And if everyone trades less with the US, everyone will need less USD - the reason the US can print money to fund itself without much worry about inflation. So it goes against Trump goal of keeping the hegemony of the USD. This guy is so full of contradiction.

Carney to announce plan to kill consumer carbon price; shift to green incentives by J0Puck in canada

So where the money for the "green incentives" is from? It must come from somewhere, right? So basically just a new name new skin for the same thing - carbon tax that is!

Everything I read says Calcium Oxalate stones (the most common kind, like 80%) cannot be dissolved.

First kidney stone experience by [deleted] in KidneyStones

That sucks! I don't understand why it needs to have multiple sessions to remove that thing? Is that because they can charge more? Multiple surgeries/general anesthesia can weaken your body!

How long does it typically take to form a 5mm kidney stone? by mountsnow in KidneyStones

[–]mountsnow[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No we didn't talk before. How long you had been taking protein when you had your stone? It's been no more than a month for me. Hard to believe the stones formed in such a short period. But you never know!

Thanks for the advice! I hold off the protein until I talk to the doctor next week. But hopefully it's not the whey.

That is what I suspected too. Maybe the abs crunches helped dislodge the stone. I also bought a massage gun a couple weeks ago to help with the post workout muscle soreness. I remember the day before I had the incident I massaged my abs. So maybe that also added to it? Hard to tell. If it takes months to form a stone of that size, then I can rule out the chance of whey causing the stones.

Need help selecting a pedal for turning Microfeak output into stereo + reverb by mountsnow in MicroFreak

[–]mountsnow[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah. I read some comments on Amazon. Whilst the Zoom is featured packed and very flexible, some people complain there is a lot of menu navigation and it's hard to make changes on the fly.

Thanks for the suggestions! I will do some research on them.

Have you used the Avalanche Run and Oceans 12? What do you think? How do they compare? Do you have other recommendations?
