"10-4. there's a skeleton with exaggerated buck teeth, holding a rolled up piece of paper and chattering down pennsylvania avenue. she says she needs to smack the president upside the head. 10-4."

i've spent much of the day arguing about whether parental rights actually exist or not (i claim they don't, that they're a conservative fantasy).

and, it opens up another question...

can america fucking ratify the un declaration on the rights of the child already now, given that the democrats control the government?

so, the executive order on keystone was not at all what i expected, but i missed this last summer:

https://www.nytimes.com/2020/07/06/us/politics/supreme-court-keystone-xl-pipeline.html

that makes it an easy political win - construction was halted, anyways. that is, the executive order didn't actually do anything that wasn't already being done. 

am i being overly cynical? should i give them some credit? well, they haven't earned it - all they've earned is cynicism. 

so, what i'll say is this - let's see what happens when that case works it's way through court. if the court squashes it, i guess that's the end of it. but, if the court gives it the green light (and there's a republican supermajority now, remember - that's different than in july), that'll bring the issue back up again.

for now, it's sort of a toothless, meaningless order - meaning that, while i missed this injunction, and i was expecting something different, the totality of what happened is about what i suggested.

so, they're not incompetent, they're evil. great.

lysine

lysine plays a number of homeostatic, generative and regulatory roles in the body, but what i need to point out is that it is a precursor for carnitine, which i will likely need to supplement for, given that i am either removing red meat or reducing it severely. i have set very low rdis for carnitine (which exists in dairy, avocado & eggs, mostly, in my diet) based on data for actual absorption rates because excessive dietary carnitine is probably bad for cardiac health; even so, i'm likely going to struggle to meet those low requirements and will need to tap into lysine to make up for it. for the fruit bowl, that's not the issue (due to the avocados) that it is likely going to be in the other two bowls, but we'll have to see how it stabilizes, in the end.

lysine can also be catabolized to coA, providing yet another compliment to b5.

raspberry - ?. raspberries have very low amounts of amino acids, low enough that nobody bothered measuring it, or that it couldn't be measured. i have not been able to find data, but it's minimal across the board.
