Health Stuff

Recovered somewhat from whatever that weird fit was at the end of last year.

NHS still has me on some sort of list I think, appointment might turn up next year. Last contact with them they were suggesting maybe November.
But the private treatment gave me the
MRI which
showed nothing weird and post-fit symptoms have been reducing.
Experimented with eating meat to see if that helped.
Tried eating meat for a month to see if it reduced the post-fit symptoms. Maybe it did? Tried vegetarian again and maybe it got worse?
Hard to tell with intermittent symptoms and a terrible memory.
Decided it's more likely to do good than harm (to me, entirely harm to the animals obviously), and eat meat till the end of the year.
While I'm better, I don't really feel fully recovered enough to want to change things so more meat next year I think.
One of those symptoms is that booze tolerance dropped to like zero. Very rarely had more than four pints in a day this year and very rarely more than one night a
week.
Much high number than the target there really.
Tripped over a guy-rope and fell onto the wrist.
Did two days of the festival and the drive home thinking it almost certainly wasn't broken and only confirmed it was when I got home and the hospital put it in a cast.

TIL that 'vegetarian meat' brands Vegetarische Slager ( butcher) and Vivera belong to Brazilian mega meat company JBS, accused of massive deforestation, built on bribing politicians, and brought to the stock market via a Dutch holding company.

Omstreden vleesgigant JBS gaat naar beurs via Nederlandse brievenbusmaatschappij
JBS, het grootste vleesbedrijf ter wereld, vestigt zich in Nederland. Via een brievenbusmaatschappij in Amstelveen krijgt het omstreden Braziliaanse miljardenbedrijf beursnoteringen in zowel São Paulo als New York.

Finally, a German opposition to a ban that I can support!
Germany wants to keep the names 'veggie burger' and 'vegetarian sausage'. The latter was invented by the 'greatest German of all time', Konrad Adenauer, so it should be considered part of German cultural heritage.

Agrarminister Rainer gegen "Veggie-Burger"-Verbot in der EU
In der EU könnten Begriffe wie "Veggie-Schnitzel" bald verboten werden. Bundesagrarminister Rainer will sich dagegen einsetzen: Er hält die Debatte für "unnötig" - und sieht vor allem negative Folgen bei einem Verbot.

Recipe testing …

Knocking up a batch of Delia’s vegetarian sausage rolls - this year with loads of changes as wife is now gluten intolerant. Mix has come together well!

Strikes run on pizza.
Turns out they also can begin to end on them.
Several pies, in fact, arrived on North Shore Drive on the brisk Tuesday that was Oct. 18, 2022,
when the strikers first walked out of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette newsroom
because the PG had violated federal labor law.
The workers said they would not go back to their jobs until their employer followed the rules.
They had no idea it would take three years
and become the nation’s lon…

Pittsburgh journalists vote to end country's longest strike and notify the PG they are returning to work - Pittsburgh Union Progress
The Newspaper Guild of Pittsburgh’s most momentous gathering since the formation of a strike picket line more than three years ago began last week in the manner of all big strike meetings — with the arrival of a half dozen boxes of pizza. Pepperoni, plain and a vegetarian option. Strikes run on pizza. Turns out […]

This should definitely extend to the menus on the private jets of the delegates. https://pouet.chapril.org/@dallo/115516457952130369
