Re: Why is Meat a Risk Factor for Diabetes?

Randomguru — Fri, 15 Jul 2022 14:48:20 -0000

It's not just about eating a Vegan Diet. You have to eat a HEALTHY VEGAN DIET. I've been a Vegan for more than 25 years now. My check ups and blood work are always stellar. Low Cholesterol at 150. BP Normal. And no Diabetes, not even pre-diabetes, and my mother has Diabetes. You can be a Vegan and eat a lot of vegan junk food. Of course, my diet is very hardcore monastic... lots of brown rice, quinoa, steamed vegetables, and legumes and beans.

Re: Why in the world do so many NBA players think the Earth is flat?

Randomguru — Thu, 23 Mar 2017 13:19:08 -0000

Too much evidence that the Earth is round, my friend. So, gives us solid proof that the Earth is flat. For instance, how do you explain time zones and why we need them. If the world is flat there would be no need for them. Plus, the fact that when it's daytime in one part of the world, it's nighttime in another? How about the fact that we have satellites orbiting the Earth that allow us to connect with each other in this very way on the Internet, using GPS. There are just much evidence that the world is round, alone because our current technologies are based on a world being round. Also, if you do time lapse photgraphy of the star at night, they will rotate and hint to your specific latitude and longitude in a round planet. And that on the Southern Hemisphere you have the exact opposite. In a flat Earth this would all be illogical. And our ISS orbiting around our planet has given us too much evidence that this Earth is round. Yes, the Earth appears to be flat but it's an optical illusion. The Greeks had speculated long ago that the Earth is round. This is a no-brainer issue.

Re: How Much Did It Cost in the 1960s?

Can't argue there. It takes two (and sometimes more) incomes to hold down a mortgage.

Re: How Did I Get By Without A Cast Iron Skillet All These Years?

Randomguru — Wed, 01 Apr 2015 16:22:17 -0000

That's awesome! I'm definitely tasting the difference. And it maintains even heat throughout the skillet's surface. Yesterday, I baked chicken wings in the oven with the skillet, for the family, of course. I'm still Vegan. But, food definitely bakes better with the cast iron skillet.

Re: Apple’s Wearable: The TKNAME

Randomguru — Tue, 09 Sep 2014 16:39:07 -0000

There are Garmin GPS watches that cost more than that. But the Apple Watch will probably do what a Garmin watch can do, and obviously more. I think Garmin should be worried right about now.

Re: Apple’s Wearable: The TKNAME

Randomguru — Tue, 09 Sep 2014 16:37:10 -0000

As a runner, I'm going to find the Apple Watch very useful as a more convenient GPS tracker and heart rate monitor. They didn't mention anything about monitoring blood pressure and other vitals. If it'll do that then I'm totally sold on it.

Re: Fitness Update of the Vegetarian Runner

Randomguru — Thu, 12 Jun 2014 16:17:45 -0000

I will definitely check Strava out.

I've been using Kinetic and it can track Cycling, Mountain Biking, Running, Walking and even Trekking (which I've used once or twice and seems to be all about backpacking and hiking.

But, I've been using a paper log as well. See, my doctor doesn't believe me with the workouts and I'm doing a simple weekly log to track 1. Sleep 2. Blood Pressure 3. Weight 4. Resting Pulse. 5. Running/Walking miles. Yoga and Misc.

So when I get back to her in August, I'll be ready to give her a copy of my fitness progress. It's a battle to try and get off these blood pressure and triglyceride meds.

Anyway, wish me luck. I'm trying, and documenting...

Re: Fitness Update of the Vegetarian Runner

Randomguru — Tue, 10 Jun 2014 14:41:36 -0000

thanks, barron!

as a matter of fact, i ran 4 miles and walked 1 mile yesterday; and felt the soreness in the knees and calves. so, i'm planning a 2 mile walk today just to keep doing it and go easy today.

i've also started a running/fitness log again to keep better track of hard and easy days, blood pressure, pulse, weight, etc... i used to do that when i was triathlon training and up to the point i did my only half marathon. after that my wife and i had our first child and it became that much more difficult to maintain a triathlon schedule. ;)

Re: Are Filipinos Asian?

Randomguru — Thu, 17 Apr 2014 12:32:00 -0000

once again, you're coming from a viewpoint that Japanese, Koreans, Chinese are the only Asians. but, people from India have been called Asians by many people in Europe, specifically the United Kingdom, who tend to call Japanese, Chinese, Koreans "Orientals"...

If Indians are considered Asian, and I personally consider them Asian as well. Then, Mongolians are Asian. Tibetans are Asian. Nepalese are Asian. Bhutanese are Asian. Thai people are Asian, and many people confuse them with Filipinos!

Filipinos do NOT look South Pacific. What are you smoking? If anything they are closer to Malaysians, Singaporeans, Indonesians, and no one's been saying THEY look South Pacific!

you're viewpoint is "slanted" (no pun intended) and skewed, and very biased... and at worst quite racist... i'm beginning to think Japanese are Asian Supremacists! And, that's what you sound like. I'm just callin' it what it is...

Re: How to Make Compost Tea & Why You Should

Randomguru — Wed, 01 Jan 2014 11:57:16 -0000

it boggles my mind that the skeptics say there has to be more scientific evidence and studies. the fact is, people do their "own" scientific studies, develop a hypothesis and theory, test them out and watch the results. i mean, if gardeners out there are getting the results, then that's proof enough!

Hi Aein! thanks for replying. :)

I was checking out some youtube videos on urban gardening in the city, and you might want to check out community gardening sites. As they might have a plot in which you can grow your own stuff and share with others at the same time. There might be a program near you.

Blendtec! That's a good quality blender.

I have a Krups that is just okay (I should get a better one. Blendtec or Vitamix would be great!)

I have a "manual" juicer! So, I have to hand crank that. Well, at least I save a little on electricity and burn a few calories using it. ;)
