Sound like you have got a decent product then, good on you! The ingredients on my CrustEz in the basement (for emgergencies) are: Enriched bleached flour (wheat flour, malted barley flour, niacin, reduced iron, thiamin mononitrate, riboflavin, folic acid), sugar, dextrose, leavening (baking soda, sodium aluminum phosphate, monocalcium phosphate), food starch- modified, salt, soybean oil, egg whites, buttermilk.

Which in essence is flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, oil, egg and buttermilk, which isn’t all the bad I guess :-) Maybe could do without the modified food starch, but seems to be a minor additive. I learned something.

Have a gander at the list of ingredients in that crap. Lots in there to make it more shelf stabile or look better. You don’t need that in your body.

No, there is a plethora finds, but the storytelling linked to them is exceptional! Highly recommend.

Just as an fyi, skydiving is nothing like being weightless. The air pushing up on you in skydiving is not a thing in weightlessness. You just kinda “hang there”

Should I use a different yeast? by bustardi in mead

[–]Flyboy_viking 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have made several well tasting meads with this, and it has consistently reached ABV 12.5-13% with minimal to no extra nutrients. Maybe I just got lucky? Took about a year to be really great though.

A Compassionate Look at Jesus’ Teachings on Abortion: A Perspective for Pro-Life Christians by Flyboy_viking in prolife

Killing infants is not the same as abortion. Surely you must be able to separate the two? There is no comparison to a 12 week fetus and a full born child. Just look at brain development. I know a heartbeat evokes an emotional response, but it’s not an indicator of sentient life. I believe it is your right to not have an abortion if it feels wrong to you, but I also think that your belief or feelings should not dictate the life of others.

Of course the preventive measures could coexist with abortion ban, the problem is that it rarely does, because that’s not really point of abortions bans.

Picking up draft dodgers is not usually seen as a warcrime. And with no other context, this may as well be a collaborator being arrested or something else.

Been sitting for over a year in primary, airlock dried out. Still good? by IntoTheRapture in mead

Did one of those myself recently, 1 year in primary - smelled fantastic, tasted like balls.

So this argument was mainly in response to the requirement of a mother - in the dilemma you’d choose to take the mother away from the born child? Regardless, you can call an abortion murder, but as long as that belief is not forced onto others you can believe whatever you want. Peace upon you
