You fall into gravity wells, they don’t suck you.

Best way to understand is to get the mental image of spacetime as a 3d sheet like grid, where each object pushes down on it and creates a pit, or well. The bigger the object the deeper the well, and the more force you will need to stop yourself from sliding towards the object and propelling yourself back up the slope.

Might be Brodie’s?

This is an excellent summary of something I’ve failed to explain to younger folks. Thank you.

Wow. In Canada you cannot get prescription renewals any other way

I’d rather use SMS than sign my rights over to Meta. They can use that if they can use facebook or whatsapp.

I just don’t communicate with anyone that insists on using products that have user agreements I don’t agree with. The amount of bullshit user agreements are getting overloaded with makes them dangerous legal contracts that can have serious implications on your rights. Just ask the family whose daughter died at a Disney theme park and when they tried to sue Disney tried to force them to arbitration because their son had tried Disney+

I guess you could always try this hype… https://fodzyme.com/

I can empathize. I left it for so long my medical health dictated I do it or I don’t work… so. There’s that.

As @Corkyskog@sh.itjust.works brought up in his comment, the FODMAP umbrella is huge and everyone is a bit different. Its a process of removing them all and then adding things back slowly and carefully, trying them multiple times to see and test your tolerances. Also, white onion and the white parts of green onions and leeks are bad, but the green parts are ok and much lower in fodmap, so you can get onion flavour other ways. Green pepper is another one that can be combined to give this flavour with a lower fodmap footprint.

Yep. I found I could handle the little bit of blackened onion required for making Pho broth, but a traditional french mire poix 50/25/25 mix of onion/celery/carrot is far too much and we needed to get creative with green onion and leek in place of white onion and celery. Generally we use asian broths and soups more now. I cannot have my favoured sauteed mushrooms anymore but some mushroom based umami bomb in a soup or on a piece of meat is ok in small doses, and I can handle some tomato sauce once or twice a month, but not with onion in it, and no more pizza.

Unless you are celiac, its likely FODMAPs your body hates. There is a correllation between the amount of gluten and FODMAPs in food that makes watching gluten get part of the picture, but you’re missing the whole picture and thus likely not completely regular yet. FODMAPs are in most things. Onions are concentrated FODMAPs and so is tomato sauce.

My doc gave me this initially https://www.ibsdiets.org/fodmap-diet/fodmap-diet-chart/ but there are others you should cross reference for more food item coverage.

I have to admit. Onions, garlic and mushrooms were haaaaard to remove. Ive turned to Miso and a lot of japanese and thai food with the onions removed from any recipes to get this right.

But now I’m down from 5 poops to 1 poop a day.

What a horrible day to have eyes.

But they are still rare in terms of number of virus bodies generated daily by viral reproduction multiplied by number of infections.

If they weren’t rare, these infections would get deadly mutations in hours, not weeks or months.

America Ignorant, selfish pricks, stopped using headphones.

Let’s be real. You have to be pretty self absorbed to not realize how ignorant it is to walk around playing your music out loud or having a conversation on speakerphone instead of putting the damn phone to your ear.

And its not just flights. Its busses, restaurants, waiting rooms, forest trails.

Hmm, interesting. Looking it up on Wikipedia it seems the entomology of the term is a bit of a grey area.

My definition is what I heard growing up, admittedly this is one of those things I never bothered to read about.

Boxing day was named for being the day that everyone got rid of their boxes from Christmas. Its a holiday the day after Christmas and usually involves lots of store sales.

It’s kind of like Canada’s gentler version of Black Friday.

In my experience, the same fake albums show up on Deezer as Spotify. Frankly, I think the best way is Bandcamp. For for an album, download it forever. Stop paying to listen to the same music over and over and get DRM free tracks you can listen to your way while giving the money to the artists selling their albums directly.
