    But for a healthy person, “it would be impossible to overdose on bananas,” says Collins. "You would probably need around 400 bananas a day to build up the kind of potassium levels that would cause your heart to stop beating… Bananas are not dangerous - and in fact they are, and always have been, very good for you."

    Adults should consume about 3,500mg of potassium per day, according to the UK’s National Health Service. The average banana, weighing 125g, contains 450mg of potassium, meaning a healthy person can consume at least seven-and-half bananas before reaching the recommended level.

    There are some people who should steer clear of foods that are high in potassium though, warns Collins - those with kidney disease.

    “These patients have a very low kidney function which can potentially see a build-up of harmful potassium levels in their blood stream because they can’t get rid of the mineral when they pass urine,” she says. “So in theory it is possible for someone with kidney disease to die of a high blood potassium level if they decided to consume lots of different food types rich in the mineral.”

    She once had a patient on dialysis who had a heart attack after eating too many tomatoes - another fruit rich in potassium. His kidneys had already stopped working so he was unable to get rid of the excess.


  • In practice I feel like it’s a romantic quality, i.e. “since we are both non-binary, I feel we understand each other and I feel especially safe with you, and in fact this type of relationship is the only one I would want”,

    That does sound a lot like demisexual to me.

    If you call yourself homosexual I worry that some people might misinterpret it and try and figure out a binary gender for you, which is unhelpful.

    You could just say you’re attracted to other enbies if someone asks? One word labels aren’t always the most important thing.

    Someone I work with who always hand writes his code used copilot to write his commit message as usual this morning.

    Lo and behold it had snuck an “authored by copilot” tag onto the end of the message and github picked up on it and labeled the commit accordingly - when he saw “and copilot” next to his name on github he flipped his lid and ranted about how copilot only exists on the back of stolen code from humans and it has no right to claim any credit whatsoever to anything original like being an author ever.

    He edited out the attribution and force pushed it before anyone else could commit on top of it.

    (Apparently copilot writes commit messages in such a way that no matter how trivial the edit, it sounds like he’d been planning and working for hours and hours on it.)
