This makes more sense here than anywhere else in the world.

I thought being "a little fat" was okay, now. At least that's what I've been observing. 😄 I'm glad they at least mentioned parental involvement at the end. That was my first thought.

Sounds like you might have some good friends.🤣 I had trouble starting my Stihl Blower a few days ago. Turns out I couldn't remember which way the on/off switch was supposed to go. I absolutely hate when they use symbols instead of words. "I" on one side and "O" on the other. How hard is it to put the words "on" and "off" on a thumb switch?

I'm guessing it's quieter. You can buy a lot of ear plugs for the price difference.

You saw it was FedEx, right? Just be happy if it gets to you in one piece.

So, when you said "zero side-effects", were you referring to Mike? You must be one tough SOB to put up with that just to loose a few silly pounds.

Make it a hybrid.

LOL. I had to Google that one.

You're educated enough. A quick search revealed a lot of articles, but most stated "claims not scientifically proven". One said that any part of the Moringa plant is edible. Scroll a little farther, and another said avoid the roots, as they contain a toxic substance. Can't remember the name of the substance. I agree that it probably isn't for me.

New Blower motor from RockAuto runs from $18 to 49. Additional $10 for the blower motor module. Blower motor relay is $8.50 to 22. How much time have you spent on this already?

Probably make a good engine for a 3 or 4 wheel project. I met a guy at the drag races who built a 4-wheel "pit vehicle" with a Virago 1100 V-twin. A metal bar stool was the seat. Wheelbase was about 3 feet. Picture one of those electric Igloo coolers that you can ride. Yes, he did take it down the drag strip once. ONCE. Didn't crash, but he came back whiter than a Norwegian albino.

The way I see it for this particular case, that "scale" is very heavy on the side of history, and very light on the side of speculative research where any number of substances can cause the same problems. Scientists looking to make a name for themselves are more likely to "fudge" results/conclusions, because they face little consequences for being wrong. For the record, below is the statement that pegged my BS meter. Eating just a single egg a week appeared to increase the odds of diabetes by 76 percent. Two eggs a week appeared to double the odds, and just a single egg a day tripled the odds.

I had never heard of Moringa. Guess I will do some research.

You're sad that I made a clever motorcycle analogy?

If there are dozens more, why not start with the American sources? (rhetorical) You can find "studies" on how just about anything in the universe will kill or cure. Given how long chickens have been walking the planet, and humans have been eating their babies, with rampant diabetes being relatively new, I think you can understand my skepticism. Perhaps the real problem is something more modern? Plus, results rarely apply to everyone. However, everyone does have an agenda. Even scientists and doctors. You can show me a thousand motorcycle crashes, and I will still ride. (mic drop)
