Is this why people voted as they did in the past few years? Researchers find a western-style diet can impair brain function After a week on a high fat, high added sugar diet, volunteers scored worse on memory tests

I don't think he himself would claim to have had a damascene conversion since then so it is probably legitimate. His handling of the black IQ issue raised by Schrödinger's SPAD (the one that either existed or didn't until someone checked his history) has the hallmarks of the same views.

Somewhat disingenuous to say: almost everyone feels compelled to agree publicly with them or at least to pretend to agree with them. ... in an article published in one of the larger newspapers. Self-evidently he doesn't feel compelled to agree or pretend to agree, even in public. That he...

The photo was tweeted by Michael Story, co-founder of a forecasting startup called Maby, who has now made his Twitter account private. It showed Story and Sabisky with the other founder of Maby, Thomas Liptay. Michael Story: Education London School of Economics and...

Do we know who the others are?

Not very many dwellings on the high bits:

Speak for yourself! We've got 10,500 Ml sploshing around just up the road.

But the farmers are supposed to farm, to produce food, especially the food we won't so readily be able to get in future. Not to change their fields into lakes and dams. Mind, I suppose they could grow watercress, fish, maybe even rice...

Prime minister Boris Johnson and estranged wife Marina Wheeler have reached an agreement relating to money following their separation two years ago. If it has taken him two years to negotiate that relatively trivial agreement, on what basis does he claim anything at the scale of national...

The Greeks and Romans had their superforecasters: Haruspex (plural haruspices; also called aruspex) was a person trained to practice a form of divination called haruspicy (haruspicina), the inspection of the entrails (exta—hence also extispicy (extispicium)) of sacrificed animals, especially...

Lots of high ground, but not necesssarily suitable for housing. Often windswept, high rainfall, poor access.

OK, a choice: In early 2019, the Environment Agency said at least £1bn a year was needed to tackle flooding and coastal erosion – more than the £600m-£800m a year that has been spent since 2010. So, a century of tackling flooding and coastal erosion. Or HS2?

I am concerned at bulding going on in sight of the bedroom window. Uphill from us. Theoretically, they are dealing with drainage issues before they really get going, but I am still rather concerned.

I suspect that the majority of the voters didn't vote for a lot of the policies that are coming out of the woodwork.

I used to. Then I got my hair cut.

If IQ and limbo dancing are both genetically determined, I suspect Sabinsky would very much be below the 80% level under the limbo.

Don't worry, all is well: The new environment secretary, George Eustice, on Monday defended the government’s record on responding to the storms, and to the wider issue of flooding. “The government has a firm grip on this,” he told Sky News. “It’s a very difficult situation, with widespread...

On the basis that individuals cannot hold back floods, just what are they supposed to do to protect themselves? (Odd exceptions, maybe, for boys with fingers and dykes.) Assuming that the government doesn't expect everyone to abandon anywhere prone to flooding (obviously without compensation)...

And yet, next year, it appears that duty free will once again return to many foreign holidays and trips.

David Frost, apparently "our" brexit negotiator (even if brexit is a forbidden term): Describing Treasury predictions in 2018 about the economy after Brexit as “speculative”, Frost said the studies exaggerated the impact of non-tariff barriers and customs costs to businesses and failed to...
