. If people need to feel like they are immortal, they should try one of th religions that bestows that upon you. Maybe reincarnation, maybe going to the clouds and worshipping the guy hwo made you or something. Faith will cost a lot less than some weird make a freezer pop our of you idea.
Do you have the citation for that? I've been looking but haven't seen who was paying, only that the father was concerned about the costs. If the mother's family was paying, it seems odd that he would care.
The father had legitimate concerns about how she would live after 200 years
There might be concern, but trying to predict 200 years into the future can by no stretch of the word be called "legitimate".
No, its the "now". The Hospital and mortuary expressed "misgivings" and apparently the mother was more concerned about th eprocess than any grieving. As in so many things, there might just be something more going on here. We'll have to stand by for further news, but there is a good chance that while the mother was given the right to decide, and the right to decide was taken away form the father, it's not certain, but the father stands a good chance of footing the bill for the rest of his life.
I wonder what happens then? Is this the sort of thing that will carry down in perpetuity? Will the father and anyone he might marry and/or father after this be required to pay for the dead girl's further cryogenic death suspension? Or will the state be required to foot the bill?
The father had legitimate concerns about how she would live after 200 years if she was revived (cited in another post of mine below).
Considering that her mother probably had a big part in the decision to freeze her corpse, I daresay the father's concerns darn well were legitimate!
It has to be horrible awful to lose a child that way, but that's a strange reaction, to freeze the corpse. I wonder when visiting days at the freezer are?
I do not trust the cryonics industry to be actually doing the basic research to make it possible. Every time I've heard about it, they're taking the attitude that in the future, the ability will be developed to repair the damage caused by freezing human tissue, a capability that does not exist now. Then in the future they'll have cures for whatever ails the body. Then they'll have the ability to reanimate to then cure the body.
Occam's demands the simplest answer. That the Cryonics industry is just another way of profiting from grief. After the survivors die, if the descendants pay the bill, and if not, it's into the dumpster for the dear departed. It's like that Corpso3000 ultra deluxe coffin with a camera and App that allows you to visit the dearly departed underground as long as you wish.
What if the cryonics business that is keeping her frozen goes out of business?
This is a very good question! Which leads us to the question of if something happens, and the dearly frozen is thawed, is the company holding the peoplesicle guilty of manslaughter?
What if a hundred years from now, descendants of the frozen don't want to support the monthly bill. Are they permitted to defrost the corpse? Or is this depraved indifference manslaughter or even murder one?
It's easy to say "But she's dead already." But a person kooky enough to put a dead family member in the cooler is crazy enough to press for charges, and probably doesn't believe the person is dead anyhow.
The government is very late to this party, and huge harm has been done because of that, but join the party they should -- it's important.
There was a lot of money to be made by selling this stuff. And in something like 1938 a US senator who was a "homeopathic physician" got homeopathic meds included as drugs in the Food Drugs and Cosmetic Act.
Amazing in fact.
I would note that there is one thing called homeopathy that works. Arnica Montana. This daisy like flower has some decent pain killing action. The odd thing is that it isn't homeopathic by a long shot. It's a fairly concentrated liquid. You take the dried flowers of the plant, steep them in some alcohol and then strain them after maybe a week. You get this amber colored fluid that is pretty good at numbing out muscular and joint pain. It smells pretty good too, unlike the methyl salicylate which can get overpowering. Doesn't make your ears ring either.
I always like to bring this up because the one homeopathic thing that actually works actually isn't homeopathic. The rest is ridiculous shit.
I have long viewed dementia care as a perfect realm for some kind of AI. I kind of figured it'll be a combination of Google Glass, Uber self driving cars and things like that.
Good heavens - you have absolutely no idea of what dementia is.
The whole idea is not, to turn them into profit centres, it is to employ people suited to that industry, to look after them and provide them with human, FUCKING HUMAN, care and compassion.
Hold on there Cowboy - that's crazy talk!
But yeah, today's system is based upon getting money, and success is considered as extracting as much of the "guest's" wealth as possible before they pass, or they expire as soon as possible after their estate is gone.
So is using wikipedia itself - people used to know how to not only find but to use supported academic and scientific references coherently, not linking to a populist wikipedia page is all they know.
The Wikipedia page is cited to give someone else the chance to look at it and maybe learn something. I can't give people my education, but can show them where to start their own.
New treatments for Alzheimer's show promise, but your world still seems too sunny for my taste. Ever worked on inpatient units at a hospital?
Even these at best, slow the progression of the problem.
My family is already under orders that if I somehow screw up and don't take myself out beforehand, and end up with Alzheimer's, in a nursing home - I want no part of merely extending the process and enriching the nursing home.
That would be like choosing to drown over the course of 10 years, instead of getting it done as quickly as possible.

I'm pretty sure it does undo the mod if you post AC, however, if you post AC and then mod and the mod stays.
Nope.
You sure about that? I though they still track you by cookie or ip or something and un-apply your mod if you post, even as AC.
Post truthing eh? No they don't.

I see a market for seaweed-based Mexican food.

It's in all of them. If it hasn't been found in your Android, it just hasn't been found - yet.
Sheesh! Lighten up, Frances. and the 'democrat' moderator should too! What kind of idiot took that seriously?
I made the whole comment in jest. You're the one all but hurt.
Francis.
Friday night crowd's getting pretty drunk in here, and trying to pick fights with the sober people.
Bluetooth ranges from bad to fucking shit.

No, but sharpening the propeller blades will take care of the problem. Buy your props from Ginsu.
I love drones, but do not fuck with the eagles. I love them better.

As a board certified neurologist - you are either naive or selling snake oil.
As not a board certified neurologist, I agree with you completely.
