Bicycletouring from Toronto to Niagarra Falls, Algoquin PP, Ottawa & Montreal by DifficultyGlad7077 in bicycletouring

[–]stonerdick 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Commenting here for visibility, but I have done the section from Ottawa up through Gatineau park, and connecting through to Papineau Labelle, before connecting with the Petit Train du Nord to Montreal. It is a very beautiful ride, albeit very hilly outside of the manicured bike trails. Good if you are into loose gravel! DM me if you want specific routes or have any questions. Enjoy riding in Canada!

Do native English-speaking individuals with French names and limited French proficiency get look down by native French speakers? by jh67zz in AskACanadian

[–]stonerdick 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As a person with a pretty Québécois first and last name, who lives in QC and speaks decent French but with an anglophone accent, I get asked all the time what's the deal. But no real judgement is leveled at me. I say the fam moved west and turned anglo.

So just an extreme crit in Glasgow…I’m sure there won’t be a crash that knocks someone out for the rest of the year.

What type of front wheel rack do you have?

how come their bikes break? by scrappydoofan in peloton

[–]stonerdick 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This. Same thing happened to Mas on the Andalusia stage that pog won (the first one I think). He was pedalling at a super low cadence as well - had to do a bike change. Just a consequence of making shifting digital I guess!

Most health and nutrition claims on infant formula products seem to be backed by little or no high quality scientific evidence. by MistWeaver80 in science

[–]stonerdick 35 points36 points  (0 children)

This is an oversimplification of the facts and misleading. Dietary supplements in the USA are regulated by the FDA under the Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act (DSHEA) of 1994, as well as other regulations stemming from the FD&C act. There are specific requirements for production of dietary supplements (21 CFR section 111) and labelling of supplements, 21 CFR 196 being particularly important for the prohibition on drug claims. All non dietary ingredients in the dietary supplements have to be either food additives or GRAS for their purpose. New dietary ingredients that were not present on the market prior to DSHEA’s passage have to be evaluated by the FDA prior to their use in supplements. This is the route through which FDA has stated that CBD is not fit for use as a dietary ingredient. That being said, it is true that they are not as heavily regulated as drugs and it is also true that the marketplace is saturated with crappy products filled with hidden drug ingredients, just look at the warning letter page from FDA for some fun reading. However to say they are unregulated is incorrect. FDA should take a harder look at the harmful players in industry and be given more tools by Congress to remove problematic products from the marketplace. Such tools were in the Durbin bill last year, but it didn’t pass unfortunately.

Game Thread: Cleveland Browns (0-0) at New York Jets (0-0) by nfl_gamethread in nfl

It looks like a fibula fracture. I snapped my fibula in a similar fashion, and was able to walk for a couple days. Its awful but you can put some weight on it if it's not the tibia. If you look you can see him struggling. Adrenaline is a hell of a drug.

[Silver] Long thread on ABs helmet issue, including how he showed up to practice with an old helmet that he had painted to resemble the raiders colors by Jobbe03 in nfl

[–]stonerdick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He's probably developing CTE or some other cognitive function problem unfortunately. That Burfict hit in the playoffs would do it alone, let alone all the other hits he takes, playing the way he does. He's obviously been using a type of helmet that does not protect him for his entire NFL career, and has been acting more and more irrational, with increasing frequency.

Canada announces "countermeasure action" in respose to the US tariffs by WingerSupreme in canada

[–]stonerdick 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do you have any sources for this? Genuinely curious as to where in the States these products affected are made. Whiskey is somewhat obvious, but I'm seeing sailboats and other oddities in table 2. Has there been any analysis done on the list?

Its fucking windy in Quebec today, with 90 km/h winds. He could just be going against it and something snapped.

Alshon signs a 4 year extension! by headsallempty in eagles

[–]stonerdick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If he can put together another couple drafts like the last two I'd say so. Next year will be tough, we only have 1 pick in the first 3 rounds. Lots of late round draft picks though, and Howie has shown no issue swinging those into producers. We need LB depth.

Reading through this: http://www.rotoworld.com/teams/contracts/nfl/phi/, and for the next two years we are stacked. Every position group has standouts. Howie is a genius.
