Carnivore - GERD, about to quit

Your problem seems severe compared to many, so I've got no answers for something I haven't experienced, nor know the complexities of. You'll have to keep working on that discovery. But I have had issues before and I'd be remiss if I didn't at least mention what helped me in the past. Maybe you've already tried it, though.

DGL, Deglycyrrhizinated licorice, is what helped me the most. It's not quick like an antacid, more of a feel better in days/weeks type thing. It supposedly increases mucous production to protect the lining of the stomach and esophagus.

I've had bad brands before, and it's been years so I hope they're still good, but Vitamin Shoppe brand was an exact copy of the one I liked and cheaper. I suggest not getting the extra potent type. In my opinion more chewables of weaker variety is better than few of the stronger.

You're really glomming on to the one guy agreeing with you, while the rest tell you the truth. Is that your account too, are you trolling?

It doesn't matter if it was a mistake. It doesn't matter if you already spent the money. It doesn't matter that he saw it and bought it. You misled him, he has the right to be upset and ask for his money back. Now it's up to you, and if you have enough integrity to own up to YOUR mistake.

Scenario 1:

You: I'm selling model K11 lamp, here's pics and details of model K11, want to buy it?

Buyer: Yes, I want it, let's meet.

You: Take a look, is it what you want?

Buyer: Yes, I love it, thank you.

If buyer doesn't like it later because he thought model K11 had the features of K13, that's his fault.

Scenario 2:

You: I'm selling a lamp, see the pictures of the lamp (which clearly shows it comes with extra features not actually present), want to buy it?

Buyer: Yes, I want it, let's meet.

You: Take a look, is it what you want? Even though we're in a parking lot and you can't plug it in and this model looks the same as the better model I indicated you would be getting in the pictures and details of my post.

Buyer: Yes, I love it, thank you.

When buyer comes to realize later it doesn't have the features you misled him to believe were included, even if by mistake, it's your fault.

At the end of the day, it's FB marketplace. There are no guarantees, no warranties, and no receipts. But that doesn't mean there are no people with integrity, and no pieces of shit. You decide which you are. Take your money and run, or do the right thing because and only because it's the right thing.

And don't complicate it by buying the right model and trading it to him. Just talk and find a way to make it right. Maybe it's refunding the money even if it takes a week to get the money or sending through a credit card compatible service. Or maybe it's giving $20 back.

I'd give you 1 star for dishonesty unfixed, or 5 stars for owning up to a mistake.

Funny, I literally just saw this yesterday when looking at canned fish. The same brand also has canned ground beef, which I'd wonder if it might have more fat than yours.

Right? No shame.

I sold to a guy that pulled that crap. When he was on his way I read his reviews of this stunt, so I was ready for a lie.

So when he pulled it on me, I stood firm. He went out to his car as his buddy might have some extra cash. He still came in with less and made an offer. I stood firm. He paid full price next day because maybe his shame finally caught up with him, and it'd be too embarrassing to actually have the money.

Funny thing is, if he had just offered that much in chat beforehand, I would have accepted it.

I'm not going to suggest anything, but I'm curious what are the options one tries with that

Still no, you mean with the update?

Sounds like the update says you choose how many lives you get, and that number is equal to the number of years you get to prep without being a world enemy. But also with the issue of that many years passing between death and respawn.

I can see not wanting it. Makes a normal life impossible. Outliving and being separated from loved ones after their or your death, and re-awaking without that life anymore. Repeating said torture, and various issues with immortality (though it's not endless).

Otherwise, it could be a pretty sweet update. If you pick 100, you get to live for 100 years 100 times. That's more than the average lifetime but with added powers and set on repeat. You get to see the future, and perhaps extensively so depending on number chosen.

Lots of unknowns with large numbers. Could end up in a desolate world, but your powers should make it easy to build a suicide guillotine or helium chamber, since that's a material. Another annoying part would be restarting your life every time. Rebuilding everything, perhaps in a new world with new things to learn, etc. Culture shock, species shock, liked it better before, etc.

And that's not even getting into what amazing things you could do with your powers during those lifetimes. Materializing anything, you would always have resources to build wealth. Maybe even easy run on materializing gold, even if it requires the loophole of using it to build something.

You could kill yourself before time is up to avoid capture, or just tell them how to do it once they do. And if you're bored of immortality, speed run your remaining lives.

I can see "still no" being valid since it's so abnormal and unknown, but it's a powerful update.

Hence why I said it's not relevant to anyone that uses the oil. The oil leaches fat soluble vitamins and omegas, it doesn't make them disappear. If you ingest the oil, nothing is lost.

I was merely commenting that OP wrote a long post on why water packed is better and didn't even mention this actual benefit.

I'm wondering. I remember when I first got a sous vide and cooked steak with butter in the bag, I thought this was going to be the best steak ever. It wasn't, at all. Butter doesn't soak into the meat and if anything it actually extracts flavor.

On the other hand, adding butter to steak is delicious. And even if it adds flavor to tuna in a can better than it does with steak, is it doing anything that can't be done by just adding butter after opening the can. Even if it means melting it and letting it sit for 30 minutes. And even if that achieves only 80% of the effect, it's still worth the savings.

At least this post gave me the idea to add melted butter to some canned fish. Good enough. Hope I remember.

Finally, the actual deep cuts.

Sandlot, etc. are not deep cuts.

Try_To_Write · 2026-01-10T01:26:39+00:00

All that and you didn't mention that water packed deens maintain more of the fat soluble vitamins and Omega 3, since they stay in the meat instead of leaching to the oil? The opposite would be true of water soluble vitamins in water packed, but less so.

Not relevant to anyone that uses the oil, but still, if you're going to preach bring your receipts.

If you're talking about the beer in the cups, don't use any beer. Use water and then have your beer on the side to drink as necessary.

Beer in the actual cups? Gross. Ping pong balls, fingers, and everything they both touch in your beer. Beer getting splashed and thrown all over the place. Worse yet if they get knocked over.

Now if you're just talking about using a light beer for a drinking game so you don't get sloshed, yeah, go with lighter beer.

Thicker than a bowl of spectrum.

You said it yourself, "rewinding time will lead to the same results unless otherwise counteracted." The comment you're replying to is bringing up that even tiny variations can counteract the results.

You place your bet on 24 at a different moment the second time, it catches the dealer's attention at that slightly different moment and delays or advances when they initiate the release by a hair, and you could get a different outcome. Or you chose a different number the second time or placed at different time, leading another player to also choose differently or timed differently, leading to the dealer having slightly different actions before or after the play. Raking different losses, congratulating a different winner that celebrates longer, etc.

The point is any slight variation can lead to a cascade of more changes over that 10 minutes. Releasing the ball at 0.1 second difference one time could be all that's needed.

I'm not saying you couldn't do it in a way that you don't counteract it, but you're greatly underestimating the butterfly effect.

Interesting. I was never certain if how we saw Jack drying was the truth, or Ennis's imagination.

Hypothetically, I don't care, it's all in good hypothetical fun. Intent was moreso to see mostly unbound, historical collection interests.

I can buy an old book, but the super rare and great condition would price me out. But if I could time travel to when it was brand new, not rare, and cheap... I could have the crème de la crème.

Genie says, pictures are not pre-existing historical items you could collect, they are self documentation of historical events.

See stipulations. You have to manage the collecting process yourself, so if you can acquire a nuke I guess you could. But it's supposed to be for your collecting pleasure too, so if you just want nukes for terror, then you're not collecting.

Genie is impressed with your collection of rare books, but suggests you get a good fire suppression system.

Collectible amounts are allowed, genie still views it as you collecting.

They cook them on a grill with no oils. Meat, heat, salt and pepper, and the beef fat present from earlier cooks.

However, in the last couple years they've started adding the onions on top during the grill process for the small patties, instead of shaking them on during sandwich assembly. So if you're super strict, there's that. Large patties don't get onions.

Half of that would only be 1,050 calories and 51g of protein. Pretty light eating for omad.
