We gave vitamin K agonists to rats to prevent clotting causing them to bleed out. Not vitamin D

Reply to comment by jupitaur9 in For marginal occupations licensed by U.S. states, the welfare costs of licensing exceeds the benefits, as workers have to expend resources to obtain the license and consumers pay higher prices. [The study looks at professions that require license in some states but not others]. by smurfyjenkins
That can be covered in a few days or weeks of training, not the months some states require.

I think some things do need to be licensed such as electricians and plumbing. Mistakes are too costly for owners or insurers.
But beyond basic hygiene class I don't think barbers or beauticians need to be licensed.

Reply to comment by BrotherAdultMan in Extensive accumulation of misfolded protein aggregates during natural aging and senescence (2023) by basmwklz
To get autophagy going which is shown to clean up cellular debris you need to fast at least 24hrs. So the normal intermittent stuff which works for blog glucose, etc, isn't long enough for this.

Reply to What's your estimation for the minimum size of global population required for preserving modern civilization with advanced technology and medicine, and even progressing further? by Evgeneey
Whatever the current population is at that tech level.
For example. Zombies wipe out 90% of humanity. Well we're back at locomotive and sailing ships based on the population of that era.
Some of the simpler high tech stuff or knowledge may survive ( such as knowing about sterility for surgery, electric motors, wind power ) but other stuff just can't be done.

It's specifically LDL and the size of LDL particles that determine risk. Small LDL particles are the largest risk.

A year ago I was at a playground and some tweens were playing on the equipment and one boy said "I think I like boys" and everyone was like "yeah that's cool".
No one cared.

Yes, and phone autocorrect strikes again. It's gotten overly active on Android and unless I catch it, things slip through.

Dairy is one of the few decent sources of odd-chain length saturated fatty acids which seem to provide most of the benefits.

Reply to TIL about anti ninja floors in Japan. They were purposefully made to squeak as to alert people of intruders. by tpb01
No they weren't in most cases. It was an accidental side effect of how they were built and subsequent wear. The floors used a metal clip to hold down the boards and these were nailed into the runners. Over time the nails would loosen slightly allowing the metal clip to squeak.
Later on people liked the sound and found out how to reproduce the effect. The whole anti-assasin reasoning was added later.

The biggest protein negative is red meat ( pork is considered red meat ) as it's inflammatory. The same isnt true of fish or poultry. Of course farming these has their own issues as well.
You can buy whey protein produced by modified bacteria now

If you have TB of storage, which Google lets you pay for, that means you can't use most of it, at MB per file...
Google premium offers 2TB, 5 million files means every file needs to be at least 500k to make full use of it.
