I used to love this as a kid.

Now as an adult, I found a fun substitute. Slice some cucumber. Then add cinnamon, salt, and whatever sugar substitute you like. It's not quite the same as the real thing, obviously. But I haven't had the "real" version since I was a kid. It's a nice throwback that satisfies the want for a desert-like item with few calories.

I think the real issue is simply that excess calories (and sugary foods are highly dense in calories) leads to obesity. And obesity in childhood lends itself to continued obesity through adulthood, thus higher rates of things like diabetes and high blood pressure.

I think the whole argument about sugar itself is a bit of a moot point. It all comes down to whether or not you let your child become obese while you are still under their care.

I grew up in a household with a lot of sugar. I turned out just fine. Two of my siblings struggle a lot with obesity, and one has been overweight since childhood.

Why is this "disturbing"? Odd headline.

It's really hard to parse these sorts of things. All of these before and after shots for any of these procedures are done by the people advertising them to you. Of course they are going to pick and choose things that work out well. Would be nice if there was a less biased way to research these sorts of things tbh. Interesting technique, though.

Ohhh ok yes I have had that then lol. Screen goes to max brightness. I actually kind of appreciate that feature because I keep my brightness pretty low and sometimes things don't scan well like that.

Interesting. I've not come across something like this. Which types of apps do this for you? I'm guessing maybe something about banking or something????

Reminder to periodically check your sprocket for wear

My owner's manual says to only replace the chain and sprocket together and that only replacing the chain will cause rapid wear.

I tried this, but it heavily backfired on me. My confused half asleep brain wouldn't understand the mystery symbols on my screen and I would end up holding down the power button and falling back asleep....
