We have proteins in our diets that our body could use intact, however our digestion breaks those down and we absorb the amino acids and rebuild the needed proteins.

No protein survives digestion. It's really quite surprising that some prions do survive and fuck us up

You can keep secrets from the future. Future decryption won't help government see what you did in the now, the logs don't store the encrypted payload, only the end points and the user/ip

The high end of 0 to 100 is nice for boiling, when I'm making beer at the boiling stage the number on the scale goes from somewhere below 25 to 100 and so the end point is obvious

We boil water quite a lot, though we often aren't tracking the temperature

Most of the time the temperature scale that's best is the one you know. I don't know of any case where Fahrenheit is objectively best (like Celcius is when water is involved) but I think the best argument for Celcius is it is used in science, so American scientists start a step behind all the others by having to learn a new system. Given neither have any great advantage I reckon it's worth America changing to make things better for American scientists

Celcius degrees are quite a bit larger than Fahrenheit degrees. 0 to 100C is much larger than 0 to 100F so I don't get what you mean by Celcius covering about half of Fahrenheit. In any case neither scale runs out of numbers high or low

With the sucking venom out of a bite memes they always warned that you needed good mouth health as the venom getting into your blood through a cut or sore would be dangerous, suggesting that venom could be safely ingested

Our digestive system is pretty good at talking apart proteins

My mail lived on an Intel atom based mini itx machine for years. I wanted to play with breakup by replication and bought a cheap shell. Now the cheap shell is my only mail server

Linux + postfix (SMTP) + dovecot (IMAP and POP3) + SPF + DKIM on the host

Point the MX record for your domain to your IP address

Contact your ISP and ask them to set the PTR record for your IP to your hostname

Mail can be handled by a very low end computer, a raspberry pi can handle email for a small number of users

If you have a specific mail machine you would forward the ports you use to that host on your router.

I self host email. Email is easy. I went a tad overboard with database configuration, a configuration/password change program, a few virtual hosts so I can renew six different names, but a single domain on a Linux box (any flavour) is easy

It makes it easy to make a bespoke email address for every entity you interact with, or show them the respect they deserve by giving your valid email [email protected]

It is a bit of a hobby though. You need to keep up with email security if you want to send to anyone.

100F is just about half

Your scale in water terms starts at 32. 100 is nowhere near halfway between 32 and 212

You can make the temperature dial of an oven have matching degrees of rotation and degrees Celcius.

Turn the dial to point straight down to bake at 180°

Turn it 3/4 of the way to cook a pizza at 270°

Highest I have driven on is 130km/h, but it has no speed enforcement.
