Aren't there also a bunch of angry armed people hiding out in that area? I seem to recall that crossing it is pretty damned dangerous.

Why do vitamin supplements give you multiple hundred or even thousands of times the daily value of the vitamin per serving, instead of just 100%?

More good make ape more better No really that’s all it is. There’s a lot of pseudoscience about high doses of vitamins being extra good for you (though I will note that there are arguments with slight evidence that the recommendation for certain ones like vitamin D are too low for obese people in particular) Methanar posted:what 100% is varies by person. some vitamins are easily stored in fat for later use, you can bank vitamins. You can bank some vitamins but most excess is excreted.

There are two types of vitamins, water-soluble and fat-soluble. It's almost impossible to overdose on water-soluble vitamins because the excess just passes out in your urine. Fat-soluble vitamins you actually can overdose on and make yourself sick if you take way too much of them, but the amount you'd have to take is still very very high. Vitamins cost basically nothing to synthesize, so there's no need not to put really high doses in the supplements. Anyways uhh the only vitamin you should be taking is Vitamin D, everything else is almost certainly very well present in your diet, assuming you live in North America like most of the people on this site (unless you're a vegan or have an eating disorder or something).

If you have any nerve issues or nerve pain, or if you just drink a lot, you should also add B12. Especially if vegan.

Yeah my doctor told me to start taking B12 which is what prompted this question, I got a B vitamin complex and one of the other B vitamins on there is like 1300% of the DV per pill

You should also consider taking iron supplements if you donate blood, especially if you do a double red blood cell donation. There are lots of solid medical reasons to take supplements, even if you have a normal and healthy diet!

Oh usually when I type that sentence I add something like "or if you have a deficiency or your doctor says to", I just forgot it this time. Iron's not technically a vitamin but I've got friends who take it for menstruation troubles and it seems to help.

And B12 is water-soluble so you just piss any excess.

Stupid and small question from a dum-dum who never uses music streaming services: does Pandora, like, cache your playlists or something? I ask because the job I just started discovered the hard way, first thing this morning, that our credit card processing wasn't working. When trying to figure out if it was on their end, or our internet, I piped up with "well Pandora's still playing, so I think we have internet?" Everyone nodded sagely and praised me for my keen deduction... ...until then I tried to go to Google, and nnnnnope, no internet. No email, no Google, and I got to hand write down CC #s and info all day. You can't even dust off the ol' knuckle-buster because cards don't have raised characters anymore. :/ So how was Pandora still bustin' out the David Bowie channel? (And if it is cached, thank St. Ziggy that that's what I got to listen to all day)

Thanks y'all! That makes sense, I just didn't know how that all worked. As I said, I was all  " well Pandora's working, so it's not our internet" and, uhhh, no. Not so much. Now I know.This poo poo is neither my monkey nor my my circus, but I like to try to help out, and now I know that Pandora still running has jack + poo poo to do with if our internet is down. Also: gently caress you Verizon, for doing "scheduled maintenance" at 11 AM. Cause, y'know, no one operates a retail business at 11 am on a Sunday.

Having the charger port of my phone get clogged up, forcing me to rely on wireless charging pads which 1. Didn't let me use my phone as it charged 2. Took a lot more time and 3. Were inconsistent and often shut down due to heat issues. It made me a lot less reliant on my phone, and much more judicious with its use because I might not be able to charge it for a couple of days. That's what helped me, though if your primary internet source is something other than your phone it may not help too much.

Is Google One a scam? I’m apparently out of storage and I tried to free up as much space as possible by deleting things but it’s still telling me I’m out of storage. I do take a ton of pictures but more than half of my storage is occupied with Google drive even though I have no idea what it’s so huge.

You have to actually empty your trash before Google will free it up for you. That one caught me out for a long time.

Why is title insurance still a thing in the US? It seems like especially nowadays in most places (especially most places where people are regularly buying homes) it would be pretty easy to determine who currently owns a piece of property, log that in an official government database, just have people reference that database to determine who has title, and require people to update it. It seems like this mostly already happens but we still have to have title insurance anyway.

It seems like this mostly already happens but we still have to have title insurance anyway. The problem is that it's not that simple, and plain ownership isn't the whole story. There are a bunch of possible legal traps that could have befallen the title, and it can be real hard to dig through all of the many databases (digitized and not) to make sure there's not something -- obscure claim, unpaid taxes, etc -- that could screw stuff up. Plus, you're also covering for more physical things like bad surveys, etc https://www.investopedia.com/terms/t/title_insurance.asp

Like most every kind of insurance you really don't need it until you really really need it. If everything worked as perfectly as you described, then we probably wouldn't need it but everything doesn't work that perfectly yet.

How come the popular animal to dissect in biology classes is the frog? I was wondering why it's not something that we eat, eg chickens. It seems a bit wasteful to kill and dissect something and then just chuck it out afterwards.

Hyperlynx posted:How come the popular animal to dissect in biology classes is the frog? American Bullfrogs are an invasive species where I live, it's a good civic action to kill as many of them as you can and bring them back for dissection, fetal pigs are also really common, we did both in high school. Additionally you're not usually dissecting fresh animals at a high school level, you're more often dissecting things that have been preserved in formaldehyde. Additionally, it's not exactly sanitary to be eating animals that high schoolers have been digging around in, that would be a really terrible idea.

All the important things are right there when you make the first cuts, too. Chickens would be way more difficult. Bigger, harder to manage, messier. Deeper ribcage you'd have to spread to look at the organ structures. Just way more difficult for a completely untrained student. Also, you would not want to eat an animal that a high school class had dissected. Ugh. It would be terribly unsanitary.
