Of course, but we know that the earth can go into an ice age, it has done often, so its far more dangerous. The equivalent warming hasnt happened so is less likely to occur and so less of a danger.

Again you are falling prey to immature speculative non science picked up on and hyped by the media.
There is no evidence at all that melting ice has desalinated the north atlantic and caused a gulf stream variation so it is an entirely UNreasonable assumption.

I didn't say it was a joke; I said I was taking the piss.
Quote: "The only thing we can be certain of is that it probably won't"
1. That's the kind of "Believe me Believe me!" logic-screwing bollocks that only an idiot or a schoolteacher would talk.
2. I am not an idiot, and I'm certainly not stupid enough to be a schoolteacher.
3. Therefore, I am taking the piss out of the bollocks that such people talk.
However, if I really wanted to take the piss, I could say things like:

Saying something like that to someone like me is a genuinely embarrassing thing to do.
Do you even know what the words "However, it's reasonable to assume" and "could well result in" mean?

Why even bother taking part in a conversation if you arent being serious? And you should know that however clever you think what you write is, it is lost in CP and the internet in general.
Emabarrased? No, just bored with your usual head up arse crap.

Nothing causes or prevents anything - the whole field is due to the placebo/nocebo effect.

I a sure being hit by a car is going to cause something and it isnt gong to be fixed by a placebo.

I just read an article this morning that you should stay clear of foods that produce acidity in the blood, such as parmesian cheese, because they inflame the inside of the arteries, which helps in cholesterol build up.
|

Meat too is acid producing, veg is alkali producing. Yet nore stuff to worry about....
I just go the good old no sugar diet. Meat, fat and veg, in propper proportions, with fish making up a lof of the meat part.
And red wine of course.
|
|
|
|

I agree. I did read though that most fish are in the middle of the scale for acidity. Pick and choose, i suppose.
Moderation is a good tool.

I get heart burn if I eat too much meat, so its pretty easy for me to stick to fish and veg. Easy to do too, a nice sauce, bit of fish. ONe of my favourites is a kind of scallop coral bisque sauce with salmon en croute. I put butter, sea salt and lenon rind on the salmon then wrap it in the thin pastry. It freshens up the over plate and contrasts the rich bisque sauce well. Prawn bisque is too rich for this dish though.
Serve it with boiled waxy spuds, green beans, and sone spinach, and its easy Michelin style cooking!
(The bisque saucce is a complicated one to make though unless you do it often enough, but the result is sublime, truly.)

Sounds good, but the bisque sauce sounds unhealthy, only because most flavor, not all, comes from fat.
|
|
|
|

Fat is perfectly healthy, but there is little fat in it actually. It is a well browned mirepoix, flamed with brandy, then white wine, fish stock, tomato pure, taragon, scallop coral and finished with some cream, not a lot, but enough to give it gloss and body. (a bit of flour helps the body too)
If you do the prawn (or lobster/langouustine version) replace the scallop coral with the heads/shells at the mirepoix browning stage. Its very rich though, goes well with monkfish for example but a bit heavy otherwise.

I stand corrected.
So when is dinner?

Its an exclusive restaurant, only open to a select few.

Correlation does not imply causation.
Repeat...
|
|
|
|
|

Another type of implication I'm seeing way to often is:
Blod clots consists of cholesterol, so you shouldn't eat food with cholesterol.
That's about as correct as believing that you turn green from eating vegetables.
|
|
|
|

Yeah, its utterly ridiculous, but it doesnt stop such simplistic associateions being accepted as fact.

Beat me to it. I have a feeling the connection is more something like this:
high salt intake -> poor diet in general -> lack of exercise -> fat lazy git -> heart disease

I believe you're spot on.
But in that case, why do I have a low blood pressure?
|
|
|
|
|
You've got other factors that counter poor diet or lifestyle - age, genetics, or both, for example.

I'm diabetic and have good blood pressure. My doctor still is amazed at this phenom. Evidently, "most" diabetics have problems with blood pressure at some point.

Cool idea!
There is something ready for iPhone:
https://github.com/dcgrigsby/MicBlow[^]
if I have time I could try to make something for Android just for the kicks.
The method is described as:
"The noise/sound of someone blowing into the mic is made up of low-frequency sounds. We’ll use a low pass filter to reduce the high frequency sounds coming in on the mic; when the level of the filtered signal spikes we’ll know someone’s blowing into the mic."
