@SearsHomeExpert fun story about your lack of service and problematic ai call centre. Called for a technician to repair our gas range who arrived five days later with the first appointment opening. All good, then listens to the problem I’m having (could have just called) ….
So remembering I’m an engineer - I fix the problem myself in 10 minutes with a hair dryer and eraser. Then I call @SearsHomeExpert to request a refund for the absurd service call, only to encounter an ai agent and no humans with no way to file complaint or request recourse …
The entire thing reads like a scam, particularly when you’re ai agent refers to its own number to file a complaint. Anyone else have this issue? @SearsHomeExpert want to chime in?

You can reinterpret your genetic codes through the food you eat. Your DNA is merely a blueprint, the environment controls your epigenetic sequence which ultimately decides what gets built. #epigenetics #futurefood #sciencetwitter #science
For anyone curious about epigenetics, our 'other genome', here's a good overview of the impact of nutrition and environmental impacts on the epigenome. mdpi.com/1422-0067/19/11/342…
As individuals we have a right and a responsibility to take more agency in our future of food and eating. Many of us are unconsciously ‘hands off the steering wheel’ and giving the responsibility of food up to others. Food, as the…lnkd.in/gJMtM-U lnkd.in/gms9RqE
Interesting new paper exploring the brain’s electromagnetic field as the substrate for consciousness. Curious how the things we consume would influence the conscious electromagnetic information field of the mind. #futurefood #consciousness

Now that we’re recalibrating food systems. What do we optimize around? Sustainability? Health? If we overshoot those goals do they get dark as well. How does technology fit into this context?
