Li’l help, Spidey?

Can you help me in my mission to just get rid off all the references to nicotine?

Talk about the Devil’s Lettuce...beelzebub’s oil...

I’m guilty of sucking that drug into my body for almost 40 years!
I will not play a role in promoting it...no way, no how...

We're in for a treat: Welcome rain is on the way — but where?

​

We got about 10 mins of really heavy rain. Then nothing. Then a light drizzle over night. Better than we have been getting for a long time.

For anyone interested, the NASA / Boeing Starliner capsule launch pad-abort test is going to be live streamed. They're live now, with the test window between 9:00 AM-Noon EST:

Vapid correlates.

Vaping is just as harmful to human health as cigarettes, and even has the potential to cause lung cancer, scientists at the University of Tasmania have found.

The world-first study, published in the European Respiratory Journal, compared cigarettes and vaping on human cells, and found both equally toxic to the lungs.

"When we stimulate the cells with these new gadgets, they switch on to produce cancer-related proteins," Dr Sukhwinder Sohal, from the University of Tasmania, said.

Dr Sohal advised against GPs recommending vaping to their patients.

"The cancer proteins are a big signal that we should not be promoting these as a safer alternative for people who want to do smoking cessation," he said.
Doctors at odds over value of vaping, as study finds it's just as harmful as cigarettes

Shame. What to do? I give up.​

That I haven't paid attention to automotive engine technology. I learned that there is an ignition coil for each cylinder on my engine ('03 Avalon) that fits over the spark plug. One of them failed yesterday and of course it was on the back of the engine...

Article states...

"Some of the chemicals in e-liquids have been linked to cancer but it really depends where you're getting the solution from," Dr McKay said.

"We can certainly have regulation that stops those chemicals being in the liquid but at the moment it's like the wild west, you have no idea what you're getting."

Be a discerning shopper and know what you’re putting in your body.

Walking... how many steps do we need to do?


https://www.smh.com.au/lifestyle/he...and-how-many-steps-to-do-20191104-p5379y.html

“people who hit 8800 steps a day average 30 per cent less time in a hospital than those who manage half that.

So, how much do we need to do?
Think we need to do 10,000 a day? Wrong. This widely adopted "pearl of wisdom" is actually a bit of PR genius from a Japanese pedometer company in 1965. An arbitrary number, there is no scientific evidence 10,000 steps is a magic number that will bestow benefits on us.

Public health guidelines promote at least 30 minutes of moderate-intensity exercise a day, which Invalid Link Removed.

"The bottom line is there is a continuous relationship so the more steps you do, the better," says Professor Olds. "If you go from zero to 2000 you get a big improvement, if you go from 2000 to 4000 you still get an improvement but not as big and it's ongoing from there ... People like a number but the reality it's this continuous smooth curve."

Is walking better than any other form of exercise?
Not exactly.

"The best things for you are things that are more intense like running. If you look at all-cause mortality – one minute of running is about 3.5 minutes of walking," explains Professor Olds. "The intense stuff is almost always better than the less intense stuff, it's just not everyone can run and not everyone likes to run.”

"Walking is something everybody can do. You can build it into your life," Professor Olds says. "Walking will get you there, it will just take a bit longer."

There's a flute bird up the road who learnt the family dog's name and calls for her whenever the family cat gets too close. Talking magpies, grieving tawny frogmouths and canny galahs make the world go 'round.

Do you have anything more to say about it?

I’m always looking for new ideas that are good for me.

Spinal Tap's Derek Smalls Brings Mock-Rock Back at the Wiltern — Variety

 

[mongo2]

I learned two things today...

Thing 1:

If I use a higher seat (in this case a height adjustable drum throne with a tractor seat) it alleviates some of the pain I feel on my stroke effected right side when playing.

Thing 2:

I have recovered sufficient control of my right hand that I can now play my favorite Hofner Ignition Club bass in spite of it's very close string spacing.

Very happy and grateful for both.
