  1. Notice I've never said we should get rid of meat, and I changed my position on health aspect long BEFORE I stopped eating it (mostly, I haven't)? I can't speak for others.
  2. So once again, back to humans are the problem because they demand factory farming? Adding more plants into the American diet has a wide number of benefits for the humans, the cows, and the overall environment (which in turn is good for the humans).
  3. Also, I told you guys that cheese was bad, and cheese causes crime.
  4. I can't find any data on that. But thankfully, the move to defund the police in Alaska has led to a sharp reduction in squirrel attacks. However Ford isn't happy about what global rice consumption is doing to them.
  5. Meanwhile, Illinois is fucking everything up by abusing GMO corn, causing Cuba to use more fossil fuels. Paper proving this problem: https://tylervigen.com/spurious/research-papers/2597_stalk-talk-unearthing-the-corny-connection-between-gmos-in-illinois-and-fossil-fuel-fun-in-cuba.pdf
  6. Eat the plants instead of wasting most of their energy on making meat??? Did I have to type that out?
  7. Yes, by doing things like factory farming.
  8. https://www.engadget.com/youve-tried-plant-based-meat-but-here-come-meat-based-plants-163654564.html You’ve tried plant-based meat, but here come meat-based plants South Korean researchers infused actual rice grains with cow muscle and fat cells.
  9. I gave up on those completely. I'm glad I did. They are just too fragile, and you end up trying to be SOOO careful, and then slice yourself open as a reward. Go ahead, ask me how I know. I have them as a backup in bags, but now never use them. I got a Dewalt folding utility knife and the Dewalt carbide blades that will cut almost anything. Have never looked back.
  10. There's controversy on that practice, and some evidence of harm. It's fatiguing and distracting when awake. It's why NC headphones on a plane reduce jet lag and travel fatigue. https://krisp.ai/blog/background-noise-impact/ Does Noise harm your Brain? Well yes. It turns out, the continuous background noise also known as white noise which comes from machines and other appliances, can harm your brain, it does so by overstimulating your auditory cortex– the part of the brain that helps us perceive sound. And it’s even worse in children. Dr. Norman Doidge, a psychiatrist, researcher and faculty at the University of Toronto’s Department of Psychiatry, in his book The Brain That Changes Itself cites one disturbing study which showed that the closer children lived to the noisy airport in Frankfurt, Germany, the lower their intelligence was.
  11. Oooh, yes. Insanity-inducing. And I think it uses directional phasing to pretend to be stereo. It has seven (I think) speakers in all directions. I *love* the HomePods in the garages for listening from afar and filling the space, but not close by.
  12. Even the floats are hard to get because "they never go bad" according to our biggest dirt bike shop. I hope Al gets past the hangover today and finally ships the fucking carb. Probably what Mike has on his.
  13. I should go outside and check it.......no leak.
  14. EDM-pop at low levels, and it has to be stereo. How would I know? Tried using a single HomePod and it made me insane (quality is excellent, wasn't that).
  15. Rubber also, but it likely was aftermarket. I had this from Walt, but then thought, the rubber should seal... That's a bummer. It's seems like when carbs act like that the only fix is a new one. As a last ditch effort, I take a q-tip and cut the stalk at a sharp angle and chuck it up in a drill. Spray the float seat with wd40 and place the sharp tip into the seat hole and polish it with light pressure for a few minutes or until the stalk breaks. If that doesn't fix it, new carb time, or if the seat is replaceable, new needle and seat time.
  16. What kind of oil were they using, and what was their preferred carry caliber?
  17. Why Do Milk Drinkers Live Shorter Lives on Average? https://nutritionfacts.org/video/why-do-milk-drinkers-live-shorter-lives-on-average/?subscriber=true https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31776125/ AND have higher incidences of some bone fractures? Could we have been lied to by billionaires peddling their goods?
  18. https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-024-00418-9 An analysis of around 1,500 blood proteins has identified biomarkers that can be used to predict the risk of developing dementia up to 15 years before diagnosis. The findings, reported today in Nature Aging1, are a step towards a tool that scientists have been in search of for decades: blood tests that can detect Alzheimer’s disease and other forms of dementia at a very early, pre-symptomatic stage. Researchers screened blood samples from more than 50,000 healthy adults in the UK Biobank, 1,417 of whom developed dementia in a 14-year period. They found that high blood levels of four proteins — GFAP, NEFL, GDF15 and LTBP2 — were strongly associated with dementia. “Studies such as this are required if we are to intervene with disease-modifying therapies at the very earliest stage of dementia,” said Amanda Heslegrave, a neuroscientist at University College London, in a statement to the Science Media Centre in London. Late diagnosis According to the World Health Organization, more than 55 million people worldwide currently live with dementia. People are often diagnosed only when they notice memory problems or other symptoms. At that point, the disease might have been progressing for years. “Once we diagnose it, it’s almost too late,”
  19. One size does fit all when it comes to risk reduction. We have very well proven this. The question or variable is how much risk and how much reduction. Genetics is becoming less of a factor in many diseases, we're discovering, but interestingly enough, it's becoming more of a factor in T2. More than T1...the genetic version of diabetes. 100% of Americans will be healthier with more plants and less animals.
  20. Coincidentally, another doctor I follow posted this a couple hours ago, but it's just a reference to something he wrote up years ago. https://nutritionfacts.org/video/what-causes-diabetes/ What Causes Diabetes? Michael Greger M.D. FACLM · June 26, 2015 · Volume 25 3.6/5 - (313 votes) Saturated fat can be toxic to the insulin-producing beta cells in the pancreas, explaining why animal fat consumption can impair insulin secretion, not just insulin sensitivity.
  21. "Primarily" != "Only" I try to use precise, medical, fact based terms as much as possible. The exact wording of the headline actually came from another doctor word for word. And they shouldn't be taken to mean anything more than what they say directly. I just had some pretty unhealthy meats this weekend, I'm not a saint, just *aware* of what it means.
  22. I can't tell if you're trolling. Risk reduction and correlation don't work that way, but it is less likely. "Non-smokers shouldn't get lung cancer?"
