I don't know for sure, but it sounds like you ended up with something unexpected in your mix. It's possible something strange is growing in there.

Because of the blue coloring, it seems more likely that some unexpected compound is reacting with the copper parts. You mentioned the yeast you used tastes bad. Any chance it has the skunky or rotten egg taste like sulphur? Copper isn't usually very reactive, but it does react pretty readily with sulfur and some of the resulting compounds have a vibrant blue color and would taste awful.

Either way it's probably a bad idea to drink it.

    Worf cares too much about his code of conduct and public image to get along with the duplicates. He heavily polices his own actions, which will at the very least cause a lot of anxiety when one of the others behaves "incorrectly".

    It did mention that there may be a case against the company that sold the vacation package if specific promises were made about the meals. Like something specifically marketed towards people with dietary restrictions.

    International travel requires at least some flexibility and the lady in the article has none.

    Who is saying he's a threat to mainstream medicine or is going to ruin everything? Either he's right and will produce evidence to change the mainstream thinking or he is a grifter. And a grifter is a threat to their patients, not medicine in general.

    It's not standard procedure because the scans are expensive and there's no proof they are actually useful for the diagnosis. All of your points assume he is correct, but he has yet to produce evidence of this.

    The paragraph in that screenshot mixes facts commonly accepted by psychiatrists with things that are "likely related" in the same tone. Maybe he's referencing something I'm unaware of, but it sounds like this guy's unverified ideas are being given the same weight as information backed with a peer-reviewed study. A bit of a red flag.

    If he can really consistently diagnose based on these scans, he should have no problem making a repeatable study. On the flip side, too long without an actual study would be very suspicious.

    If what he writes helps you understand and manage your symptoms, that's great. But any "Dr. Somebody" confidently making bold claims against accepted science should be treated with skepticism. Too many people trying to make a quick buck by promising some miracle

    They are expensive to fly and maintain and their primary purpose as a high-altitude spy plane has been taken over by satellites.

    They are still really cool, we just don't have a good use for them.
