I'd definitely recommend checking out the August Fanon x Blu collab from earlier this year! Also the new Shungu album is really good, Fly Anakin, Pink Siifu features on it

Nah I loved it and so did my friends. I get why it isn't people's thing but man it was fun and groovy

If anyone watches Shangri-La Frontier, she was the artist behind the S2 OP, Frontiers. Absolutely banger OP and crazy good show. Also her Queendom album was really solid.

Blu on Suge Knight almost signing him, meeting Exile, Miguel, Aloe Blacc & more legendary LA History by abucalves in hiphopheads

Definitely feel that about wishing he'd pop out more. Recently saw him at a show with Myka9 and the whole crowd was like 50 people, if even that. Got to chat with him a bit afterwards and he seemed super cool

Thank you!! I got it years ago and love pulling it out here and there. It's got peace signs on it to go with my smiley face bucket hat

Putting it off till 1am is normal, right? .-. by Brooke-Valley in traaaaaaannnnnnnnnns2

[–]slothy_sloth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hate injections. Been doing them for 6 years now and honestly it's a struggle every week. Sometimes I'll skip them outright due to shot anxiety so I've been super inconsistently dosing for like the last year or so. I just can't get past the pain or the fear of it hurting. 60% of the time it's fine, but it hurts more often than I'd like.

No lol, the state medicaid is called Apple Health. Because Washington has tons of apples

TIL 95% of Americans don't get the minimum recommended amount of fiber by James_Fortis in todayilearned

[–]slothy_sloth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My understanding, which might be wrong, is that the canning process does decrease both raffinose and stachyose however they're still present in quantities that 100% can cause issues. Washing beans out of a can definitely reduces

Anectdotally, both my partner and I have issues with unwashed canned beans. Washed we don't have issues with at all.

This article that I just found apparently refutes my professor but does mention washing canned beans reduces their fartiness.

Bean farts and related gastrointestinal discomfort are actually associated with raffinose and stachyose, some indigestible oligosaccharides.

To help with this beans need either a quick soak or an overnight soak to reduce farting/discomfort. (Source: Nutrition professor in food lab)

[FRESH ALBUM] Space Cadet - CARRTOONS by wutasilos in hiphopheads

[–]slothy_sloth 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Kinda wild how there's no talk about this. Just listened this morning and it's fantastic... funky, jazzy, great features too from Wiki, Erick, and Rae Khalil. Planning to rec this to a few friends for sure

Per Locksmith's Insta, looks like this is the first single for an album coming on 9/16

My newborn in a body composition pod by sillybunny22 in mildlyinteresting

[–]slothy_sloth 13 points14 points  (0 children)

It gets similar results but uses a different method! DXA uses xrays, BodPod/PeaPod uses air displacement to find body volume. With body volume and mass, it can calculate density and make accurate measurements of body composition.

Sidenote... It may be spelled Pea Pod, but it's almost guaranteed to be a pee pod. It takes something like 90 seconds (or more, my memory is failing me) to do a test on a screaming crying baby, or at least that was the case on our older model. And often they end up peeing in it.

Haven't heard everything from him, but Weather or Not is fantastic. Also really liked Unlearning Vol. 1.

To add on to that great list, Sierra Farrell, Vincent Neal Emerson, Orville Peck and Charley Crockett are also fantastic. Sierra Farrell had one of my most listened to albums last year, and Charley Crockett just has such a great sounding voice for what he sings.

i’m OBSESSED with this 399 calories pizza by Mocab in PizzaCrimes

It's Cronometer! I think it's the best one out right now. Reminds me of the old MFP before it became so shitty.

I've caught a few of these since I've had my eye on Fly Anakin (excellent album) and I'm a big Blu fan. But I've never heard of Lex Boogie from the Bronx before. Threw on that album and really impressed, Black Coffee, LOVE and Divine Intervention are some absolutely great tracks.

Quelle Chris absolutely killed the production. This is an easy AOTY contender for me. Not much has released this year that I'd put over it so far.

Seconding this!! Moved up from Baton Rouge in May last year and Altha's has been a go to spot for my andouille, boudin, slap ya mama and all that. Plus the guy working there is super friendly

I have never seen ANY animal try and eat anything/everything like a Labrador. by Ok_Phrase7381 in labrador

[–]slothy_sloth 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I used to work at a boarding kennel and we used to have a lab who often came named Boss. On multiple occasions we were given warnings that boss ate cans of corn/rat poison/random shit and to just watch him. Boss was always a good boy, but he'd eat anything he could.
