K…I don’t know about ‘learned’, but this is just too freakin’ weird not to post somedamnplace.
that sucks. Good she is recognised now. Reminds me of that movie of the ladies involved in the space race engineering.

That's why i prefer 69.
Who is the king of mathmatical weirdness that discovered this?
This begs the question, when is the next date that has a sum of 68?
And how often does 68 occur as a date sum. Pretty often is my lazy guess.
Vegans have a 200-250% increased risk of hip fracture compared with meat eaters.
Vegans and Bone Fractures: New Findings and Best Practices for Keeping Bones Strong
“
New findings from the EPIC-Oxford study in the U.K. have raised questions about vegan diets and bone health. In this study, which included around 55,000 (mostly white) subjects, vegans had a 43% higher risk of fractures overall compared to nonvegetarians, as well as higher risks of hip, leg, and vertebral fractures.
The biggest difference was for hip fractures; vegans were more than twice as likely as people who ate meat to break their hip. Vegetarians and pesco-vegetarians (their diets include fish but no other meat) also had a higher risk of hip fracture, although not as high as vegans. Among the vegans, risk for fracture seemed to be greatest in women, especially post-menopausal women.
The vegans in this study had lower intakes of calcium and protein, two factors that are crucial for healthy bones. But again, lower intakes of these nutrients explained the findings only in part. When the analysis considered only subjects with calcium intakes that were at least 700 mg per day and protein intakes of at least 0.75 grams of protein per kg body weight per day, vegans were still more likely to experience a fracture.
….Finally, the study did not look at the relationship of vitamin D or vitamin B12 intake to fracture risk. Low intakes of both these nutrients are linked to poorer bone health.
Even if we don’t have all the answers about why vegans in this study were at higher risk for fracture, we can make recommendations about what vegans (and non-vegans) can do to protect bone health. It’s tempting to embrace the popular principle that vegans will automatically meet all nutrient needs by consuming a varied plant-based diet, but it’s not true. Some nutrients require attention in vegan diets.”

There are both Scottish bagpipes, and Irish bagpipes.
https://musicalinstrumentpro.com/wh...between-irish-bagpipes-and-scottish-bagpipes/
"The two most common bagpipes in the world are the Scottish and the Irish bagpipes. The Scottish bagpipes are most common and what most people think of when they think of bagpipes. Irish bagpipes look and sound different. What are the differences between Scottish and Irish bagpipes?
The main difference between Irish and Scottish bagpipes is that Irish bagpipes normally have two drones – tenor and bass – while the Scottish bagpipes have an extra drone. Scottish bagpipes are blown by the mouth and Irish bagpipes by inflating the bellows."

About napalm: jarringly, Howard Zinn was a bombardier flying missions over the Falaise Pocket, France, dropping what was soon to be understood as napalm from 30,000 feet, towards the end of the war in Europe.
Begs the question, When Was Napalm First Used …?
Begs the question, When Was Napalm First Used …?
"Invented in 1942, napalm saw combat for the first time in Sicily in August 1943, when American troops incinerated a wheat field believed to shelter Germans. In the Pacific, U.S. soldiers first used napalm on December 15, 1943, in flamethrowers used to burn Japanese defenders out of a cave on Pilelo, a tiny island northeast of New Guinea."

I did not learn this today, but someone needs to hear it:

Was baking cookies the other day and needed to 2/3rds a recipe. Started doing weird fractions. Turns out there are 3tsp per tablespoon. Way easier math then I thought. Been eyeballing it for years. Ya I can be a dumb-dumb sometimes. They were great cookies though!
Without samples, it is impossible to believe.
Twas my first attempt at cowboy cookies, but they disappeared in a matter of days and are officially "master baker girlfriend approved," so I'm gonna call this one a win. Might swap out walnuts for pecans on batch number two. And go even smaller. Two thirds of a batch made 5.12lbs of dough. These things are dense! I could post a pic of my slightly fatter stomach but I don't think that's the kind of proof y'all are looking for. Here are the makings of tomorrow's batch:
You know, I'm only about an 11 hour drive away. What time are those cookies supposed to be done? I'll be there.
Today I learned that my mom can't have surgery for her thyroid over producing calcium because her heart valves are calcified and creating a big murmur. Yet she can't have surgery for the heart valves because she has too much calcium in her system. I don't know. I got to learn more about it but that's the gist of it. I think she said they were just gonna just let her fade out so to speak.
Sorry to hear. My mother 'faded away' last year. I don't know if her bowels were perforated before or during hip replacement surgery, but it kept getting reinfected and she would not have survived another surgery.
Sorry to hear that prognosis.
I had one of my parathyroid glands removed about a year or two ago, due to similar issues with calcium being absorbed from my body and going into into my bloodstream. I'd never even heard of parathyroids until then. Sounds like a similar condition. Here's hoping for the best for your mother.
We have a (retired, but still baking for personal desires) master baker in the family, my BIL.
Wait... Are you the master baker or is your girlfriend a master baker?
Your BIL is a master baker?
Never mind my snickering here; I am a 14 year old at heart.
