I had the same curiosity as you but realized there can’t possibly be any long term studies because this class is new, and very new for weight loss. I just searched for the longest term study for the class.

Alcojet has bleach. Adding phosphates to dishwasher powder ends up at the same place except my generic Target powder has sodium percarbonate (oxyclean) instead of chlorine. Alcojet uses a shit ton of STPP, MSDS says 25-41% by weight. I h

Sodium triphosphate. It surrounds the Mg/Ca ions so they can’t transform the soap to soap scum which makes glasses cloudy and wastes soap.

They are all made from some type of oil/fat. Things with sulfate at the end of the ingredient don’t form soap scum, but classic soap made with fat and lye produce a salt of a fatty acid which combines with hard water to make soap scum

I was curious, and found the ingredients for a 1992 bar of zest from an eBay photo. It was a mix of soap with the detergent sodium cocoglyceryl ether sulfonate. The current recipe is all soap but they added a couple of chelating agents: Pe

The forced reeducation prisons were built after I was there. I did spend some time talking to locals, and they were justifiably paranoid. There had been some recent terrorism and they sensed blowback was coming to ordinary citizens. There w

Thanks for the article and I read the paper. I know people have been working on it for ages, but it is nice to see some promising results. One huge problem with the article is this line: > The plants are also 16% to 18% more efficient a

I have worked on a corn seed farm detassling odd rows of corn. It is every other row for seed hybridization. The rows were marked, but it was pretty obvious because the two heirloom varieties were distinct. If there were more that two va

It makes perfect sense from a biological perspective. I am not aware of any transgenic methods to increase yield as that is done through breeding and hybridization. Do you know of a specific seed that has enhanced yields through a crisper

I think they are really this ignorant. The tech suburbanite ideas about farming are insane. Vertical farming is just one of the cringy ideas. Farm underneath solar panels instead of putting the panels on one side of the farm, monocropping

GMO yields are actually lower than non-GMO in ideal conditions. The savings come in other ways, such as no manual weeding with glyphosate resistance (or higher yields compared to letting the weeds rob NPK), or less insecticide use and spra

The government isn’t interfering with the factors of production. The healthcare system has market based incentives. The Chinese system is no money means no western healthcare. Western healthcare didn’t really exist in China until the 90s.

Progressive taxation and subsidies are completely within the realm of capitalism. It is regulation and government provision of services that push the system outside the competition benefits of capitalism. The Chinese system is straight up

I ended up in a hospital in Urumqi China. It was the most capitalist thing I have ever experienced. You put money on a card and pay for services individually… the nurses all had a card reader. $35 for a CT, $6 IV penicillin, (repeat 6 tim

Eating raw leafy greens is a hyper modern addition to human diets. If you want a $20 kale salad, go for it, but let’s not pretend eating uncooked nutritionally devoid foods is somehow necessary or historical.

The timing chain is splash lubricated and at idle there isn’t enough oil pressure to produce much splash. The high polish reduces friction particularly when there is little oil.

I worked at the engine plant in the early 2000s that made the 4.6l v8 that was in Crown Victoria for cop cars and cabs. The cop/cab version of the engine was different in that it had a highly polished timing chain for exactly this rea

Covid was the biggest bail reform experiment in history. Typically for any non-violent crime in the US, people get ROR'd (released on own recognizance) so long as they don't have any outstanding warrants. Bail is for people that

In my experience, pretty much everyone without a record, or has always shown up for court gets ROR’d (released on own recognizance) for non violent crimes. The people that get screwed are the ones that skip court dates and then get caught

Bail doesn't work that way at this scale. His parents put up the deed to their house, and a couple of really rich friends showed that they have $250 million in assets and agreed to let the government seize them if SBF doesn't sho

Ideas such as spend $800k on parking lot shade structures and then attach $200k of solar are inferior compared to buying some pasture land for $4000 and installing $996k of solar panels. Are we trying to solve CO2 emissions or is it more i

Nice comparison. Trabucco resigned in August but Caroline was on record saying he hadn’t been around for months. Some Alameda loans were called in May, and that is when SBF and Caroline did some obviously shady stuff. I think that is when

I suspect she had some involvement with the campaign contributions which SBF is facing charges. My guess is it details some facts about her involvement, and then says she won’t be charged assuming major new facts don’t emerge.
