Though I don't want to test the last part (getting fat to increase chances of surviving winter) I decided to test the first bit as an n=1 uncontrolled experiment

While completely satisfied on pemmican I ate a mandarin orange. It immediately caused massive food noise for more of the same. It made me hungry enough to eat the pemmican I had left on my plate as well as another piece

No surprise that the modern western diet makes people obese, it's like perpetual summer

My partner needed steak for a family dinner, so following my style she bought a whole porterhouse, and they ate about half of it

She eats low fat. Bulk meat comes untrimmed so has much more than supermarket or even butcher cuts

But it seems fair enough, easier for her and her mum to cut it off than for me to add fat

I just spent two weeks in tropical Cairns, Australia, a few of those days were out in the sun, snorkeling, fishing, bush walking. So I decided to test what I figured was a myth of meat making you proof against sunburn. I skipped sunscreen.

A light tan is supposed to be about SPF4 (Sun protection factor 4, stay in the sun 4x as long without burning, sunscreen is usually above SPF50) and my face, arms and legs had a little tan left over from summer. My back, chest, stomach, and shoulders were northern European white.

Two hours snorkeling was enough to get my shoulders burned enough to peel, my back got lightly burned. I guess I didn't point my stomach at the sun much. That's less burning than last time I spent a couple of hours in the sun with my shirt off, so I think there was some protection.

My friend I was traveling with told me that my face was bright red, I could see the red in my arms, but that all just turned to tan.

Last time I got burned enough to peel, it hurt. This time, it just itched as it peeled and felt very hot if I pointed that part of me at the sun for a couple of days.

While fishing I had my arms in the sun, with the un-tanned inside of my right arm getting hours of sunlight. That reddened, but didn't burn enough to peel. and now more of the inside of my right arm is tanned.

My thoughts:

• You burn about as quickly
• It hurts a lot less
• You can get a bit more sun without it peeling
• Once you get tanned you really don't get burned anymore
• If you tan and you spend time outside you'll tan as soon as the sun gets above 50 degrees above the horizon. For me that's early Spring for minutes a day through to mid summer where it's hours a day.
• You can get through a mid-summer day's UV with a deep tan.

To lots of people with episodes outside, or doing outside sport as the low sun of early spring turns into the high sun of summer, so solar UV dose slowly rises over months it would seem like immunity, getting tanned before burning enough to peel.

But if you go from nothing to hours under the summer sun meat won't be enough to protect whichever part of you is most pointed at the sun, but it will make the damage less severe and heal quicker, since unnecessary swelling will be suppressed.

Prusa have shared on their blog the upcoming version of their slicer which is intended to make colour printing easy using CMYKW for 5 colour printers and CMYW for their 4 colour systems

I think they mean fish and chips takeaway

Chips are Australian for fries

On this diet, especially as I'm eating pemmican, it's incredible how little I eat compared to the normal Australian diet

I like pixel phones, I have had them since they were Nexuses. When the 9 came out and I needed to upgrade I chose the pro fold

The bad first: I'm typing this on my pixel 3 because the 9 pro fold is in bubble wrap in a box waiting for a courier to take it back to Google. Worse, this is the second 9 pro fold I have put in a box with an RMA note to go back. Both died the same way, about 6 months old the inner screen broke along the fold line.

The good: they agreed to replace it pretty quickly when I selected to communicate by message, they took over a month though when I requested a call

That seems to be the most common question I get from people who know about carnivore and aren't opposed to someone else doing it

My usual answer has just been "no, since it's so nutritious it always tastes good"

But really it's not all the same. The batch of fat I'm using at the moment has more flavour than the last lot, also the texture of my pemmican is different this time to last, less well blended so there are bits one can chew, though nothing too big to easily swallow if in a hurry

Ingredients

• Ruminant meat, I used beef
• Rendered fat from the same, I used suet

Method

1. Remove any fat from the meat. This can be done before or after drying. It's a nice snack when removed after drying
2. Dehydrate the meat until it is so dry it can be broken into pieces
3. Grind, smash, or blend the dried meat to add small as practical
4. Weigh the dried meat
5. Weigh out the same weight of rendered fat into a microwave or heat proof container
6. Heat the fat until it is just melted, I use a microwave 1 minute at a time, or starting with 2 minutes if I'm doing more than 1 kg
7. Put the dried meat in a suitably sized mixing bowl
8. Add the melted fat to the meat, mix well with a wooden spoon
9. Empty the mix into a suitable mold. I use a large casserole dish, once it has set reasonably firm, cut it into pieces. This has set completely, and two pieces are already eaten

I updated my server from fabric 1.21.3 to vanilla 1.21.7 directly just recently and have noticed that my skeleton spawner farm is now killing unarmoured skeletons rather than leaving them on half a heart

1. Is this a bug, or a bugfix?
2. Is anyone else having this problem?
3. Is this just a problem that happens when going from fabric to vanilla? The skeleton spawner was created by a mod which is no longer running.

I can't see anything relevant in the changes or bugfixes of the releases after 1.21.3

My workaround is to raise the landing floor by 1 block which has returned the farm to normal functionality
