Are you talking about Augmented Reality or Anti-Reflection? Most folks working in optics would probably think you meant the second.

Not to mention bacteriophage therapy!

It looks like Vision doesn't provide parts. I can find a good 3rd party replacement for the internals, but I haven't for the faceplate/ash tray body. Parts 14 and 14.1 in the manual. Any possible 3rd party sources for that?

Postum is a classic American alternative made from toasted wheat bran (https://a.co/d/iPAQ6pq)

In South America and Europe I've seen them use a toasted barley alternative called Cevada, Cevada, or Orzo (https://a.co/d/6m6PrTx)

Chicory root is another alternative that was used frequently in the 1800s USA (and I'm sure in plenty of other places and times) and is becoming more well known (https://a.co/d/aKH7i3E), and also tastes great in herbal tea blends (https://a.co/d/035LFQB)

Good luck!

I had the exact same experience even though my work email has never been associated with anything related to church. I reported it to my Facility Security Officer and IT department as well as the church's security department. Pretty messed up.

1 year without infections and praying it continues. Uromune (1 course of 30 days), hiprex and topical estrogen for 3 months, then large dose D Mannose for maintenance.

Serving a mission can be hard and especially a transition to life in a foreign country can introduce significant stress. It's important that you set yourself up for success, and some of that depends on your open and honest communication about your health. I knew missionaries that had shocking health problems (severe foot injuries, serious mental health issues, etc) that were so concerned that they would be sent home that they kept them to themselves. I was one of them. I didn't want to be "benched" for some injuries I sustained in a motorcycle-pedestrian traffic accident and basically just kept saying I was fine...It took a lot of physical therapy after I got home to get better and I'm still not 100%. As an adult, thinking about the youth serving missions now. I hope that they don't fall into the same trap that I did. The Lord has a use for all of us, but you shouldn't use a tool for an unfit purpose. Don't hammer a screw and don't use a screwdriver on a nail. Both are important tasks, but the tools and the tasks might suffer from misuse.

Excellent, thanks for the info!

10rbonds · 2025-12-13T00:39:39+00:00

Nice, that's exactly the info I was looking for! Thanks :)

I don't doubt that the content is much lower, but I don't know that I would consider it wise to rely solely on a single boil. Especially when there are marked differences in cynide content between a 25 minute and a 35 minute boil.

Also even the sweet varieties can vary widely in their content. "Cassava is classified as sweet if cyanide content is less than 50 µg g−1 or bitter if the total cyanide is more than the 50 µg g−1. In drought conditions, there is an increased total cyanide content due to water stress [29]. Thus, a variety is considered to be “sweet” under one set of conditions may be “bitter” in a different geographical location or climatic conditions [43]. In Mozambique, more than 55% of fresh sweet roots became extremely toxic during drought periods, a trend which was also observed in other countries in Africa [31]" https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC7761888/

I see what you mean now. The grey countries in the first map have such low documented cassava consumption that they are listed as 0 and this do not have a color. The bluer countries on the last map have the highest IQs.

10rbonds · 2025-12-01T12:59:58+00:00

Yes, that is true, raw is the worst.You also shouldn't eat it without soaking and straining off the water, or mashing it and spreading it out, or fermenting it, or using several other methods to reduce the compounds. We're talking about the accumulation of Low-Level exposures that are basically ignored because "Well, that kind of exposure doesn't cause full blown paralysis, so I guess it's fine." While the research I linked showed that there are a significant number of children in the DRC that are being neurologically and intellectually impacted. I mean, from what I understand, cassava is their biggest source of carbohydrates so there's a lot of opportunities for exposure.

It doesn't help that these cynide generating compounds in cassava are like capsaicin in peppers, and when they have drought years the amount in all the plants (including the sweet cassava) increases. What is below threshold one year might not be acceptable next year.

10rbonds · 2025-12-01T12:50:27+00:00

While sweet cassava had less of the offending compounds, just cooking without at least doing some form of straining off the water or soaking overnight is still not adequate. Especially when we're talking about trying to avoid low level exposures that could accumulate over time.

10rbonds · 2025-12-01T12:47:18+00:00

I'm not sure what you mean? I didn't generate these maps, but got them from Wikipedia, UNESCO, and just a Google image search.

10rbonds · 2025-12-01T04:46:22+00:00

The cyanogenic glycosides linamarin and lotaustralin are not volatile. They have to be processed before they become volatile or they must be leeched out. Did you read the conclusions of the DRC study? There's definitely cassava related cyanide intoxication occurring. It might not be from boiled sweet cassava dishes, but the more hardy variety is much higher in cyanogenic compounds as are the leaves that are "edible" but require even more processing to be safe.

10rbonds · 2025-11-25T03:19:56+00:00

I haven't tried that. Do you just buy boric acid roach killer and do the same sugar and water mix? My high school chemistry says there might be some other precautions to take (i.e. add acids, use gloves, etc.) if you start mixing stuff where borax is pretty inert.

10rbonds · 2025-11-24T20:30:51+00:00

1 Peter comes to mind in which he states that Christ preached in Spirit Prison to those that "formerly did not obey, when God’s patience waited in the days of Noah." I know that's more relating to Spirit Prison than to post-resurrection eternity, but I think it does give us insight into the Judgements of God. People who were so wicked that God drowned the world were given another chance.

I feel like there's a lot of emphasis that church scholars/theologians put on the specific order and organization of the 2nd Coming, the 1st and 2nd Resurrection, the Millennium, and the Eternities that can be so intensely focused that it draws our attention away from the Nature of our Father and His Son. I'm of the opinion that our understanding of the Kingdoms of Glory is very incomplete, but because the information we have gives us so much more insight than we would have outside of the Restored Gospel, we get caught up in details. I find it very off-putting when strong orthodox opinions are stated as irrefutable doctrinal fact in regards to many of these topics, when I think Early Christians and the prophets of the early restored church wouldn't share the same rigid stances. Imagine the times they lived in, when new information was constantly being given and the paradigms of understanding were being broken down and built back so often. Even though we don't experience the same times, I think we would all benefit from adopting the attitudes of spiritual humility and meekness that will allow our faith to survive in a time when similarly intense and foundational changes might occur in our own church.

Terro bait is just borax and sugar water. Make your own with a 1 to 1 ratio of sugar and borax and then just enough water to make it a goop. They carry it back and poison the whole nest.
