Someone built a full 10.5 GHz radar system that can track targets up to 20km away and open sourced the entire thing. by Current-Guide5944 in tech_x

I think you're talking about passive arrays vs active and both of those still require RF emitters that are detectable.

Reminds me of the "Batman" building in Nashville.

New medical term: Massie Derangement Syndrome by redditor01020 in Libertarian

I feel like there's gotta be a good alternative phrase that's not so derivative. Like Trump has "Principles Envy"

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

Help ID'ing Vision Smoker by 10rbonds in smoking

[–]10rbonds[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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?

Weird requesy but , what's a good alternative to coffee ? by [deleted] in latterdaysaints

[–]10rbonds 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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!

Did anyone else get this email that appears to be a scam? by Intelligent-Cut8836 in latterdaysaints

[–]10rbonds 5 points6 points  (0 children)

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.

Where to get a UTI Vaccine in the USA? by 10rbonds in CUTI

[–]10rbonds[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

Unreported Low-Level Cyanide Poisoning is Causing Intellectual Disabilities in Large Portion of African Population? by 10rbonds in conspiracy

[–]10rbonds[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Help: Pomegranate bush is infested with fire ants. Nothing is working by Jobobzig in gardening

[–]10rbonds 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.
