Meat and veg contain nearly no carbs though. Insulin is the "key" allowing for cells to uptake glucose, aka carbs, from the blood to make ATP. So a rise in ones blood glucose after a meal of just meat and veg doesn't exactly make sense. I'm type I, so my islet cells have been killed off by my immune system, meaning I can't produce insulin. Type II is associated with the cellular insulin receptors not working as efficiently, which the body attempts to fix by increasing insulin production. Unfortunately, this increased metabolic demand leads to dysfunctional islet cells over time due to the prolonged cell stress. I know it's a small thing, but diabetes is an invasive disease and the more you know, the better control one can maintain! Maybe check the sauces used in the meat and veg meal? This is likely the source of the carbs leading to the high blood glucose level after eating.

Well said! We figured it all came down to the membership aspect of the business, as well as their huge breadth of services offered. This results in them just wanting to get people in and out rather than fight customers over "trivial" transactions.
My brother found that sourcing his ADHD meds from Sam Club has been super hassle free. If you didn't know, they legally must allow anyone to use their pharmacy, regardless of membership! Most states also require them to sell booze to everyone too. But hopefully your sister can give this a shot and she'll get similar results.
Limiting the impact corporations have on the environment via legislation is one highly effective way. But I'm just a person from the 89% of the population with this stance. So asking me isn't all that useful. Asking at the demonstrations in a manner which takes account of each response is a much more logical way to help figure this out. Additionally, there's definitely organizations who've done a lot of work here and have plans drawn up on these matters.
If all 89% of us took part in demonstrations, that'd be a great start. Those pushing back would eventually break from the pressure.
I use a Iron Fox on mobile with uBlock, so I don't get pop-ups, but thanks for the heads up. Does your mobile browser have reader mode? If so, enabling it as the site loads is a great workaround for this.
Ya, RPM Fusion is handled by a 3rd party I'm pretty sure. But I was thinking more along the lines of what software is available though.
I'd have to think RPM Fusion is comparable to the AUR, no? I've never used Arch btw, but I do know Fedora pretty well.
Well said! The aspects you highlighted here are great points to make when it comes down to the lab made conversation. If it was apples to apples regarding only mutation, I see SARS-CoV-2 having an edge. Yet, influenza has an ace up it's sleeve known as reassortment. This compounds it's already substantial mutation rate. Reassortment arises during the co-infection of different influenza viruses and produces novel variations 46%-86% of the time. Reassortment is attributed to influenza's segmented RNA genome, which is a pretty rare trait across viruses. This is basically influenza's mutation multiplier and keeps it ahead of the curve across the board.
To be alive on this planet means we’re constantly in an evolutionary arms race to remain alive. Our adaptive immune response (T-Cells and B-Cells) was the answer evolutionary to mammalian viruses. Meaning, the “toll” our immune system takes is literally why we have it. From a virology and immunology standpoint, it’s understood viral infections lead to dysregulation as viruses are parasites with one goal, hijack our cellular machinery to reproduce. As far as opportunistic infections are concerned, that’s also in the same boat. The immune system is distracted, so it’s not as focused on playing defense. But, we’re all at risk of opportunistic infections simply by taking antibiotics, even with zero environmental influence. As far as comparing the mutation rates of influenza and coronaviruses, influenza wins hands down every time, it’s not even a competition. Influenza is a single stranded -RNA virus, while SARS-CoV-2 is a single stranded +RNA virus. So basically, out the gate, influenza has more opportunity to mutate as it’s required to bring its own polymerase to infect a host, while the other is ready to rock when it shows up. This provides a lot more opportunity for influenza mutations, no if, and, or buts. Additionally, both influenza and SARS-CoV-2 are enveloped respiratory viruses, so neither really has an edge here. Moreover, there is absolutely no question that when a virus first jumps species as a result of a mutation, it’s much more fatal. Yet, mutations are random, so it’s a role of the dice at best. Depending on the virus, a certain amount of the “offspring” will always be non-infectious because of this gamble. But a virus needs us, so killing us also kills it. This is why they're more fatal when it initially jumps species. Lastly, persistent infections are seen in both SARS-CoV-2 and influenza. Granted, more so in the former, as influenza’s been around for ages, so our immune response is much more wise to its tactics. I don’t mean to talk down here at all, this is just a field I’m VERY familiar with, so I wanted to help you hone in your understanding on the topic!
I have an old Fedora book which still has a Fedora 15 disk in it! Helped me realize on old PC's to burn the ISO onto a DVD for installation instead of finding a work around for not having a USB boot option in the BIOS.
Standard Notes is phenomenal, it's FOSS and privacy focused. However, it does require setting up a free account to use. This account allows you to access the notes from any device, so totally worth it!
