sendfoodson Long-Chain Omega-3 Fatty Acids Improve Brain Function, Structure in Older Adults (2014)

Flaxseeds contain short-chain omega-3s, algae contain very long-chain omega 3s. Is anyone aware of another plant containing long-chain omega 3s in significant quantities?

sendfoodson Lufthansa’s European Union Strasbourg “shuttle”

The only reason the parliament even meets in Strasbourg is because France was upset. Because Brussels was chosen as the seat of the EU instead of Paris.

> safest, fastest and easiest method

Many thousands of companies had to move their communications online due to the pandemic, which is the safest, fastest and easiest method to communicate.

It makes my blood boil to think these frequent flyer politicians are the same people demanding action against climate change.

sendfoodson Simple Ways to Be Less Divisive (2021)

sendfoodson CalyxOS releases test builds for Fairphone 4, OnePlus 8T, and OnePlus 9

Maybe many people get this impression because he (rightfully! I want to be very clear here) defended his accomplishments against the attacks from his Copperhead OS business partner. Without context it's hard to understand

sendfoodson Our fundamental right to shame and shun the New York Times

Could you provide some context? I have not been following them closely lately, but am familiar with their work and generally find them very respectable journalists.

sendfoodson Folding bicycle small enough to fit in hand luggage

they do have gears that help with that, I think. Can be seen in the promo videos from the side. Also, the riders are peddling very slow for the speed they are going.

sendfoodson 3,599,040,600 € wired by Germany to Russia since the invasion of Ukraine

Could you elaborate? Why is it a subsidy for Russia? Wouldn't it be a pretty unbureaucratic measure with immediate benefit for the consumer?

sendfoodson 3,599,040,600 € wired by Germany to Russia since the invasion of Ukraine

That would be enough until we get LPG from Qatar, which is being reported as the earliest in Summer 2023.

Gas reserves are at a historical low right now. I'm not sure why this misinformation keeps popping up.

sendfoodson 3,599,040,600 € wired by Germany to Russia since the invasion of Ukraine

Does anybody know why Germany isn't really using their domestic gas fields? According to the german EPA equivalent[1] there's enough for 10 years of usage.

While I agree with the need to shut off Nordstream I, I am not sure Germany can afford this right now due to historically low gas reserves [2].

I have to disagree with the tone of the statement "We can afford the consequences". Who is "we"? The lower middle class of Germany, who already suffers some of the highest taxes in the world and the highest energy prices in the world? The government clearly does not care about energy prices: Gas prices are nearly 50% taxed, are they willing to lower it for lower income families? No.

sendfoodson Flying a single-engine Antonov An-2 over the Atlantic Ocean

Very sad, yes, this is the best source I could find https://edition.cnn.com/travel/article/antonov-an-225-larges...

I'm honestly surprised it was destroyed. Why wouldn't the Russians want to use this plane in the future?

EDIT: an-2 != an-225.
