Indeed. It’s been a while since they made an appearance.

Separate the whites and yolks. Make a sponge cake or something out of the whites.

In a tupperware container, put down a thick layer of salt. Then place the yolks close but not touching on that layer of salt. Cover everything with salt. Leave it out at room temperature covered but with the ability to breathe. The yolks will harden and dehydrate. You can now use them as a Parmesan substitute in salads, pastas and other things.

If you want to step things up a little bit make sense and cray powder or chili powder (American Curry powder) with the salt to impart some flavor to the yolks.

There’s nothing wrong with a hard egg sandwich. Little bit of mayo. A little bit of mustard. Maybe a tiny bit of horseradish and some dill. Put that on two slices of bread.

–

You can make ice cream. Egg sugar, salt, cream.

–

If you don’t anticipate running into another surplus then you can get some food grade lime and waterglass the eggs for long-term storage as long as they are not washed. If you bought them from a store In America then do not do this. Only do this with farm fresh unwashed eggs.

I run a hard surplus on eggs so I do not do this because I know there will always be more so I’m not looking for ways to save them but ways to you use them.

Breakfast burritos.

Do you have any urine and wood ash? Maybe it’s time to bury some eggs in the backyard.

Puppet Heathcliff is a basically an alter ego for Heathcliff. There are only about 10 appearances. And they are usually Iggy telling someone what the puppet is communicating. I know this doesn’t really help explain anything that might be the joke here. But at least you have some context.

Nothing. For Sunday’s I create new Heathcliff content as penance for removing him the rest of the time.

Never thought I’d see the day when the Vatican would take a “We can’t prove anything is supernatural” position. This is a big day for skepticism.

For a 2000 year old institution this is a big move. I’ll take any win I can get out of them.

Roundup acid? Now there’s a phrase I’ve never heard before. Depending on if it’s buffered or not Roundup can have a pH of 3.5 to 9. But it’s not the pH of glyphosate that makes it an effective herbicide. I’d probably not use that phrase in the future because it’s a distraction that undermines your point.

You ever see an article about a “this changes everything” study but when you look at the study you start seeing all kinds of problems?

There is an untested assumption here. Just because glyphosate is present doesn’t mean it’s having an effect. That’s like when we found aluminum plaques in Alzheimer’s brains and assumed the aluminum was causing it.

I know that this article mentions new research showing DNA harm. This is counter to all previous studies so it will require a bit of replication to confirm that. The study they are depending on doesn’t do a very good job showing it. The DNA damage they focused on was exclusively oxidative stress [OS] and at least twice that I saw they suggested looking to see if this could be counted with antioxidants. I expected it to be mentioned once because I had the same idea myself by the second time I had to fight the impulse to check and see if this was funded by Big Antioxidant.

Prior studies have shown that if you give super doses of GLY to sperm that it does effect motility for up to an hour, but a) this hasn’t been shown in realistic dosages or in vivo. Just in vitro. b) hasn’t shown to effect DNA. I don’t think this study did a good enough job of countering the prior data. As can be seen in these key graphs below. c) they only tested for GLY. By not testing for anything else they get to attribute all variances to the one thing they tested for when it could have been something else. That alone should disqualify the study from being taken seriously without replication with better controls. This is exactly the kind of thing that gets weeded (no pun intended) out in replication and where Regression Towards the Mean rears its omnipresent head.

Only infertile couples were selected to be in this study. That creates a Texas Sharpshooter problem. There is no control group. Without s control you don’t have a valid study.

The study found that eating an organic diet had no impact on GLY levels. That’s worrying. Either their tests failed to find a difference, the study participants lied about their diet, or GLY is everywhere in the environment (both cities and farms). The study does not tell us how it was determined that the people included that only eat organic are, in fact, organic only eaters. It doesn’t tell us if this was a check box or observation. If it was a checkbox what was the wording? Because self reporting and question design is important. “Do you eat only organic?” “Do you eat only certified organic?” “Have you had an diet that consist of only certified organic foods for at least 6 months?” Those are all going to give very different answers and because they didn’t find any GLY variation between organic and non-organic diets the way they determined who had an organic and non-organic diet really matters.

There is definitely some shadiness going on with GLY. Bayer said that it was going to stop selling GLY to filthy casuals by January 2023. It is still very much for sale and shows no signs of going away.

Two asides.

1. according to this study being a smoker has a much larger impact than GLY. Given that a third of French people (all subjects in the study were French) smoke this seems like a much bigger concern than GLY.
2. The antinatalist in me is kinda fine with the whole situation because if it does actually reduce births then, sarcastically, this is a self limiting problem. Eventually there won’t be enough people to mess things up and this is just a tool to get us there. The unspoken premise behind this study is that not having kids is bad.

I got it in 2010/2011 and I think it was about $14. After inflation that works out to about $20.

Wireless power but it doesn’t have WiFi so it has a data cable for the Roku plugged into a router and DVD player that both live in the TV stand.

Taste is subjective. Some people just don’t like absurdism. That’s fine.

Garfield minus Garfield was a curated collection instead of an ongoing daily thing. Garfield minus Garfield was to show how existential things can get. This is nothing like that. This is showing that the comic is almost exactly the same even without the titular character.

Whether it’s entertaining or not is subjective.
