Following hard on the heels of the opening of the new cricket processing facility in Canada comes news of this potential exciting new market in Universities
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-12799637/warwick-university-meat-dairy-ban-fury-student-union.html
Mind you, if you read the article it demonstrates that a very small number of activists can get their aims pushed through because those who might oppose it are so lazy about voting. I think this applies to so many aspects of life these days. A single committed activist trumps 10 ‘got better things to do than vote’ citizens.
Add in the clever use of social media and activists, although small in number, can push through many things they might believe in.

There has been political science research on this and yes a very small percentage of the voting population if active can push through big policy changes. Squeaky wheel syndrome.

Meat and dairy are two of the major delicious products of modern Western scientific agricultural practices.
The Left are trying to ban or restrict them for non-Elites and have us regress to poverty food like insects and vegan as part of the general putsch to lower the standard of living of non-Elites.
They want us to be setfs/slaves restricted to the confines of open air jails known as “15 Minute Cities”.

…and Russia is jumping on the bandwagon.
A new food trend is emerging in Russia with the establishment of a cricket farm in Stavropol. Cricket flour, made from ground crickets, is gaining interest from bakers and diabetics due to its low carbohydrate content. This makes it a safer alternative for consumption, especially for those with dietary restrictions or health concerns.
The cricket farm in Stavropol feeds its crickets a diet of pumpkins, zucchinis, and other vegetables straight from the garden. This ensures that the crickets are healthy and well-fed, resulting in high-quality cricket flour. Currently, the price for cricket flour is relatively high, but if the product is registered, the price is expected to be only 20% higher than regular flour. This would make it more accessible and affordable for consumers.
https://bnn.network/lifestyle/food/cricket-flour-russias-emerging-food-trend/
Interesting how some reports say insects are good for type 2 diabetes, as they’re low in carbs, but others are pushing the high carb content claiming insects are broad spectrum nutrition.
Other study participants rate insect flour taste on par with dirt.
If only they’d be consistent with their attempted scam…

From the ‘Where’s My G!obal Warm!ng!’ files: El Niño Lost In Transition?
In complete contrast to experts’ [sic] fire and brimstone warnings, yet another cold blast from Antarctica slams NZ with near-freezing temps (and frost?) in inland valleys while the max temp for Wellington, Christchurch and Dunedin today is 14 C with a roaring southerly gale (wind chill 10 C, just like winter). Up north we’re going to swelter in a life-threatening 20 C max – but at least it’s warmer than Melbournistan!
With ‘summer’ only a few days away (calendar-wise, though I celebrate on the solstice) it appears El Niño is somewhat confused, or reluctant, or he forgot to put his trousers on and he’s still wearing a pink tutu… it was a Full Beaver Moon two nights ago after all. As Frank Zappa cautioned long ago: Don’t jive me with that cosmic debris.

Here in the low part of the high country its cold enough to wear a jumper inside. BoM tells us a high of 22c can be expected, currently the “feels like” temp is 10.4 C.
As spring crashes into a rather cold and disappointing change from winter to summer I’m hanging out for just a tad of warm weather to get the tomatoes ready by Christmas.
With not a flower in sight it looks like my chances are near zero.

Just for once I planted a couple in pots on the north-facing verandah. Somehow they survived cold, down to frost, cold wind, occcasional heat and hot wind and humidity. Seedlings grew better than usual there too but look leggy in their larger pots. They are flowering now! Maybe, for the first time ever, we might have a mini tomato or two! The last two seasons were disastrous for tomatoes for us. Ha! Bonsai tomatoes 🙂

I stand to be corrected, but in WA last year didn’t late Spring-Summer start the same way as this one so far. I seem to recall last year we had a very hot few days early on and then the rest of the summer was mainly very mild. Isn’t there supposed to be an El Nino now, yet it is pouring rain down the North, southeast and East coasts of the country. Be interesting to see how the rest of the summer goes.
50
Last summer in WA certainly was mild, with the temperature never reaching 40 all summer. After the burst of recent hot weather, nice to enjoy cooler cloudy weather now.
Have noticed in the last few years that during summer, less hot easterlies, with more cooler humid air coming up from the south.

Telco’s are killing 3G and 4G networks and could make 4G and 5G phones unusable
https://youtu.be/Q6qb9dml6So?si=WL_FuMMNi6Fgd-mw
While some people may be aware that 3G services will be gradually shut down, the vast majority will be unaware that this may affect their ability to make or receive calls on their existing and in some cases brand new 4G/5G devices.
4G/LTE and 5G technologies do not natively have voice calling functionality like 3G & GSM (2G) services. 4G and 5G are Data only and Calling is enabled through the use of VoLTE (Voice over LTE or VoNR for 5G [New Radio]), which is a software/firmware VOIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) solution for mobile phones (IMS services).
The issue is that a significant portion of 4G devices sold in previous years in various markets either Do NOT support 4G VoLTE Calling or ONLY support it with the Telcos they were purchased with, regardless of whether the device is network unlocked.
This issue primarily impacts Android phones and non-Apple devices.
With 3G (or GSM) still being in service customers don’t experience any loss in device functionality by switching to a competing provider. However, without the 3G (or GSM) services people will no longer be able to make or receive phone standard calls on their existing 4G device with their preferred provider.
Android is very fragmented from a software support side, however it’s fair to say that a majority of Android devices released around or before 2018 are likely to have either no VoLTE calling support or only limited VoLTE support on Australian Networks (Depending on brand, firmware, region etc.)
Devices from Android 4 to Android 9 (2018) equates to approximately 27% of the Android Device Market as per Google’s stats from April 2023.It’s almost a certainty that anything Android 6/7 and older likely doesn’t have any support or at best, only support with one Telco.
Further to that, the Optus (AU telco) website says VoLTE and VoLTE (International) Roaming should work on all Samsung Phones with Android 12 and above.
Android 12 was only released in late 2021 so people who have Android phones older than 2020/2021 are likely to encounter issues with either switching AU Providers or when overseas.
Devices from Android 4 to 11 make up 69% of the Android Device Market as of April 2023.
Google made major changes to the base Android Operating system for Version 12. Those changes improved how IMS (IP Multimedia Subsystem) Services are activated and by extension VoLTE Calling and RCS Messaging etc. This is the likely reason why Optus can say Samsungs on Android 12 and above are supported.
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1QaVDYnZCdI2jKk0-DEZmlKTP33rt1vARd5cKKDA1ObI/mobilebasic
VoLTE compatability anyone?
40
It is my understanding that Telstra’s shutdown of 3G calling has a guarantee that 4G capability for calling will apply in all locations where 3G calls could have been made.
Can we get a political guarantee of that?
with my phone I have 3 bars of 3G and none for 4G, though the latter works nicely “in town”
My 4G wireless internet has a Yagi antenna 10 meters above the ground.

Bill C-18 Overhauls Journalists Pay: Up to 116% Increase in Salaries Supported by Canadian Government.
In a recent budget announcement, Freiland Bitch revealed a comprehensive set of measures signaling significant financial support for Canadian journalists. The Trudeau government is set to cover a substantial 55% of journalists’ salaries, albeit with a notable twist—this aid is exclusively directed towards newspapers and news organizations deemed “reliable.”
Under the newly amended Bill C-18, the government has responded to News Media Canada’s calls for increased support by enhancing the Labour Journalism Tax Credit. Formerly covering 25% of journalist costs up to $55,000 per employee ($13,750), the fall economic statement outlines a more generous system. Qualified Canadian Journalism Organizations, encompassing both print and digital platforms (excluding broadcasters), can now claim 35% of journalist expenditures, with a higher cap of $85,000 per employee.

Why You See Fewer Bugs Splattering On Car Windshields Nowadays
Remember the days when a long drive in high summer would make your car’s windshield look like the site of an insect massacre? If you’ve noticed that this sight is becoming increasingly uncommon, you’re not alone. Ecologists have also discovered a decline in the number of bug splatters on car windows, and some believe that it’s a sign of the much wider “insect apocalypse” affecting our planet.
A survey by Kent Wildlife Trust in the UK found that 50 percent fewer insects were splattered on car windscreens compared to 15 years ago. The survey analyzed over 650 car journeys around the southeastern UK county of Kent between June and August 2019. The drivers were asked to report the number of insects splattered on their car’s registration plate.
Compared to a similar survey carried out by the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds (RSPB) in 2004, the researchers found the number of splattered insects had declined by approximately 50 percent, from an average of 0.2 splats per mile to 0.1 splats per mile.
The researchers wondered whether this decline in bug splats was actually the result of modern cars becoming more aerodynamic and less likely to suffer from a head-on collision with a passing insect, so they actively recruited classic car owners to take part in the survey. However, even while accounting for this, a significant decline in insects was evident.
https://www.iflscience.com/why-you-see-fewer-bugs-splattering-on-car-windshields-nowadays-70565
Actually, my windscreen is largely bug free these days too.
Splats per mile can now be counted in climate activists instead!
😆😆😆😆😆😆

You know that the last thing that crosses a bug’s mind when it hits a windscreen is it’s backside?

there are far fewer cane toad splats on the road too, but I’ve mentioned that before, sorry.
10
Some 2000 tonnes of insects are killed by wind turbines each year in Germany alone.
Add in that there are far more cars these days so each car is likely to receive smaller number of insect hits but collectively they will still add up to a large amount. Add the two factors together and insects are probably still out there but dying by different methods

One dose CRISPR therapy cuts cholesterol by up to 55%
High LDL cholesterol, a major heart disease risk factor, is inadequately managed by existing treatments like statins and injectables, highlighting the need for more effective solutions. Boston-based biotech firm Verve Therapeutics is developing what could be a one-and-done, life-long cholesterol treatment. The trial’s results necessitate further research to optimize dosing and ensure safety, especially considering the advanced heart disease in trial participants, two of whom died.
Pills called statins are the most common cholesterol treatment, but they have to be taken daily and sometimes cause intolerable side effects. Newer injectable meds can be administered just twice yearly, but those are expensive and not always covered by insurance. A healthier diet, meanwhile, can help, but that’s also very tough in practice for many people.
This therapy, called VERVE-101, is designed to deactivate a gene in the liver that controls the production of PCSK9, a protein that regulates the amount of LDL in the blood.
“There are people walking around who have the [PCSK9] gene naturally turned off,” Verve CEO Sekar Kathiresan told Freethink. “They have very low levels of cholesterol in the blood and are resistant to heart attack, so the company is basically built off of that insight.”
VERVE-101 permanently deactivates the PCSK9 gene in the liver by using CRISPR to change just one letter in its DNA. This technique is called “base editing,” and Verve’s trial is the first to test it in humans.
What’s new? In trials on monkeys, VERVE-101 reduced LDL levels by nearly 70% after just two weeks, and they remained low for 2.5 years.
https://bigthink.com/health/one-dose-crispr-cholesterol-cut/
But, but, but…high LDL is not a real problem, and never was. Inflammation is the REAL problem.
The liver makes LDL deliberately; it’s not a dietary consequence.
Just like the “fat is bad” lie started by the sugar industry decades ago, which just made everyone fatter and sicker as they consumed more sugar…
In the future, they’ll look back and laugh at the nonsense the medical profession believes now, as we now do for times gone by.

The Irish government is seeking to make all “unapproved” memes illegal
Ireland is seeking to make it illegal to store “unapproved” memes on devices like your phone.
Yes, it sounds like something out of communist North Korea, but what you probably don’t realize is that they’re already laying the groundwork for this same thing here in the United States, thanks to a case involving a young man by the name of Douglass Mackey. Now, let’s take a closer look at how this connects to what’s happening with the Irish bill.
In essence, if the bill is approved, it would mean that under Irish law, any political discussions labeled as “unapproved” and the act of saving “unapproved” memes to your device would become illegal. This isn’t just outrageous; it’s undeniably draconian. The Irish Prime Minister should be forced to resign over this tyranny.

Inflammation is the REAL problem.

Short answer is natural, nutrient rich foods, avoiding seed oils, highly processed foods, high sugar content, anything high G.I., excess Omega-6, grains, cereals and more.
Pretty much invert the food pyramid, and interestingly the proposed WEF future diet will be catastrophic for health.
Long answer warrants a rather lengthy detailed post…

More on coal’s place in the mix

“If the IPCC world wishes to reduce fossil fuels use, it is the primary energy sector they must concentrate on.
And if that is the case, what is to replace all those fossil fuels in primary energy arena? I certainly don’t know. Any suggestions?
So, if the IPCC is to rein in fossil fuel consumption in just the electrical sector, China and India (and in the future, Africa as a whole) must agree to not only stop building more coal-fired plants, but must begin to close or re-power the existing coal-fired plants. If China does so, it will adversely affect the economy of Australia which supplies some of that coal.
But switching to electric cars, heat pumps, solar-panels-on-the rooftop/batteries-in-the-garage, induction stoves and all ONLY affects the electrical sector – it does not even touch upon the primary energy problem – the majority of energy use in the world today.
As always, don’t ask me, I don’t know. I do have opinions:”

Some hiccup going on with the internet somewhere –
Several of my regular sites are coming up as “unknown” but then get “found”

Wow, that’s interesting!
I was watching a video today and a very short (blink and you’d miss it) comment was made about an unknown aspect (problem) associated with EV’s.
That’s weird and concerning I thought.
I’ve been doing some searching since and lo and behold, it’s not so uncommon at all!
As to what to make of it, that’s another matter. That’ll take more time, and probably decent scientific studies, if you can find unbiased researchers.
Let’s just say that EV fires are fast shaping up to be the least of your worries as an EV owner.
At this stage, I see 2 possibilities, neither good, either or both would be MAJOR problems for EV rollouts.
More as I find more info, worthy of a post.
