Re: The food and drink thread

Don't they interact with alcohol, though? That alone would convince me to just eat less salt. :ph34r: I don't think so. I know a couple of guys on bp meds and they still drink without issues. Also, I think going low sodium will only reduce one's blood pressure by 8-10 points or so, which is not eno...

Re: What's going on in your city/country/region?

Trump seems to be going on in every country these days. Unfortunately for me, he has revitalized the fortunes of the incompetent Liberal Party of Canada. *sigh* Minimum of four more years of socialist economic decline for Canada. At least wretched Trudeau is out the door (for now). Have to take sola...

Re: The food and drink thread

I guess there are also a few conditions that could contribute to blood pressure, beyond salt consumption, and maybe tackling those things at the same time could allow you to use at least a bit of salt. Some things just aren't going to work without it, IMO. I'm no longer going zero-salt with pizza b...

Re: Apologies for downtime

Same here. Getting: net::ERR_CERT_DATE_INVALID which leads to having to click again to proceed to this potentially unsafe site ;)

However, if this is the price to pay for decent response time, it's probably the lesser of two evils.

Re: Science Microthreads

I'm still confused. People get sedated for all sorts of very invasive medical procedures and very rarely wake up during them. And in those instances, doctors have to be careful not to over sedate someone lest that kills them. It should be easy to sedate someone so heavily you could shoot them in the...

Re: Science Microthreads

Is there some reason they can't just sedate you before they apply the final solution? Like you need to be aware of your impending demise? Seems stupid if so. Just put the individual under then do them in however. Overdose of morphine like they do for animals for example.

Re: The food and drink thread

I went through a few different stages with salt. I used to not add it to anything. That was in the mid 80s when I was using paper packets of mixed grains called Kashi. They may still make it. It tasted pretty bad with no salt. Not long before or after that I was using kosher salt (no iodine) becaus...

Re: What's going on in your city/country/region?

Mainly Trump is wreaking havoc. People need to chill out about his everyday crazy though. Politically, just smile and nod, and wait for his attention to turn to his next inane scheme. I think his narcissistic personality disorder just makes him compelled to create outrage on a daily basis. A terribl...

Well, at least it's being responsive for the time being.

Slow again (assuming this posts).
