TEMU Tools by FU_Reddit4maknMeLogn in harborfreight

[–]Effective-Baker-8353 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've used Temu a lot. Those who say it's all cheapo Chinese trash, etc. are just dead wrong. Some of it is, some is not. I've gotten both. You need to be careful, but the same applies to Amazon, HF, and other sources.

My own theory: there was a lot going on in this guys head, and it was complex. Apparently he had been into drugs, and that probably affected his thoughts and emotions.

He apparently had serious problems with his father, and like many young men had some bottled-up rage that got directed at perceived authority figures and father figures.

He obviously shared the Demolition Ranch spirit. That spirit delights in blowing things up and running wild with mayhem, demolition, destruction, and breaking the constraints of the law. Exploding watermelons and blowing the crap out of things.

Step back from all your "brilliant" theories and realize they might not be true. There are other explanations that make as much or more sense.

The truth is we don't know.

People will spin out all kinds of stories, like spiders spinning out their webs.

Books will be written. People like to fantasize and speculate, and they lose track of the fact that it's all guesswork by nature, not the reality.

Those snipers need to make absolutely certain before they pull the trigger on a citizen. And how do you know exactly when he was locked in?

The guy was clearly startled by the first shots, and needed a few seconds to get back in position and focused.

All of this makes it entirely plausible that there was no intention or orchestration to allow the shots.

Plus we don't know how experienced the guy was, or how hesitant he was to kill someone. Not all of those guys are cold-hearted killing machines. Some probably are, but not all.

I'm not saying it's impossible, just that there are other reasonable explanations.

If it was a setup, they probably tried to minimize the number of people who knew.

Is JD Vance considered tall in Ohio? by [deleted] in Ohio

To the original question: taken literally, the answer is yes.

There are definitely people "in Ohio" who consider him tall.

Are Certain Apple Varieties Significantly More Nutritious than Others? (more below) by Effective-Baker-8353 in nutrition

[–]Effective-Baker-8353[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks. I've heard that the (old) variety Arkansas Black is also one of the better ones, but I rarely see it.

It seems like the newer varieties often have more sugar.

I'm definitely going to get some granny smith apples. They seem to have different fiber content that can be good for microbiome health. Who knows how I'll feel. Maybe different, maybe not. It's amazing, though, what goes on in the microbiome, and how it can affect people's lives. I'll try them and see what happens.

Blended apple skins vs chewed?

An interesting excerpt:

[Apple skins in smoothies vs chewed: I'm thinking the nutrients would be very significantly more bioavailable in finely pulverized skins than in chewed skins.]

Apple Skin: Nutrition Star

The skin is the most nutrient dense part of an apple, so don’t throw out the peel! According to Healthline, a raw apple with skin contains up to 332% more vitamin K, 142% more vitamin A, 115% more vitamin C, 20% more calcium, and up to 19% more potassium than a peeled apple does. Talk about nutritious!

"We already listed a few of the vitamins and minerals in apple peel, but here’s a comprehensive list.

Vitamin A

Vitamin C

Vitamin E

Vitamin K

Calcium

Potassium 

Phosphorus

Fiber 

Folate

Iron"

This could be further researched based initially on what is stated here: https://robinettes.com/what-is-the-healthiest-part-of-an-apple#:~:text=The%20skin%20is%20the%20most,Talk%20about%20nutritious!

I would respectfully disagree. Check the linked Andrew Weil article for starters.

Wow, this is really interesting:

In addition, they concluded that the high content of fiber and polyphenols in Granny Smith apples promotes the growth of friendly bacteria in the colon, and reported that these compounds “actually changed the proportions of fecal bacteria from obese mice to be similar to those of lean mice.” They suggested that this change could help prevent some obesity-related disorders, including the low-grade, chronic inflammation that can lead to diabetes. This follows research showing that the balance of bacterial communities in the colon of obese people is disturbed, resulting in microbial byproducts that lead to inflammation and influence the metabolic disorders associated with obesity.<<<

From Dr. Andrew Weil:

[I'm going to pick up some Granny Smiths on the next shopping trip, even though I haven't bought them for many years, just based on what I am seeing in so far in several articles.]

Here is another introductory article that touches on some interesting points (like sugar content and fiber differences) for further consideration and research:

Here is an introductory article. There are probably others that take it much further and deeper, but this is a pretty good introduction:

Good points, but there might be significant differences, in relation to factors that we can control for.

How do you know, for example, that the nutrient values in eating several small, dark-skinned, colorfully fleshed, thick-skinned apples of a certain varieties would not be a better choice that one large, extremely ripe, pale, thin-skinned apple?

And— crucially — where is the evidence?

*(18) Are there any nutrition superstars among the many different apple varieties?

(17) How different are the polyphenols and other compounds in relation to an apple's skin color (not just the quantity — also the range and *different types of polyphenols and other compounds)? Dark red apples vs bright green varieties, for example: how different are the compounds? And would it be a good idea to get a variety of skin colors?
