This is a fine, not a tax.

Typically, for automated systems that cannot verify the driver, it’s the registered owner of the vehicle who pays the fine.

Mayo says:

If you already drink alcohol, do so in moderation. For healthy adults, that means:

• Up to one drink a day for women.
• Up to two drinks a day for men. The limit for men is higher because men most often weigh more than women and have more of the substance that breaks down alcohol in the body.

A drink is defined as:

• 12 ounces (355 milliliters) of regular beer.
• 5 ounces (148 milliliters) of wine.
• 1.5 ounces (44 milliliters) of hard liquor or distilled spirits.

Personally, I come nowhere near that. However, I’m still curious, at those levels or less, what the effects are.

You had me there.

If I can find it, I’d be curious about this.

I’m more concerned with low to moderate amounts and what the proven negative effects are. AND, is it worse than consuming red meat, carcinogen ingestion, microplastic congestion, and any number of other negative factors we ingest due to a bad diet (e.g. high cholesterol foods).

This is what I’d like to see some data on.

Yeah, I certainly agree with this is probably the most helpful thing from the article. I’ve never pretended that it can be healthy, but I know that’s important to a lot of people.

This makes sense. However, I’m not familiar with cannabis ingestion. I do know that smoking anything at all has increased negative risks.

I drink infrequently, but certainly more than I consume red meat. I might consume one steak a year, for example.

This is helpful.

Of course, it’s focused on positive health benefits. I’m not actually looking to justify alcohol consumption as healthy. What I would honestly like to know is if it is proven to be unhealthy.

This article is the first time I’ve actually heard it associated with cancer risk. And that is with the presumption of frequent and excessive alcohol consumption.

I’m more concerned with low to moderate amounts and what the proven negative effects are. Is it worse than consuming red meat, carcinogen ingestion, microplastic congestion, and any number of other negative factors we ingest due to a bad diet (e.g. high cholesterol foods).

I’m gonna be honest. I need to do a lot more reading because I’m just more confused about alcohol consumption now.

I’d really like to better understand the direct health effects, like cancer mentioned in this article with low or moderate consumption.

“There is no safe level of alcohol consumption” isn’t the most helpful piece of information. A lot of things we consume aren’t completely safe. Whether it be carcinogens, red meat, or microplastics, we are always ingesting things that have both negative and positive effects.

Life is about managing risks. Eating fatty or high caloric foods, affects us a whole lot differently than eating whole foods, vegetables, and low carbs. Alcohol is just another item on the list of risks to manage.

How does low to moderate alcohol consumption compare to the risks associated with all the other sources of consumption?

🤔

I thought episode nine was the last! I was satisfied with the episode knowing the show was cancelled. And then I was treated with one more today!

I’m going to miss Harry Vanderspeigle so much. Alan is such a fun actor. I wish he had more time in this role, but I’m grateful for the time we had.

I know the focus on love and kindness might be cheesy to some, but I really really appreciated how it ended. We need it so bad. This whole world needs it so bad.

There are days where I think aliens like this would be doing us a favor. Then I remember what I saw in episodes like this.

Humans are capable of so much. I’ll continue to hold hope.

Exactly my thought. WTH?

It is exceedingly rare to read that any company provides an unconditional warranty.

Like another person mentioned here, I use the Nikon PROSTAFF 3S 8x42. I purchased them because the Audubon Society recommended it. Even on 20 mile hikes, I don’t find them to be heavy or a problem. They’re comfortable for long periods of use.

When I first started to test binoculars, I went to a local retail store and tried a few but didn’t really know what I was looking for. A couple articles from that organization helped me settle on something.

I occasionally put my phone up to an eye piece for photos, which works fair.

I’ve also seen the four brightest moons of Jupiter with these binoculars! I was ridiculously elated by that.

They get the job done. Perhaps I’ll upgrade in the future once I figure out what that would actually improve. Getting anything that can focus further would mean a lot more movement. That could be beneficial for seeing birds a little further, but probably less useful for sky objects like the recent comet which passed Earth. I observed that one with these binoculars as well! 💜

I’ll own it. I’m wildly ignorant. If there’s something less than an amateur bider, then I’m that person. But these binoculars have been kind to me. They recently helped me see my first indigo bunting and eastern phoebes!

Hmm. Now I’m wanting to look up this topic again and see about an upgrade. 🥰

So excited to have Ritter back in this role!

I watched this again recently. What a crazy episode. They shouldn’t have lived. And that entity… WTH. Haha.

💜💜

Sounds good. The boost app doesn’t show active users in the community search, so I wasn’t sure. Thanks.

Ugh. I want to finish what remains, but this is disappointing to hear.

What’s it take for executives to be willing to finish out a show properly? Sheesh
