We had cases of 24 (48 total options split across box A and B) MREs and we would basically do a gradeschool line up and just pass them out one by one. The soldiers had to sign a sheet saying they got food and weren't going to starve. After everyone got one, the trading would commence and sometimes auctioning of certain coveted goods.

It's not ... but whatever makes you happy. The body literally shuts down after too long on eating just the MREs. There's a reason most citations will say only eat for 21 days before rotating to something new. They're actually bad for you. Unless the textbooks are filled with poor information, the preservatives in the MREs will cause the body to shut down after about 70 days. It's not magic woo-woo but life and death. MREs are sustainable food source for short periods, not long.

Preservatives that shutdown your body sounds like a toxin to me, if that isn't idk what is. The liver can only do so much and MREs compound them faster than it can process; ultimately causing death. If you stop adding the toxic chemicals to your body, the liver and kidneys can catch up and filter them out. It's not that mind blowing; MREs contain toxic chemicals that kill you when too much is built up in your body. It's not some "toxin" buzzword but literally something that'll end your life.

Yeah they're brutal on the gut. There's rumors the "gum" is actually a laxative and chewing it will help you pass the MRE. One of my buddies wouldn't poop for days at a time when we'd go mostly MREs for sustenance. Maybe once every 4 or 5 days; but after getting back on normal food he'd have a solid hour or two bathroom break emptying everything.

It allows your body to actually flush out toxins because you aren't adding more. It's not a "detox" that health influencers put it but that's the easiest way to describe it. Your body does the work but you aren't actively adding more so it can flush itself. It's helping cleanse your body by not adding more and not overwhelming the systems. Your liver and kidneys can actually process and eliminate the chemicals.

From my AIT regiment for culinary; we learned that ~70 days of straight MREs will shut down the body due to the preservatives in them. Fresh food must be mixed in for your body to function. We often did fresh breakfast, mre lunch, fresh dinner. They're useful but also dangerous. If someone was on MREs for 50-60 days straight, we had to feed them fresh food for at least 3 weeks for every meal to help the body flush the preservatives.

Yeah, the Jerry springer episode is different from this article. I was just trying to expound upon some of the details of how you can get half sibling fraternal twins.

Yup, fraternal twins are two different zygotes. Basically while having fraternal twins, two different fathers can donate and fertilize an egg and have biologically different twins.

I took the long route of 4 x 9 = 36 - 10 = 26 + 2 = 28 x 25 = 700 - 5 = 695. I see now there's multiple easier ways...

Real IDs work for this but if you're in a state like my state of Missouri, over half (close to 60-65%) don't have real IDs (I'm guilty of it) and I can gaurentee most of the residents don't have a passport either. They've never traveled and haven't really had a need to get a passport. I luckily had to get one for an Alaskan Cruise since we stopped in Canada but most of my coworkers have neither passport nor real ID. All the wives are packing IDs, BCs, and marriage liscences just to vote...

Supporting problem solving can help keep their mind sharp. Though some may need some assistance more than others...

#30 Costco often has an 18 pack of alani/Celsius for 16-22$ @ roughly 1$ the cost of energy drinks is definitely not the reason I can't buy a house...

The GFCI protection is supposed to trip when it detects an imbalanced load on the neutral (which grounding out causes). Most of them react within 2-6 milliseconds but that can be too slow sometimes unfortunately. As for locations, A good chunk of the world has the safety devices at the main panel, America usually has them more local.

They're hard wired in. The daisy chain will come from a nearby box with power and go directly into the connection point of the toilet through specified chases. Less points of failure, less exposure, and overall safer.

Restrict things a bit more liberally but that isn't necessarily a bad thing. Being safer, like with OSHA in construction sites, is typically better. The fact that GMOs are listed even as a potential "hazard" throws this whole graphic and point into misinformation category since they are *extremely* safe and have helped increase nutrients in food while also decreasing the investment into them.

#7 I know hank green isn't the end all resource but imo he's a good one to listen to and he had talked about how this is misinformation. Many chemicals are found in manufactured materials and normal everyday food. Cellulose is one big fear pushed about bread because it's "found in wood" but it's just a part of wood structure. It's found in a lot of organic structures and means nothing. It's to push fear and doubt on products completely safe. GMOs are safe, many things are safe. The EU does/

I agree for the most part. Only issue I have is the adult part. Young kids and teens have the capacity and understanding what they feel even if they can't articulate it quite yet. A Trans adult didn't overnight think they were Trans. There are prefferences and feelings from a young age that develop but are often suppressed or ignored for "normality".

I think Japan is doing something like this already. They have a walking buddy system and it's supposed to help with social anxiety or make the commute more enjoyable.

Apparently many cans will tell you to stir that juice back into the tuna as a step to it it; it's supposedly most of the fish oil nutrients. That probably is a great treat to give them.

And yet the MAHA movement making steak and shake use Beef Tallow was a huge win? That is literally getting more saturated fats into your diet...

Maybe this is just ignorance, but why not closer to body temperature? I've heard that the body needs to heat up the water before it can utilize it; so why is room temp preffered over body temp or like 90° (F)?

I thought there was an interview with Steve Bannon that they don't think Trump has much longer (due to health). It maybe a more accurate modifier than we think. He was concerned if Trump doesn't make it through the midterms and democrats won; no one would be able to preserve all the "work" they've achieved in remolding the government.

Project 2025 wants everyone in the government a republican loyalist. They are trying everything to vacate the seats for these loyalists.

I think you still do it but you may need to full body wiggle and then lay across it to not go down. More surface area the better when going across the top of it. Similar idea to a polar bear across ice; the more surface area it traverses the less likely it'll be able to break through the surface.

That honestly shouldn't matter, it may take you longer to get out if you need to catch your breath more but as you wiggle it should create voids that the sand flows into and slowly eases you up to the top. It's about being slow and steady.

Bush Stadium used to pass out all the hot food to the homeless after games and one guy got food poisoning from it. They sued, won and now Bush stopped passing out the remaining food because of it. It was such a great program and the rate someone got sick was as often or less than a normal restaurant. It's such a shame that it just gets dumped (sometimes purposefully tainted while being dumped) so no one can risk getting sick.

For me Gas is down .20 and eggs are down 2$/dozen which is nice but everything else I've noticed is .25-1$ more per item; ground beef is up by 1.50/lb. Basically 100$/biweekly to 130$. Being in a red state it's going to get even worse if we lose the support of blue states. They should pull out taxes; maybe our dumbass "leaders" will see how screwed we ate without these giver states.

The Heritage Foundation elected him to use him and his cult to push their agenda. He wasn't going to read a 700+ play playbook; he just wanted to be president to feed his own ego and then he and his family could profit off being in office again. Probably abusing their spot for even more money than last time. He doesn't care what agendas are pushed if he's told they're necessary. He just wants the praise and adoration. The only reason he may care is that it may make him look less appealing.
