There’s a suggestion that raising the temperature of your food deep freeze by 3 degrees C could save a huge amount (the article suggests 17 megatons) of CO2 annually. Setting the thermostat from -18C to -15C, it’s suggested, will help the climate crisis. And look – that is NOT the main point of the research…
“Gastro.” It’s a bit of a joke – right? Oh all those people with the runs! Ehehehe… Unless it’s you. And in this case, it is. Well, me, at any rate. On one of the worst weeks for it to happen, for us. Wife had two surgeries booked for the week, (which we got her…

Why Are We Still On FB? It’s become a pile of stuff (euphemism) and basically assaults us using psyops and propaganda, and is now blocking news from Canada and Australia. So why have we not moved on? I like The Conversation, it’s an alternate news resource like The Guardian and The New Daily that offer…
Supermarkets justifying record profits because of the many employees they have is bullshit. Supermarkets are “criminal.” It’s not just me saying it, it’s more or less official now.
