  • Hmmm, I wonder if they’re conflating processed foods and red meat again?

    Yep:

    Eating processed red meat (such as sausages, bacon, hotdogs and salami) was linked to a 16% higher risk of dementia and a faster rate of cognitive ageing. Eating about two servings of processed red meat a week raised the risk of dementia by 14% compared with those who ate less than about three servings a month. (A serving is a piece of meat roughly the size of a deck of playing cards – around 85g.)

    If people substituted processed red meat protein for that found in nuts, tofu or beans, they could reduce their dementia risk by 19%, the study found.

    A review of studies, published in 2023, found that people who ate lots of ultra-processed foods (of all kinds – not just processed meats) had a 44% higher risk of dementia





  • Unfortunately, having a job is horrible for your privacy. You’re required to provide full personal details to be hired to an employer with dubious security who forces you to sign up for accounts with likely either Microsoft or Google. Depending on your position you either need to use your personal phone for work (and your work accounts are easily tied to your phone), or carry a work phone with you, which you have even less control over than normal.

    That isn’t really helpful.

    I think to your original question, it’s more about sanitizing what is published. On LinkedIn and Indeed. Whenever possible apply directly through the website. But everywhere is going to require similar levels of personal information. As far as being worried about spam; using another email account is probably easiest. You don’t want to risk missing an important email while you are looking.



  • I don’t have many answers, but a couple more things to think about:

    The fixture needs to handle the increased heat and wattage.

    If you’re using something built in, the switch also needs to handle increased wattage.

    Most of the above are probably not designed to handle “dimming” to control the heat.

    Electric blankets might be a good starting place

    Also, LEDs are generally about efficient production of light with less heat waste; I don’t think it’s likely to meet your needs.

    I think it’s a cool idea, please let us know if you’re successful!
