The quantity doesn't seem right to me, a normal american peanut butter jar is about 2 pounds. I feel like if the only thing you eat in a day is peanut butter that by itself would be about a half a jar right? Calories would put it at ~1/3 a jar for daily caloric intake but obviously you're going to overshoot if you're eating straight peanut butter. Half a jar in a week just doesn't sound that crazy to me, thats barely over 2 servings/day.

Also peanuts are low in oxalates compared to other nuts. The number I keep finding for a low oxalate diet is 100 mg/day. Apparently 200-300 is a typical amount. The highest number I found is 20mg of oxalate to a tablespoon of PB so 2 pounds a week is only 160mg/day unless I messed up the math.

*I think what happened here is OP is either predisposed to kidney stones and is generalizing the special diet they should be on to everybody else or is just overweight and leaving out that detail since everything I'm reading about NAFLD is that it's caused by obesity not oxalates.

Have to respect someone getting in on grifting conservatives without even endorsing their views in the process.

I wish I could find a city that actually enforced noise ordinances against loud vehicles. Every city I've lived in has been way too fucking loud for me to handle, so now I have to drive everywhere because the alternative is live in a city and be driven insane by noise pollution.

It's not abuse to feed an animal a nutritionally complete diet. There is no magical nutrient that exists in animals that cannot be artificially synthesized. Just because you don't care about animal suffering doesn't make it necessary or justified.

Even if that was true, you're still killing other animals which is obviously more harmful/abusive to them than not giving them their favorite food instead of the same nutrients in a different package.

Ah yes, its the people that are against harming animals that are the real animal abusers.

Feeding an animal a nutrionally complete diet: abuse

killing animals: not abuse

It's so funny that they're the largest instance. Only see incredible decisions coming out of there.

from the OP

a pack of vegan burgers, these are more expensive than regular burgers!

I don't think they meant fish burgers when they said regular burgers. And sugar isn't generally considered a vegan substitute for an animal product.

Red meat and processed meat are classed as carcinogenic and have plenty of LDL cholesterol. Its not that hard to be healthier than that.

Does he think people are just switching their brains to 'flow-state'? Did he hear about meditation for the first time? No idea what he's talking about.

Crucially: let me have the damn files.

Why would I pay to use your awful webreader or streaming client when reader apps with good UI and quality video players exist.

Very cool that every institution will continue to act as if SSNs are private information and you can't get a new number issued until after someone uses it to steal your identity.

Not every community wants to be a debate club.

Or you could, maybe, care about whats true instead of what's convenient the same way the right does.

Wow, sounds a lot like my solution to fascists.

ok, state department asset

This doesn't read as a literal quote to me. I'm feeling 50/50 that was what he was thinking and said something more appropriate vs actually saying that. He was on a podcast, presumably in a storytelling/jokey frame of mind.

Can't be, must be russians.

I mean it was mostly rhetorical, code is adopted at the state level and localities can only make it more strict. Arkansas is seemingly pretty up to date on their adopted codes so I have to imagine they were in 2004 as well. I'm mostly familiar with electrical and I know that shit wouldn't have passed inspection in 2004. So either codes are completely unenforced in this location or they did a bunch of modifications without a permit that should make it illegal to sell the dwelling until they get inspected.

Bonus: they're gonna have to rip that interior siding and wall carpeting off to inspect the wiring anyway.
