Lot of truth in that though to be fair the 'page three' tradition (the inclusion of an image of a half-naked female on page 3 of a tabloid newspaper) finally ended in 2019. https:/…

Takes a few minutes to heat raw oats with milk to make porridge. Add some fruit and you've ticked a lot of the boxes for a proportion of a day's required nutrients as indicated by USDA and s…

I understand the sense and to what end the term populist is often used but to what extent is a political party that wins an election, a populist party given that it's the most popular party? Do…

Is this the UK or US edition? It's always easy fun to have a go at the Daily Mail which presumably you read regularly else you wouldn't be commenting. Its sin seems to be that it's not …

"China, the United States and India — contribute 42.6% total emissions, while the bottom 100 countries only account for only 2.9%.". Asia is the largest emitter with China at 27%". Whil…

Not a bad idea for the first and maybe the second movement. The third is definitely for advanced students. Nevertheless if you have command of a few basic keyboard skills, learning to play a passage o…

Not to make money? Is that true in the US? London UK does just that. In toto, the London Councils (2018-2019) took in more than 700 million pounds and spent around 270 million running the service.

'So you are not honest, self sensoring and betray science.' ... is a giveaway. You haven't read or understood what the author saying. Your other comments betray your willingness to swal…

Not so subtext: 'No need to read any more then'.

Good point but anecdotally I think there is something here. Most of us have the experience at some point in our lives when an unusually-encountered smell evokes an event or earlier period in our lives…

Not relevant at all but perhaps of comparative interest to some: the British average 2023 yearly income is sterling equivalent of $37,000.

I wouldn't be. A lot of people have worked hard on these numbers over the years. I'm guessing the limitation on supplements assumes a good diet (no shortage of advice from USDA on 'good…

I'd not come across this term before. Odd (for me) to see a special term used to describe something that I see in almost any story reported across a range of publications on any one day.

True of course. I've seen estimates of about 10% (your link quotes 11%) of children (i.e., 90% of children don't have it) but the obvious question is on what basis what the diagnosis made? Y…

I'm wondering what -arguing physically- might be.

Yes, terrific books. Absolutely recommended. I look forward to celebrating his 100th birthday. If you've not come across him The Vision of the Anointed would make for a interesting introduction…

No, it's clearly a heads-up for the book 'COBALT RED: How the Blood of the Congo Powers Our Lives'. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Cobalt-Red-Blood-Congo-Powers/dp/1…

Both.

'Short distances' ? Plenty of exceptions. 'Be my love' - a massive hit in 1950 popularized by Mario Lanza (and used in the film Heavenly Creatures) begins with an absolutely charac…

In this context, if genuine, this seems odd to me. https://twitter.com/ChuckCallesto/status/1689484345281478656 Not to be outdone, if you've not seen it in the UK we&#x…

Many people agree with you. Here's a question though. If you observe what they do as against what they say, it's clear that governments in major economies do not share your and their concern…

As I understand it, in China people are 'left alone to build a prosperous society through emergent behaviors' provided the State knows what you're up to and you don't get involved …

I presume you're joking else you probably should - as an act of propitiation for your sins. 'Toxic effects of lead exposure on bioaccumulation, oxidative stress, neurotoxicity, and immune re…
