I just recently found out about fiddleheads... (just in time)

They can kill quickly, but it takes a couple of decades for that sudden cardiac arrest to kick in.

>"...and then had symptoms of mild iodine toxicity...."

I'm careful about that one, too. Not getting enough iodine can be an issue, too, for some people. I don't use iodized salt so I supplement with a tablespoon full of seaweed once a week. But no more than that!

My thyroid thanks me. 😆

OMG! I think I've done that before.

Why does that upset you?

The Department of Energy says they think SARS-CoV-2 escaped from a lab.

I think I'm going to wait to hear what the Postal Department says about it before I make up my mind...

@SpinozasHeresy

The DOE (aka the oil industry) are the same folks who said that Iraq had weapons of mass destruction and got us into that war under a false pretense. It's the same thing this time... long war with <fill in the blank> and sell a bunch of weapons and take a bunch of oil off the market in the meantime to drive up gas prices and fuck the poor.

@Lunatech

I wasn't following you anyway, so I guess it's not a problem. Let us know how it works out. :ablobsmilehappy:

@gricka

>"Bill banning vaccinated blood donations would ‘decimate’ blood supply, opponents say – Daily Montanan"

How about a bill requiring GOP blood? (sarcasm)

@freemo

Yeah, and potatoes have another issue, solanine, which often turns up in potatoes and is harmful (poisonous). If you eat too many they can make you feel sick and give you a headache.
Almonds are a good source and a good source of "good" fats (omega-6 fatty acid). But it's difficult to have the will power to only eat a few. 🙂

@freemo

Potatoes and bananas for potassium, but the bananas have a lot glucose.

Quote from wikipedia...

"The United States Department of Agriculture lists tomato paste, orange juice, beet greens, white beans, potatoes, plantains, bananas, apricots, and many other dietary sources of potassium, ranked in descending order according to potassium content. A day's worth of potassium is in 5 plantains or 11 bananas."

@freemo

Yeah, the iron issue is mostly for folks who have pre-existing cardio problems. You might want to eat a wide variety of greens -- kale, broccoli, cabbage, etc.

If you cook em and put a sauce on them, you can palate just about any veggie.

Muting @mapto for not responding to toots.

(Probably a bot)

@freemo

I was going to say that you need to watch out for iron O.D. with the spinach, especially for folks with heart disease...

@Deglassco

>"Looks like to me they have been given more than their share of free speech."

Yeah, the media oligopoly is a huge problem. I haven't watched Fox in ages and now I avoid most mainstream media as much as I can.

@cweickhmann

>"Did you know that the Roman empire collapsed because emperor Vespasian banned free curbside parking and made car parking paid?"

I thought it was because Vespasian was heavily subsidizing putt-putt cars and impeding the transition to electric cars by banning charging stations near pubic marketplaces.

@lupyuen

I don't think this is a "scam". Unless he lied to his customers or committed fraud somehow, it's not a scam. People make foolish purchases all the time. In fact, I think most businesses are built on selling stuff to people that they don't know how to create themselves, or don't have the time/resources to do themselves.

(TLDR; so maybe there's something else here that I'm not aware of.)

@mapto

That's awful. Why are they doing that.

@freemo

But we don't get the pleasure of all those dozens of pop-up ads, forever load times, and hundreds of cookies dumped on our system... (sarcasm)

Thank you , Jeff, for the tip.

🙂
