I thought it would be about electric motorcycles.

Unintentional double meaning?

There are a number of health implications from fast eating, so it's a great topic. I just don't really know great solutions, other than to always think about it and be conscious. So I welcome Dave's reminder. Maybe we just remind each other every couple days.

While this is about processed foods and obesity, I've also seen the exact same as it relates to cholesterol. Highly processed foods are terrible. https://nutritionfacts.org/blog/processed-foods-and-obesity/?utm_source=NutritionFacts.org&utm_campaign=7811fa8613-RSS_BLOG_DAILY&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_40f9e497d1-7811fa8613-28710906&mc_cid=7811fa8613

National Electrical Code --- Electricians are Special People

So as you know, ground and neutral should be bonded in only one place. I believe (have been told) that the trailer has a bonded neutral-ground in its panel (not 100% sure). If I have my little bonding plug, that's two of them, and that should never be done. I guess I need to test it. And if it's not bonded, then I probably should put a real bond on the generator (more than that #22 jumper)? Wouldn't the trailer floating be a danger itself? -
Another modern life-changer if it can be made at a reasonable cost. ErythroMer is an experimental blood substitute developed by researchers at the University of Maryland School of Medicine. It is made from recycled human hemoglobin wrapped in a membrane to mimic a tiny cell. ErythroMer comes as a freeze-dried powder that remains usable for years. It can be reconstituted by simply mixing it with saline. ErythroMer should be safe for any blood type as its membrane doesn't include the red blood cell surface proteins that cause mismatches. It is still in preclinical testing, but it is possible that ErythroMer could be more durable and versatile than real blood. https://www.science.org/content/article/ultimate-blood-substitute-us-military-betting-46-million

The problem from that time still makes him (and me) behave a certain way. I believe that TODAY it's likely that Dave owns his time, as I do. But when you're busting ass for minimum wage you do what the man tells you. An additional problem for me was that when I was a cocktail waiter I burned insane calories, and fed them constantly, in high volumes, with short time. Then I got a desk career...and blimped.

For most of us, the nausea is related to not eating. Seriously, thousands of people, maybe tens of thousands, you're like .01%. This is why I caution people to stick with the Eli Lilly schedule of only moving up if you absolutely must. My friend made the mistake of moving up to ten on a schedule instead of waiting for the lower dose to lose effect, is paying dearly for it now.
-
You know you're a 1% of 1% right? I've talked to thousands of people about GLP-1s now, and yours is the lowest report ever. Maybe Eli Lilly put you on a placebo, LOL.

A corollary or connected challenge is that I've worked hard for years to remove food from the entertainment category and turn it into only fuel (except an occasional special meal). This then leads to the "just get it over with" attitude. Tirzepatide has forcibly slowed me down, because of the delayed gastric emptying. Or, I pay for it if I don't. Aren't you finding limits to quantity and speed, especially on max dose?
-
I would like to move it, because it's a good discussion and things get buried here. It deserves more attention. I've been trained to eat everything, all at once, through a variety of life situations. Literal three minute 2k calorie meals with a one and done opportunity. I'm also working on it. Easier if I'm doing something, say eating and watching TV. Just eating? Gone immediately. In fact I actually find myself annoyed at the work of eating and want it done.

National Electrical Code --- Electricians are Special People
SwampNut replied to rockmeupto125's topic in Handyman
EVSEs will not work without a ground, they test it before startup. Nearly all generators have floating grounds for safety. I have a shitty EMS in there and a nicer one to go in soon. But that isn't related to this. Also to charge the EVs from the TT-30 plug I need an adapter that takes one of the hots from the 14-50 to the neutral on the TT-30. Otherwise the 5-20R can only charge at 12 amps (80% constant load of 5-15 because the male plug on the EVSE is a 15 not 20). To add to all the fun, it's potentially (heh) dangerous to run the bonding plug and plug in the trailer, because now you've violated the "only one bonding location" rule. But there really is nowhere in the trailer to kill yourself on a broken neutral. So yeah...this is all very "special." -

I was sitting there with Marty solving the problem of running the EV cord from a generator, and speaking all my plans and test results out loud. At some point I told him why and of course he told me he absolutely knew why. There was no GFCI involved so I let him help. Also, we NEED do what he does best. That's a hint on the plug. -

We use this term differently. I'd always heard it to refer to the non-contact devices that make noise. But I realize both are correct. Anyway, to prevent false negatives I always rub it on my shirt and get a positive first. I used to do the same with every meter test, though now, I just use my version of the wiggy. Guess what I made? -
Cal was the first to to use it.

I thought to add--avoid statins or at least until you deeply research it. They seem to have extremely low benefit. I think we had a discussion here before.

That was debunked. It was either fake or just poorly done research, don't recall which. There's a thread about it here somewhere. I'm 50/50 on going conspiracy nut and calling it just another factory farming hit piece. And the gym bro retards spread it fast and wide. Three things about tofu... Pressing, par-boil, and get it crispy. Pressing can be done with a tofu press or just a weight and towels, or grate, or whatever. Google "how to press tofu" and pick on. A heavy plate on cheesecloth, etc. There is a brand, Hodo, that makes it pre-pressed and really easy. But it's only available at Super Target and a couple of the whole food type stores like some Sprouts but not all. For some people, not all people, tofu has a mild but offensive little funk flavor. You can get rid of that by getting water boiling hard, drop the cut tofu cubes in (not whole), and remove it in about one minute. When you go to spice it, consider using a light spray of oil to coat it. That will hold spices and make it crisp. Cook the fuck out of it at 480 in an air fryer, or use a very hot pan.

Absolutely. Beans, whole grains, nuts but almonds in particularly. Believe it or not, fatty fish, although there is controversy over the sources of salmon and steelies. And...soy is the most prominent and easy food to remove cholesterol. I can't recall if you're one of the people I've talked to who hates tofu. If so, I have a trick for you to try.

We have a massive industry dedicated to proving that meat, eggs, and dairy are 100% good for you, and totally safe to eat all you want. Texas A&M has a larger budget for pro-meat/dairy PR than many universities do for their entire research department. The only data you can get that ever questions factory farming has to come from sources that are not profiting from the many billions in that industry. It's even codified that you can't have nutritional guidelines specifically saying "less meat and dairy" but they will accept "reduced saturated fat." Which means...guess what.... Did I post about the huge butter/margarine conspiracy that was totally government supported and actually ran until recently? Insane, but fully documented.

I've seen credible evidence that daily egg consumption is linked to this, and a number of other health issues. Common advice is two eggs a week, and I limit myself to less than four. What the chickens eat matters too, and factory farmed eggs are proven to have more of the bad parts of proteins and acids. I've switched to only responsibly grown small farm eggs. Blurb from NIH study: In both types of egg yolks, the monounsaturated FA, oleic acid (18:1n-9) was the most abundant in free-range eggs, 45.6% vs. 40.8% in conventionally-farmed eggs (P = 0.01). The saturated FA, palmitic acid (16:0) was second in relative abundance, with 24.3% registered for free-range eggs whereas the concentration was significantly higher (P = 0.04) in conventionally-farmed eggs (26.7%). Significant differences (P = 0.005) were also observed in the amounts of the polyunsaturated FA, linoleic acid (18:2n-6) in the free-range eggs, 17.6% vs. the 10.9% registered in conventionally-farmed eggs. The latter (10.9%) was also more similar to the value reported (11.1%) in the CNF.

It is absolutely insane, however there are a number of no-salt and low salt options out there. Of course, DIY is the way to go, it takes a while to simmer but is not a lot of work to make. I freeze some in two person portions. Another option is to make pesto sauce without the oil and salt. Pine nuts, basil, garlic, lemon juice, water, potassium chloride.

I guess it’s fully mainstream if you can buy it at Target? This is new, and part of their partnership with Ulta. But never expected copper peptides to be THIS mainstream. This is properly known as GHK-Cu. I have a shitload of it coming for a fraction of the price. I know two people who have/had businesses making skin products. We can do it better than Target/Ulta.

I need to start eating breakfast, but I really hate it
SwampNut replied to SwampNut's topic in Diet & health exchange
These are tasty, with good quick energy with no junk, crack an egg or two over it and done in five. Sticks with you for hours and no blood sugar spike. So it inspired me to buy a bunch of the silicon freezer bags, and make a huge batch of a pepper-onion-potato hash to portion out and store. Instant real food. -
We got this for a special project. It was used for a week or two and put away, I forgot to list it for sale. It's been wiped, and it was probably upgraded to Windows Pro. Perfect condition, original box. How about $600 shipped? https://www.amazon.com/Microsoft-Lightweight-Processor-Multi-Tasking-Platinum/dp/B0B8QDBFVQ?th=1 https://www.adorama.com/miqzi00001.html https://www.bestbuy.com/site/sku/6517655.p?skuId=6517655

Working on 60, and have one of those, don't understand one at all, and think I might have a third maybe. I can hold a beer, a whisky, and a cigar and consume all of them at the pool without getting them wet however. And I can take a shit without injuring myself by tripping on my underwear.
