> He was not biased in his decision hiring her in the first place as she was one of the best qualified and they hadn't started their affair yet.

But the articles says this:

> Expressen writes that 21 others with extensive police experience applied for the position of head of intelligence, but that Staaf had no police experience.

Doesn't appear that she was one of the most qualified.

> Whitehead, a convicted felon, is known for his close relationship with New York City Mayor Eric Adams and his ostentatious displays of wealth.

> Adams introduced Whitehead at a concert, calling the pastor “my good friend and good brother.”

Not surprised about his relationship with Adams. Nepotism and cronyism are par for Adams' course.

> According to Inkolo Kantu Traditional Organisation spokesperson and traditional expert Loyiso Nqevu, once a water monitor lizard or bees enter a home, it is very important for the family in question to spring into action and look for answers from traditional healers to get a better understanding of what type of ceremony needs to be performed.

I think the foaming wasp killer spray ceremony needed to be performed.

I still have my Palm Pilot... Fully functional. The little compact makeup beauty mirror on the back of the slider still gleams.

Welp, based on these data (or any available data) it's hard to make recommendations regarding what might be a problem on a societal level, and making those recommendations on an individual level is nearly impossible.

My take on this study however is that the authors intentionally made an extraordinarily exaggerated intervention and then measured short term effects.

That's the secret recipe for a huge effect in your study results.

What's not clear from this study is whether what the authors describe as stress of high fat (moderate carbohydrate, moderate protein) diet produces a permanent detrimental effect that will kill humans or make their lives more miserable faster and earlier than a low fat diet.

So, given that people have healthfully enjoyed many different macronutrient compositions throughout human history, I don't believe that their exaggerated-for-effect short term intervention in a non human species that canonically eats low fat is relevant to our lives.

Why didn't traditional indigenous Inuit suffer insurmountable barriers to reproductive success if this short term effect is relevant to humans?

Meh.

They're sure dramatizing the stress part. It seems that there wasn't any impact on the intestinal villii architecture.

And anytime an organism or organ system undergoes a radical environmental change, that is a stress. Responding to a radical environmental change requires a dramatic revamping of the expression profile and often the translation support systems.

Is it really surprising that radically changing the type of proteins which are produced, especially when that change is towards proteins that will operate on substrates, of a completely different hydrophobicity, produces an increase in heat shock proteins and UPR?

There didn't seem to be any detrimental consequences at the end of the day. But touting that collision won't garner more funding for the next round of grants.

What's really interesting is this...

> Moreover, we measured the energy expenditure (EE), which measures total energy required for homeostasis.19 Within the first day, EE was increased

Someone tell Kevin Hall.

Oh the irony

You didn't read the article.

They clearly provided direct quote of his crazy claim.

> “I need some police protection immediately,” Cirigliano can be heard telling the 911 operator. “It is of vital national interest. It is related to September 11, and people want to erase me from the face of the Earth.”

Maybe spend less time posting more time reading.

That's because by the time you get old you've already seen everything under the sun and 'been there, done that'. Or at least have been exposed to something roughly equivalent, so the perceived novelty is lessened.
