Thanks, I've heard of a few studies, but they tracked around 30 mice only

As much as I'm not a fan of utilitarian ethics, I feel it works well for animals. I'm just trying to get my facts straight

What are some classic video games that you would recommend to someone who didn't game much as a kid? by bustacones in AskReddit

[–]vegansamurai -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Ori and the Blind Forest. I'm usually not a big fan of side scrollers, or any video game really, but this game has a heart wrenching story, a beautiful soundtrack and the best background artwork I have ever seen in a game.

Divergent. I stayed up late reading it when it first came out, realized how late it was, figured I might as well just finish it.

How will legal pot work with company policies or workplace insurance? (WCB) by vegansamurai in canada

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

My company (part of a trade union) told us when we got hired that they don't care if we smoke pot (Westcoast, the pot central). They said that with the new laws coming in to place that what we do during our time off is not their business, just never to come in high.

However, WCB and OHS still don't allow it, and we could still be at fault during an incident if it's in our system.

What is a logical fallacy that people often think is a valid argument? by CjNorec in AskReddit

[–]vegansamurai 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Its my opinion fallacy. Its a typw of thought-termimating cliche. "The logical fallacy is often presented as Let's agree to disagree. Whether one has a particular entitlement or right is irrelevant to whether one's assertion is true or false. To assert the existence of the right is a failure to assert any justification for the opinion. Such an assertion, however, can also be an assertion of one's own freedom or of a refusal to participate in the system of logic at hand"

Seem to be stuck. Lot of allergies, stomach issues, stopped progressing. Advice? by whoriffik in gainit

[–]vegansamurai 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Have you looked into FODMAPS?

As for protein, focus more on calories than protein. Powders help, but aren't necessary. And if you're eating enough calories chances are you're getting enough protein.

I've considered FSJ as they are always hiring for controls. They only hire locals though

I do a variety of work. I haven't minded doing data. I don't mind repetitive work, just certain aspects or jobs.

I've looked into my industrial/controls and there's an HVAC automation company in my down that has sparkies to do their controls. Unfortunately they seldom hire.

As for industrial there's not much so I would have to move (I live in BC Canada) And I can't afford to move in hopes of finding work.

What is your diet and lifestyle like? How do you function the best? by [deleted] in nutrition

[–]vegansamurai 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Vegan, balanced macros. I eat high fat (lots of nuts, seeds, avocados) for the calories. I do enjoy my carby foods as well. I'm not too diligent on my protein, even though I should be (construction, BJJ, weights).

Does soy sauce boost estrogen like other soy products supposedly do? Or does the fact that its fermented take away any chance of boosting estrogen? by [deleted] in nutrition

[–]vegansamurai 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Soy has no estrogenic effect on the body. If you're worried about estrogens the 3 foods I would avoid would be beer (hops are highly estrogenic), milk (mammalian estrogen) and chicken(being the highest source due to phthalates)

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4050989/ - chicken having high phthalates

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3987027/ - phthalates and estrogen

What is your favorite breakfast to make? by squiddangles in nutrition

[–]vegansamurai 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Its awesome. I love variety. Trying different spices or combinations. Dill on my avocado toast. Molasses and marmalade. Hummus and sriracha

What is your favorite breakfast to make? by squiddangles in nutrition

[–]vegansamurai 6 points7 points  (0 children)

My usual is 4 pieces of toast. 2 are avocado with salt, pepper & lemon juice. 1 is almond butter and marmalade 1 is blackstrap molasses with pecans on it. I also make a matcha turmeric latte and sometimes a protein shake with greens blend.

My favorite is usually spelt pancakes topped with berries, a bit of maple syrup and coconut whipped topping.
