There are a number of studies that talk about fiver intake, it’s relationship with consumed lead, and how that helps those conditions, like this one, which talks about the gut biome and how fiber helps you excrete lead. None of them are specifically saying “eat fiber poop lead,” but they say “eating fiber and pooping lead” fixes X, Y, Z. I’m too lazy to do Z, I’m on my phone.

I just thought about it one night, and it kind of just felt logical. Fiber says don’t take it within X time of consuming medication, because it can affect the uptake, and I was like, hmm, it’s gotta be more than just medication uptake, it’s probably anything uptake. I’m not sure if it’s anything, per se, but I think you get what I mean.

You know what’s good at removing lead from the body? Fiber. Real catch 22 here, drink more fiber, get more lead, drink more fiber, remove more lead.

And just to have a non-jokey answer, if it’s grown outdoors, it’s probably got lead in it. Prop 65 labels are on everything, making it the Boy Who Cried Wolf of safety labels at this point.

“Go away, I’m batin’!”

Yeah, I work for your biggest social media comoetitor, why would I not just go post slop all over your platform with the intent of getting you fined?

I dunno, someone just throws this up on social media, and you’re the person in the position to say hey, halt the trains, don’t you do just that out of an abundance of caution?

Yeah, I honestly expected it to be worse. Yeah, the dude says Campbell’s for poor people. I’m not poor, but Campbell’s Chicken Noodle has always been a comfort food for when I’m sick. Putting it aside, it is supposed to be food for people on budgets, that’s the whole idea.

And then he goes on to say that their product is shit. I don’t necessarily think that’s a bad thing, if you’re saying it with the idea that maybe the product should get unucked, which I can’t tell from the limited passages and my near-midnight cognition.

The part about fucking Indians, obviously racist, but I’m also not sure what it means. Being from the US, it feels to me like Campbell’s outsourced production or some service to India and is reaping what they sowed, so to speak, with decline in product quality?

Perhaps it’s an awakening for Campbell’s soup, and with a shithead VP’s tirade comes a rebirth of cheap soup for the non-rich (which will be all of us soon enough).

I also think the canned goods market in general just isn’t what it was when it was first introduced. We had nonperishable goods in a can. We’ve replaced the need for the nonperishables with access to fresh foods (yes, I understand not for everyone), and canned goods have taken a hit. It doesn’t help that the price of anything in a can (looking at you seltzer) is straight up double what it used to be. I used to get four 12-packs of seltzer for 8.88. Now, three for 10 is the best deal there is. And that’s because you can’t really skimp and water down the quality of seltzer, because its about as basic as it gets, versus canned soups where you can apparently 3D print meat (paraphrasing) to save money.

The US has given twice the aid as the entirety of the European Union.

What’s crazy is my daughter and I were in the car and she was telling me that a chicken can only lay up to five eggs. And I was like that’s definitely not true, and she said that that’s what her teacher said. I said that it’s definitely not true, and maybe there’s a limit per “egg laying session,” if there is such a thing, but even knowing nothing about chickens, I know they lay more than five eggs.

She then went on to say maybe it was how many kittens a cat can have.

So this argument is a very real thing.

My daughter is 7, so I don’t expect her to have all the facts just yet.

That’s one hundred percent what I thought I was going to see. We’ve been doing it as people, making movies with black people to appeal to black people, making ghost busters with all women to appeal to women. And I’m by no means suggesting that it is effective, but I’m also just some white guy and everything has been targeted at me. I just figured the ad would look more like you, and it’d make you more comfortable, or that would be the idea.

Didn’t the Supreme Court basically say that if the president says it it’s not illegal? Kind of a Catch 22 for anyone involved. Glad I got out!

You have an interesting writing style.

Can’t brick my G500 and my Z5500s. Best in class, approaching decades old at this point.

But as with every company, profits over quality. Fuck em.

Yeah, as brazen as they are, I don’t think they’re murdering American citizens for breach of contract. Regardless of what they said, it would be an incredibly hostile act towards the US and would lead to sanctions at best.

My thought about the whole thing was that if someone went there and, in spite of the agreement they signed, teed off on the Saudis and whatever else they were forbidden from discussing, I’d have had respect. Was honestly hoping that’s what Burr was intending to do. I’d have donated to the GoFundMe for them to fight the inevitable lawsuit from the Saudis.

Obviously didn’t happen. We live in a difficult world, and when presented with the choice between fighting (hard) and rolling over (easy), people take the obvious choice. I don’t know if I’m doing it differently.

Are these sets even recorded and able to be viewed somewhere, or were they essentially private? If they’re private, I dunno, I get it.

Yeah, I think the whole idea of the US wanting the chips produced inside its own borders makes sense in a vacuum. China fucks around (which, sure, is against their character), chips are safe.

Obviously we don’t live in a vacuum, and the US diplomatic mission is, at best, totally unreadable, and at worst, won’t help anyone but itself.

As with just about any other nation, the US is using what is ostensibly it’s only bargaining chip these days, their massive consumerism, knowing that Taiwan sells the majority of its chips to the US.

This play seems to be Trump’s only play: Demand something outrageous, with some thinly veiled threats overlaying the demand. Get rejected. Receive counterproposal that is far, far less than initial demand. Tout superiority.

My preferred beef, personally, is from local farms, and so I’m all about the idea about smaller farms. I’d be lying if I said I didn’t buy from factory farms, chicken, beef, and pork, but I try to go local when possible.

Although as I’m writing this, I’m really not sure if local meats and their prices are affected much by the factory farms.

So yeah, I guess all I mean is that I’m totally cool with an America that has fewer factory farms, the operations, from top to bottom, seem to thrive on just terrible conditions, environmentally and all. And I’m also cool with the massively wealthy families who own these farms maybe feeling a squeeze.

Listen dude, if you want to get the uparrows you gotta say how this hurts America, maybe a little #fucktrump, et cetera.

I have little to no background in IT or CS, but I always wanted to set up networks with those Ubiquiti antennas that can broadcast out a few kilometers. I got a buddy who just happens to be a few kilometers away. We could set up our own private, albeit incredibly limited, internet. Outside of that, if you’re using a utility or a service, you can’t expect your info to be locked up right. And so you need to keep certain shit offline, or use a HAM radio, or some other kind of private network for broadcasting, which is not feasible. But it would be neat.

Could always have a really long string with cans on either end. Can’t tap that phone.

I use Google suite. Use it for work stuff, general bullshit. Works great. None of the data going over it is of particular import (to me).

There are things that I believe require a better handling, and they’re handled differently, all the way up to physical media.

It just might be naive, in this day and age, to think a company won’t cooperate with authorities. Yes, there are exceptions, but they either fear repercussions or they were never built well enough to keep authorities out in the first place.

One of my big takeaways from the Marines (of which there are many) was never do anything without a buddy. There are certainly jobs that are for one person, but a pilot definitely ain’t that.
