Man Does Not Live on, (checks notes), BEER Alone Thai Man Dies After Surviving on Beer Alone for Over a Month
A man in Rayong, Thailand, died surrounded by over a hundred empty beer bottles after shunning food and living on the alcoholic drink alone for over a month. Last week, rescue workers from the Siam Rayong Foundation were called to a house in the Ban Chang district of Rayong to help a man who had reportedly suffered a seizure and later became unconscious. Unfortunately, by the time they arrived on the scene, the patient had already passed away. He was identified as 44-year 44-year-old Thaweesak Namwongsa, a divorced local man and father to a 16-year-old boy. According to the teenager, Namwongsa had been drinking only beer for over a month, and when he came home from school one day, he found him having a seizure in his bed, surrounded by empty beer bottles.Read the whole thing. Article mentions a previous instance of someone surviving for weeks on just beer. Ohio Man Gives Up Solid Food, Lives on Beer Alone for Lent (Ohio man story is from 2019)
A renovation project at George Washington’s Mount Vernon mansion uncovered two sealed glass bottles full of cherries.Interesting article, but the writer felt the need to include this completely unnecessary line:
The cherries, complete with stems and pits, still had their signature scent.
The two bottles come characteristic of styles from the 1750s and were placed in a forgotten pit.
While the Washingtons were known fans of cherries, the picking and storage of the two bottles likely never touched their hands as the site was known to have over 300 enslaved individuals at the time of George Washington’s death.
WTF value does that add to this story? NONE! Just an attempt at virtue signaling on the writer's part. ------ Well-Preserved Roman Road Found Beneath English City Center
MANCHESTER, ENGLAND—According to a BBC report, archaeologists were surprised to find a Roman road just beneath the surface of Manchester's city center. It is remarkable that the 2,000-year-old road is so well-preserved, given that it lies only 15 inches beneath the busy modern Liverpool Street in the city’s Castlefield section. The site is near to the Roman fort of Mamucium, which was established around a.d. 78 and from which the modern city takes its name. Experts believe it may have been the main northern exit route away from the Roman settlement. The team uncovered a number of Romano-British artifacts dating to between the first and third century a.d., including pottery and glassware, that provided a timeframe for the road’s use. “It's certainly the best Roman archaeology I've seen in the city center for 20 years and probably more than that,” said Ian Miller from the Greater Manchester Archaeological Advisory Service.Check out the whole thing.

The burial belonged to a child who may have lived among fishermen from the Chancay culture, which thrived in Peru before the rise of the Inca Empire. While installing new pipes in Lima, Peru, utility workers stumbled upon a pre-Inca burial: a mummy of a child between ages 10 and 15, who had been resting undisturbed for 1,000 years. Located approximately four feet beneath the surface, the mummy was found in a seated position. Wisps of dark brown hair were still visible on the child’s head.This one also has a bunch of "you may also like" links. Enter the rabbit hole cautiously!
Wolfgang Van Halen may have descended from one of the greatest guitar soloists who ever lived, but that doesn’t mean he’s tied to the concept of guitar solos. Instead, he has very much his own approach to songwriting – and it’s one that doesn’t see solos as a necessity. This year, Wolfgang has released two show-stopping singles from his forthcoming album under the Mammoth moniker. Title track, The End tipped its cap to the Hot For Teacher music video with a glitzy guitar solo, but The Spell doesn't quite follow suit in the fretboard pyrotechnics department As such, he says listeners shouldn’t expect him to light up his fretboard on every song as he outlines the key differences between his and his father’s distinct playing styles.Read the whole thing. Wolfgang is really a great musician and songwriter. He is carving his own path in the world of rock music. I have seen him live several times, and I highly recommend you check out the entire Mammoth WVH catalog. Having said that -- Wolfie's dad gets the last word here tonight

So glad to read this AOP, and to know you are feeling better. Read your plan the other night re: removing everything and starting again, and I couldn't agree with you more. Very old school. Worked under a unit chief (MD) with the very same philosophy. Of course, that was back in the day before the profession changed to being financially rewarded for every procedure and new medication they ordered...but I digress. Very glad you are feeling better.

WTF value does that add to this story? NONE! Just an attempt at virtue signaling on the writer's part.
A couple of years ago, Popular Science or Popular Mechanics (I don't recall which) published an article about how to tear down statues and monuments without hurting yourself. Ya know, since tearing down statues was a virtuous act.
Since then, they are dead to me. I enjoyed reading them since I was a little kid, but they betrayed me.

Right after the U.S. Civil War the region where my ancestors lived (an extremely rural part of a "border state") was effectively without law enforcement for a number of years. I believe it was nominally under the aegis of the feds, but they didn't give a fuck what a bunch of hillbillies did to each other, or at least not to the extent of establishing an actual law enforcement presence.
Thereby hangs a tale.
There were individuals and groups known as "bushwhackers" -- you've probably heard the term.
Mostly ex-soldiers (from both sides). Mostly not at all unfamiliar with, or averse to, violence. Mostly starving. Mostly not giving a fuck.
My ancestor gave his little girl an apple. While she was eating it, a bushwhacker happened by and stole it from her.
She ran to her pappy, sobbing. He caught up with the scumbag, shot him, and buried him there on the farm -- after stomping the apple into his mouth.
Nothing ever happened to him, even though the story was widely known in the area.
People like that bushwhacker didn't get a lot of sympathy wasted on them at that time and place.

I said he starved himself. And it was someone else that said 600 - 700 calories, but that was for all 3 beers per day. Which is an elevated value for commercially brewed beer (~ 150 calorie / beer more realistic)
Now if he was drinking Light beer he would only get ~99 calories / beer
Older beers had lower ABV, and it's suggested that the boiling of the grain was more effective at leaching the nutrients from the grains

Budweiser comes from when Adolphus Busch set up his brewery in the States, and used the Germanized word for the Czech Budejovice pilsners. These were famous in Europe as the best tasting beers, and though his beer had virtually nothing in common with them, the marketing worked amazingly well among German immigrants in the Midwest.
I think something similar must have happened with chile. People said "oh man, ya gotta try this delicious pepper and tomatillo stew with pork," and it got famous, but a couple generations and a thousand miles later it became an entirely different product with a slightly different name.

As a matter of fact, I do. This is called the “basal metabolic rate”, and you will discover just exactly how many calories that is with any sustained weight loss program to an astonishingly accurate degree. Of course this varies with sex and age, but it is basically the number of calories required just to “keep the lights on” so to speak, maintain body temperature, etc. About 5 or 10 percent of the food we eat is burned up digesting the food we eat.
Older people, sedentary people may find even 1500 calories will tend to cause weight gain. About 600 to 800 calories a day will result in a fairly rapid weight loss, yet is sustainable. A more moderate weight loss regimen might be 900 to 1000 calories a day. About 1.5 to 2 pounds a week is reasonable goal over extended period (many weeks or several months) but requires dedication.

Keep in mind body fat is 4000 calories per pound. Many if not most people in the West can stand to lose (quite) a few pounds. This is also becoming a problem in the Orient. Obesity, metabolic syndrome, full blown type II Diabetes.
With adequate electrolytes fasting for a month is no problem per se. The human body is beautifully designed (or adapted) to burn fat. That’s what it’s for, it ain’t for decoration that’s for sure.

I broke 100F here locally with the weather station the past two days. 100.6F on the 27th, and 100.8F on the 28th. That's the first time it hit 100F since I put the station up in May of 2024. Incidentally, the "heat index" it calculates hit a max of 115F some time ago. The dew point, while high, wasn't high enough this time, and the max there was just 110ish the past couple of days.
And GSP NWS has been having fun, setting a record and tying a couple more. They set the daily high record for the 27th, and tied the highest low for that day. CLT also set a record high for the one of those days.

Of late, I've gotten fascinated with the earth's rotation, the speed and the polar motion. Since 2020, the Erf has sped up a smidge, and has been clocking yearly mean mean solar days a little less than 24 hours of atomic time. As such, DUT1, the difference between astronomical time (think of this as a count of synodic rotations) and UTC has been increasing every so slightly. A negative leap second is a possibility around 2029.
However, while it's still been going fast the past couple months, it hasn't been quite as fast as was predicted two months ago, and in fact, the current DUT1 value is a little below the uncertainty of that 2 month prediction. This means the unpredictable components are being unpredictable. :-)
That's the speed. Now, polar motion ....

Now polar motion. There's two components of this. One, called Chandler wobble, or polar wander, is the motion of the pole relative to the surface of the earth. The other is about the movement of the axis relative to free space.
Now, something I wasn't aware of. There is a strong correlation between the polar wander component, and the error in the free space part (true vs predicted) and the 11 year solar cycle.
IOW, something about the Sun is influencing this. Just what that is (magnetic?) is not really understood.

Doing those complicated statistical analysis, I forget what they call it, where you say the variation in this variable is "x %" explained by the variation in this other variable, it's about 60% for polar motion. 60% of the polar motion tracks with the solar cycle.

The main short term driver of the variation of the earth's rotation is thought to be atmospheric angular momentum exchange. Also, ocean current angular mometum exchange.
The gravitational torques on the earth (sun, moon, tidal, planetary) only either change direction, or slow it down, ie long term tidal friction. So, what can speed it up? Mass redistribution and changes in the moment of inertia from that is one.
The atmosphere plays a big role as well. This a closed system. When the wind gets started blowing, it has to push against something, and that's the earth. Also, the ocean currents. And that right there is what can speed the earth up over the short term. The large changes in the atmospheric angular momentum. Heat from the Sun provides the energy to do this, but doesn't transfer angular momentum directly.

Posted by: Skip at July 29, 2025 03:32 AM (+qU29)
So, what they think correlates with the solar cycle, is that atmospheric angular momentum exchange process is modulated by the solar cycle somehow. You know the controversy over how much the sun affects climate (globull warming and all that).
There are some who think that somehow there is another mechanism of angular momentum exchange with the sun, magnetic via solar wind, CMEs, and all that. But naive calculations of that show that is way too small. Unless, there is something else unknown going on.
