I hope they improve their incident response comms in the future. 2.5 hours with nothing more than "We are continuing to investigate this issue" is pretty poor form. Their past history of incident handling looks just as bad.

This is partially addressed in CSIRO's FAQ: https://research.csiro.au/futurefeed/faq/

In summary, FutureFeed is working with several external suppliers to establish production. They expect to be able to improve the crop production over time.

One thing of note is significant reductions can be achieved with quite a low ratio of seaweed in the feed. Specifically they report that recent feedlot trials demonstrated over 95% methane reduction with seaweed inclusion at 0.20% of OM in the ration.

I've heard the term biblichor used as a name for the smell of old books. This is derived from the words Biblos: book Ichor: the fluid that flows like blood in the veins of gods

This was inspired by the term petrichor.

I personally enjoyed (and was certainly impacted by) many of the books that I was forced to read during high school. The most memorable ones for me all fell into the "modern classics" category - To Kill a Mockingbird, Animal Farm, 1984, A Clockwork Orange, Lord of the Flies, Brave New World, The Diary of Anne Frank, and so on.

Yes this is correct. In fact even without a paid subscription you can access all files that have been added to a Slack through the web UI (myslack.slack.com/files). You can't see the related messages, but all the files (images, snippets, etc) are available as one big list.

I've been using Docker on Windows for well over 2 years. It was certainly difficult setting it up on Windows in the old Docker Toolbox days (circa 2016), so perhaps the authors experience is from then.

Since the Docker for Windows client was released I've had no problems at all. (In the interest of full disclosure there were a couple of early beta issues that were quickly fixed, however that's to be expected).

Well probably not as a joke, but it's within the realm of possibility that it was moved there at some point in the past. This is pure speculation of course, but perhaps it was identified as a sacred object and carried there by a traveller sometime within the last couple of thousand years. However the likelihood of that is probably quite slim.

In the books I've written I added references to movies that I liked as part of the examples. I remember including a "PC Load Letter" error message as a homage to Office Space. Other examples were more obscure, such an address or phone number of one of the characters in the movie.

Ideally you should use FODMAP as an elimination diet to determine what food's you react to. I went though it a couple of years ago and discovered that onions (and large amounts of garlic) will give me IBS symptoms. I'm fine with everything else on the FODMAP list. I know others that have discovered they are sensitive to fruits such as apples, pears, etc.

I don't know anyone who has stuck to a strict FODMAP diet long-term.

I've done a fair bit of reading around policy-based authorization but have never heard of PADME. For the life of me I can't find anything about it in any Google searches. Can you point me at a reference for any information about it?

You can certainly use UHT milk to make cheeses that don't contain rennet such as paneer, ricotta, and quark. Some argue that you can't make good quality versions of these cheeses with UHT milk. From personal experience, I've made quark with UHT milk and it seemed pretty good quality to me.

I do get excellent results making yoghurt with UHT milk. It's also a simpler process as there is no need to heat the milk first before adding the starter.

'Curbing the epidemic: Governments and the economics of tobacco control'[1], World Bank, Washington DC, 1999, pp. 37–45 and C Gallet and J List, 'Cigarette demand: meta-analysis of elasticities'[2], Health Economics, 12/10, 2003, pp. 821–835.

According to a systematic review of studies of tobacco elasticities the average price elasticity for teenagers was -1.43 and -0.76 for young adults. As such, a 10% increase in tobacco price could be expected to decrease the tobacco consumption of teenagers by around 14%, and that of young adults by around 7.6%.

The revenue of taxes isn't specifically allocated in this way in Australia. Another way of looking at it, the federal government doesn't specifically dictate that x% of the health budget must be allocated to subsidising the healthcare of smokers vs non-smokers.

That may be true for children, but surely adults who have obtained a basic level of education should be able to decide for themselves.

Of course the question this leads to is "what is thr basic level of understanding that people should have in any given topic"?

In Australia it costs $38 (US $29) for a twin-pack of Epipens under our Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme. We can also buy a single pen privately without prescription for $99 (US $75).
