High fiber salads should decrease gastric emptying speed. Grain doesn’t have a lot of fiber or protein to break down so it shouldn’t spend much time in your stomach in the first place. Amylases are generally doing their work in your saliva and small intestine.

When I say free money to the owners, I mean the primary effect on the market is only to increase the price, giving more money to sellers and more equity to owners. Without a significant increase in supply, it won’t help much and giving 25k for single family homes would be counterproductive​ in general in my opinion. You want to fuck speculators and parasitic landlords, you do it by increasing supply. That can include a focused effort on high density and mixed use housing that the 25k doesn’t help with.

Nah, using tax dollars to increase property values in a housing crisis is counterproductive as fuck. It increases rents for everyone else as well. Better off attacking it from the supply side with a massive subsidized housing effort and just tanking the market. But that’s politically toxic.

The worst idea is ever giving down payment assistance. Government subsidizing actual builders, sure, but free money to property owners just increases the price to meet supply and demand and goes right into their pocket. It actually increases home prices. Extremely stupid.

Most of them would be denatured by stomach acidity but the risk of something like paradoxin finding a small route into your blood stream is too damn high.

When it comes to venom that is also used as a toxin in other species, though, and is a big killer of humans, the crown goes to https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tetrodotoxin which is used as both a poison against predators for things like pufferfish and a venom for things like the blue ringed octopus.

I wish we used Magyar nicknames in our American locker room. I was big delicious but I don’t know what that’d be in Hungarian.

Kids slamming bathroom stall doors and kicking them with their feet seems to be pretty common from my vague memories.

Watching the tree to see when the fruit is ripe and then carting around a ladder to pick it? That sounds like a fucking job.
