So I'm apparently low in D vitamin

Eat more milk jug lids.

[Rolan7]

Or go outside, but beware cave adaptation.

[TempAcc]

Git some D ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Too late for that. There's a reason I'm low on vitamin D :p

I expect that if I move to Ireland, I'll be exposed to even less sunlight.

On the other hand I cannot start with milk either as I'm trying to lose weight.


Sooo.. I'm taking supplements for the time being. One pill/month. Not too bad all things considered. Should set up a calendar.

One pill per month? How does that work? 30 times Vitamin D's recommended daily allowance (15 µg/d) is above its tolerable upper intake level (100 µg/d).

I got put on 50k IUs of vitamin D for 2 months. 1 tablet a week, then 5k tablets a day after that. Still take 'em, most because it's apparently a free prescription, and it means I don't have to piss about in the sun with my pasty Celtic skin.

One thing I find kind of odd about the Musical "Grease"

Is... well.. the song "Look at me I'm Sandra Dee"... In spite being a seemingly rather innocuous unimportant and fun song.

Is actually one of the most important songs in the entire play and is the ONLY bit of foreshadowing they create for the ending.

Mind you the reason why it doesn't work in modern times is because we don't really have a "So perfect they must be fake" mentality.

Technical file (Spanish) , if you're curious.

My GP actually suggested that I take one every two weeks for three months and then once a year.  I'll consider it, but maybe I'll just take one and once I get to Ireland, check my serum  levels (likely as not they'll run me through the workplace health gauntlet on arrival anyway), and decide then what to do.

I found a bug in one of my group projects, which detects the pitch frequency of a singing voice, and while I can get it to work with a prerecorded file, it completely fails with live recording despite using identical DSP class instances. The only difference is the source of the data. Same sampling frequency, same format, different source.

It's been driving me up the wall.

-grease snip-

It bothers me a bit that I still haven't gotten around to watching Grease.
... but I'm assuming it's like a stepford wives Aesop?

Sunlight increases Vitamin D.

Light is the main component of sunlight.

Fire creates light.

You should light yourself on fire for an instant fix.

Disclaimer: Do not light yourself on fire.

It is more that it is meant to hint that Sandra Dee is putting up airs because of how perfect and pure she acts.

Even going as far as to show how absolutely no one acts this way.

[Teneb]

Grease has a really bad message though in that the moral of the story is that changing who you are for someone else's sake is ok and even desirable.

Except... for the Sandra Dee song.

She didn't change herself she became who she really was

Is this Neon being sarcastic or Grease not making sense?

I've never seen the movie but this is confusing. Oxymoronic, even.
