i have to do a rather extreme version of salt reduction (<= 1500mg a day) but it's surprisingly easy once you start tracking it and cut out the worst offenders. you miss it a lot the first couple months and then your palate adjusts. there are a lot more low/no salt products on the market now too.

I suppose most low-salt foods are ok but low-sodium soup tastes like a bowl of dirty dishwater

That chart you posted, the one I quoted above, displaying proportions of the different variants in Washington State, was marvelous.

Where exactly did you find it? I've been over the Washington State DoH website, and I've never seen anything like it there.

Or did you generate it?

I generated it. Compiled sequencing and PCR case data from GISAID (only those sampled from WA state) and WA DoH, respectively. Pulled out variants of note, topped it all off in an Excel stacked area graph.

There's enough data to do the graph by day rather than week, but by week is easier to digest and maintain.

the canned stuff is awful but you can make your own pretty easy with low salt stock and it�ll taste fine

my dad talks about how when he was a kid with the flu, grandma would give him a spoonful of paregoric and put him under a massive quilt, then 18 hours later he�d wake up feeling great. the 60s were a marvelous time.

According to my mother, when I was 3 years old and going in to get my tonsils removed, the doctor used cocaine as a local anesthetic. Apparently I was insufferable afterwards.

For those struggling to replace salt, I discovered spicy fills the gap in the palate rather nicely.

The only problem is I'm learning some of my favorite spicy subs have a ton of sodium. Looking at you gochujang and sriracha

I haven't been paying much attention to Covid recently, but am I right in assuming that the recent lifting of restrictions is just Capital relegating further covid deaths to the Cost of Doing Business? Like, in addition to all the ways Capital already kills people, now it kills people with Covid and that's how it's gonna be?

I'm also going to assume that anyone not wearing a mask in a public space can be safely assumed to be a plague carrier with lib-brain disease.

Tabasco has 35mg of sodium per tsp cf. sriracha's 100mg, which makes it a decent substitute.

Yes and yes. An extra 500,000 Americans will die every year, most of them elderly, and Social Security will save trillions.

You mean ONLY and extra 500,000 Americans as opposed to the millions who would die under lockdown due to sadness so we're doing nothing but winning here.

The good news is that you don't have to worry about your retirement as much anymore.

Re: exercise chat, I got a pair of threaded/screw-on dumbbells made to load with standard plates but I've been eyeing an adjustable set. Any recommendations?

I'm really happy with these.

(Only small complaint is that the advertised 2.5 lb increment creates a minor center of gravity issue due to asymmetry.)

I was lucky enough to jump on a free shipping deal, but there are other models on Amazon and at Dick's too that might be a bit cheaper and where you might not have to pay for shipping (fwiw, Amazon seems to have an issue with accidentally only shipping one dumbbell sometimes).

Here's a good guide that compares a bunch of the different models.

When I was three years old my parents took me to a new doctor. He sterilized whatever he was going to look in my throat with with a lighter (what the hell) and I thought it was going to burn my mouth. He told me if I didn't open my mouth and stop fidgeting he'd never let me see my parents again.

We examine whether this racial bias is related to false beliefs about biological differences between blacks and whites (e.g., �black people�s skin is thicker than white people�s skin�).
(..)
Study 2 extended these findings to the medical context and found that half of a sample of white medical students and residents endorsed these beliefs.

50% of medical students sampled in 2016 thought that black people have fewer nerve endings or thicker skin or better eyesight than white people
