  • When you were living with your parents, how often would they go through your personal space? (aka; enter your room, search your drawers, your backpack, your electronic devices, etc...) Is this normal?

  • Haha, nah, that would have resulted in actual murder. I became homeless voluntarily because I thought he was going to snap and kill me one day.

  • He never did, and he always blamed me for his inability to wait. Either I'd get in trouble for flushing and changing his water temperature, or I'd get in trouble for not flushing and stinking up the bathroom.

  • Man, I didn't even get privacy on the toilet. If I was taking a shit, and dad wanted a shower, he'd just open the door and go take a shower.

  • Why does beer keep getting singled out when red wine and bourbon produce similar effects?

    Edit: Also a bit peeved, because I've got hashimotos and talked to a dietician about diet affecting my hormone troubles, and they assured me plant hormones didn't have an effect on humans.

  • The second link says it affects estrogen levels though, which is why I'm confused.

    Is this new research?

    Edit: the corroborating link the article provides doesn't really show much about how the study was conducted

    Editedit: found what they were citing, but it's from the 90s, so it's very much not new, and it doesn't actually support what the article is claiming.

    The studies described in the previous sections strongly support the hypothesis that congeners present in alcoholic beverages can produce measurable estrogenic effects, even at moderate drinking levels. Specifically, those studies found the following:

    • Alcoholic beverage congeners exerted estrogenic effects both in an experimental animal model and in post-menopausal women.
    • The estrogenic effects of alcoholic beverage congeners were detectable using a variety of estrogenic markers, including the pituitary hormones LH (in OVEX rats and postmenopausal women), FSH, and prolactin (in postmenopausal women); uterus weight (in OVEX rats); and the estrogen-responsive liver proteins HDL cholesterol and SHBG (in postmenopausal women).
    • In both the experimental animals and the postmenopausal women, the changes in the levels of all estrogenic markers were consistent with the presence of biologically active phytoestrogens in the congeners.
    • Red wine congeners and bourbon congeners produced similar estrogenic effects in experimental animals and in postmenopausal women.

  • I thought phytoestrogens didn't affect humans?

  • It's a good book, I highly recommend reading it.

  • I vacuumed up a stink bug a few days ago and now I when I turn on the vacuum the stink comes out

  • No worries, tons of people don't know there's invasive ones!

  • My preferred option – catch them gently and take them outside alive – runs the risk that they’ll just find their way inside again

    Just make sure they're not the invasive ones. I keep my old pill bottles, so the invasive stink bugs get sealed in a bottle and go in the freezer to kill them quickly without stinking the place up. Native bugs get released tho.

  • I had both grandparents, my stepfather, and my cat all die within a year and a half, then got fired because my performance started slipping.

    I can't spend thousands of dollars to grieve, I have to suck it up and be a better robot. There is no other option for me.

  • How do you successfully maintain a calorie deficit over the long run?

    Jump

  • I've had bloodwork, stool samples, xray, CT, and upper/lower scope. I've got a hernia, and some intestinal ulcers, but insurance won't approve the meds, so I'm still looking for a diagnosis they like.

    It's also likely to have an element of autonomic dysfunction too, since they've found bone spurs in my neck that are pushing on my spinal cord, but there's not much I can do about that. It's possible that overusing painkillers for my neck is whats causing the ulcers.

  • Okay, but that's just a preference. What about stuff like lactose intolerance, where it's not an allergy, but it still makes somebody feel sick?

    If you knew a food made you sick, I could understand saying it was a milk allergy to make sure people actually knew it made you sick, even though that's not the truth.

  • I was looking for some local jam to gift for christmas, but it was all from out of state. I wound up going to the orchard itself and found some apple brandy jam, and a hazelnut spread.
