Covid 19 Part 4

I was looking for some seeds and I came across some ’ poke sallet’ ones. I ordered those and am planning to use them in art projects. They have beautiful color at various stages.

Yea I know that, I used Folding@Home (The most popular one) since the Playstation 3 days. You need good cooling and a good power supply to run it trouble free, it will consume lots of power. The GPU, graphics card, has much more computational power than CPUs, processors. You can chose Other projects in Folding@Home to process Corona units:

I started with FAH , but switched to WCG quite a while ago .

You can eat poke sallat.

Yes. I read that you should eat the young leaves. The larger ones are poison.

Really? I just fried up some large leaves last night. Too much poke can give you diarrhea but I’ve never had that problem. Never eat Poke berries

From Wikipedia:

" Poke is a traditional southern Appalachian food. The leaves and stems of very young plants can be eaten, but must be cooked by boiling two or more times with the water drained and replaced each time. The leaves taste similar to spinach; the stems, similar to asparagus."

Actually poke tastes like poke. Have you ever had it? The leaves are somewhat like spinach yes but poke doesn’t taste like asparagus at all.

I never had but I like spinach and Mulukhiyah (ملوخية).

Japan’s state of emergency is nearing its end with new cases of the coronavirus dwindling to mere dozens. It got there despite largely ignoring the default playbook.

No restrictions were placed on residents’ movements, and businesses from restaurants to hairdressers stayed open. No high-tech apps that tracked people’s movements were deployed. The country doesn’t have a center for disease control. And even as nations were exhorted to “test, test, test,” Japan has tested just 0.2% of its population – one of the lowest rates among developed countries.
