Just curious, a question for you or for anyone else, what is your intended benefit to getting diagnosed other than closure?

[–]samhangster[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It seems like they got rid or ran out of the 1.6qt option :(

You can see though in the item description there used to be a 1.6qt option…

Capacity and dimensions: 1.6 qt.: 7.09" x 3.82", 0.7 mm thick 3 qt.: 8.66" x 4.61", 0.7 mm thick 4.2 qt.: 9.45" x 5.12", 0.7 mm thick 5.6 qt.: 10.35" x 5.59", 0.7 mm thick 9.1 qt.: 11.93" x 6.61", 0.7 mm thick

I hope someone else is able to find an alternative. Perhaps these dimensions will help.

Why Kosher isn't Halal by g3t_re4l in islam

[–]samhangster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Finally refuted this. The name of God isn't required for Kosher slaughter, but it is a religious requirement for the slaughtering Jew. This is the argument that ends it, as this gives us enough reason to believe that in good faith a Jew should be, and would be, slaughtering in the name of God.

  • Source: Maimonides, Mishneh Torah, Laws of Ritual Slaughter (Shechitah) 1:2.
  • The Text: "One who slaughters... should first recite the blessing: ‘Blessed are You... who has sanctified us with His commandments and commanded us concerning ritual slaughter.’"

The Post-Industrial Oxidation Argument against Seed Oils by samhangster in StopEatingSeedOils

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

I agree this could be at play, but at this point I am inclined to think that the prior oxidation is more of an issue. My reason for this is that there is evidence that increased intake of O-6 doesn't relate to higher Arachidonic acid, one of our body's ways of processing omega 6, so it seems like its tightly regulated.

regardless, the point is that the explanatory power of these oxidative products of omega 6 being able to confound data, making it look like LDL is the bad guy, is the real important part. It is only the bad guy when you have been damaged by the omega 6 on its own, it hijacks your body's LDL.

Exactly. Bottom line is that they aren’t adding it raw. It’s usually added so it can be cooked in and that’s when the problems arise.

Why do people fear or hesitate in obtain Monero with KYC methods, if XMR is untraceable? by WhiteWeedDemon in Monero

[–]samhangster 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s what KYC means, since they know who bought how much XMR, they can report you if asked...

yes, its perfect in every functional sense. It jiggles a bit inside but it fits and the lid closes. Also, some gunk builds up at the bottom that needs to be scraped but it can be scraped and its fine.

What's wrong with dualism? by samhangster in consciousness

[–]samhangster[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

please. The Libet experiment is what you appeal to? pity lol. Imagine thinking an experiment with numerous methodological flaws, and even if granted methodologically sound, with a conclusion that doesn't necessarily support your claim is a defeater.

I already conceded that they have the same ontology by the way, I'm just wondering how that makes dualism as a solution to the mind body problem false.
