Hayeksplosives, have you looked into the Low FODMAP diet? It’s provided substantial relief from my IBS. The ‘fodmaps’ are carbohydrates and are found in many foods, including flour. I buy gluten-free not to avoid gluten, which causes me no problems, but inulin and other fur tans in flour.

I will look into it. I’m a newb to the gluten thing. My low carb diet caused me to avoid gluten without particularly trying to.
I imagined that I do better with less gluten; I need to do it scientifically to be sure. I also happen to enjoy baking bread,, and since I need to keep my sodium low, I should be able to “design” the perfect bread for me.

I’ve tried every diet ever invented and I still stand by the claim that a vegan diet is the best diet for humans. No bias, I just know what I’ve personally experienced. I just don’t think it’s worth living 5 more years while having a really bad time for the rest of my life with my carnivore wife.
It’s all relative. There is no perfect diet, and I’ve known people who got fat on vegan diets (carb overload) and people who got skinny without any particular plan.
I’m a carbo. Cutting out carbs makes me shed 2 lbs/week. I got a bit skinnier when I ate mostly vegetarian, but had the same results when I added in chicken and the occasional steak.
That said, I do think that learning to cook vegetarian or vegan is immensely helpful. If you can develop flavors without meat, then you have a wide palette to work from.

My niece went anemic on a vegetarian diet, I gained weight on a low carb diet. There’s no one thing that works for everyone.
I’ve tried low carb many times. It does result in rapid weight loss. But it also, for me, result in serious negative consequences, like low energy, and gout.
From the science I’ve researched, mind you, not the woke shit, your body really wants carbs for energy and it’s at the same time burned off more rapidly for energy it is less calorie dense than protein. I lost 60 lbs on a vegan diet. Never have had those results on a low carb diet, with zero bad effects, and I felt great.
But like you said, we’re all individuals and we can expect different results, unlike what the Borg tells us.

That is not to say I am not tempted by all the goodies in the house, but I’m getting older and my joints are screaming at me.
I am not arrogant enough to tell people that X diet is best for them. You do you, Hyperion, but vegan/vegetarianism is not the be-all end-all for the whole of the human population. Neither is low-carb.
As for anemia, I’m anemic even WITH iron pills. Going without red meat would make it worse.

Once upon a time, Alaskan Brewery did not distribute to Colorado, but they did distribute to Wyoming. I absolutely *needed* Alaskan Winter Ale in one cold November (2006 or 2007?). This was during my time in graduate school. Along with a fellow grad student who originated from Melbourne, Florida, I made a road trip to Cheyenne to load up on ~$300 worth of Alaskan beer; bear in mind that this is a not insignificant sum to a starving graduate student so I was very committed to obtaining this beer. It was well worth it not only for the fact that the beer was (and is) delicious, but I plied the desk clerk from my apartment complex with it into coitus. This is the only woman with whom I’ve engaged in vaginal intercourse that has better tits than Mrs. Q; slightly larger, comparable perkiness but significantly smaller areolae which I value highly. Her personality left much to be desired. I did later receive oral sex from a woman whose tits were as close to perfect I could imagine; if I could design tits in a lab, I could scarcely do better than them. That’s a different story though.
In any case, my road-trip compatriot dropped out for, at the time, unspecified reasons. I later found out that the reason he left was his heroin addiction which I found out later had claimed his life. To this day I wonder how I could be blind to his addiction. It was a fun road trip though and he introduced me to Dragonforce. So this is dedicated to him.

Breasts and fucking women don’t fit this story.
Sorry about your compatriot.
I have a relative that beat a heroin addiction. I didn’t know what was going on until I received an e-mail from my relative which started out along the lines of “I’ve been lying about a lot of things.” My relative had been busted for buying heroin somewhere in Philly between when my relative signed up for rehab and rehab check-in day. Just one last fix you know.
The e-mail came a day or two after the arrest. The folks at the rehab center, after my relative told them what happened, told my relative to come clean to relatives/friends/anyone my relative lied to. My relative did that.
Looking back on things, I don’t know that I would have noticed what was really going on. Some people can hide things pretty well. You shouldn’t beat yourself up over it.
The last I saw of the guy was when he hadn’t shown up for class for a month and a few of us showed up unannounced to see what was up. He was strung out beyond belief watching Maury and it was, no kidding, the first time all of it came together. Up to then, I legitimately hadn’t put 2 and 2 together. We tried to get him to come with us for… some reason. We didn’t really know what we were going to do but we knew he was better off with us than in that apartment.
We were unsuccessful. He moved back to Florida shortly after that and the rest is, excuse the expression, history.

Police in Wickenburg arrested a mother who allegedly assaulted three of her children who all had tested positive for COVID-19 and were not wearing masks, according to court documents.
Court docs say officers responded to the home on Dec. 26 when a caller stated Sarah Boone assaulted her children by hitting one in the face with an open hand, kicking another on the ground and picking up another child by their neck.
The caller said she did it because the children tested positive for coronavirus and weren’t wearing masks.
Police tell 12 News the children are between the ages of 5 and 14 years-old and they did not need to go to the hospital after the incident.
Police say Boone left the home after police were called and she was later found walking down a street.
When approached by officers, court docs say Boone did not respond to instructions and when officers tried to place her under arrest, she resisted, was taken to the ground, and was tased by officers.
I blame “news” media fear-mongering. Also this lady is insane.
All our basic rights and freedoms flow from a fidelity to the Constitution and the rule of law. This principle is not only fundamentally American but a central tenet of conservatism. Under our system, voters determine the president, and this self-governance cannot sustain itself if the whims of Congress replace the will of the people. I urge members to consider the precedent that it would set.
Efforts to reject the votes of the Electoral College and sow doubt about Joe Biden’s victory strike at the foundation of our republic. t is difficult to conceive of a more anti-democratic and anti-conservative act than a federal intervention to overturn the results of state-certified elections and disenfranchise millions of Americans. The fact that this effort will fail does not mean it will not do significant damage to American democracy.
The Trump campaign had ample opportunity to challenge election results, and those efforts failed from lack of evidence. The legal process was exhausted, and the results were decisively confirmed. The Department of Justice, too, found no basis for overturning the result. If states wish to reform their processes for future elections, that is their prerogative. But Joe Biden’s victory is entirely legitimate.
And to think I once defended your debate performance against Beijing Biden because, while you seemed like a sniveling weasel, you appeared to have your shit together and Biden was just being an ass the whole time.

Speaking of DC and NoVa I was able to avoid both by taking a more scenic route home from Harpers Ferry that did not join I95 until Fredericksburg. There was a bit of traffic between there and 295 (to be expected…) but nothing like the crap north of Fredericksburg and around DC when we were traveling to HF for our New Years getaway. It sucks that I trusted the gf to navigate without checking the route possibilities myself. Lesson learned.
That area is nice. If not for the proximity to DC, the concomitant insane housing prices, and the blueward drift of VA, we were seriously house hunting in the Warrenton area and points west.

It’s amazing that they were able to get pretty much everyone from the original cast 30-some-odd years ago to participate in it (except for Pat Morita, who would be 88 if he were alive today, but he’s not because of chronic alcoholism).
I can’t think of another iconic 80s movie that had such a “normal” cast. Nobody OD’ed or DUI’ed into a tree. They all went on to live normal lives and start families.

Ok, I read about FODMAP. Oof. I don’t think that’s for me. I’m supposed to get lots of legumes, and I can’t imagine eliminating onion, garlic, celery, etc.
I might break down and actually seek my doctor’s advice before I make a big change.
No! Not that!
Yeah, it’s not pleasant. I think it can be useful as an ‘eliminate then re-add’ process to find what particular foods are problematic. I know that for me, quantity matters; small(er) amounts are tolerated, big servings not.
I do miss onions, garlic, shallots, peas, pears, and apples.
Dammit, dead thread. Reposting:
Once upon a time, Alaskan Brewery did not distribute to Colorado, but they did distribute to Wyoming. I absolutely *needed* Alaskan Winter Ale in one cold November (2006 or 2007?). This was during my time in graduate school. Along with a fellow grad student who originated from Melbourne, Florida, I made a road trip to Cheyenne to load up on ~$300 worth of Alaskan beer; bear in mind that this is a not insignificant sum to a starving graduate student so I was very committed to obtaining this beer. It was well worth it not only for the fact that the beer was (and is) delicious, but I plied the desk clerk from my apartment complex with it into coitus. This is the only woman with whom I’ve engaged in vaginal intercourse that has better tits than Mrs. Q; slightly larger, comparable perkiness but significantly smaller areolae which I value highly. Her personality left much to be desired. I did later receive oral sex from a woman whose tits were as close to perfect I could imagine; if I could design tits in a lab, I could scarcely do better than them. That’s a different story though.
In any case, my road-trip compatriot dropped out for, at the time, unspecified reasons. I later found out that the reason he left was his heroin addiction which I found out later had claimed his life. To this day I wonder how I could be blind to his addiction. It was a fun road trip though and he introduced me to Dragonforce. So this is dedicated to him.

I once had a girlfriend whose boobs levitated. They seemingly defied gravity and she required no bra. It was like that Seinfeld episode, “They’re real and they’re spectacular.”
I was once informed that no bra was needed as long as a pencil put under the boob would fall to the ground. Thankfully, in the sheer blouse days, that “rule” was pretty much ignored.
Breasts and fucking women don’t fit this story.
Sorry about your compatriot.
I have a relative that beat a heroin addiction. I didn’t know what was going on until I received an e-mail from my relative which started out along the lines of “I’ve been lying about a lot of things.” My relative had been busted for buying heroin somewhere in Philly between when my relative signed up for rehab and rehab check-in day. Just one last fix you know.
The e-mail came a day or two after the arrest. The folks at the rehab center, after my relative told them what happened, told my relative to come clean to relatives/friends/anyone my relative lied to. My relative did that.
Looking back on things, I don’t know that I would have noticed what was really going on. Some people can hide things pretty well. You shouldn’t beat yourself up over it.
The last I saw of the guy was when he hadn’t shown up for class for a month and a few of us showed up unannounced to see what was up. He was strung out beyond belief watching Maury and it was, no kidding, the first time all of it came together. Up to then, I legitimately hadn’t put 2 and 2 together. We tried to get him to come with us for… some reason. We didn’t really know what we were going to do but we knew he was better off with us than in that apartment.
We were unsuccessful. He moved back to Florida shortly after that and the rest is, excuse the expression, history.
Sorry.

Hey Ford, fuck off with your #finishStrong bullshit!
I totally don’t know what that is all about, but it sounds like toxic masculinity, so I know it’s bad.
It refers to the virus.

They’re, like, “soon things will be back to normal!! YAY!”
I see no indications that anything will be back to normal.
Beyond that, I think the most noxious part is the implied “try harder and then this will all be over”
The religious overtones sicken me. (In general, not referring to this commercial that I haven’t seen.)

I’ll hold your hair back while you barf, and then you can do the same for me.
Is there really a receptive audience for that tripe?
“Is there really a receptive audience for that tripe?”
Yeah, there is. All the dead people and the other voters who cast their ballot for Biden at least 6 times.
Sure they will. The new normal. Where we tell you want to do and you obey.
Oh yeah…fucking hate those commercials.
Ford had gone off the deep end. Only thing I can’t figure out is whether they jumped or whether fedgov pushed them unwillingly.

Mother of the year.
Police in Wickenburg arrested a mother who allegedly assaulted three of her children who all had tested positive for COVID-19 and were not wearing masks, according to court documents.
Court docs say officers responded to the home on Dec. 26 when a caller stated Sarah Boone assaulted her children by hitting one in the face with an open hand, kicking another on the ground and picking up another child by their neck.
The caller said she did it because the children tested positive for coronavirus and weren’t wearing masks.
Police tell 12 News the children are between the ages of 5 and 14 years-old and they did not need to go to the hospital after the incident.
Police say Boone left the home after police were called and she was later found walking down a street.
When approached by officers, court docs say Boone did not respond to instructions and when officers tried to place her under arrest, she resisted, was taken to the ground, and was tased by officers.
I blame “news” media fear-mongering. Also this lady is insane.
Silly rabbit. Punishing people for not wearing masks and getting infected is the government’s job.

All our basic rights and freedoms flow from a fidelity to the Constitution and the rule of law. This principle is not only fundamentally American but a central tenet of conservatism. Under our system, voters determine the president, and this self-governance cannot sustain itself if the whims of Congress replace the will of the people. I urge members to consider the precedent that it would set.
Efforts to reject the votes of the Electoral College and sow doubt about Joe Biden’s victory strike at the foundation of our republic. t is difficult to conceive of a more anti-democratic and anti-conservative act than a federal intervention to overturn the results of state-certified elections and disenfranchise millions of Americans. The fact that this effort will fail does not mean it will not do significant damage to American democracy.
The Trump campaign had ample opportunity to challenge election results, and those efforts failed from lack of evidence. The legal process was exhausted, and the results were decisively confirmed. The Department of Justice, too, found no basis for overturning the result. If states wish to reform their processes for future elections, that is their prerogative. But Joe Biden’s victory is entirely legitimate.
And to think I once defended your debate performance against Beijing Biden because, while you seemed like a sniveling weasel, you appeared to have your shit together and Biden was just being an ass the whole time.
Suck donkey cock, Eddie Munster.

/the girlfriend is talking to her aunt about the NFL playoffs.
Last night I discovered the lost first season of Somebody Feed Phil, a PBS version called I’ll Have What Phil’s Having. It’s the exact same show.
It made me wonder about Netflix’s model. The Last Kingdom started as a BBC series and then became a Netflix series. So do they find good content and then buy the rights to put it on their platform?
The fact that the Phil series are identical also made me wonder whether he controls the rights and just licences them.

Man, the NFL.
That Raiders/Donks game, the Raiders really stunk it up. Carr looked off from the beginning.
That being said. That is one of the worst officiated games I have ever seen. All one sided. It’s excusable when they do it once or twice, which they do EVERY game, but it is not excusable when you continue do do it then entire game to the point it is obvious.
The Raiders should sue the NFL over that this and not one official on that football field tonight should ever be allowed to work in the NFL ever again.
Of course because it was a meaningless game, it won’t happen, but it SHOULD happen.
NFL refs have become emboldened by watching how easily elections are stolen with no repercussions.
Screw the Raiders.

LOL. I guess all the leftist violence occurring in cities around the country is just a figment of my imagination.
No kidding. None of this on the left?
“ The ADL notes that, while not a white supremacist organization itself, some of its leaders have engaged in racist and anti-Semitic rhetoric.”
When “extreme” is a relative term and you define any political disagreement as “extremism”…
Speaking of DC and NoVa I was able to avoid both by taking a more scenic route home from Harpers Ferry that did not join I95 until Fredericksburg. There was a bit of traffic between there and 295 (to be expected…) but nothing like the crap north of Fredericksburg and around DC when we were traveling to HF for our New Years getaway. It sucks that I trusted the gf to navigate without checking the route possibilities myself. Lesson learned.
That area is nice. If not for the proximity to DC, the concomitant insane housing prices, and the blueward drift of VA, we were seriously house hunting in the Warrenton area and points west.
They can’t even keep their narratives straight.
Wait a sec.. I thought such groups were widespread and pervasive. Next you’ll be telling me systemic racism is isolated…

Watched Natalie Portman’s V for Vendetta last night. Fearing a conservative Christian dystopia at this point in Western history is comical.
I just watched that and just for her
Amazing how there is no way Hollywood would ever make a pro free market anarchist movie today. Instead we get these “Pat Robertson is taking over the world” propaganda flicks.
Fifteen years ago. In the middle of the Bush II administration.
The Reagan/Bush years (with the Moral Majority) were not that distant in the past.
Still a buffoonish representation of the Christian-right. But the movie was quite good from what I can remember.
Sure. Hated the Christian Right (populists) back in the 80’s. Today, they are more likely to be the purged more than the purgers.
Why? She’s a bad actress and a Hollywood 6.
From the back I’d give her a 9.
I thought she was very good in Beautiful Girls but that’s the only movie I’ve seen her in so WTF do I know.
To each their own I guess? Or is that against the pure libertarian code,

My first time making some sushi rolls. Rice was right consistency but felt bland…straff? Some help?
I don’t make sushi. Sorry. Did you use the right vinegar?
I think. I might have skimped on the amount added though.
I believe this is still available on Hulu.
Jiro Dreams of Sushi – Trailer
Jiro is a great film. It’s a lot darker than it seems at first sight.
As I mentioned below, I don’t like sushi, but I enjoyed the film. If you are a foodie and especially if you like sushi it’s highly recommended.
It really is very layered. It’s a very human story and presented in a very neutral manner. I’ve watched it multiple times.
Try the vinegar with the Kombu dashi. Adds a little flavor. Next time, eh.
Funny enough I don’t like it, but naturally everyone thinks I must.
Ownbestenemy – In addition to the rice wine vinegar straff mentioned did you “dry” it too? Also, you need to make sure you don’t mash it too much either. Naturally all my friends here love it and also make it at home. Sigh…
I might have pressed them too much. Thanks for the hulu link.
I felt for first time and for a special dinner for one of the teens it wasn’t bad.

First hit on my news feed. I’ve got so many ad and script blockers installed I forgot what POS that site is.
The makeup artists were wearing face masks all the time. But Bieber was without one throughout.
Gerry’s dead too.
And it was his heart that killed him.
Hey that was a big movie in our family when my brother and I were teens. The number of times we watched it on TBS / TNT was in double digits. I’ve passed along the tragic news.
Crap. She was hot as a pistol.
I went through all of Season 3 of Cobra Kai in 2 days.
It’s amazing that they were able to get pretty much everyone from the original cast 30-some-odd years ago to participate in it (except for Pat Morita, who would be 88 if he were alive today, but he’s not because of chronic alcoholism).
I can’t think of another iconic 80s movie that had such a “normal” cast. Nobody OD’ed or DUI’ed into a tree. They all went on to live normal lives and start families.
I’m trying to think of another movie that even comes close to that. Maybe Back to the Future, but Crispin Glover is hardly “normal”.

Iggles fans advised to stay out of NYC; maybe be welcomed in D.C. land.
Did anyone seriously think the Iggles had a chance? Holy mackerel, they sucked.
The “Redskins” seemed pretty disinterested for a team fighting for the playoffs. Yes, Iggles kick the tying field goal, then leave Hurts in to see if he can engineer a comeback win and answer something about next year’s quarterback decision. Lots of Iggles fans hope Coach Pederson is gone by Tuesday, and Wentz by April 1st.

Great, so it will be as awful as an awards show.

It was erected to create jobs. You don’t hate jobs do you?

Good news.
Indeed. I’ve already started cleaning up messes that popped up over the long weekend.
I have to post a payroll that includes two holidays and two half-days (the “eves”) for which anyone who worked from scheduled start to noon close will get paid for a full day – which supervisors invariably enter incorrectly in the timekeeping system. And I have to dive into month-, quarter-, and year-end reports. And after payroll posts, I have to enter everyone’s pay raises before the next payroll, when they go into effect.
I’m not fond of January at my job.
I never envied the timekeeper their job. At my company it seems to consist of rip the employees off just enough that they don’t burn the company down. I fudge when I can just to retain a semblance of Manhood.
Stay sane.
It would be more interesting if Lady Red started adding and subtracting zeros at random, though.
Except this is a bad time for the employment consequences.
I hired a new* guy last week!
*Sort of new. He worked for us as a temp a couple years ago.
Thanks for giving me the benefit of the doubt. ; )
I hear you from Saturday. It was a bear. Yesterday was surprisingly easy. Gonna snow today and make everything the worst again.
