This diet is based on Dr. Roy Taylor’s research on Type 2 Diabetes, and its reversal. He and his team noticed that people with T2D have fat in their liver and pancreas. They confirmed this with a new MRI imaging technique that they developed. Regardless of body weight, if you have fatty liver/pancreas you have T2D or at least pre-diabetes. But, if your liver and pancreas are healthy, you can be overweight and not have T2D.

They call it the twin cycle hypothesis. Google it up, but short is this. If fat builds up in your liver, it starts a cycle that among other things causes the liver to send fat in to your pancreas, which starts another cycle in the pancreas, which feeds the liver’s cycle. As the pancreas gets more and more fatty, the insulin producing beta-cells begins to de-activate, which leads to T2D.

They wanted to test whether this hypothesis is true, and if so, is T2D reversible. How to do that? Their T2D test subjects must loose weight. What’s the fastest way to do that? Extreme caloric restriction.

They put their subjects on a diet consisting of 4 doses of meal replacement formula per day (800kcal/day). Their subjects noticed that it’s actually quite easy to stick to that diet after couple days.

The results of their studies is that if people loses enough fat to free their pancreas from fat, their pancreas can heal and return to normal, reversing T2D. But, there is always a but. If T2D has been going for too long (over 6 years in their studies), too many of the beta-cells have died, and full reversal of T2D is not possible.

Note: Extreme caloric restriction is very dangerous if you are on T2D medication. Do your own research and talk to your doctor. I tried to use correct terms so it’s easy to check the things.

Finland indeed is UTC+3 (EEST, East European Summer Time), so your times seem correct.

Remedy is making Codename Condor which is a co-op multiplayer game set in the Control Universe, namely in the Oldest House.

From Remedy’s business review JANUARY–MARCH 2024:

Codename Condor, a part of the Control franchise, moved to full production meaning it has reached the final development stage before a game is launched. Based on wide internal playtests, we can see that the core loop is engaging, and the game brings a unique Remedy angle to the genre.

From Remedy’s business review JANUARY–MARCH 2024

Codename Condor, a part of the Control franchise, moved to full production meaning it has reached the final development stage before a game is launched. Based on wide internal playtests, we can see that the core loop is engaging, and the game brings a unique Remedy angle to the genre.

Control 2 team has focused on finalizing the proof-of-concept stage, in which the game world, game mechanics and visual targets are proven. We expect the project to advance to the production readiness stage during the second quarter of 2024.

Max Payne 1&2 remake continued in the production readiness stage. The game is expected to move into full production during the second quarter of 2024.

Codename Kestrel continued in the concept stage. The team works to refine the game concept.

Or just wait for the reviews, and then the next sale. These Steam sales aren’t one-off special offers, they happen a few times every year.

He’s the savior of our planet!

Hopefully! It can’t come soon enough… unless they rush it, I suppose. But that’s usually not Remedy’s style.

I had a similar thing happen to my smooth PEI sheet. Forgot to change sheet profile before printing and printer made some noises during printing. At first thought that the sheet is damaged, but after several days noticed that the sheet is actually fine. The noise was the extruder skipping because there wasn’t enough room for the material to go anywhere, and the lines on the sheet were just a very thin transparent layer of the material. Difficult to say from the images, but the lines seem to have the texturing intact? That implies the sheet is fine. The thin lines are difficult to remove without damaging the surface, especially because you have textured sheet, so you can’t use any solvent like acetone.

Are you sure the surface is damaged, and not just some material stuck on the sheet? Looks to me just a very thin layer of material on the sheet.

Are these correct things? https://www.printables.com/model/657754-ps5-slim-replacement-feet

Fan Control is great. Like you mentioned, the possibility to create mix fan curves is really helpful. For example, if either CPU or GPU gets hot, you can set all the case fans to ramp up. There are good guide videos on YouTube that shows how to set it up.

Most teas don’t expire if stored correctly. Green teas should generally be consumed within a year from the manufacturing date.

Would using a teapot with an infuser have a similar effect to a gai wan?

To brew tea or coffee, you need about four items/things:

• A method to heat water to a proper temperature
• A vessel to do the brewing in
• A method to separate the tea leaves / coffee grounds from the liqueur
• A cup to drink the liqueur from

If you want to try to gongfu brew it with what you have at home, you can use some kind of smallish vessel (about 150ml), like a coffee mug or small water/milk pitcher (make sure it can handle boiling water). Use something as a lid-like object to keep the heat from escaping and helping to pour the liqueur while keeping the leaves in the vessel. A big spoon might work, if that’s all you can figure. If you have any kind of fine mesh filter (or just coffee filter paper), you can use that to keep the leaves from getting to your drinking cup.

Beat me to it. But I’d like to add that white tea is usually brewed at 90C, which is about 194F.

There are two common styles of brewing tea, western and eastern. Western style uses less tea leaves for an amount of water and the brewing time is longer. Eastern style, commonly known as gongfu style (can also be written kungfu), is more leaves per amount of water and shorter brews. Gongfu style also lets you brew the same leaves several times, while western style spends the leaves in one brewing.

If you want to gongfu brew it, I recommend about 5g of leaves for 100g of water. White tea doesn’t go bitter that easily, so you can just brew it until it’s good for your taste buds. You can start from 10-30s for the first brew and then add 5 second for every successive brews. Adjust as you see fit.

To break the leaves from the cake, use some long thin metal object. Screwdriver if that’s all you have. Avoid cutting it, unless that’s the only way to break it.

Google Translate gave this result:

Wouldn’t it be easier to use modifiers instead of cutting the model?

If you google something like ‘7680hz led’, you’ll find many results of products and such. 7680 is a multiple of 20, 24, 30, 60, among others, which are all common frame speeds for video files, but also for recording video. I also found this video, which shows the difference of large size screens with different refresh rates: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JP6fHWcUifo

There’s a new similar phishing attack thanks to Google and their .zip domain. Web browsers support a feature that lets you use addresses of the form protocol://username:password@domain.tld. That feature allows you to log in to domain.tld with the given credentials. When you combine that with Unicode forward slashes, you can craft addresses that look like https://microsoft.com/files/@windowsupdate.zip, where the part between https:// and @ is a username and the part after @ is the actual address most likely used for malicious intends. My example uses normal slashes, so will lead to Microsoft’s website and page not found error. windowsupdate.zip is a domain someone has registered, but leads to no-where as of today. PSA: Don’t go to random web addresses you find on the Internet or elsewhere.

I once heard this story about a company, that had a server room. The room was locked so no-one could get in without permission, which is a good practice. At some point, they started to wonder why one of their servers becomes unreachable every Friday at X o’clock. Eventually, they figured out that their new cleaner entered the server room every Friday and unplugged one of the power cables to plug the vacuum cleaner in to the outlet.
