That's Nuts

One of the Main reasons nut allergies are more common than the other types is because the proteins in nuts are remarkably resilient, they can persist even after passing through stomach acid and they spend much more time in the body. The more time a protein persists in the body the more likely your immune system will recognise it as a threat.

Many nuts contain proteins called 'ARA H1', 'ARA H2', and 'ARA H3' and other proteins  with a similar tough structure. These proteins are remarkably though compared to other proteins and can persist in the human body for a very long time.

AI Can Profile You

You can ask chatGPT to write a personality profile about you based on what you like. If you mention lots of things it can give you a detailed report.

Even if you list one like or interest, it can give you a comprehensive report. All for free. I told chatGPT I like the movie 'the thing' from 1982 and asked it to write a report about my personality, this is what it wrote. 

Here is an example of a personality report. 
Liking The Thing (1982) suggests a few intriguing things about your personality and interests:

1. Appreciation for Suspense and Atmosphere: You probably enjoy stories that are rich in tension and atmosphere. The Thing excels in creating a sense of paranoia and dread, which indicates you value psychological depth in horror over simple jump scares.


2. Taste for Practical Effects and Classic Filmmaking: The groundbreaking practical effects in the movie might mean you admire craftsmanship in filmmaking and have a soft spot for movies from the "golden era" of practical effects in the 1980s.


3. Interest in Ambiguity and Complexity: The movie's open-ended conclusion and exploration of themes like trust and human nature suggest you’re drawn to narratives that challenge you to think and interpret rather than providing clear-cut answers.


4. Love of Sci-Fi Horror: The blend of science fiction and horror likely appeals to you. This could mean you enjoy speculative stories that examine humanity's relationship with the unknown.

Wobble

Our world, the Earth isn't  going around the sun smoothly on its axis, it actually wobbles.

The reason the Earth wobbles is because the centre of gravity between the Earth and the moon isn't in the centre of the Earth, it is a shifting point below the Earth's surface called the Barycentre. The Earth and the moon both orbit the Barycentre, a common center of gravity between the two objects.

Game on A page

There is a website that lets you play old computer games directly through the page, it literally boots up an emulator and runs the game ROM on the web page. 

That game site is called  Freebie Games.

They keep the ROM with them so they don't break any copyright laws where they are located. You don't need to install anything to play the games, you just need a working web browser that supports their technology.

I found it also generates the controllers needed to run the game. I managed to find my favourite dos game on there and play it on my smartphone using the little controllers that it provided.
