Your pan is too hot! oozing cheese that crisps up on the sides is *chefs kiss*

When I was in highschool my mother left a pot of stock simmering and went to work, except instead of leaving it on low she left it on high. I came home to a smoke filled apartment, and the pot was full of chicken bone shaped black carbon. As I grabbed the handle and brought it toward the sink molten metal poured out of the heavy base into the sink. It was scary and I’m grateful I wasn’t severely burned and that our place didn’t burn down!

I read your whole site and find it very inspiring. My wife spent six months in Ghana when she was 18 and had a very life changing experience. I hope to visit some day and will definitely reach out if I do.

Though I had a successful career as a software developer in the nonprofit space, my current interests and expertise are in meditation practices and psycho-spiritual integration. My theory is that the way to a better world is through healing our traumas, personal, collective, and intergenerational.

Me three, and I supported the original games kickstarter and loved it.

Overeating, drug addiction, even workaholism and endless accumulation of wealth are all maladaptive coping mechanisms due to unintegrated trauma.

Dark meditation retreats are common in Tibetan Buddhism. The birthing canal metaphor is also extremely common in ritual ceremonies.

Stomach acid doesn’t kill all bacteria or pathogens. That’s how I got whipworm, roundworm, E. coli and giardia from food in India. Some bacteria may be more or less susceptible to the stomach environment. It looks like tests have shown some probiotics do tend to survive the stomach.

It was Seed. Feel free to read the studies they’ve done and draw your own conclusions on the effectiveness of their double capsule. I only have my own experience and that of my nephew that Seed has helped both of us recover from debilitating symptoms that were not addressed by fermented foods or other probiotics.

I appreciate you sharing this information. What you’ve shared seems accurate to our current scientific consensus. You’re right that some probiotics and pathogens survive the stomach.

Honestly I did my best to research my condition but my mind was functioning quite poorly at the time and most doctors were of no help. Once I got better I may have drawn an inaccurate conclusion as to why the prior probiotics I had taken hadn’t helped whereas this one (Seed) worked so miraculously. It could simply be that the strains in that particular probiotic helped rebalance things for me whereas everything I had tried prior were not what I needed. Maybe those particular strains my gut was needing don’t survive the stomach environment well.

The probiotic that resolved my symptoms almost certainly was not placebo. That I was lucky I can agree with.

I’m sorry you’re still trying to heal your gut despite your thorough knowledge and FMT. It’s been a few years I’ve felt mostly better but I still don’t have the energy levels I did.

Antibiotics are miraculous but not a panacea and are definitely overprescribed and used unjudiciously in livestock.

I wish you the best on your healing journey. Thanks for sharing good information.

Stomach acid is meant to kill anything, whether it’s a pathogen or beneficial probiotic. Yogurt’s probiotics shouldn’t survive the stomach if all is going well.

I had severe gut dysfunction due to multiple parasites and pathogens from spending a year in India. I had dysbiosis, IBS-C and SIBO all diagnosed, and for five years I developed a debilitating autoimmune condition that made eating nearly impossible without intense systemic inflammation, brain fog, body pain, etc.

In addition to multiple pill based probiotics I did literally every home fermentation project I could figure out; kraut, kimchi, yogurt, kefir, etc. None of them helped one bit. I eventually took a double capsule probiotic designed to survive the stomach intact and open in the small intestine and my symptoms were mostly resolved within a week.

I wish this was more common knowledge. We are just starting to understand how crucial gut health is to overall health, including mental health, and basically everyone gets their gut biome carpet bombed with antibiotics on the regular.

I got mine two days ago. That evening I was tired and sore and felt slightly feverish. Felt better the next day.

I love your posts and always get excited when I see a new one. Interesting, funny, irreverent, and just right up my alley in every way. I’ve bought a couple Ganzo knives based on your reviews, so thanks for that too! I’m curious what some of your favorite knives are from a quality/price ratio, and what your most used knives are.

I’ve been wanting a cosy rpg or action rpg that’s easy to pick up and play in shorter steam deck bursts. This looks perfect! I’m open to any other suggestions people may have.

For $40 more I agree. I got the 64gb version when it came out and upgraded the SSD immediately. A 1tb 2230 SSD is $75.

Long European radishes are mild, the round American ones are quite spicy, like mustard or horse_radish_.
