After much 'research' I have decided the risk of getting a bad, or one that fails within a year or 2, IP duo evo plus is simply too great. I have ordered an IP duo plus - £40 less. The main deficits are; no locking bowl handles, so it's spiny spiny time when stirring stuff, but all of my...

The Viva would appear to be the same as the Duo plus V1 (i.e. before they added sous vide - as an aside isn't sous vide just bagged food boiled inna bag - the ultimate in low quality convenience food that wasn't?), other than it's using an older IP cosmetic style on the interface panel - nice to...

Well this is driving me nuts. The evo has an 'issue' with c8 errors (wrong pot and/or burn error) even when using the correct pot. Over some parts of the internet it seems that hundreds of people all have this problem and it renders the instant pot more or less useless. For most reducing the...

So a study on whether or not water can be used to help deal with dehydration? Did they consider it a serious risk that it wouldn't? Will there be a follow up study to determine if hunger can be treated with food? The wonders of scientific research when getting a positive result is more...

They've already had over a 100 years but chose not to. At every point, they chose to do, worse than, nothing for their patients. Rather than listen, believe, and study, the symptoms their patients were reporting, a decision was made, by medicine in general, that it was fine to not just ignore...

So still not prepared to say/accept that it simply doesn't work, that it simply cannot work, for people with ME. Saying its been withdrawn just due to reported harms leaves the door open for BPS in several respects. Which may be why its being reported in this way.

I thought the whole taste and smell thing was explained months ago?

As far as I am aware, in the UK, the Instant Pot Duo Evo Plus only comes in one size. That size is......5.7L https://www.instantpot.co.uk/product/duo-evo-plus-5-7l-10-in-1-multi-use-pressure-cooker/ The US also has an 8L version I believe. I particularly like that, unlike the ones I have...

I'm in the market for a new electronic pressure cooker and I'm considering one of these depending on the discount on 'Black Friday'. Has anyone got any experience with this model? Possibly someone who had a previous model and has upgraded? Is it worth the aprox £100 I would expect it to be...

'Unprofitable' would seem to be the closest word ;)

Surely asking the people who've been subject to it, a few days later, would gain that information.

I suspect that health services and doctors all over the world, in describing 'long covid' as a 'novel' thing, may be suffering from a collective and wilful dementia themselves. It's not exactly medicines first encounter with a very, very, similar set of symptoms after a virus - but somehow...

You 'might' be able to swing it for only £300pp - under the 'Voluntary sector & charities' rate. That's only 3 weeks worth of welfare benefits.

I would imagine they are 'having a word' with various people, so that when they do pipe up the ground has already been prepared in a way they like. So that they can be seen as agreeing, with someone else who doesn't like the draft, rather than instigating. Standard BPS cover your own arse...

I think I'd prefer to try another approach, that isn't really for symptoms, but might help me feel better. Instead of a course of CBT, can I have cash? A few million should be enough to see if it has a measurable effect on my short, medium, and long term sense of well being.

Given past history it seems likely they will just redefine things so that people will get better. Probably by means of redefining things so that any health problems are no longer seen 'medically' as such, are seen as malingering, or neurotic, or attention seeking, etc. So, not only will...

Yes well. .. Some psychiatric problems may lead to behaviours that make catching coronavirus more likely, so I suppose they could be seen as predisposing towards long covid, in that sense only. I doubt that is what they intend people to understand from their statement tho. As for their long...

This is not, in my experience, what pacing is. Pacing is taking small, appropriate, steps towards a goal, with appropriate rests in between. The problem is, the largest one at least, IMO, that they have the goal wrong. My goals are to be able to prepare a meal, to get a bath occasionally, to...
