Ancel Keys established a spurious link between cholesterol and heart disease. His Seven Countries Study was an early application of regression analysis. What is very rarely mentioned was that Keys omitted 5 countries (more? Can't exactly recall) that didn't fit the regression he wanted to show. (Ref: "Good Calories, Bad Calories," Gary Taubes)
Keys' contributions to lipid hypothesis fucked the metabolic health of millions for decades.
Regarding Keys' centenarian expiration, go find a pic of what that dude looked like for the last few decades of his life. I'll pass on the longevity and his diet plan.
And if you're interested in how nutritionally screwed we are in the US:
"Hacking of the American Mind" and "Sugar" by Robert Lustig, a Harvard endocrinologist
"The Dorito Effect" by Mark Schatzker
There are lots more to choose from, but that's a pretty big starting point
Those are calrod elements. The resistive coil is inside that tube. The bolts hold the steel shell. The affixing nuts hold the outer casing and are not conducting electricity.
The insulation can fail and the inner coil will touch the shell, although I've only seen it happen once. Blew a hole in the bottom of a pot in dramatic fashion.
Edit to add: I am a huge fan of "Teach Yourself Electricity and Electronics" by Stan Gibilisco, which is now in its 7th edition. Back in the 90s, I got my start with the 2nd edition. Here's the 4th for free on Internet Archive: https://archive.org/details/teachyourselfele00stan
I'm a huge fan of Kenji's recipe in "The Wok" book. But to get you your fix ASAP, here ya go...
(it looks okay on my screen, but let me know if the resolution is too low here)
Is it the sound? My cat's absolute favorite toy was a felt ball with crinkly, noisy plastic in it. But she also loved sitting on card stock laid on soft surfaces.
Yes to all, actually, except Forks. Not much ocean in Forks. :D We move around based on weather/Banana Belt, where friends are in town, and any other factors that strike our interest.
Right?! I mentioned Sudachi to an old college friend with whom I've had a decades-long mutual cooking and food chemistry journey. MFer was all, "Oh yeah, been following him for years. He's awesome." I'm starting to question my friendship with this guy... :D
I think it all comes down to... well, everything. My sailboat has been off the coast of a small city (~6000 people) on the Washington Olympic Peninsula for a few years now. I can go ashore any time, I have a cargo bike and a motor vehicle. Plus I can just pick up and sail to, say, Seattle. I can usually find what I need here in town. I don't use Amazon, and I try to avoid delivery services when possible. In my experience, the hardest ingredients to find locally are almost always shelf-stable. So I will have a friend in Portland OR or Seattle WA pick up a bunch of things for me at one of the huge Asian groceries, package that up, and mail it to me. If it's perishable, like fresh noodles, I'll arrange all a long day of restocking, then go all over the place to get things I need.
On Omura's website, he usually discusses reasonable substitutions and omissions in pretty good detail. This is an example of my comment about how the site and book are complementary. He even has a whole page on his site dedicated to alternatives and "don't try to swap [Y] for [X]." https://sudachirecipes.com/japanese-ingredient-substitutes/
If I'm reading you correctly, this is what Decentralized ID (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decentralized_identifier) aims to resolve, not just for social accounts. I wrote the initial DID implementation for my previous employer, but FIs, especially credit unions (our primary customers) were still a ways off from implementing it.
My familiarity with ATProto (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AT_Protocol) is extremely shallow, but as I understand it, ATProto can use DID. Hopefully someone else will come along and provide more info or correct my error.
I deeply empathize and sympathize with the challenge. I also failed to choose "congenitally rich" at birth, and I hope to remedy this error on my next iteration.
But seriously, I grew up very poor and left my abusive home at 16. I was homeless twice. Once in my late teens and again in my mid-20s. Not "crashing on my friends' couches" homeless, but rather "living in the woods and dumpster diving for food" homeless.
I bring this up as empathy by way of anecdote, and also as acknowledgement of my immense luck and privilege. I know that reaching a place of relative comfort is fucking hard in our modern environment. What's an even bigger pisser is that cost of living is stupid, the systems required for modern life are expensive, and the attacks on our attention, focus, health, and well-being are legion.
So it comes down to: is your position yet painful enough for you to want to do something about it?
