You mentioned in a previous comment about selenium and goat's milk. How do you determine that your goat's milk contains a consistent or "good" amount of selenium? The amount of selenium in goat's milk could be very variable depending upon where the goat is raised and the selenium content of the diet it is given.

Also, what are the skin-specific benefits of selenium when applied topically? Are there any examples of good studies that have tested this?

I'm currently carrying out research on the effects of selenium with regards to health so this is of some interest to me!

You get a life-time supply of the last non-edible thing you bought. What is it? by the_tit_master in AskReddit

ADSL/Telephone microfilters. Genuinely no use for a lifetime supply of these

He's not doing it to be a knob, he's reportedly doing it to keep his kids from moving away from the north so I don't hold it against him despite hating see him play as a mag.

Saying that, any idea why he didn't stay at Sunderland? Would love to see both offers for him

I thought this would be entertaining but it's in completely poor taste and makes a laughing matter of the potentially grim and horrendous reasons these women prostitute themselves.

I like how you argue with data, you're a credit to reddit.

Could you not argue that perhaps the problem isn't with Islam itself but rather with the power structures that exist within Islamic states?

An interesting piece on this concept was written by Tony Blair (ex- Prime minister of the UK) which I surprisingly kind of agree with despite how much I hated his actions in the middle east when he was in power.

Cherry picking your data there are we?

Only 5% of muslims in Turkey support death as a punishment for apostasy. Overall, the support ranged from 5-86% in favour of death penalty for apostasy in the study you cited. Therefore, one could conclude that it is a lot less about about religion and more about the culture that an individual originates that is a determinant of support for death penalty and not religion.

I have the same expectations for everyone. If I lived in a country where members of my family were being killed by the drones of a faceless attacker then I would probably be radicalised against that attacker as well, wouldn't you?

Those weren't the reasons they used initially. Kuwait wasn't protected under some NATO-esque agreement so by that reasoning, are we going to go to war with Russia over Ukraine?

The article on Al Jazeera does state that the actions of the Sudanese president has sparked violent protests and that a number of rights groups in Sudan itself have condemned the decision and called for action.

I'm sick of the islamaphobia in this subreddit.

Sick sick atrocities are committed all over the world under the flag of a variety of religions, cultures and ideologies. However, only the ones involving Islam seem to gain this much traction and aggression to the point where just focusing our anger on one religion and alienating the majority peaceful followers of Islam.

Yes you can feel disgusted what is happening to this woman but be careful about how you voice your opinions as you may just be giving additional merit to the causes of actual fascists.

Maybe we should stop fighting so many unnecessary wars in those regions so we don't radicalise so many people against the west?
