DoktorLoken posted:For me it's about the fact that livestock and beef in particular are horrible for the environment. If you haven't tried an Impossible Burger/Beyond Burger (or their sausages) they really are quite good. Good enough that I bet more often than not you could serve one to someone and they wouldn't know it's not beef. I'm really looking forward to the Impossible Burger Whopper if it ever gets rolled out nationwide; get a burger, feel a lot less guilty about the environmental aspects of eating it.

This has been repeatedly proven over several decades to be also really bad. Arguably worse. Which is why I think you might've been sarcastic? Different sweeteners pose different health challenges, but one that they share is that your body tastes SWEET so it thinks SUGAR then there's no actual sugar/not as many calories as expected, so you start craving and overeating. I've been drastically cutting down on my soda intake, because I'm definitely a loving goon on that one.

There's nothing remotely proven about artificial sweeteners causing significant health issues. You might as well tell me that the Yellow #5 in Mountain Dew makes your dick shrink. I know that studies show some people respond to diet drinks by overeating but if you're actually watching your food intake that seems pretty avoidable.

Chai, Black and Earl Grey are good if you like to add milk or almond milk, a sweetner to it and still want some caffeine. Green is good to sip on its own but still has a little caffeine Herbal tea is really dependant, but my GF likes licorish tea because she likes licorish candy. I went from drinking almost 4-8 cups of coffee daily to only having 1 and sipping tea through the day.

cup of coffee and glass of oj in the morning, water the rest of the day. Only drink soda when there's nothing else (like unsweet iced tea) available and I need the caffeine/sugar. Once a month or so. Need to up my activity besides a weekly hash run. Like, a lot.

Same. I'm down to diet sodas only and I'm limiting my intake. I cut out caffeine almost entirely unless I have a major headache or asthma attacks. I'm drinking way more water than I used to and since I've done these things, my poop is usually a lot more consistent and less painful or surprising.

Picked up an old canon 24-105 OIS F4 gen 1 for my film slr. It’s pretty loving fantastic. Having optical image stabilization on film is very cool. Can’t wait to use it out in Wyoming next week.

Don’t drink diet soda. Aspartame is loving awful for you. If any of you get restless leg syndrome and have no idea why, it’s from aspartame. Which is in a lot of poo poo you have no idea until you read the label. Since I did my own research and figured out that’s what was causing my RLS, when someone mentions that they have RLS I tell them to stop drinking diet soda and stop chewing gum (those are the two major sources for people) and their RLS goes away. Who knows what else the gently caress it’s doing to people.

Nothing quite like being down by 2 in the last 2 minutes only to tie it up and win in double overtime. I also got to meet Landon Donovan last night briefly, incredibly nice guy. My "thing" is to thank USMNT players for their service by prefacing mine. The players I've spoken to really appreciate the sentiment. I never ask or really say anything else.      album: https://imgur.com/a/LuohVZl

Replacing one thing you've been having too much of with something else is never good, and I'm guessing the aspartame will eventually kill you too, but the amount of sugar in soda will kill you loving dead right quick.

I drink a few cans a day sometimes. If I could find selzter water with decent flavoring I would switch. Not "rode next to some apples on the way over" flavor.

Cheap flavored seltzer water in giant bottles existed in grocery stores long before the trendy junk. It can be a little too strong, though. https://www.walmart.com/ip/Clear-American-Cherry-Limeade-Sparkling-Water-33-8-Fl-Oz/24034028

Seriously, just get a soda stream (or whatever brand carbonator) and make your own at home. It's loving great and will save you a ton of money and effort schlepping cases of water around.

My dad decided to tell me today that he's getting surgery for prostate cancer at the end of the month. Also that he's known about it for a year and they were keeping an eye on it, so that's a good sign I hope. For gently caress's sake though, I wish my parents would communicate a little better when they get serious illnesses. My mom had a minor heart attack a few years ago and didn't feel a need to tell me. Ended up hearing about it from my dad first, even though they divorced 15 years ago.

Found out today that my uncle probably has Parkinson's in addition to his alcoholism that started either in his teens or after getting back from Vietnam; either way he's likely on his way out in the next few months. Another uncle was just hospitalized with pneumonia, but the other one (twin of the first) has had his heart problems settle down so at least that's good. I haven't been back to visit since their dad died in the mid 90s, so it's probably a good time.

Shoot it's one of the 5 cancers (prostate, lung, thyroid, and two types of skin cancer) my old man has had and he's still kicking around. IIRC they only treated it via surgery because of his history with other cancers. Still sucks being kept out of the loop though.

Yeah, he told me they figured it might be a problem 10-15 years down the road, but it ended up progressing quicker than expected. At least he'll be around a while longer, and yay for modern medicine. I guess that time he called and wanted to talk about what happens to his stuff when he's gone makes more sense now. Even a favorable diagnosis would make most of us think about mortality a bit.

The current treatment methods are pretty cool too, they insert a bunch of radioactive seeds of Iodine-125 around the cancer, and the low amount of gamma particles released are just strong enough to affect the cancer and their immediate surrounding, and nothing more, and they have a half life of ~60 days.

That exact thing happened to me once and it was also Charter. I'm moving to another building in my neighborhood and I don't think it's wired for AT&T fiber like my current unit, it's going to suck going from 1000/1000 fiber to whatever trash Charter is offering for almost the same price.
