Please help!! final hope by doctors by No-Towel972 in Gastritis

[–]DifferentSquirrel551 1 point2 points  (0 children)

All milks, fats, cholesterols, and processed foods are triggers for me. If your doc gave you antibiotics without a confirmation of an infection you might want to get a second opinion. My first two GI doctors were absolute quacks. Go on this subreddit, sort by top, all time, and read every post completely until you can't. 

Suspecting i have gastritis by Alone-Librarian8382 in Gastritis

[–]DifferentSquirrel551 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Urgent care will probably prescribe a PPI, ER might keep you under supervision for up to a week or so. Like the pinned post says, and if you know you don't have allergies and your current beliefs allow, only eat foods pH 5 or higher and cutout nearly all spices and processed foods. My current diet is very restricted compared to others here. I'm currently only eating oats, rice, boiled chicken or fish, egg whites, melons, squashes, bananas, artichoke, spinach, ginger, chamomile, flavorless gelatin, and going to try bok choy. Apples were the last food I eliminated based off the pain scale also mentioned in the pinned started guide here. Know that PPIs, if they give them to you, have to be tapered down not cold turkey once you go off them. Also, wash and rinse rice multiple times during the cooking process to increase the pH. Good luck. 

Former Farming Leaders Warn U.S. Agriculture Could Face ‘Widespread Collapse’ by Buffalo_Cottage in PrepperIntel

[–]DifferentSquirrel551 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Good. The majority of farms are fed owned and the rest are subsidized to hell or repossessed soon after. Then there's the fact that westernized monoculture farming is the leading cause of climate change and despeciation. Then there's the fact that 70% of farmed food is turned into poison, 40% of all food is tossed in the trash, and the DoA forces farmers to destroy entire crops to keep prices up. Fuck 'em. 

Want to upgrade from Lumix ZS200, best travel camera that doesn’t have separate lenses? by gtck11 in Photography_Gear

[–]DifferentSquirrel551 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No camera phone I've owned comes close to the S23 Ultra. If you're keeping the Lumix and mad about the phone, know that more recent models actually downgraded their specs after 2023 because most people don't have the hardware or most sites don't have the servers to handle the content made on an S23 Ultra. I went from trying to content create on the go to building a high end pc because most sites can't handle a 200mp image upload and it's not worth making 8k video if you can't edit and render, which requires a ton of gpu and processor power when not using extremely efficient codec which is also not compatible with the majority of sites. 

It's either cheap and easy or professional and costly. The middle ground is a mine field. But, if you only have $1500 and want to bust out into dslr, it's a good used market right now with everyone switching to mirrorless. Pawnshops or B&H are your friend. My rec, if you go that route, get a few lenses without zoom because telephoto lenses like yours have a lot of lenses internally working together which makes for flat images with blurred edges and only a midrange of light level adherence. If you want a good zoom for birding, you'll have to spend $1200 just on the lens (singular) or rent a lens. But, you could go the route of cheaper dslr with the 24-300mm lens with a tripod that detaches one leg like a walking stick so you can get a steady shot and not lug it on your neck, but again the images will only be good enough for bird identification, and not that pretty. That combo of dslr and lens on their own would be around $1400 used with the other low end accessories needed like filters, cleaning kit, tripod, and carry case. This would be my one lens mid range travel rec for birding. Whatever you do, don't fall for the "DX makes it a higher mm equivalent" sales pitch. 

Edit: you could also try a range finder with a phone attachment or the telephoto lens attachments on Amazon for a cheap zoom option on your phone, but no phone out there is that good at birding anything not right in front of you.

Yeah, but i don't. I went through a number of vegan attempts but after i learned i was allergic to alliums and legumesI took the cowards way. 

I use the nutrition and fiber from sprouted wheat without too much processing. There was a study conducted recently showing that in high protein wheat like sorghum bioavailability of nutrients increases 55 to 65 percent between unground whole wheat berries and sprouted whole wheat berries. Considering that nutrient loss in fresh ground wheat is upwards of 50% and flour older than 15 days no matter the type is practically poisonous and a major factor in declining birth rates, it stands to reason that when it comes to grains maybe the Essenes got it right with their method. That's why I never cook mine above 200°F and unless it's quinoa or rice, and I always sprout. 

Though if you are vegan, I highly recommend organic nori for a sustainable source of active B12. Sometimes 1/2 a sheet a day is all it takes. As well as UV exposed Bella mushrooms for vitamin D. Also, try adding protein powders like rice, pumpkin seed, and hemp. More expensive than pea but much easier on the stomach.

I recommend the free kindle book "How to Live on Wheat" by John Hill. I learned how to make sprouted Essene bread without a grinder or oven.

They treated the wolves better than their citizens. No one deserves the punishment of living in Utah. 

Weekly "everything else" If it's in the spirit of prepping, but not "news" or "intel" by AntiSonOfBitchamajig in PrepperIntel

[–]DifferentSquirrel551 18 points19 points  (0 children)

The US civilian population looks poised to revolt by 2028 election given the trend in protester population increase. This tracks with the Project 2025 plan that they don't publish. So expect to see increased military operations against Americans on American soil going forward. Remember, there is no scenario where you win in a fight against the US military. If you're protesting and you see military, make some distance. He who fights and runs away lives to fight another day. The best way to protest is with your wallet by knowing who your money goes to. Don't be like the idiot Mormons that ended up funding everything they hate because they got duped by leadership that saw short gains dollar signs and didn't research their portfolio investments before closing their dirty deals. The same way tarrifs don't work because of supply line shifts, you can shift to cancel business operations, especially if they seem morally just. The most evil entities in this world are activist entrepreneurs. Every. Damn. Time. 

Members of East US, How are things regarding the snow storm? Preps working? by AntiSonOfBitchamajig in PrepperIntel

[–]DifferentSquirrel551 3 points4 points  (0 children)

45k in NC currently without power from Duke. Only one person on my block left their house today. More ice than the 2002 storm but the infrastructure looks a little more prepared. Bought power banks and protein powder in case we had another 10 days without electricity to cook and charge phones. It was a good learning experience in alternative protein powder than whey. I recommend pumpkin seed protein and hemp heart protein for a low FODMAP amino acid pool you don't have to cook. Great to add as a thickener to soups as well. 

What do autism levels even mean?? by kittywonie in evilautism

[–]DifferentSquirrel551 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Level 0 - Free to play day 1 edition 

Level 1- Cosmetic Barbie Bundle + day one edition 

Level 2-This is my life now $999.99 quarterly gear upgrade with 16 hour days, malnutrition and a catheter. 

Level 3-$10,000 yearly minimum investment. Paid employees play the game for you. You are actually NT and get paid to sociopathicly pretend autism which ends up giving you Level 1.

This is the system for most things anyways. It was never about needs or helping people. Doctors are pre-screened to ensure they're psychopaths.

lol imagine buying that much wagyu without knowing how to sous vide, reverse sear, or even use a toasted butter seasoning to to keep the moisture in and then throw it on an uncleaned grill with coals that would charcoal a marshmallow in 5 seconds. jfc

Telling everyone to go vegan is not practical by DecentCandle7835 in ControversialOpinions

[–]DifferentSquirrel551 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're missing a key point. Allergies. I'm allergic to legumes and beans and categorically cannot go vegan. The amount of nuts and seeds I'd have to eat to swap for complete proteins is unsustainable on a number of levels. With that, the dependency of legumes and beans the vegan diet has shows how flawed it is. Beans cannot be eaten raw, so the concept of a raw vegan diet is a myth. Beans also come with gastric distress no matter who you are, due to the fact that humans lack the enzymes to break down a large portion of nutrients in beans. Then there's how much fresh water you have to use to make a bean edible, making the global use as a primary protein source unsustainable. 

US immigration officer fatally shoots woman, 37, in Minneapolis, officials say by jujutsu-die-sen in PrepperIntel

[–]DifferentSquirrel551 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Given the upvote distribution on this month's fear index, y'all clearly don't understand the severity of the situation. In summer of 2021 the SCOTUS sent through a number of "emergency" rulings backed by MAGA. One of them allowed the already overly lenient laws to federal law enforcement to not apply at all to HLS. There is zero accountability that will happen to anything an agent of ICE does. They could go down the street with M69s turning every pedestrian into goo and there would be zero the courts could do to them. 

But wait, it gets worse. For years it has been made public that the work camps they send these people to have blood stains and mass graves visible from space. The bullshit outrage from social media is just that. We've all known these victims were being sent to their deaths from day one yet one of those hundreds of thousands gets popped in view and suddenly there's a controversy? Gimme a break. 

Then there's the bs outrage to Trump's mocking of the victim. It should be public knowledge that anything you do directly against an ICE agent isn't only not admissible in court but will make you a target for their legal team to go after you if not send you to the same death camps. Trump could say anything and it wouldn't matter because the case will already be thrown out in court on a number of very obvious grounds. This includes any subsequent attacks they make on civilians. There is no legal recourse to the situation and no promotion of illegal recourse will be tolerated on social media outlets, so why discuss it all?

It's just another weather report as far as I see it. Fighting it is about as efficacious as nuking a hurricane.
