it's like the masks.

the fact is that the masks don't work at all.

but, people wear them like a security blanket - or a hijab, if you will. it makes them feel safer in a scary, unpredictable world. its some kind of certainty in the face of danger. and, that makes sense, if you're right wing (liberals do not think like that!). but, there's no science underlying it, except science debunking it. so, you'd might as well wear a dunce cap instead, if you really believe in it, if it really makes you feel better; it's just as effective in keeping you safe.

and i need to reiterate that i'm very concerned that these observations are not coincidental, that there's something to the idea of the nanny state mandating mask use to provide a false sense of security.

'cause some conservative people might, in the end, decide they don't want to take them off, at all - that they're safer hiding behind them, even when the virus is gone.

and that might be what the bastards actually want.

the answer is all of the above, and if you're serious then you have to shut everything down. the virus doesn't know that it's at school, and should behave, or spread more easily at bars than it does at churches. these are arbitrary human conventions that make no sense and have no rooting in science - but they can be deceiving, if you're a conservative (which everybody that is making decisions, right now, is).

opening schools and gyms and closing bars and strip clubs isn't "risk reduction", it's just base stupidity rooted in illogical puritanical ignorance.

it will make the idiots feel safer, though - and that's really the purpose of it. it's political. it's meat for the base.

they're scapegoating sinners.

and, that is all.

so, if you're looking for an easy answer, there isn't one; if you're looking for a specific activity to cancel so that everything else carries on safely, you're doing this wrong.

if you want to target any specific group, the group you should be targeting is geriatrics. and, it doesn't matter if they're playing bingo at the tavern or singing hymns at the church or giving their grandkids a hug - any outside exposure is dangerous.

that is the only intelligent thing that can be done, and suggestions otherwise will merely lead to abject failure and excess death.

and, no, i'm not committing on which one is dumber.

maybe i'll ~~rent~~ illegally download dumb and dumber, instead.

frankly, i'm not finding myself remotely interested in watching those two idiots down there debate with each other, at all.

that was some overdue sleep after trying to stay awake for far too long.

i want to get a rough idea of how i'm finishing this, and then get to some court stuff.

b2 is the same kind of idea as b1 - except that it's more plentiful in the foods i like, so i need less of it across the board. i should be able to get what i need in the fruit bowl from the previously isolated combination of cereals and nutrition drinks.

but, i also have my first serious candidate for a salad dressing, and it's yogurt, which is full of b2 from milk and heavily fortified with d, solving two problems at once. i'll want to look around for the right combination, but it's kind of the perfect answer if i can find the right brand.

i would probably be better off with milk yogurt than soy yogurt due to the superior 6:3 ratio. yogurt will present the bowl with enough fat to allow for proper vitamin absorption, but it's about a 90% reduction, compared to the soy-based caesar. i wish they were more clear on the packaging for this caesar, because soy + cheese + eggs sounds horribly fattening but at a potential net benefit of high vitamin intake. they're mum when they ought not to be.....

so, that's really about the only answer i can think of to get the pasta bowl up, and it's a good one all around. i've penciled it in.

regarding the eggs, the deficit is not great, but my options are not inspiring. if i've tapped out milk & cereal & eggs, what is left is organ meat. veal is very high on the list. but, that's not under consideration.

the only remaining option to get b2 in substantive quantities appears to be the soy meat. and, i'll have to very carefully sort through my options. but, eggs & soy bacon is what it looks like it is...

disclaimer:
i've gone to town with a few things - i'm not making up vitamins but rather filling things in. i mean, there's all these "missing vitamin names". what were they, exactly? it also gives me an excuse to work in a few things like choline that are hard to otherwise define as they are essential in some amount but not technically vitamins.

note that these numbers are scavenged and should be interpreted approximately. that's partly why i'm aiming to overshoot on most of it.

so, i'm going to need to do some shopping to work out the right addition to the fruit bowl, but it's going to be some combination of fortified wheat supplements with dietary replacements.

for the pasta salad, i'm going ahead with a boost in pasta to 100 g, and i'm adding hulled hemp seeds. i was going to add fake bacon bits & chopped crickets, but i'm holding off for now. one thing at a time.

and, i'm holding off on choices around the fried eggs, but i've added a few options at the bottom.

so, for the pasta, i just retraced my steps to readjust the proportion, and i actually found a typo with the niacin that's been corrected.

for hemp, i'm using the following site to start:

https://fdc.nal.usda.gov/fdc-app.html#/food-details/170148/nutrients

that site, however, doesn't measure the gamma-tocopherol in hemp seeds, which i relied on the following site for, for now:

http://www.hempseed.ca/efa-faq/

note that that is for an oil, not the hulled seeds. in the end, i'm going to want to understand the correct conversion factors i need to meet the daily requirements. and, cost permitting, i may boost the amount of hemp, in the end. for now, this is about the b1, and the 11% bumps me over for the pasta salad bowl.

it is stated repeatedly on the internet that the european hemp association would allot an amount of 9% of the rdi for b5 to 10 g of hulled seeds, but i can't source that.

however, there's data on omega fatty acids here:

https://aim4truthblog.files.wordpress.com/2019/05/cihfp-industrial-hemp-project-w-exhibits.pdf

and, this site filled out holes for the less common nutrients.

https://wholefoodcatalog.info/food/hemp_seed(dried)/nutrients/

further, note that while it seems to be clear that hemp is a non-trivial source of both choline and inositol, i cannot find clear data regarding it.

note that b9 for the pasta meal bumped up as well, as collateral damage. good.

& b2 is next. where i can get more of that?
