Shit, we don't have a fuck you you fuckin fuck reaction emoji.

Yet another great reason to block all ads and use only commercial-free TV. https://nutritionfacts.org/blog/are-food-ads-making-us-obese/?utm_source=NutritionFacts.org&utm_campaign=1f63548980-RSS_BLOG_DAILY&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_40f9e497d1-1f63548980-28710906&mc_cid=1f63548980 This can play out in the real world by potentiating the effect of advertising. Have people watch a TV show with commercials for unhealthy snacks, and, no surprise, they eat more unhealthy snacks compared to those exposed to non-food ads. Or maybe that is a surprise. We all like to think we’re in control and not so easily manipulated. The kicker, though, is that we may be even more susceptible the less we pay attention. Randomize people to the same two-digit or seven-digit memorization task during the TV show, and the snack-attack effect was magnified among those who were more preoccupied. How many of us have the TV on in the background or multi-task during commercial breaks? Research suggests that may make us even more impressionable to the subversion of our better judgment.

Note that the factory farmed eggs are specifically lowest in the neuroprotective parts. Indeed. It's hard to assess all of this because none of these diets live in a vacuum. A person who eats eggs by definition is not following a whole food diet. And is typically also consuming "normal" amounts of factory farmed meat which is a hell of a lot. So it's impossible to get great numbers on "eats really well AND has some eggs." For the cholesterol specifically it's hard to control for it.

I didn't ask the question, it's from the article, however you do have the choice on how you further subsidize them by buying the shit. Say no. Buy other (real) food.

So pointless rant, it was the analog component after all? Also you're pretty handy, you can buy one on Amazon to keep around. And my home warranty makes those $100.

But they are also deadly... High in Cholesterol, Higher Health Risks Salmonella concerns aside, a single egg has 207 milligrams of cholesterol on average and some experts suggest that eating even one egg a day may exceed the safe upper limit for cholesterol intake in terms of cardiovascular disease risk. Dietary cholesterol may also contribute to nonalcoholic fatty liver disease, and cholesterol consumption was found to be a strong predictor of cirrhosis and liver cancer. After a meal that includes eggs, triglycerides and blood cholesterol shoot up. Those consuming the amount of cholesterol found in two Egg McMuffins or more each day appeared to double their risk of hospitalization or death. It’s no wonder the Dietary Guidelines of Americans mirror the National Academies of Science recommendation to consume as little cholesterol as possible. https://nutritionfacts.org/video/does-dietary-cholesterol-eggs-raise-blood-cholesterol/ And there's estrogen in eggs and dairy products. https://nutritionfacts.org/video/estrogen-in-meat-dairy-and-eggs/ This is a motherfucker of a correlation... Eggs and Diabetes 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. Once we then have diabetes, eggs may hasten our death. Eating one egg or more a day appears to shorten anyone’s lifespan, but it may double the all-cause mortality for those with diabetes.

We've had this conversation in pieces here and there. Most recently with the cholesterol discussion. My bottom line is that there's good evidence that you shouldn't eat them daily or probably even more than four a week or so. But they also have benefits. One critical thing though is quality and source. The generic factory farmed eggs are likely to be lowest in the good compounds and high in shit you don't want. For example the qualities from this summary are lowest in general factory farmed eggs. Eggs are extremely neuroprotective Discussion Dietary Egg Protein Prevents Hyperhomocysteinemia via Upregulation of Hepatic Betaine-Homocysteine S-Methyltransferase Activity. Elevated homocysteine levels increase neurotoxicity and risk of stroke. Eggs are one of the highest food sources of choline, with an impressive 147 mg per large egg. reduces risk of dementia. https://alzheimersnewstoday.com/news/diet-rich-in-choline-aids-memory-lowers-dementia-risk-study-suggests/ egg are high in phospholipids which further improve cognition and helps get DHA from omega 3 into the brain. One of the best dietary sources of lutein which is extremely important not just for eye health but also the brain. "The egg yolk contains high amount of vitamin A, D, E, K, B1, B2, B5, B6, B9, and B12, while egg white possesses high amounts of vitamins B2, B3, and B5 but also significant amounts of vitamins B1, B6, B8, B9, and B12 (Table 2). Eating two eggs per day covers 10% to 30% of the vitamin requirements for humans" "Egg is rich in phosphorus, calcium, potassium, and contains moderate amounts of sodium (142 mg per 100 g of whole egg) (Table 3). It also contains all essential trace elements including copper, iron, magnesium, manganese, selenium, and zinc (Table 3), with egg yolk being the major contributor to iron and zinc supply." https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6470839/

For filling wood defects, I make a mixture of the sawdust with the wood glue. I just realized that's it, LOL.

Well shit, there's an idea.

I forgot about the diverticulitis. It may have been you who first told me about these bars. I've marginally used them when there was no other choice, as road food and such, for a while. Realized there's little reason not to use them in moderation and bought boxes to have around. For me the Rxbar has a pastiness that's not pleasant. I'll eat them for fuel, but don't like it.

These taste like a desert, but have very low processing and junk. Good protein, reasonably satisfying. Way better than all of the other "diet" or "nutrition" type bars I've had. Nutritionally they aren't perfect whole food, but far from junk. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00IZF0LCE?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07WYK5CCX?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details While I love peanut butter, overall I like the almond ones better, slightly. Ingredients: Peanuts, chicory root fiber, honey, glucose syrup, palm kernel oil, sugar, peanut flour, rice flour, peanut butter (peanuts, sea salt), sea salt, nonfat milk powder, soy lecithin, peanut oil.

ABS would be my number one guess for a random problem. I'd certainly start with all the basics. Battery connections and battery state, particularly ground. You could be shocked (HEH) at all the ABS problems originating from this. Fluid...is it old/shitty, possible contamination, low fluid, air...the usual. And general brake problems like a stuck caliper.

In the 1970s, the U.S. government went from just subsidizing some of the worst foods to paying companies to make more of them: “Congress passed laws reversing long-standing farm policies aimed at protecting prices by limiting production” and started giving payouts in proportion to output. Extra calories started pouring into the food supply. Then Jack Welch gave a speech. In 1981, the CEO of General Electric effectively launched the “shareholder value movement,” reorienting the primary goal of corporations towards maximizing short-term returns for investors. This placed extraordinary pressure from Wall Street on food companies to post increasing profit growth every quarter to boost their share price. There was already a glut of calories on the market and now they had to sell even more.

Funny, and true. At least it would have told the fan speed to know there was a problem. And no retarded-ass analog shit to slowly burn over the years, become marginally good enough to make us think it works, but fuck it all up. Computer shit at least mostly works or not.

I guess we proved that both types suck equally.

LOL! I have an analog system. For nearly ten years the speed was all fucked up but I didn't know it. We had odd issues that couldn't be diagnosed. Turns out that it was both wired to the wrong speeds, and there was a defect in the analog controller. If I had a digital system, it would be easy to program it and to see the results. I don't look forward to this expense at all, but the next one will be fully variable speed and all computer control.

LOL, any Escort product. It was from Moriah's VR4 Laser jammer. She hard-installed it and the portable smartcord was just found in a box.

Anyone want one?

More than half of all calories consumed by most adults in the United States were found to originate from these subsidized foods, and they appear to be worse off for it. Those eating the most had significantly higher levels of chronic disease risk factors, including elevated cholesterol, inflammation, and body weight.

Perfect. The evidence shows that between 50 and 70 is ideal. There's no improvement in health beyond 50, but a huge improvement between 30 or less and 50.

I was told by multiple shops that nobody gets polarized, and indeed it's hard to order. Which is good, because that sucks for screen usability. What they do highly recommend are all of the advanced coatings that block blue light, UV, IR, etc etc. The actual glare, without blocking much light. So I've run with the high-end photochromic add-on (Nikon I think) for a long time. Dark enough when needed, even inside a car, but not so dark that it's challenging to see. No glare, big improvement with computer screens, no blocking from polarization. Sam's Club is cheap and reliable with a nearly blanket guarantee for at least a year.

My recent research has been around GHK-Cu, which is very well proven to repair a variety of bodily tissues. ÏAbove, it's sold as a topical skin repair. It's also been well studied for increased healing in open wounds. Injection leads to soft tissue repair in the body. It has an extremely low risk profile and very high benefit profile. Today I'm going down the path of using it nasally, to affect the brain. Mouse testing, there aren’t any great human studies that are peer reviewed yet. GHK-Cu fights cognitive decline https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10680828/ This studies the general relationship between recovering from physical stress and the fact that age-related diseases are associated with the same pathways. Meaning that because it can fix damage to the body when injected, and fix skin topically, can it help the brain by being taken nasally? (Nasal is the most reliable way to cross the blood-brain barrier.) Bottom line; mice were able to navigate mazes and complete tasks faster and better with this peptide, particularly male mice. Empirical testing of the brain tissue shows notable improvements. ***** The neuropathology data supported the cognitive test results. Inflammation is a hallmark pathway of aging and is increasingly present in the brains of C57BL/6 mice [32]. The brains from mice treated with intranasal GHK-Cu showed a decrease in MCP-1, a marker used to indicate inflammation [33]. Interestingly, the decrease in staining intensity was more pronounced in the brains from female mice than male mice, even though the peptide showed a more effective increase in resilience to cognitive decline in males. The lack of significant differences in staining intensity for IBA-1, a marker for microglia, was somewhat surprising. Microglia are resident immune cells in the brain and are generally increased with increasing age as the result of neuronal insults and damage [34]. Brains from male mice but not female mice, treated with intranasal GHK-Cu, only showed a decreased trend for the presence of microglia, suggesting microglia are not a robust target for GHK-Cu at least under the experimental conditions of this study. The third IHC neuropathology antibody marker used in this study showed an increased staining intensity for neurofilament light chain (NFL-1) as an indicator of axonal damage [35]. Clearly, the brains from both male and female mice treated with intranasal GHK-Cu showed decreased staining intensity for NFL-1 suggesting that axonal damage is associated with brain aging that can be attenuated with GHK-Cu treatment. Although the mechanism for this effect was not investigated, it could be speculated that GHK-Cu might be triggering a wound healing effect similar to that occurring in damaged skin [13]. Overall, these neuropathology observations suggest that GHK-Cu acts on molecular markers associated with different pathways in the brain in a sex dependent manner, and that additional drugs could be added as a cocktail to be more effective in enhancing resilience to age-related cognitive decline.

That's awesome. I should note that my test this week is after not having taken any D supplements since November, when I had the 100+, so I'm still living off my own supply.

Under doctor care, I have heard that's done for extreme cases. I agree with you. I wouldn't feel comfortable telling someone to do 50k as it's outside my knowledge. I only know for sure that 20k has been tested. Personally this to me would be medically urgent.
