@izakaminska@daveg the government should ban everything to make everyone 100% safe, because government knows best.
btw, did you get your 15th booster this year?
#Iraq is accelerating oil loadings at its main port and boosting shipments out of the Persian Gulf in the latest sign that the region’s top OPEC producers are getting more barrels through the vital Strait of Hormuz.
Observed shipments of Iraqi oil exiting Hormuz or loading at the country’s southern port of Basrah total about 7 million barrels so far this month, according to tanker-tracking data compiled by Bloomberg. That already matches the total volume of crude loaded and shipped in April and May, and follows a slew of departures of stranded tankers laden with Iraqi oil at the end of last month. #oott
@iselltops@erkoPollo@TheCryptoDaddi@grok Your definition of 'healthy' could be flawed.
As for GLP-1s, they can be a tool for improving health, but "doing the hard work first" is my way of saying "using peptides responsibly".
The mid to long term costs are not properly communicated.

@iselltops@erkoPollo@TheCryptoDaddi@grok Peptides are short chains of amino acids, which are the fundamental building blocks of proteins. I would hope you would be able to differentiate based on context.
@iselltops@TheCryptoDaddi@grok Your body has signals like hunger for a reason. As an example increasing sodium intake when deficient can greatly decrease your hunger.
I would advise most that are long term on peptides to do a bone density test at a minimum.
@biancoresearch I was referring to his current predictions, which include being bullish on SaaS stocks.
SaaS is here to stay [for the foreseeable future] is quite a bold statement.
That water clarity is an engineering decision, and the math behind it is wilder than the video.
Roman aqueducts ran on gravity alone. No pumps, no pressure systems. Engineers carved channels with a gradient so shallow it borders on absurd. The Pont du Gard in southern France drops 2.5 centimeters over 275 meters. That's roughly the thickness of a coin over the length of three football fields. They surveyed that accuracy with plumb lines and wooden leveling instruments.
The clarity you're seeing is a direct product of flow velocity. Too steep and the water erodes the channel walls, picks up sediment, turns brown. Too flat and it stagnates. Roman engineers targeted a slope of about 20 centimeters per kilometer, which kept the water moving fast enough to stay fresh but slow enough to stay clear. Before the water reached the city, it passed through multi-chamber settling tanks where velocity dropped near zero. Suspended particles sank. Clean water flowed out the top into the next chamber. Repeat three or four times.
Pliny specified the minimum slope in writing. Vitruvius published the exact mortar ratio for hydraulic cement: one part lime to two parts volcanic ash for underwater work. The pozzolana from Pozzuoli reacted with water to form a calcium-aluminum-silicate compound that actually gets stronger the longer it sits submerged. Modern concrete degrades in water. Roman concrete bonds with it.
Scale the whole system and it gets harder to process. Eleven aqueducts fed Rome at its peak. Combined output: roughly 1 million cubic meters of water per day. That works out to about 250 gallons per person for a city of one million. Modern New York delivers about 125 gallons per person per day. Ancient Rome had access to double the per capita water supply of the largest city in the United States, running entirely on slope and stone.
The Trevi Fountain in Rome is still fed by one of them. Two thousand years, same source, same gravity, same water.
@Bonecondor Cancer is a metabolic disease. Reducing a diet that is causing the cancer can slow the progression.
Buying time, but not solving the problem.
Check cortisol levels, or do a bone density test in a couple years.
