  • Too bad spectators like you are only here to downvote in disagreement, not giving any input.

    A downvote is an input to the conversation, that’s the point of the downvote. Not everyone wants to write an essay or argue with someone. Also what’s the point of reiterating someone’s else point, that’s what the upvote is for.

    You try to boost your score, everyone can see it, almost no one else do that. Have you tried not upvoting yourself?

    Was my last comment boosted? You replied within ~10mins. But you’re not wrong upvoting your own comment is a reddit hangover of having your own post automatically self upvoted. I still think it’s a sane default. It’s not about boosting my comments for visibility and rep points. Why would I upvote the only comment on a comment chain for visibility? If I was concerned about rep points, I would be commenting and posting more.

    You almost always post/coment with an antagonistic approach. You’re also so abrasive with how you communicate that it almost asks people “verbally” spar with you. I’m not just talking about this thread.

    I think, I understand that you see all of this just as a conversation. I also respect that you don’t downvote other people’s comment that you disagree with. But dam everytime I see you, you’re almost asking anyone to argue with you.






  • The 2nd article goes into more details

    “Ultra-processing degrades the internal structure or “food matrix,” the complex internal structure that not only holds the corn together, but influences the bio-availability of the nutrients, how our bodies use the food and whether we feel full after eating it.”

    “But the process also appears to accelerate the speed at which our digestive tracts absorb glucose and other nutrients from food, causing greater spikes in blood sugar and insulin levels, studies show.”

    ““Extrusion cooking at very drastic pressures and temperatures is a kind of predigestion of your food,” said Anthony Fardet, a nutrition scientist at the French National Institute for Agriculture, Food, and Environment who studies the effects of food processing on health.”

    I also agree that a study of 20 adults is absurd.






  • I did a great pebkac. I got a new fridge so I used my IR heat gun to test temps. It was high, way to high. Got service guy out under warranty. I showed him the issue. Deadpanned he takes the IR heat gun out of my hands, moves it closer to the fridge and says “you’re too far away. It’s pickup up the air temp from outside the fridge.”. Sure enough it read perfect temps when it was closer.

    Thankfully the door alarm speaker was faulty so it wasn’t a completely wasted trip.
