[00:59:19] <AzumaHazuki> protein from plastic...how the hell? you need a nitrogen source for that, amino acids have an -NH2 (amine) group at the end
[01:00:48] <kyonko> its gross, but a lot of burned plastics smell like fish
[01:01:06] <kyonko> melamine is a nitrogen plastic, a really toxic one like bpa
[01:01:19] <kyonko> its like bakelite
[01:01:51] <kyonko> i was really tongue in cheek when the anti-hitler riots in the summer of 2020 were burning unknown materials
[01:02:11] <kyonko> I would only use melamine cups or bowls for drinking water
[01:02:18] <kyonko> never subject them to heat or abrasion
[01:02:35] <kyonko> (because I can't do the spoon tongue thing cats and dogs do)
[01:03:13] <kyonko> I think the bpa shock has worn away these past 10 years, but I remember the media blitz
[01:03:45] <AzumaHazuki> i only ever cook in stainless steel or pyrex (if baking) and eat from ceramic...paranoid maybe but i feel great
[01:04:02] <kyonko> well yeah, but then again you can't stop aging
[01:04:13] <kyonko> aging is worse when you are a loner
[01:04:32] <kyonko> I really trust glass, as I can predict its properties :P
[01:04:43] <kyonko> then you always get a surprise
[01:05:25] <kyonko> glass is fun, you can melt it with a torch
[01:05:50] <AzumaHazuki> i made some good soup tonight: hulled barley and chicken legs in their own broth with carrot/celery/onion, made sure to sizzle some ginger and garlic first and season with sage, rosemary, and black pepper
[01:05:51] <kyonko> we have glass workshops for art in tucson
[01:05:59] <AzumaHazuki> simple, but really filling and healthy
[01:06:10] <kyonko> don't you feel funny eating such a great meal, alone?
[01:08:35] <kyonko> don't you ever think about all those poor people who can't feed themselves?
[01:08:41] <kyonko> they must be fed by an institution
[01:08:51] <kyonko> protected by a institution
[01:10:03] <kyonko> ugh NHK talking about japan's "shrinking population"
[01:10:27] <kyonko> as if heinous violence in brazil in mexico is caused by something other than overpopulation and cultural ignorance
[01:11:11] <AzumaHazuki> actually, my mother's here in buffalo now. we're sharing a nice apartment (well, nice by our standards)
[01:11:37] <AzumaHazuki> she's here for cancer treatments and we're splitting rent and bills, so i can help her around the house and make sure she gets good, healthy food
[01:11:41] <kyonko> how did you spend the snowpaclypse in buffalo back in the 2010's?
[01:11:54] <AzumaHazuki> i didn't, i moved here 8 August 2020
[01:12:08] <AzumaHazuki> this city is amazing. i wish i'd come here a decade ago
[01:12:19] <kyonko> heh, i'm too poor to move
[01:12:45] <kyonko> I spent most of the 2000's not worrying about internet speed and latest hardware
[01:12:55] <kyonko> after all, cable tv was good
[01:13:58] <kyonko> I was already living under covid lockdown standards 5 years before it happened
[01:19:29] <tedious> Oh hey.
[01:19:44] <tedious> I need to ask azumahazuki what to drink to thin your blood and if that's good for everybody.
[01:20:00] <tedious> I typed that yesterday after you left.
[01:20:40] <AzumaHazuki> keeping in mind i'm not a doctor: ginger thins the blood as does tea from the needles of red/manchurian or white pine (do NOT drink from other species! yew is horribly poisonous!)
[01:21:13] <tedious> What does it do for you?
[01:21:35] <tedious> And can't you just make sure you stay well hydrated instead?
[01:22:10] <AzumaHazuki> "thinning the blood" is a simpler way to say "slows the clot cascade." the spike appears to be causing damage by clotting in microvessels and capillaries and by causing mitochondrial exhaustion (increasing ATP use *and* decreasing its synthesis) via abnormal Ca2+ signalling
[01:22:28] <tedious> Oh.
[01:22:50] <AzumaHazuki> staying hydrated helps, but this is specific chemoprophylaxis. as always, ask your doctor before eating a lot of garlic, ginger, etc and check to make sure it doesn't interfere with your meds
[01:23:05] <tedious> This is because of the spike proteins isn't it?
[01:23:14] <AzumaHazuki> as far as the Salk intitute knows, yes
[01:23:24] <tedious> I don't take any meds now so I'm good.
[01:24:14] <tedious> And I should thank you again for reminding me that I need to pay attention to the sodium and potassium I'm getting.
[01:24:20] <AzumaHazuki> i also take 4000IU of dry (tablets, not oil-filled capsules) vitamin D3 and 500-1000mg of magnesium together. Mg2+ is the counterion to Ca2+ the same way K+ is to Na+ and stops the D3 from pulling calcium out of your bones and depositing it in a nice thick layer all over your vasculature
[01:24:38] <AzumaHazuki> no problem :) again: not a doctor, not medical advice, sample size of 1, haven't dropped dead yet etc
[01:24:59] <tedious> Not meds exactly but it has helped me freak out less from having my heart rhythm go all weird.
[01:25:30] <AzumaHazuki> oh, definitely. be very very careful with potassium though as too much will cause arrhythmia
[01:25:35] <tedious> What's the difference between dry tablets and capsules?
[01:25:39] -!- boru` [boru`!~boru@tymp-34-082-22-805.dynamic.mnet-online.de] has joined #soylent
[01:25:42] -!- boru has quit [Killed (NickServ (GHOST command used by boru`!~boru@tymp-34-082-22-805.dynamic.mnet-online.de))]
[01:25:44] boru` is now known as boru
[01:25:56] <AzumaHazuki> the capsules are suspended in some kind of low-grade oil and i suspect are rancid (peroxidated lipids)
[01:26:17] <tedious> Oh ok.
[01:26:51] <tedious> The problem with magnesium is all the good stuff is so expensive.
[01:27:17] <tedious> Magnesium oxide is cheap but it's a low quality supplement.
[01:27:28] <AzumaHazuki> i found a really nice complex for fairly cheap on amazon, hang on...
[01:28:11] <Bender> [SoylentNews] - Main Attraction: Scientists Create World’s Thinnest Magnet – Just One Atom Thick! - https://sylnt.us
[01:28:34] <tedious> I was thinking it might be cheaper to just by bulk magnesium oxide and feed it to edible house plants. :)
[01:29:49] <AzumaHazuki> https://www.amazon.com this is a good complex, and https://www.amazon.com is a nice single-chelate
[01:30:15] <AzumaHazuki> the glycinate is complexed to glycine, the simplest amino acid, which actually has a dedicated receptor and directly calms you down a little in doses like this
[01:30:57] <tedious> Nice.
[01:31:11] <tedious> Thanks I'll check it out.
[01:32:17] <AzumaHazuki> almost everyone's magnesium deficient. the soil is exhausted and the usual diet doesn't provide anywhere near enough. TBH i don't think you can eat enough to get it from food anymore
[01:33:34] <tedious> So much for my peabutbutter hack. :(
[01:34:22] <AzumaHazuki> PB is pretty inflammatory...omega-6 arachidonic acid is named for the peanut (arachis hypogaea) and is turned into inflammatory prostaglandins. which sucks because i love it
[01:34:34] <tedious> Yeah.
[01:35:22] <AzumaHazuki> oh, one other thing i've been doing is trying to keep my blood sugar from spiking. most of my carbs are pearl barley, hulled barley, whole or steelcut oat groats, or parboiled rice
[01:35:55] <tedious> I found something that talks about neutralizing the phytates in pb with vitamin c but I guess that won't help.
[01:36:15] <AzumaHazuki> yeah, the phytates aren't the issue...what a shame ><
[01:36:53] <AzumaHazuki> it's the specific fatty acid composition. n-6 and n-3 acids compete for the same metabolic pathways, and the eicosanoids produced by the n-3s are anti-inflammatory
[01:38:10] <tedious> What do you think about olive oil?
[01:39:05] <AzumaHazuki> it's one of only two oils i use. extra-virgin cold-pressed, and only on salad. it has a smoke point of about 325*F so it's not suited for most cooking
[01:39:18] <AzumaHazuki> supposedly it's very very good for you
[01:41:37] <tedious> Yeah I should try to eat more salad with olive oil.
[01:42:38] <AzumaHazuki> food's damn expensive...i've been trying to keep costs down by making a lot of dals (Indian lentil curries) and serving over parboiled rice
[01:42:39] <tedious> And avocado oil sounds good too but avocados are basically impossible to grow in the usa so it's all imported from far away.
[01:43:07] <AzumaHazuki> that's the other oil i use, whenever anything gets sauteed or fried. i don't cook with a lot of oil so a bottle lasts a long time
[01:43:08] <tedious> What do you mean by parboiled rice?
[01:43:32] <tedious> Is that cooked once and put in the fridge for heating up later?
[01:43:53] <AzumaHazuki> it's a special way of processing rice to make it last longer that uses high heat and weird pressure differentials. you get the stability of white rice with the nutrients of brown rice and lower glycaemic index than either
[01:44:07] <tedious> Oh wow nice!
[01:44:17] <AzumaHazuki> apparently the heat and rapid pressure spikes actually force most of the good stuff from the bran and germ layers into the endosperm
[01:44:48] <tedious> So just throw it in your instant pot and cook it fast?
[01:45:15] <AzumaHazuki> i'm not sure of the exact time it takes but the IP's kind of forgiving with it, yes
[01:45:49] <tedious> But white rice gets rid of the bran that contains most of the arsenic right?
[01:46:04] <AzumaHazuki> iirc the arsenic is pretty evenly distributed ><
[01:46:16] <AzumaHazuki> i tend to eat more barley and oats than rice for exactly this reason
[01:54:50] <tedious> Ok.
[01:55:09] <tedious> That should be the next thing I try out.
[01:55:46] <tedious> Do you have any thoughts on different kinds of beans as a staple food?
[02:45:36] <AzumaHazuki> hm...kidney beans are dangerous (phytohaemaglutenin) and need to be very thoroughly cooked. I like lentils better generally and black beans are my favorite beans proper
[02:47:28] <AzumaHazuki> i'd say get whatever is cheapest, but i've noticed lentils are both faster to cook and a lot more consistent. old beans don't soften and can take an hour in the IP sometimes
[03:13:36] <t3> isn't it better to cook beans slow to reduce the phytic acid?
[03:14:59] <t3> I often find the "all day" cooking fits better into the actual rhythym of life in general though

[03:31:26] <requerdanos> thanks for the steady flow of misinformation sources, though
[03:34:05] <AzumaHazuki> see, i don't put it past some greedhead megalomaniac to try to pull something like that though. it wouldn;t hold in court, but given what kind of psychopaths CEOs and similar are?

[03:40:55] <raxas> we are just at the beginning
[03:41:01] <AzumaHazuki> are you paying attention to what's being said to you?
[03:41:06] <raxas> no
[03:41:16] <AzumaHazuki> why the hell not?
[03:41:17] <raxas> for it's irrelevant
[03:41:49] <AzumaHazuki> um, how is "you said a thing, but the truth is actually not-the-thing and this is why" irrelevant?

[05:17:11] <tedious> I was worried about crispr when I first heard about it but it sounds like this mrna stuff is even worse.
[05:19:25] <AzumaHazuki> it seems to be human nature to futz with things that ought not be futzed with
[05:19:34] <tedious> Exactly.
[05:20:15] <tedious> It's like nuclear weapons but stealthy and 'self replicating.
[05:20:58] <tedious> Thanks for the warning about kidney beans.
[05:21:07] <tedious> Instant pot for the win. :)
[05:21:39] <tedious> Also you should be careful about lentils that have high arsenic levels.
[05:22:09] <tedious> Which is almost all of them except what's grown in Canada apparently.
[05:22:15] <AzumaHazuki> shit
[05:23:04] <tedious> Really we just need to find some kind of chelating agent that makes you pee out arsenic so we can stop worrying about it.
[05:23:33] <tedious> Maybe there's an enzyme that binds to it.
[05:28:40] <kyonko> thats not how biology works
[05:29:06] <kyonko> peeing out sugar is how people handle all their unused sugar and protein untill they cant
[05:29:12] <kyonko> pee sugar/protein
[05:29:33] <kyonko> then this rich pee will obviously produce a large population of unknown bacteria
[05:29:51] <kyonko> just like a ton of grain is a potential "ton of mice"
[05:30:03] <kyonko> mice are mostly water, so double the mice
[05:30:19] <kyonko> but few people have observed "mice @ work"
[05:30:55] <kyonko> its even more fun if gmo mice have escaped and bred in the wild
[05:32:35] <kyonko> mice are so small they hydrate from the food they eat, no need to evolve bigger

[14:54:56] <requerdanos> If you are asking yourself whether the problem is giant, or whether the goldfish are giant, you'll be pleased to know that the answer is "both"
[14:57:21] <raxas> in japan, those koi carps are considered a combatant fish, inspiration to warriors. in chinese mythology, spiritual core of gold carp is isomorphic to spiritual core of a dragon

[19:03:09] <FatPhil> I'm inclined to agree, Teckla. Why wouldn't some be? And if some are, you can't trust any.
[19:03:43] * Ingar whistles The X-Files theme
[19:09:52] * FatPhil packs both his passport and his vaccination passport - I haven't needed those for ages. Having a looong weekend from tomorrow onwards. Just Finland, nowhere exotic, but it'll be good to see some old places and some new ones.
[19:27:01] <Ingar> I should have been on vacation
[19:27:14] <Ingar> but then my backup landed in the hospital
[19:27:26] <Ingar> work it is
[19:27:56] <FatPhil> ouch
[20:35:54] <Teckla> It's not paranoia if they really are out to get you!
[20:40:20] * Teckla is also pretty skeptical of Tor
[20:42:46] <raxas> there is still one quite rational option: build a tiny company, provide vpns to both unwashed masses and yourself. when police/agency/whatever asks for lawful data, you will be the first to know a still could sweep the tracks
[20:46:15] <raxas> and if you be really wise, you hire servers in countries you currently hate, out of reach of your own government
[20:46:47] <Ingar> and then random service providers like me have access to your servers
[20:48:58] <raxas> that does not matter for political reasons. it does, for terrorist reasons. but you should know what you are already
[20:50:24] <raxas> if all you need is just some free movies, then... macao or tatarstan are good enough
