Many plants have anti-nutrients, compounds that inhibit absorption of nutrients. Both coffee and tea inhibit absorption of some minerals, such as iron.

That thing is about 70 meters long and weights 300 tons and some.

Right hand for right-handed threads and left hand for left-handed. If unsure, it’s most likely right-handed.

Tea Adventures has a long list of online stores that sell tea and teaware. There’s a search field that can be used to filter the list. For example, a search for “teaw states” gives a list of stores in The United States that sells teaware.

Battery water is quite readily available everywhere and it’s cheap.

My family's always sliced the pineapple into disks then cut those into 4ths. You end up with a small part of core per piece.

This is the way. And depending on how hard the core happens to be, you can slice the pineapple into thinner discs or cut them into smaller pieces to make it easier to eat.

Peerless Assassin isn’t much more expensive. I have it on my Ryzen 5700x, and it’s never audible. At idle my PC is pretty much silent and while playing games GPU and case fans hides any noise the PA makes.

This diet is based on Dr. Roy Taylor’s research on Type 2 Diabetes, and its reversal. He and his team noticed that people with T2D have fat in their liver and pancreas. They confirmed this with a new MRI imaging technique that they developed. Regardless of body weight, if you have fatty liver/pancreas you have T2D or at least pre-diabetes. But, if your liver and pancreas are healthy, you can be overweight and not have T2D.

They call it the twin cycle hypothesis. Google it up, but short is this. If fat builds up in your liver, it starts a cycle that among other things causes the liver to send fat in to your pancreas, which starts another cycle in the pancreas, which feeds the liver’s cycle. As the pancreas gets more and more fatty, the insulin producing beta-cells begins to de-activate, which leads to T2D.

They wanted to test whether this hypothesis is true, and if so, is T2D reversible. How to do that? Their T2D test subjects must loose weight. What’s the fastest way to do that? Extreme caloric restriction.

They put their subjects on a diet consisting of 4 doses of meal replacement formula per day (800kcal/day). Their subjects noticed that it’s actually quite easy to stick to that diet after couple days.

The results of their studies is that if people loses enough fat to free their pancreas from fat, their pancreas can heal and return to normal, reversing T2D. But, there is always a but. If T2D has been going for too long (over 6 years in their studies), too many of the beta-cells have died, and full reversal of T2D is not possible.

Note: Extreme caloric restriction is very dangerous if you are on T2D medication. Do your own research and talk to your doctor. I tried to use correct terms so it’s easy to check the things.

This is a good point. Black PSU and motherboard might stand out too much in that light, white-ish case.

I agree with this. Could easily save $200 buying some older and lower spec components. CPU choice is probably because of the iGPU, but there are other cheaper CPUs with iGPU. I don't think the use case is going to require more computing power in the future, so I don't know if future proofing is really necessary. If the use case changes some few years from now, you need to buy new components regardless of your choices today. Save some money now and put it towards a future upgrade.

16GB DDR4 is enough. That's about $40 off. SSD is pointlessly big for the use case. 250GB might be enough, but even 512GB would be a bit cheaper.

CPU could be downgraded to something a couple generations older. Motherboard can also be downgraded, unless that one has some important features. That saves at least $150 total.

PSU is a complicated question. Cheaper would be enough, but you might lose money over time in your electricity bill. That's kind of difficult to calculate.
