The thing about trace nutrients is that you have to hit the sweet spot between too little and too much.
 
Selenium, as I have long understood its importance as a supplement, is the required catalyst needed to help or unlock the full benefits of other supplements such as Vitamin E and some others.  I have taken it for some 30 odd years or so since I learned of its purpose for that reason. I used to know the full details off the top of my head but would have to look it up now.  Just one of those things.  Other supplements still taken since this enlightenment are zinc and Vitamin C.  I have long ago quit taking E as an oral supplement due to problems with its sourcing and certain side affects.

My current list of supplements.

Selenium
Vitamins C, D and K
Zinc
Magnesium
Turmeric
Aged garlic extract
Ubiquinol (Co Q10)

Here ya go westslope for an example of my point about making regulations.

 

 kurtster wrote:
I would just say that as with voting, it is not about who votes, but who counts the votes.  Same with "rules".  It is more about who writes them and why than what they actually are.  I would say where there is a "rule" that means someone else has the last word, unless you are the one writing the rules.

The same applies in commerce.  They are called entry barriers.  The ones writing those rules make it as hard as possible to start up a new business to compete with their existing businesses.  Happens everywhere, federal, state, county, local levels.
 

westslope wrote:
kurtster, I think we can agree that legislated regulations are necessary for public safety and for creating a fair level playing field for producers and service providers.
 
In principle, yes.
The ambiguity is over 'rules'.    

Norms?  Social conventions?  Legislated regulations?  Laws?  
 
Any of those / all of those ?  It's an analogy of an observation of "the system".  How about this ... rules are only for how to play the game, not how to win the game.  The rules are made so complicated that you spend all your time just trying to figure out what they are and how to comply and never end up playing the game.  A fools errand / Gordian Knot

You mean Ohmsen made a second language mistake with a popular slang expression such as gang bangers?   Oh.

Yes, we have lots of gang bangers up here in Canada-land — in part due to our immigration policy and the slow, difficult 'integration' that results.  They are mostly no longer involved in weed.  For what remains of the black market, volume and some expertise is required.   US hip hop culture helped glorify the gang banger culture up here too.  There was, perhaps still is, a big influence on First Nation gangs.  The USA, always a great neighbour and friend, also helped with the illegal exportation of firearms.  

The great thing about criminals going up scale?   Less violence.  Less threat to the security of the public. 

And you are right that gang bangs appear to always involve alcohol.  


In so much as American lack of legal gun control and extreme interpretation of second amendment rights are entrenched in government policy, the exportation of guns, violent culture, and attacks on allies, even if by non-government groups are illustrations of how the US is engaged in terrorism.

You do not know that he was too 'stoned' to get it right.  Seriously, now you are starting to sound like Trump or one of his supporters .......

As an aside, I worked briefly out of the UFW AFL-CIO boycott office in East L.A. in the early 1980s.  The crash house was in West L.A.   I was stunned at all the stripped vehicles lying around on concrete blocks.  Was not impressed with the air quality; tried to get out and run before 7AM before the air quality got even worse.

Even more impressive was the massive chip on the shoulder of some of the Chicano staff.

So how do you choose which laws/rules you follow?  Do they shift as the day moves along? How many apply to everyone other than you?  How can you justify being mad at any other rule breaker when this is your own policy?

You're really late to the party here.  You're one of those who now participates only because the laws have changed in your "hood".

I'm not going to get into a debate about street cred with someone like you who has no idea what you are even talking about.  

Have you seen the movie Grand Canyon ?  The Steve Martin character comes to mind regarding your street cred.  It's been a real long time since I've seen it, but I think the shoe fits.

Ohhhh spicy. Yeah, not spelling, you got the name of a major and well known gang wrong while trying to show how well you 'knew the scene'.  I'll allow that you probably did know the correct name, but it was lost in a fog of pot smoke.  I may not  know what I'm talking about, but at least I can get the names right (well, most of the time. and when I screw it up, I own it). 

As for Steve Martin analogies, I like to think of myself as My Blue Heaven, but in reality I'm probably closer to Roxanne with a bit of Three Amigos.

The gangbang-gang at work as usual, against Kurt. What a disgrace to a 'civil' community. Seems the majority has to read up on behaving 'civil'.


Seriously?   Kurt can take care of himself.

But Ohmsen, speaking of civil discourse, I am intrigued by your gangbang-gang metaphor.  Have you ever participated in a gang bang?  Where were you in the line up?    Did you have to use lubricant?   Would you describe the experience as 'satisfying'? 

Gang bangs are outside my experience, hence the questions.  I have heard these stories on and off over the decades of young heroic women getting drunk and then in a semi-comatose state sexually servicing all 20 young men of great stature who belong to a great athletic team.  Or a great dudes in a motorcycle club.  

If Trump was in charge, he would give these heroic, patriotic young women medals of freedom or similar.

So come now Ohmsen, share with us your gang-bang experiences.  

 
You're fixations are getting really weird.  Lubricants ?  Really ?  May I stir some sand in your vaseline ?

I'm pretty sure that Ohmsen was speaking in terms of street gangs as in that kind of gang bangers, not sexually as you would like it to mean.  At least that is what came to my mind having been part of the street scene for so many years.  Ya know, the Crypts and the Bloods.  Maybe it's because you Canadians are so civilized and polite that you don't have any and have no concept of them.  But this is the Marijuana thread and street gangs are the logical fit. 

Sexual gang bangs, imho, would belong to all the alcohol threads and all of you drunkards out there.  {#Drunk}
