Quote In the future, your vanilla ice cream may be made from plastic bottles. Scientists have figured out a way to convert plastic waste into vanilla flavoring with genetically engineered bacteria, according to a new study. Quote

abarbarian Posted September 4, 2021 Posted September 4, 2021 Whole Milk Mounts Its Triumphant Comeback Quote “I think consumers were fed this lie by what I call the Goop Industrial Complex that if you cut dairy from your diet you will have more energy, clearer skin, and you will never ever fart ever again. But the case against dairy ignores many of the complexities of our food system, and I think people are starting to realize that.” Yeah well I was never suckered into buying skimmed milk I have always used full milk.An I have always used real butter too. Quote
V.T. Eric Layton Posted September 4, 2021 Posted September 4, 2021 I always buy whole milk, also. Unfortunately, compared to the milk I grew up with in the 60s, today's "whole milk" is so watered down, it's almost skim milk. Quote

Unfortunately, compared to the milk I grew up with in the 60s, today's "whole milk" is so watered down, it's almost skim milk. Must be an American rip of then as we can still get proper full cream milk. I think in the supermarkets we have about five or six different types of milk with varying amounts of cream taken out.

Pete! Posted September 7, 2021 Posted September 7, 2021 (edited) It might be the result of modern processing. They separate the cream, and add it back later to meet the specification for the product. For whole milk the cream is reintroduced until the fat content reaches 3.25%. Depending on your former source, it may have come out of the cow(s) with a higher percentage.

Source: https://milk.procon.org/how-milk-gets-from-the-cow-to-the-store/ (Scroll down to "Separation") Pretty much the same here. https://www.dairyuk.org/our-dairy-products/ Quote Most milk is also homogenised. All homogenisation does is to break up the fat globules in milk so that it mixes and doesn’t separate and rise to the top. Homogenisation is done by passing milk under pressure through very fine nozzles which evenly disperse the fat globules. Milk is also standardised, so that your whole milk, semi-skimmed and skimmed milks have the right amount of fat in them. This is done by removing the cream and then adding it back in, in precise amounts, to make whole milk (3.5% fat or more), semi-skimmed (1.5-1.8% fat) and skimmed milk (up to 0.3% fat). Some brands also offer a 1%-fat milk and a rich Channel Island milk, which comes from Jersey and Guernsey cows, containing 5% fat that has a visible cream line. Others offer milk that is not homogenised. Organic milk comes from organic farms, which must be registered and regularly inspected by an organic certifier. I grew up next door to a farm. One of my tasks was to take a jug to the farm and bring home two pints of milk taken from the bulk tank every evening. This stored and chilled fresh milk from the cows that had been milked a hour or so ago. So it was not pasteurised or filtered or mucked about in any way. I can not recall anyone in the family or on the farm ever getting ill from drinking this fresh milk. It were a delicious drink specially matched with fresh bread made by my dad and luverly home made strawberry jam. Ah them were days. Quote

Bond would love to have one of those gadgets. The above is based on this science, Seeing Around Corners Using Lasers and Imaging "Captures images of objects around corners and behind obstacles Light scattered back off of hidden target used to reconstruct a 3D model of the target Involves scattering laser light off of surrounding objects onto a hidden target Many potential benefits for autonomous vehicles, public health, and medical imaging A direct line of sight between an object and a camera or detector is typically needed for every imaging application except for extreme cases such as light bending due to gravitational lensing in astronomy. But for the most part, imaging applications are limited to light propagating in a straight line. However, that is starting to change as some cutting edge research is opening up possibilities to image around corners and around obstacles. A combination of lasers, sensitive cameras, and computational reconstruction methods can be used to detect objects hidden by obstacles by scattering light off of surrounding objects." Quote
abarbarian Posted September 13, 2021 Posted September 13, 2021 The disastrous voyage of Satoshi, the world’s first cryptocurrency cruise ship A fascinating story for cruisers or crypto currency fans. Quote Then, in October 2020, it seemed his dream might finally come true, when three seasteading enthusiasts bought a 245-metre-long cruise ship called the Pacific Dawn. Grant Romundt, Rüdiger Koch and Chad Elwartowski planned to sail the ship to Panama, where they were based, and park it permanently off the coastline as the centrepiece of a new society trading only in cryptocurrencies. In homage to Satoshi Nakamoto, the pseudonym of bitcoin’s mysterious inventor (or inventors), they renamed the ship the MS Satoshi. They hoped it would become home to people just like them: digital nomads, startup founders and early bitcoin adopters. Quote
