. this adapter makes it easier to
get a pump on the tire's valve,
if you have big tires
and pressing the pump onto the valve
tends to push the valve into the tire.
. if locking the pump onto the valve
takes a lot of power, this adapter
gives you more room away from the spokes.

natural immunity after infection persists even with low antibodies:
summary:
. it is shown that after a covid-19 infection
there is long-lasting immunity
even when the antibody count is low
because covid-19 is slowly developing
thereby giving the memory cells time to react
by growing more antibodies when needed.
. the CDC recommends even those who have been infected
should get the vaccine; apparently because,
the recently vaccinated with their higher antibodies,
will be quicker at stopping the spread of the virus
than people who have survived an infection and then
slowly make more antibodies when reinfected.
. the politics of this question are based on
a dispute over the likelihood of vaccine injury.

the High fat diet group had a lower omega-6/omega-3 ratio

21.1.28: web.cook/krill/brands with 3rd party testing:
[5.12: summary:
. some say the best thing about krill oil
is that it provides phospholipids,
but you could get that from lecithin;
what is great about krill oil,
is having a phospholipid combined with fish oil,
instead of some lesser-needed oil.
. when buying oils from seafood,
quality may benefit from 3rd party testing.
I tried chewing the IKOS-tested Sports Research
and was amazed at how fishy and weird it tastes;
meanwhile, MegaRed has no 3rd-party testing
but it has a pleasant taste; nevertheless,
I would still prefer IKOS-tested products.]

fake news about progesterone:
woman claims Dr.Lee said you can't overdose on cream:
https://www.bmj.com/rapid-response/2011/10/30/warning-about-natural-progesterone
[5.12:. in at least one book by Dr.Lee, he warned about
how easy it was to over-dose on progesterone cream;
and that you had to consider that too much
could have the opposite effect.
Dr. Mercola has commented on Dr.Lee,
warning us that applying this to skin is not the best;
you should be applying it to a mucous membrane
(I've been using it nasally with good results).]

is the risk from having African ancestry or being carb-intolerant?:
2021.2.4:
. africs (those with some African ancestry)
are said to be more prone to severe covid-19:
is it happening even to africs on a slow carb diet?
(a diet low in sugars and baked goods).
. we know that obese euros (whites)
are also prone to covid;
obesity comes from being carb intolerant,
ie, not adapting well to the
chosen level of glycemic load.
. the problem with the Western diet
is that it has both a high glycemic load
and is high in fats and stress
that cause insulin resistance.
. if africs are more prone to insulin resistance,
they need to compensate by using less carb's.
21.2.1: proj.cyb/ipad.art set 4/erasing a layer:
. after a base layer, I filled a 2nd layer
and then activated both erase and linedraw.
. the color fill didn't include the paper's texture
but painting on it brought the texture back.
(brush/wash/damp) made it look like a water color.
. used (blend/sponge blender)
to make the erasure lines less crisp.
. added some more erasure shaped with (marker pen round)
