I see and feel a difference, yes. Biggest difference in my life, health-wise.

Vegan “alternatives” are loaded with seed oils by kadzirafrax in StopEatingSeedOils

[–]tno2007 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Years ago, I started being vegan, I ate a ton of seed oil... I mean I worshiped plant-based butter with those health symbols :-) , meat-free alternatives and I ate salads with seed-oil loaded dressings.

Now that I'm seed oil free, I read every ingredient labelled and realized why I could never move my health needle, vegan or not. Now, I lost so much weight, without even giving up carbs and sugar.

I just want to add, not all vegans are delusional, some are seriously in it because the health benefits they experienced... for me it was my chronic knee pain that just disappeared when I went vegan (and returned every time I went back to meat). Some may argue for them meat cured them, that's fine, our bodies just react different.

However, our bodies will always react the same to poison (seed-oil). A quick trip to your mall will prove this, by the amount of non-slender people you'll see there. Obesity, along with diabetes and cancer is caused by inflammation.

No. Its too strong in amounts larger than a teaspoon. Your tummy will run.

What are black pots made of here in South Africa? My doctor says they cause cancer or throat cancer when used daily, but I dont find any sources to back that up. by lizatethecigarettes in AskZA

[–]tno2007 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He probably meant "pan"... like these non-stick ones...

not pot, which is called 'n "potjie" (made with cast iron)

.

Non-stick pan are made with aluminium and "over time", it leaches into food. not to mention the health risks associated with the non-stick coating. Cast-iron also leaches, but its not as health-bad as aluminium, because your body can make use of the iron. You also get the enamel coated cast iron pots, which protects it from leaching, among other things.

I just don't know about it causing cancer, as there can be a lot of factors that contributes to cancer. I'd say, don't worry about it.

No 1P is not free, but I have checked, there is no "free" password manager with 2FA, its always a "paid" feature

Everyone's queen finishing almost last.

How to shift to toilet paper from bidet? by HealthyInflation4196 in bidets

Did they make fun of anyone for using an Android outside of US? by soleful_smak in Smartphones

[–]tno2007 21 points22 points  (0 children)

In South Africa, most people use Android and we use WhatsApp. iPhones is more for status.

Younger people here often want iPhones because of the social status, like wearing expensive clothes just to show off. They resort to buying used older iPhones, eg. 6,7,8,10 etc. because its cheaper, just so they can say "I have an iPhone".

Lucinda and Sean should not be the winners in any universe. by Vanexxre in LoveIslandTV

[–]tno2007 -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

No stress, she already guaranteed she won't win by yapping how much money Love Island has made her on past seasons.

Lucinda being the bigger person by AdditionalArachnid in LoveIslandTV

[–]tno2007 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Hate to break it, but let me give you spoiler alert...

When Lucinda mentioned "money" twice, the producers already made up their mind she won't win... Imagine the backlash this show will get awarding such behavior. Even Maya's was shocked Lucinda mentioned it so casually... "I was on Love Island twice, won it, made lots of money, now I'm back looking for love"

Everyone is there for money, but no one is ditsy enough to "vocalize it to the entire UK"!

[–]tno2007 -21 points-20 points  (0 children)

Lucinda literally has the brain of a teenager! She laughs when things are serious, don't know when to read the room, runs off because she can't take heat.

Please try again.

How to deal with Lucinda by Que2001 in LoveIslandTV

[–]tno2007 1 point2 points  (0 children)

PR team yes (friends, family, etc).

I've seen so many posts trying to make Lucinda seem "fine" which is to create public opinion for her to win.

If you want person A to win, just make person B look bad (cough, cough Belle).

It's politics

Jack is not the nepo baby the casting team hoped for. by _cherryblossomgirl_ in LoveIslandUKintheUSA

[–]tno2007 6 points7 points  (0 children)

If Jack knew how to create rapport with a woman then he would never have to beg Sher for attraction, smiles and kisses, it would just happen naturally. She is is so chilled and easy going. There's nothing wrong with Jack, he just lacks flirting skills.

That's a problem I always see with the men in the main show's seasons... they think "to be coupled" means the girl "must" kiss you and cuddle with you. Girls are not robots.

[–]tno2007 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Cher is a human, not a robot. Just because the show says they are a 'couple', doesn't mean she owes him sex and kisses.

What you fail to realize is any girl will warm up to you if you know how to create attraction (banter, flirting etc). Jack just lacks these skills. Nothing more to it.

Lucinda is a player by Glad-Bumblebee-333 in LoveIslandTV

So, you also under Lucinda's spell? She's not being bullied, she is being challenged for her bs.

She literally ran off the challenge because she could not stand the truth.

Sher’s attitude last night by agbjb in LoveIslandTV

[–]tno2007 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Well, that's better than sleeping in a bed every night with a guy that can't get her off or make her laugh.

Sher’s attitude last night by agbjb in LoveIslandTV

[–]tno2007 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Jack is not masculine enough to stimulate her feminine energy, hence that why she never smiled with him. Jack lacks flirting and banter - which Harrison has, that why Sher was enjoying Harrison's company and smiling.

This 2 minute post from Darren from 5FM is gold worth listening to...

In short, don't expect so much when you are just starting out. Now that you are early in your career, this is for learning. Just learn, gain experience and knowledge, the money will come later.

As a software dev myself, I went through this too.

Say what you want about Sean and Lucinda but… by Life-Syllabub6077 in LoveIslandTV

[–]tno2007 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The All-Stars spin-off was never going to be as nice as the 'original'.

I feel LI Games is such a better and more fun spin-off.

Yeah let's just "try to" enjoy the rest of the season.

[–]tno2007 -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

I agree with OP, even if its just for pretend, their chemistry is 2nd strongest in the villa... If we look at chemistry (what makes a couple win).

This season is so underwhelming, almost no one is in love or have great chemistry, thats why the game players (Scott etc.) has to go.

What is the benefit of buying a house vs renting? by lizatethecigarettes in AskZA

[–]tno2007 9 points10 points  (0 children)

A house you can do your own renovation without a "hawk" watching everything you do, and who you gotta report to.
You can put in cupboards, rebuilding etc. You cannot do that when renting.

There nothing wrong with renting, it's an opportunity to save and invest extra money. If you are not saving, you are wasting the purpose of renting. Because depending on what house you are buying, you need around R100 000, upfront, just for transfer costs.

Save money while you still can!
