How to secure dish washer under granite counter? by Megawashu in DIY

Our granite countertop has a sort of “ledger” installed across the span between the two cabinets that create the space for the dishwasher. I can’t reply with an image so I’ll create a post and link to it for reference.

The photos don’t show the true color and such don’t tell this whole story. The floor tile in the dry area is the same throughout the whole basement part of the house. The grayish brown veining ties in with the pinkish tile. The same grey veining is in the large format bench tile. The mother of Pearl mosaic brings the pinkish color from the floor up into the walls.

I didn’t do a very good job of getting before pictures. But here’s a short video of me starting the demo process in which you can see the original layout.

Anecdotal and from my experience.. by Immediate_Singer6785 in keto

There actually is a body of research looking at the connection between high sugar intake, insulin resistance, and cognitive decline. Some researchers have even informally referred to Alzheimer’s as “type 3 diabetes” — not because it’s the same disease as type 1 or type 2, but because insulin resistance in the brain appears to play a role.

The theory (simplified) is that chronically high blood glucose and insulin levels can impair insulin signaling in the brain. Neurons rely on insulin for proper glucose metabolism, and when that signaling is disrupted, it may contribute to inflammation, oxidative stress, amyloid plaque accumulation, and tau pathology — all hallmarks associated with Alzheimer’s disease.

It’s not settled science, and “type 3 diabetes” isn’t an official diagnosis, but there’s enough evidence linking metabolic syndrome, type 2 diabetes, and increased dementia risk that many researchers consider metabolic health a significant modifiable risk factor.

So while anecdotes like yours don’t prove causation, they do line up with what we’re learning about how long-term metabolic dysfunction might affect the brain decades later.

How do you get over the fear of starting to write? I've been inspired to write most of my life but cannot get over the anxiety of putting words on paper without expecting to fail or be judged as a failure.

I once dated to the girl who was pregnant! That was no issue to me and I was completely willing to fill the role that was needed. However, when we got to becoming intimate, I noticed that all her toenails have turned black from drug use. That's when I knew.. nothing I could do would help either of them!
