But is it strong enough to make a space elevator?

This is a conspiracy theory, not unlike the theories you will hear on the right. I've never heard anyone on the right equate soy with Asian or other cultures.

[-] number6@feddit.nl 2 points 1 year ago

This itself is a conspiracy theory. I've known a lot of right-wing people, and none of them made a connection between Soy and Asian cuisine. They don't like tofu, in particular, because they didn't grow up with it and see it as some weird, hippy thing.

I have a folding bike that was originally meant to be part of a Marlsboro rewards program. Apparently smokers weren't all that interested in exercise. Who knew?

[-] number6@feddit.nl 2 points 1 year ago

Most of the smokers I've known don't even get close to 80, and are often very sickly when they do. Two family members that didn't make it to 60. A healthy looking co-worker who dropped dead in the parking lot. A former boss who didn't get to enjoy more than two years retirement.

Cigarettes are the only consumer product that, when used as directed, kill their consumers.

How are they for coming off ? The various reinforced tires I've tried (randoneur, gator, 25mm) are really hard to put back on. Like you peel the skin off your hands trying. I've notice that most tires, even cheaper ones, don't give you trouble for the first 500 miles. So have gone back to a medium grade tire that doesn't require special tools to replace.

I'm sceptical. That would be an extremely unethical test. And it would only prove that too much of something can kill you. Did you know that people can even die from drinking too much water?

I made my own app, and tracked calories, carbs, fiber, and potassium. I used data from USDA. What I found was that it was almost impossible to get the recommended amount of potassium unless you ate nothing but green leafy vegetables, or massively over-eat.

Studies done on people under 45, almost certainly.

An egg a day instead of a multi-vitamin? And then you get high cholesterol.

[-] number6@feddit.nl 1 points 1 year ago

I think multi-vitamins are more important as you get older. Your body simply doesn't absorb as much of the vitamins in food as it does when you're younger. So all that advice "Just eat a healthy diet" isn't quite as true.
