Thumbs Up Good news that Covid doesnt increase risk of myocarditis.
Posted by: C_T_Russell - 11-11-2022, 10:09 AM - Forum: Covid-19 - No Replies

Covid infection did not increase incidence of post-covid myocarditis or pericarditis.
Published data here from reliable sources.
https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35456309/

Dr Campbell also done a video about it.

  Commodore VZ 2005 head gasket leaks
Posted by: gyrogearloose - 10-11-2022, 12:26 PM - Forum: Motoring - Replies (3)

Overheating, constant misfire, exhaust gases in the coolant.

My mechanic is talking $3K upwards for new gaskets on both banks, is this in the right ballpark?

  The saboteur
Posted by: Lilith7 - 10-11-2022, 11:03 AM - Forum: News and Current Affairs - Replies (2)

Rather a bizarre case ; he seems to be as barking mad as his brother. Perhaps he was slightly unstable & the  lockdown caused by covid just pushed him over the edge.

https://www.stuff.co.nz/national/1303964...r-saboteur


"Graham described his father as a tyrant, who he and his brother lived in fear of upsetting. He also wrote that he believed his upbringing contributed to his brotherÔÇÖs actions in Melbourne.
When he was 19, Graham became a devout Christian, which he later claimed had cured him of schizophrenia. 

A wide-ranging suppression order prevents┬áStuff┬áfrom publishing the specifics of his crimes, other than to say it involved a series of attacks on critical public infrastructure in late 2021, which ÔÇô if successful ÔÇô could have had grave consequences.
It is unclear if details of the crimes can ever be published. But for the first time,┬áStuff┬ácan chronicle the radicalisation of Graham Philip, and how he became New ZealandÔÇÖs only saboteur.


In an April video, he claimed that vaccines were ÔÇ£designed by the Satanic cabal to kill off 90% of people in the worldÔÇØ, and feared that his adult children would die once they were vaccinated. In a post on Gab, a social media website, he said the vaccines would ÔÇ£kill billionsÔÇØ.

  Media obsession with 2-minute noodles
Posted by: SueDonim - 10-11-2022, 08:48 AM - Forum: News and Current Affairs - Replies (19)

There's yet ANOTHER article (https://www.newshub.co.nz/home/money/202...bites.html). At least for a change it's not Stuff - they usually seem to be in to this. I wonder if the reporters go around asking people if they buy 2-minute noodles and rub their hands with glee when someone says "Yes". Trouble is, even if they aren't directly laughing at the people, they must know that the rest of us will. And that it doesn't actually help create awareness of how some really are struggling.

If you are poor, 2-minute noodles must be about the last thing you would buy. Surely you would spend your last dollar on real food, eg wholegrain rice and frozen veges or something that provides some nutrition.

  Coffee or not to coffee?
Posted by: Oldfellah - 08-11-2022, 02:22 PM - Forum: General Discussion - Replies (22)

An expert on gut health has warned that caffeine first thing in the morning can be detrimental to your health.

Functional nutritional therapist Olivia Hedlund says a morning caffeine hit can wreak havoc on your gut and hormone health

So, what should you reach for instead of a cup of joe first thing in the morning? Hedlund recommends eggs, dairy, berries or stewed fruit like apples or pears before brewing a coffee.

Is this person a nutter? Got to have a coffee first thing to be able to function, cant see eggs and berries doing that.

  The Bashford Antiques Saga

I have just enjoyed an hilarious half hour reviewing the Spinoffs review of the Bashford Saga.

If you have time to waste away on the truly weird, it is a very strange story...

  Stop carbon farming now....
Posted by: C_T_Russell - 05-11-2022, 09:50 PM - Forum: Opinion and Politics - Replies (33)

Until a solution is found.
https://i.stuff.co.nz/environment/climat...te--report

I thought the govt was addressing these concerns, but we are still seeing farmland lost to invasive pines.

Any permanent plantings should be native only.
Why they wouldn't mill the pines and replant I have no idea anyway. That would even take more carbon out and keep stored in the timber.
