Double thanks

I rather suspect that there isn't a single answer, and that it depends on the type of plastic and the fragment size. Melamine for instance is harmful if it's ground up to a powder, but not directly because it's toxic by itself but rather that it becomes toxic and causes kidney damage when it reacts with cyanuric acid inside the body.

This seems like our backup Armageddon. If the effects of climate change don't wipe us out, the survivors get to die slowly of petroleum poisoning.
I hope those disposable forks were worth it.

I was surprised he didn't mention all the plastics we eat intentionally, like any toothpaste with sparkles for instance....that's just bits of plastic we are fed on purpose.

Vegan Diet or Mediterranean Diet: Which Is Healthier?

Mordhaus says...

Eating fish and poultry at least twice a week is conspicuously left off the Mediterranean Diet list here.

Fatty fish — such as mackerel, lake trout, herring, sardines, albacore tuna and salmon — are rich sources of omega-3 fatty acids. Fish is eaten on a regular basis in the Mediterranean diet.

Seems from everything I see, seafood seems to be pretty predominant in Japanese diet intake, the other diet he mentioned in comparison.

So, I figured, let me look up some info on the Dr. presenting here. Neal Barnard is a well known Vegan and founding president of the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine.

Intriguing, no? Then I looked up the PCRM he is the founding president of (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Physicians_Committee_for_Responsible_Medicine). OMG, they just happen to be a non-profit research and advocacy organization based in Washington, D.C., which promotes a vegan diet, preventive medicine, and alternatives to animal research, and encourages what it describes as "higher standards of ethics and effectiveness in research." Its tax filing shows its activities as "prevention of cruelty to animals."

So it is a combination of a Vegan diet promotional group AND PETA. It also seems that they don't mind omitting parts of 'competing' diets to promote their own. Basically this is the equivalent of a organization like Atkins having a doctor like Iris Shai, RD, PhD, show that a low-carbohydrate diet like Atkins had a more favorable effect on blood lipid levels than both the Mediterranean diet or a low–fat diet.

Obviously she must be right, she is a doctor and other doctors support her. So this must mean all the other doctors and diets are wrong, including this one, right?

I'm calling this *propaganda, sorry.

Monster Trucks......On Acid

It seemed to me that the acid actually kept him from enjoying it. Maybe he shouldn't have double dosed on liquid.

If you have to be on acid to enjoy a monster truck show, you have more problems than you know.

McCain defending Obama 2008

newtboy says...

Bob....after your own answer to that question, an answer you changed to sarcastic only after being repeatedly lambasted for it's ridiculousness and idiocy, no one is under any obligation to defend their sources.
If their news source is the voices in their head while on a overdosed acid trip, they are still better sources than those you believe, who are all proven liars and propagandists, excused because not one is an actual news source. They are all biased opinion sources at best and in at least one case they are nothing less than the mouth of madness.

DOLKEN SPISER SURSTRØMNING!!!!

TRRazor says...

It's called Surströmming and it's essentially fresh hering put in strong brine, which causes the fish to ferment over the duration of 5-6 months.

During this process it produces acids, sulfits and carbon dioxide which all contribute to an obviously disgusting smell.

Usually it is only eaten outside and the can is opened far away from the dining table.

Bill Maher - Sen. Bernie Sanders

newtboy says...

If you don't vote, you abdicate your right to complain about the results.
It's usually between a douche and a turd, that's no excuse to not vote, especially when it's clear the douche is full of acidic hepatitis.

BSR said:

One way or the other, we ARE living in a much different world.

I haven't registered to vote since I was 18. If Bernie decided to run again I'd register just to vote for him.

Brake Cleaner Fluid Vs Monster Energy Drink

moonsammy says...

Mountain Dew would be the best choice of the three - it's the citric acid in Monster that is doing the job here, and neither Coke or Dr Pepper would have that (while Dew has orange as an ingredient). I would think something like 7-Up or Sprite would also be fine, though I'm not sure how much citrus those actually contain. Lemonade?

AeroMechanical said:

So, like, does Doctor Pepper or Coke work too? I don't care for Monster, but I can drink the rest of the Doctor Pepper. Mountain Dew if I have to.

Brake Cleaner Fluid Vs Monster Energy Drink

moonsammy says...

Had doubts about the veracity of this due to the can being open already at the beginning, but per Snopes it's plausible. Basically brake cleaner is an organic solvent while Monster has a high level of acidity - they can both clean things, but would be useful on completely different types of grime.

Man exacts revenge on package thieves with a loud trap

SFOGuy says...

You would end up dying your front steps lol.

However.

More interesting to have a triggered spray of Butyric Acid triggered at his boulders at the edge of the lawn by an electric eye AFTER the box trap is triggered.

I wonder if it would be legal to use dye packs like banks use. That way you could mark the offenders and everyone would know they were up to no good.
