Another good "compared to what" article... Is Plant-Based Meat Healthy? We have to ask: Compared to what? Food is a zero sum game. Each time we eat, there’s an opportunity cost, a lost opportunity to put something even healthier in our mouth. For example, are eggs healthy? Yes, when compared to a breakfast sausage link, but not when compared to oatmeal. Plant-based meat alternatives are no match for unprocessed plant foods, such as beans or lentils, and a bean burrito or lentil soup could certainly fill the same culinary niche as a lunchtime burger. But, if you are going to have some kind of burger, it’s easy to argue that the plant-based versions are healthier. And comparative environmental damage... According to the United Nations, meat and dairy production would need to be doubled to meet the predicted demand for animal-based proteins in 2050, but the opposite is required to contain the ecological damage. As I discuss in my video The Environmental Impacts of Plant-Based Meat Substitutes, if we have any chance of sustainably meeting future food needs, we must lower our meat consumption. The largest barrier to following a plant-based diet may simply be meat appreciation. https://nutritionfacts.org/blog/plant-based-meats-and-our-health/

I haven't used this on anything super rusty, but mild oxidation and other surface issues on all metals mostly disappear. I polished the XR pipe with really great results, but of course, it was not bad at all to start with (and not chrome obviously).

It does sound likely to be the switch. Have you disassembled and cleaned/inspected the contacts inside the switch? It's easy, just watch for flying springs.

Yeah, I probably could qualify now to get some of this covered, as unfortunately the glucose control is getting worse (when off tirzepatide). But then we have that shit, and I wonder if I'm better off just continuing to self-administer, self-prescribe, and self-fund.

Ok, this is critical. Does the light turn on immediately, and not blink. Or does the light sometimes not turn on at all? Also what Joe said; swap sides.

As with many things, even down to cooking, what a pro uses and all the backup and help he has don't apply to use plebes. There are obviously reasons, they may have nothing to do with what we do.

I don't know what "yoke actuator mechanism" means, do you mean the insides of the switch itself? Because that's where I'd start, remove the switch and clean inside, check the contacts for oxidation, pitting, etc. Also define "blinks sometimes" because it could mean a few things. Do you mean that you push the switch to the right, and it may turn on and flash, or may not turn on at all? Or turns on and stays on? Or...?

I haven't had call to use a DA sander for anything in a long time, so I have no familiarity with newer ones. The air model uses a ludicrous amount of air, which I think you have, but FYI. It's also so insanely noisy, and the air blows the shit around so much. I also don't see a purpose for battery sanders, but again, everything I do is with one high end random orbital and that has far less power than most DA. The one clear winner that I know of with air is nailers and staplers. The battery ones are insanely huge and expensive, air models are tiny, cheap, and light. I've wanted to get set up to use them in the wood shop, to set up projects during assembly (just a temporary hold). But I haven't, and after saying this for five years, they need to just go. I've found other ways to do it. All of this needs to go. I think I also have a manifold and poly tubing setup sitting around.

The new battery powered tools that make air obsolete are indeed much more powerful. Sorry, not what you asked but that's the first thing that hit me about this, and also I need to just finally empty those drawers of air things that have not been touched in five years.

And I mean, literally, in the last 1-2 months, packages are changing and proclaiming a new and better ingredient list.

That was exactly my point; it's changing and -ahem- maturing very fast as a product. What you saw/researched/tasted a year ago has changed a lot. That was indeed the list for one of the options, which I think most would not consider a processed food. I suspect it's more expensive, but I have no idea. Never looked at the price. I would expect to pay much more, again, for now, it's changing.

Good for health and society, bad for the corporate interests... https://www.wsj.com/arts-culture/food-cooking/steak-restaurants-dinner-seafood-257c2c53 Steakhouses Are In, but Not for Their Steak Many customers are looking for a splashy night out with less red meat And yet the past few years have not been kind to the American steakhouse. The plant-based revolution not only threatened its relevance but also triggered an existential crisis: Should these temples of beef even exist when it’s a known cause of climate change? The pandemic didn’t help, either. Steakhouses were hit hard. In Chicago, the unofficial capital of steakhouses, they closed at twice the rate of other types of restaurants.

As awareness builds of just how bad factory farming and beef is for both health and the environment, they need to do something. Cleaning up the industry would be expensive, so let's just gaslight kids instead. https://apple.news/AqQcGdTHeT4m_XzycS3qIAA

Also this shit is why I'm so highly motivated to keep making my videos and telling people how to buy and use generic Mounjaro. Fuck those fuckers. I keep getting bans, and I keep getting better at evading them.

Well see if you NEED water, well, it's $10/gallon, what are you gonna do, not drink? But those people over there who don't need water, let's see if they will try ours if it's $1. But I know what you're saying, it would be great to hear their attempt at a rational justification. And they are absolutely 100% the same product for sure, I have a pile from both sources. Oh, the standard version doesn't come with a cover patch, and if you're highly active, you tear them off your body. Ask me how I know. I buy adhesives and covers to try to make them last. The cheap ones include a bag of covers in each batch from their pharmacy.

As I said, no insurance coverage. Sam's has the best cash price.

Damn. Jeeps are very good about water up to about the top of the drive tunnel. Their official depth is a little below that. The carpets and seats are surprisingly good at dealing with water. Draining and ventilation should clear things up alright. There is a one way (outward) vent in the tailgate, so if you can blow some air in such as with a fan in a window, you can dry it out well.

How's the kid? The known water leak points for those is along the removable top to the windshield, and the top to the center bar. I can't recall on those years if the water could travel from the front to the back. The front is the most notorious leak spot. If you pull the carpet, there are drain plugs in the floor. You can get a Jeep pretty full of water and not hurt it. I happen to know how much is too much. It's a lot.

And that's good. Everything is relative, a plant cheese is less perfect than a piece of broccoli, but probably way better than actual cheese. Cutting it all out is idea, there are just options to be aware of if you choose not to. Note that my response was relative to "pizza" and not relative to a bowl of veggies. Relative. This is whole food, pretty well unprocessed. Unless you think putting plants in a blender is processing. Ingredients: Cashews, Filtered Water, Sea Salt, Natural Flavor, Cultured Brown Rice, Lactic Acid, Cultures.

I've been using these constant blood sugar monitors for a while to try to get the glucose under control. For a pre-diabetic, insurance won't cover it. You need to be fully diabetic. Why would anyone want to do something preventive?? Anyway they are expensive. I recently found that there's a source for them intended for weight loss, not a hard medical reason and experimental, not FDA approved. And they are 35% less that way. But during their intake I had accurately said that I had blood sugar issues, so they told me they can't provide them for that reason. But I could, you know, fill out a new intake form... So real need: No insurance and $180 Elective usage: Under $120

Yeah that RWD side step, very controlled, makes it fun. The AWD is pointless in Southern CA, might as well have the fun version.

And still less garbage than factory farmed dairy. But, unless you've looked at the ingredient lists for some of the latest options, how would you know?
