Very interesting, but do the numerous mentions of taking action in your 20s, 30s and 40s mean it's too late for someone in their 50s?

Nitpick: he mentions LDL-C but the test results don't mention that at all. Only later do I see that is "LDL Cholesterol".

I'm convinced pods broke my dishwasher. I switched to powder years ago and haven't had a problem since.

This seems dangerous. Where's the crumple zone?
Gaikokujin is the correct way to say it. Gaijin is slang but I'm not sure how rude it would be considered.

Dark roast is less acidic than light roasts.

I just bought a bag from Trader Joe's and it was absolutely disgusting. Completely mealy and flavorless. My family agrees and will probably never trust my apple picking skills again.

Why would you do that though? Were you told to do this by the owner? If not, then that's on you and you should have treated him no differently than any other paying customer.

What I find hilarious is the About page doesn't even state what the acronym IS, let alone the definition. Absolutely bizarre.
Unlimited PTO is not something I consider a positive.

>I tip generously because in the US wait staff generally get way below minimum wage so you want to make them whole.

Interesting, I did not know that. What I also find interesting is that those that did swallow a battery between 20 - 25mm, there was no damage in more than 50% of the cases. https://pediatrics.aappublications.org/content/125/6/1168/ta...

CR2032 is 2cm wide so you're probably referring to smaller batteries as these cannot be swallowed by a child.
