    The quantity doesn’t seem right to me, a normal american peanut butter jar is about 2 pounds. I feel like if the only thing you eat in a day is peanut butter that by itself would be about a half a jar right? Calories would put it at ~1/3 a jar for daily caloric intake but obviously you’re going to overshoot if you’re eating straight peanut butter. Half a jar in a week just doesn’t sound that crazy to me, thats barely over 2 servings/day.

    Also peanuts are low in oxalates compared to other nuts. The number I keep finding for a low oxalate diet is 100 mg/day. Apparently 200-300 is a typical amount. The highest number I found is 20mg of oxalate to a tablespoon of PB so 2 pounds a week is only 160mg/day unless I messed up the math.

    *I think what happened here is OP is either predisposed to kidney stones and is generalizing the special diet they should be on to everybody else or is just overweight and leaving out that detail since everything I’m reading about NAFLD is that it’s caused by obesity not oxalates.













  • I mean it was mostly rhetorical, code is adopted at the state level and localities can only make it more strict. Arkansas is seemingly pretty up to date on their adopted codes so I have to imagine they were in 2004 as well. I’m mostly familiar with electrical and I know that shit wouldn’t have passed inspection in 2004. So either codes are completely unenforced in this location or they did a bunch of modifications without a permit that should make it illegal to sell the dwelling until they get inspected.

    Bonus: they’re gonna have to rip that interior siding and wall carpeting off to inspect the wiring anyway.



  • But really, who cares. Landfills are a negligible amount of land usage and land used for them can be repurposed after closing the landfill. As long as you bury it enough to keep it out of the biosphere the environmental impact of not recycling is negligible. Recycling is preferable for lowering resource extraction sure but as long as its still more resource efficient than a gas car that’s irrelevant.

    To me this is the same as oil industry propaganda over wind turbine blades not being recyclable, like oh no it’ll occupy a few cubic yards of a landfill in 15 years, better build a new coal/gas plant instead.
