I noticed that the death rate from Covid-19 was very much lower in Germany. If there is a god let German beer be at least a partial vaccination!

Is it true that the Hunter Biden laptop had videos of Trump on the Epstein Sex Island?

@engineers_feed The water level lowers because the volume of water displaced by the weight of the brick in the boat exceeds the volume of water displaced by volume in the water.

This is Kevin Kelly.

The close friend Tim Ferriss goes to for advice.

He taught him a philosophy for life that made Tim stop giving a f*ck.

Here's the philosophy:

1. “Don’t take it personally when someone turns you down. Assume they are like you: busy, occupied, distracted. Try again later.”

To get what you want in life, ask a few times.

I had a phone conversation today with a very nice young chap from Pakistan. This is how it went:
"Hello, how are you today?"
"I'm very well thank you for asking, how are you and more to the point, WHO are you?"
"Madam, my name is Sanjit, and I'm calling you from Microsoft.”
"Microsoft, is that a city in Pakistan?”
" No Madam, MICROSOFT, the computer company. I'm calling to tell you that we have found a problem with your computer.”
"REALLY, that's quite concerning.”
"Yes Madam, it can become very serious indeed but thankfully I will be able to fix it for you.”
"No, I meant it's very concerning because I don't HAVE a computer.”
“You don't?"
“No.”
"Ahh, it must be a problem on your laptop Madam.”
"Don't have one.”
"Ipad?"
"Nope.”
"Tablet?"
"I have none of those things. As a matter of fact, I don't even have a telephone.”
After a few seconds of silence he said "Madam, you are lying to me now!"
I said "Well, you started it!!" and put the phone down.

Added a sketch to monitor various stocks to a custom 1.69” ESP32 board that’s powered by a USB-C wall charger. You can customize it for your own crypto or stocks tickers using the Finnhub api. Will be posting the open source design files and code shortly #esp32 #arduino #altium

Today in 1970, after several trying and difficult days, the Apollo 13 mission splashed down on Earth. It was a time of great relief, not only for us in the astronaut corps, but for all Americans, and indeed, our friends watching around the world. The steadiness of 13’s crew, and the dedicated, unstoppable support from the @NASA team on the ground truly transformed a potential disaster into a brilliant moment of heroism and achievement. We were so glad to have you all home, gentlemen.

It is with great sadness that we learned of the passing of Peter Higgs.

An iconic figure in modern science, Higgs postulated the existence of the eponymous Higgs boson in 1964. Its discovery at CERN in 2012 was the crowning achievement of the Standard Model of particle physics – a remarkable theory which explains the visible universe at the most fundamental level.

Today CERN pays tribute to Peter Higgs. Our thoughts are with his family and friends.

Up To 90% Of The Cheese Sold In America Is No Longer Made Naturally

“90% of the cheese sold in the U.S. does not use animal rennet and instead uses a genetically modified organism (GMO) version made by Pfizer”

They use a loophole to get around having to label all our cheese as GMO, Here’s how:

“90% of US cheese has now been infiltrated by one of the world's largest biopharmaceutical companies, Pfizer, and it has GMO's.”

Traditionally, cheese is made with just 4 ingredients, milk, salt, starter culture, and animal rennet, which is a clotting agent that's used to curdle milk into cheese.

Today, there are 4 different kinds of rennet used in the cheese industry, and reports are stating that the most commonly used kind is a genetically modified version called FPC, or a fermentation produced chymosin made by Pfizer.

These alternative rennets are both cheaper to use and speed up the aging process, which like always means greater profits. The crazy part is no one knows that they're eating this or how it's really affecting us.

Because this FBC rennet is labeled as GRAS or generally recognized as safe, it creates a loophole that exempt Pfizer or other companies from having to label these products as GMO.

And due to Pfizer's massive amount of wealth and power, it's now made its way into about 90% of our cheese.

But how is this affecting us? Because this is newer technology, we don't yet know for sure, but there has been a number of researchers addressing concern. After all, the only unbiased safety study used to approve these FPCs was evaluated by the short term 90 day trial in rats.

However, researchers are concerned about its toxicity or the biotoxins from GMOs as well as digestive issues for humans as these renin alternatives can serve as an allergen.

While I'd love to present you with a list of cheeses to avoid as well as the ones that are safe, there's just way too many cheeses out there. So if you can, look for the kind of rennet or enzyme used in the cheese. I would seek out animal or traditional rennets first, then potentially some vegetable rennets, and I'd avoid cheeses containing any microbial or genetically modified rennets altogether.”

More info:

This bioengineered chymosin (FPC) was granted Generally Regarded as Safe (GRAS) status. Meaning, Pfizer was exempt from the pre approval requirements that apply to other (non GRAS) new food additives. Since Pfizer demonstrated what is often referred to as “substantial equivalence”, the FDA concluded that bioengineered chymosin was substantially equivalent to calf rennet and needed neither special labeling nor indication of its source or method of production.

In case you didn’t know, this ‘GRAS’ label is a little hand wavy and just a big loophole…

In general, federal law requires the FDA to ensure that food additives are safe and mandates a rigorous pre-market safety review process.

But the loophole = GRAS.

43% of food additives are designated ‘GRAS’ and don't get FDA oversight. Essentially, we must trust that food companies will conduct unbiased safety determinations before adding these new GRAS substances to our food.

“According to the FDC Act, food additives that are non-GRAS need approval prior to marketing. In contrast, GRAS substances do not require approval or notification to the USFDA prior to marketing.”

Meaning the public and other regulatory agencies lack the data needed to assess the safety of some chemicals in our foods.
