Mitochondria

[Mark E. Hurling]

Perhaps a session with an E-meter can sort this out.

We’d better feed them whatever they want.

When you learn to quite your mind you will hear them speaking to you. They will be telling you to go to mcdonalds and order a bic mac large fry and diet coke.

So perhaps cold can generate infrared, from a certain point of view...

No it can’t.

[Mark Rippetoe]

Barry, you're clearly not operating in the spirit of the thread.

[wiigelec]

No it can’t.

That is why you fail...

Exactly. Same reason why I haven’t DL’d 800# yet. I have a bad attitude.

I do kinda miss that guy. He’s like the cousin or uncle that everybody loves to shit on.

Laugh at him all you want, but he was a playmaker.

Hoyle was phenomenal. I merely repurposed his excellence here.

[gadders]

Correct. Sir Hoyle in Evolution from Space posits seedlings of Greater life arrived on meteorites. Like Venom, but nicer.

The correct name for that theory is "panspermia"

What I get from all this is that our mitochondria are easily confused. Eating carbohydrates that are grown during the summer and have specific summer energy signatures while it’s winter will cause lots of problems because the mitochondria are smart enough to know that food is not available in winter.

Apparently all those thousands of years of summer stockpiling of grains and such for winter consumption was not the proper way to treat our mitochondria...

Yes, I’ve seen that term before. Thanks for the reminder.

But as Feynman said, knowing the name of a thing and the thing itself are two different things. He was quite adamant about such things.

...was not the proper way to treat our mitochondria...

What would a mitochondrian revolt look like?
