there are some gems in there that can encourage one to think of what they are doing, building for etc. what specific goals is one after and so forth. but nonetheless its not going to be a life changing document, just something to use as a passing citation in a newsletter that I run for a co-op I co-own.

figured out the problem, i did re-submit but guess that's considered a dupe. idk. still learning this site.
The hope would be that the system splinters. Those that want more data oriented system can have it, those that don't can remain in the past.
Other than that, Herbert L Fred's "The Tyranny of Technology" and that of his term 'technological tenesmus' comes to mind; https://doi.org/10.1080/21548331.1997.11443437
The secondary reason for posting is that most of what I post is a save for later access for my own use. I have other flag posts that I access in the same manner. So whatever floats your boat.
this is a pretty good start for raw milk (pdf). http://f2cfnd.org/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/newRawMilkProdu.... another good book is 'Keeping a family cow' http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/1021099243
There is a lot on youtube, instructional wise. Some of the challenges were more just the learning process. For raw milk itself, the mainstream society has a very different view on it. The reason why I went with it is a bit of a long story. My gastro wanted to switch my meds to a drug that would put me at higher risk of complications to even just the basic of colds. If that failed I was going to need to have my colon removed. Figured I'd take the gamble with raw milk. At first purchased it from a few farmers. After a few weeks on it my condition began to improve, a few months later I was in remission. A few of the farmers went under so I decided to get my own cows cause I have the land. I don't sell. I use everything I produce. I personally prefer a mix of breeds over just holsteins (edit; https://www.pelliclemag.com/home/2020/1/28/men-who-stare-at-...). I try to do everything so its biodynamic and add back to the land. Still a learning process.
“Natural infection exposes us to all the proteins of the virus – not just one like the vaccine – leading to a wider response by the immune system. Even someone who has a low level of antibodies will be protected by T-lymphocytes, a cellular protection – and given this response directed at more viral proteins, new variants will have more difficulty entering the organism” (1).
The quoted immunologist is on twitter and is relatively conventional (2).
I have attempted to research this specific line some but because there is so much skewing with searches right now I haven't had too much luck. Suppose partially why I share it in comment form is I never felt it was of quality for a post submission eg.. it's not the original source. I do think if that quote is accurate then the issue of testing for t cells et al to determine whether someone has been infected prior to vaccination might be a good way to go especially if the concluding remarks by Camara et al hold true in that "the second BNT162b2 vaccine dose results in a reduction of cellular immunity in COVID-19 recovered individuals" (3).
Both my brother and I have uc. My brother got the vaccination and developed a pretty bad flare up. My uc condition has always been a bit more severe than his. I know I have had the virus and even volunteered to help out months later when sister and her husband got sick and nothing developed on my end. Considering Akinosoglou et al hypothesis, "that, even though, COVID-19 vaccination does not provoke de novo immune mediated adverse events, it is possible that, the immunologic response triggers pre- existing underlying dysregulated pathways" (4), I have been wary of taking the vaccine with the additional knowledge that I had the natural infection. Luckily in that I am self employed and work from home, most of my shopping is done online even prior to the pandemic so I feel at least I'm well positioned to wait it out a bit longer until research down the road with less upfront bias emerges.

The first question is... what do I want? The second is the more complicated issue of getting it done. However it has always been a dream of mine since being a kid and watching the Home Improvement sitcom in the 90s.

either or, more often than not I use hn as just a place to save obscure links with the additional benefit of reading insights from others when the posts get noticed.
