"Brady has cut out tomatoes, eggplant and capsicum to avoid inflammation"

Re: https://www.organicfacts.net/health-ben ... sicum.html

"8 Powerful Health Benefits Of Capsicum"

"The health benefits of capsicum include relief from stomach issues, back pain, muscle spasms, headaches, skin aging, peptic ulcers, menopausal problems, lower risk of cardiovascular diseases, and diabetes management. It has anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties, and may also provide relief from pain related to arthritis. They are an excellent source of vitamins A and C, among other nutrients."

A good hint that specific dietary foods is best advised by nutritional experts.
Brady's good health probably involves much more than his dietary preferences.

"$15 minimum wage would cost 1.4 million jobs and risk higher inflation,
but lift almost 1 million people out of poverty"

Intriguing math: 1.4 million jobs would be lost,
but 1 million people would be lifted out of poverty!

The 1 million would then support the 1.4 million?
or the 1.4 then collect unemployment pay?

"Woman who set her hair with Gorilla Glue plans to sue the company after it burned her scalp
and led to a 22 hour ER trip which has failed to remove the product"

Actually, the Glue did not burn her scalp - acetone used to attempt removal did this.

"Gorilla Glue released a statement about the 'unique situation' on social media Monday,
saying the label states: 'Do not get in eyes, on skin or on clothing' "

Apparently, "Gorilla Do" needs to be an explicit No-No in this product advertising.

"Average ‘gamer’ is full-time professional and dad-of-three"

"Those who enjoy computer games are more likely to be family men, property owners and commanding a salary in excess of £40,000 a year. And although men are more likely to be partial to a bit of Call of Duty or Fortnite, 41 per cent of women class themselves as ‘gamers’ – although they are more likely to play solo on mobile phones, rather than consoles. Male gamers prefer to spend their leisure time in first-person shooter games or playing virtual sports, while women like strategy and puzzles the most."

Incidentally, anyone who gets their information from the internet is a "gamer" ...
who tries to sift accurate and reliable information from all the "stuff" out there.

"If you’re an Instagram user, then there is a fairly good chance that you’ve seen at least one 'before' and 'after' photo, showcasing a star or influencer’s body transformation. While the app is notorious for this kind of content, some of them can be impressive and even inspiring while others are lacklustre, pseudo-transformations used for marketing purposes."

From today's email ...

"A mix of freezing temperatures and precipitation threatens to paralyze wind farms in Texas. That would be devastating for power plants with contracts to provide a certain amount of electricity at specific times if they need to instead buy it on the spot market to meet their obligations. At the moment, that power is exceedingly expensive."

“When wind-turbine blades get covered with ice, they need to be shut down,” said Joshua Rhodes, a research associate who focuses on energy at The University of Texas at Austin. "About half of Texas’s wind turbines were inoperable Sunday morning because of ice and cold. Yet those that are running are cranking out more power than forecast for this time of year", Ercot’s Woodfin said during a briefing.

Perhaps wind-turbine blades could use some of the generated power to heat the blades in icy weather ...
at least sufficiently to minimize ice accumulation.
