Forty days ago, I began a low-carb no-sugar diet as an experiment. My blood sugar used to hover around 10 mmol/l – now 7 mmol/l (HbA1c 60 to 45). Nobody gave me guidance so I found it myself. Thank you @lowcarbGP. Started a diet, gained a lifestyle. More: phcuk.org

Brilliant talk by Dr Unwin @lowcarbGP and Dr Chaffee @anthony_chaffee advocating a low-carb lifestyle. Benefits for everyone, not just diabetics: improves kidney function, liver function, lipid profiles, blood pressure, etc. HEALTHSPAN, not just lifespan. youtu.be/YvK2NrO1wxE

The most ridiculous feedback I've ever received, in this case for a test translation: "Passable but not very accurate, but what the translator has put is in many cases what one would expect a document like this to actually say." Plus comments arguing for word-for-word renditions.

I don't need a robotic arm to fill up my car. I don't want to read content written by a machine. I hate chatting to customer service bots. I avoid self-checkouts. What is wrong with the world? What is wrong with human? The only new tech I want is a time machine. Grump grump grump

Never look a gift-horse in the butt, either.

Word of Christmas Day, as always, is ‘confelicity’: joy in the happiness of others. The fellow emotion to ‘compassion’, literally ‘a suffering with’. Wishing you confelicity aplenty this Christmas.
