I think about it like this - seed oils are in nearly all processed foods. Read the labels of anything in your house that's in a bag, or will not expire in the next week. 95% chance there is sunflower/canola/safflower/sesame seed oil in it.

By avoiding seed oils, you tend to eat more whole foods. It's not an awful cue to pay attention to.

if the seed oils in Cheetos are not the problem, what is it? the flour?

anecdote for anyone else reading about Covid related tinnitus - I've had hearing damage related tinnitus for a decade. Got Covid in April '22 which caused my existing tinnitus to 2-3x in severity, lasting a couple months before it either reverted to baseline or I got used to the new normal. Very scary experience. The CEO of Texas Roadhouse famously committed suicide due in part to severe post-Covid tinnitus.

For anyone struggling to cope with Tinnitus out there, one thing that has helped me immensely is Zen meditation. Doesn't make it go away, but builds up a control over attention with which you can cope much better.

>The one service token and three accounts were not rotated because mistakenly it was believed they were unused.

This odd to me - unused credentials should probably be deleted, not rotated.

didn't see any mention of caching in the docs. This tends to be pretty important for fast build/CI at many different key points of a given workflow (dependency cache, build cache, docker layer cache, image cache, etc). Wondering if I missed something.

we have no theories of intelligence. We're like people in the 1500s trying to figure out why and how people get sick, with no concept of bacteria, germs, transmission, etc

using it for an internal Golinks service

dang. Only thing I've found so far is a `mysqldump --no-data` and then a restore from dump. Not fast at all. Maybe you could pre-provision a few thousand DBs this way in parallel and write a service to hand out DB handles...

pgtestdb looks great. Looks like it leverages Postgres template DBs. We use MySQL more often than Postgres; I may take a stab at creating something similar for MySQL. Nicely done!

what is the neurovascular conflict?

that's pretty fundamentally different, no? One requires you to build a distributed system with >1 components leveraging GCP tasks APIs. The second is just a library do some book keeping inside your main datastore.
