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.

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.

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.

Stop acknowledging that there is any nuance whatsoever wrt the invasion of ukraine, you’re scaring the libs.

edit: self determination? never heard of it. Surely it can’t be that both sides suck (unequally) because neither cares what the actual inhabitants of the disputed territory want. Russia is ontologically evil so if you identify as russian you don’t deserve rights.

If the dispute was reversed the libs would be cheering for the brave Ukrainian separatist fighters and the liberatory Ukrainian invasion.

But really, who cares. Landfills are a negligible amount of land usage and land used for them can be repurposed after closing the landfill. As long as you bury it enough to keep it out of the biosphere the environmental impact of not recycling is negligible. Recycling is preferable for lowering resource extraction sure but as long as its still more resource efficient than a gas car that’s irrelevant.

To me this is the same as oil industry propaganda over wind turbine blades not being recyclable, like oh no it’ll occupy a few cubic yards of a landfill in 15 years, better build a new coal/gas plant instead.

folding it into a triangle before burning is the respectful way of disposing of at least the US flag. Just stuff it in the barrel and add lighter fluid.

Go back to reddit, prion brained dipshit.

Beans and lentils are cheaper protein, you buy meat because you prefer the taste. That’s a type of entertainment.

You realize that’s newsworthy precisely because it’s uncommon right?

I don’t think you know what that word means.
