The Mexican house cleaners say they eat them raw, like a banana, when they get ultra-ripe and turning black. Will have to try it.

Still working on finding out. Also I've always been a traditionalist with them, but today I decided to try some really high end gochujang, and it's fucking great. Does it make me a crackhead that I take an occasional sip of the mojo because not enough sticks to the plantains?

I use the pressure cooker. An Instant Pot can change everything about how you cook and help with the healthy prep. I have a three quart for small batches (oats, rice, coconut yogurt etc) and an eight quart for beans and stews. Lots of stews and chile type options that are whole food. I have no idea how to cook them otherwise, and microwave sounds like a no-go to me. Another option is overnight oats where you just let them sit in the liquid. I haven't done it, lots of people love this method.

Also, addressing item B above, that can happen in ways that don't do much inside a home. That's where repeaters can help. If they did outdoor coverage decently.

Yes, that's exactly how it works. Source: Was one of those people doing high end rural services. Here's the thing, even "free" money can't make everything possible. And the FCC prioritizes bringing NEW services to a place well over bringing upgrades. So you have a wire, someone else has nothing, they get fiber. In live in a place with fiber gigabit, closer into town they have copper 100-300 meg. It's just all about timing and funding. When I was doing rural internet we were constantly fighting about the fact that this is a brand new service unlike the existing service, so it could be funded.

Rural customers only have service at all because: a. The rest of us fund it for you via RUSF and related government schemes. b. People from the city want coverage when they travel and basically subsidize it. c. A few brave people have fought the FCC to be allowed to put up small private sites in areas that aren't profitable for big business, and collect from the above. If part A above is any measure, you guys should start getting much better service. Cheeto's FCC increased the USF fees by double, from about 16% to about 33%. So don't forget to thank him.

Also, the more I think about it, the more I realize this equipment is probably insane to install in a house and to do so without previous RF experience. Probably not logical to do.

Sorry, I really don't know. I used to have a very expensive paid service for that, and no longer do. https://phonetonetech.com/check-frequency-band-on-iphone-or-android-phone/ https://signalbooster.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/115004705354-How-To-Check-What-Frequency-Band-Is-Used-By-The-Cell-Phone- https://www.google.com/search?q=find+out+what+bands+are+used+in+my+area&oq=find+out+what+bands+are+used+in+my+area&aqs=chrome..69i57.5402j0j1&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8

Plantains are a pretty good and useful fruit, and you can use them green or ripe in different ways. They are common in Cuban meals. On Saturday morning, my extremely white neighbor came over with a shitload of veggies she picked up at some place that basically gives away overstock produce. She wanted to know if I had any idea what to do with the very strange bananas. "They taste horrible in a smoothie!" LOL So anyway, I've had about 15 so far and got four more in the air fryer. They caramelize nicely, then are dipped in mojo criollo--bitter orange, garlic, optional onion, and cumin. Fucking delicious. Real food, if a bit starchy, but with a low glycemic index. I wonder how many I can eat before they go bad? I'll slice a bunch in the mandolin this afternoon, then put some in the dehydrator, and some in the smoker. You can't buy banana/plantain chips commercially without sugar, oil, and salt. Fucking retarded. Something so delicious on its own and they have to add shit?

I paid less for mine new. https://www.cycletrader.com/listing/1999-Honda-CBR+1100XX-5018324402?cmp=email_cycle_search-alert

Pay for shipping, it's a medium-large box and probably 30 pounds. My guess is $40-60 to ship. WARNING: It's ONLY for the 800 and 1900 bands, LTE. This means mostly rural Verizon and AT&T. You need to find out whether this works in your area. Verizon, and to some extent, still have a lot of 800 deployed for long range coverage. I can get model numbers and details if someone thinks they want it. I removed it from a client site to replace with a 5G all-band repeater, was working. I stuck it in a box and it sat for the last year or two. Has: Amp box (the brains) Two inside antennas, with splitter Probably around 60' of LMR400 to run the outside antenna A bunch of LMR for inside, probably about 25' and two of those Power supply Not sure on outside antenna, but probably This has to mount like this so the outside antenna can see the signal, then the box, then the inside antennas where you want coverage. This will take a good outside signal and make a great inside signal.

Yak.

You didn't spend enough time with a polisher. Even though I bought paint to touch it up and repaint the mirrors which were really matte, some time with 12k paper and some polish on a pad fixed everything other than the cracks. I ended up not using the (retarded expensive) three-layer paint supplies.

I have a few. Surprisingly few, after having it for a while.

I went with LED, and thought they looked good. Bright as hell.

Will also be selling the lathe and related tools, and a Jet edge/belt sander.

I got this as part of a deal and never used it. Really nice hip pack with multiple pockets, strong and wide belt. $25 shipped, sells for $50-ish retail.

It's that time of year, garage-shop spaces are being cleaned up to start using them again, and shit is going away. None of this is very rational to ship, so I'm throwing it out here for our few near-ish members or anyone who thinks it could be worth shipping or putting on a bus. I think I'm underpricing everything but want it to go. One thing not listed yet is a full set of paintball gear, like a huge steamer trunk sized container. I haven't even opened it in over five years, need to get pics and inventory. No idea what it's worth, and I'd be happy to get a couple hundred and be done. It was all mid-high end stuff at its time, and I got it from a business partner who was upgrading to truly high end stuff. https://phoenix.craigslist.org/nph/mpo/d/phoenix-dirt-bike-riding-gear-for-the/7400384894.html https://phoenix.craigslist.org/nph/for/d/phoenix-ninebot-segway-mini-standing/7400382118.html Other stuff not yet listed, and easy to ship, is a shitload of traditional 2.4 GHz Spektrum RC parts, some planes, and some helicopters and a quadcopter (again, old style not self-flying). If there's any interest in this we can talk details. And I mean a LUDICROUS amount of radios and shit. Oh, an RC boat too, fucking fast. I'm flying modern quads lately and not flying or using any of the older stuff. EDIT: Also, meetup in Los Angeles or Vegas areas are not out of the question, as I'll be going to both at some point. No firm plan yet but it's coming.

I used mine in a helmet before I got S-Plugs, and they were fine. The helmet had removable ear pocket foam and I took it out, put in speakers, and then used the Etymotics as protection for long rides. Speakers for around town.

A different study concurs with the above, and also finds that soy consumption significantly reduces the risk of prostate cancer for American men. The bottom line is to include more soy in your diet. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5793268/ Neither soy food intake nor circulating isoflavones were associated with advanced PCa risk, although very few studies currently exist to examine potential associations. Combined, this evidence from observational studies shows a statistically significant association between soy consumption and decreased PCa risk. Further studies are required to support soy consumption as a prophylactic dietary approach to reduce PCa carcinogenesis. Articles reporting total soy intake and PCa risk had a pooled RR of 0.61 (95% CI: 0.45–0.82, p = 0.001) for case-control studies and a pooled RR of 0.90 (95% CI: 0.82–0.99, p = 0.022) for cohort and NCC studies. Studies conducted in both North America (p = 0.009) and Europe (p = 0.021) were significantly associated with a reduced PCa risk, whereas studies conducted in Asia (p = 0.064) were not. A complete subgroup analysis can be found in Table 2. Cumulative meta-analyses first demonstrated that soy food intake was significantly associated with the reduced risk of PCa in 1998 and has remained significant over time, and with the inclusion of additional studies within the field (Figure A3).

Broccoli, cauliflower, sliced water chestnuts, bamboo shoots. Sprinkled with Chinese five spice and some onion and garlic powder, I was too lazy to cut garlic and was out of onions because, you know, death and all that. Tiny bit of sesame oil spray. No chicken or even tofu this time. I was out working in the shop late and whipped this up while hungry and done for the day. I feel a cleansing bowel movement coming.

Stir fry veggies with sichuan red chile-garlic crunch, red chile pods, black sichuan peppers, sriracha. Probably not fit for human consumption, but OH MY GOD SO FUCKING GOOD. Two pods per bite might be excessive. Morning may be interesting.

Long ago, a bunch of concerns were raised about phytoestrogens and that they could be "castrating" men. The basic premise is that they chemically look similar to female hormones. This is commonly used to deliver drugs, by making them look like something else. Or it can also be a drug that looks like something and blocks the uptake of the real thing (SSRIs for example, caffeine too). In this case it turns out that not only does soy not negatively affect men, the blocking effect can keep estrogen out of cells. This may be related to one of soy's many benefits in women (I'm suggesting that on my own, it's not part of this study). My best guess is that the meat industries threw this out there along with the protein fallacy to protect themselves. They are the largest consumer of soy, as feed. They would much rather have that to themselves at the lowest price, process it into less healthy and less nutritious meat, then sell it at a markup. Soy is a fantastic addition to a whole food diet and has a great deal of benefits on its own, aside from pretending to be meat. Air fried soy cubes are damn good in a lot of things. Recently a friend who is a recovering meat addict fed me some strips she'd made and marinated, then air toasted, just alone. That was fucking great. I have to admit I never thought of just making it as a standalone snack. I'll also admit that I had originally fallen for the testosterone bullshit, but then it started to look really fishy. So for the last few years I've been artificially limiting my soy intake for no reason. Though with new evidence, I've been using it a bit more. https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0890623820302926 TT and FT levels were measured in 1753 and 752 men, respectively; E2 and E1 levels were measured in 1000 and 239 men, respectively and SHBG was measured in 967 men. The youngest men were aged 18 years [55,84] and the oldest participants were aged 81 years [77]. Several studies included more than one experimental arm, for example a SPC arm and a SPI arm, thus the total number of groups included in analyses exceeded the total number of studies. Some studies involved multiple quantities of soy, or soy in different forms. For example, both Swart et al. [70] and Hamilton- Reeves et al. [57] included a SPI with added isoflavones group and a SPI alone group. Kalman et al. [60] included a SPI group and a SPC group and the study by Kumar et al. [63] included 3 groups who consumed supplements providing different amounts of isoflavones. Most studies that did not intervene with supplements used SPI or SPC, several studies used other forms including red clover [68,80], soymilk/yogurt [66,76], tofu [75] or soybeans [92]. 3.1. Effect of soy and isoflavone exposure on circulating reproductive hormone concentrations As shown in Table 2, there were no significant effects of soy or isoflavone exposure on any of the hormones considered regardless of whether the data were analyzed using statistical approach A) comparison of change in the treatment versus the control arms of parallel/controlled and crossover trials or change over time in all active arms. Here's a short article on some of the benefits: https://www.healthline.com/health/phytoestrogens#benefits

Keep updating us. I always like to learn from what others experience.

Crack is wack, yo! $8k, lol. Pretty clean though. https://www.cycletrader.com/listing/1999-Honda-CBR+1100XX-5018276921?cmp=email_cycle_search-alert
