It’s rather ironic that by claiming their comment lacks credibility without including any counterpoints it makes your comment itself lack credibility too.

QuibbleQuotaon In the gut's 'second brain,' key agents of health emerge

This site is a pretty tight digested summary of the same elimination diet that fedup.com.au recommends

QuibbleQuotaon In the gut's 'second brain,' key agents of health emerge

Oh definitely. I did (and am still refining) a full elimination diet to get good clean data. I cut salicylates, amines (e.g histAMINE), and glutamates. Fedup.com.au is a clunky decades old resource, but the content is no-bs and so valuable.

I have rhinitis flare ups too - I’m not sure I’ve pinpointed exactly what flares mine up, but I most suspect guar gum / xanthan gum. Either as a trigger, or just causing thickening of mucus, which spirals into blocked noses and sinus infection issues and further rhinitis.

What really helps me is lymphatic drainage massage. There’s videos on YouTube showing you how to gently directionally massage the drainage channels to keep your sinuses clear.

Oranges and bananas are out for me too, because of histamine intolerance, which correlates heavily with gut issues. Sharing to help others since I wish I had known sooner!

QuibbleQuotaon Apple Detection of Flashing Lights

Yes! I downgraded to an iPhone 11 when I finally identified Apple’s use of PWM on their OLED iPhones as the cause of my eye strain. No issues since.

QuibbleQuotaon Show HN: Voiceliner – Capture structured braindumps on the go

Super cool! I’ve been slowly getting over the self consciousness of using Siri in public. Maybe I’ll start with around the house first…

QuibbleQuotaon How I use the Internet in a healthy way

It’s trained. Once the body is adapted to burning fat instead of carbs while fasted many people find focusing to be much easier since they’re running on a much more consistent fuel rather than a roller coaster of blood sugar spikes. Think of a slow burning furnace rather than a warehouse full of tinder. Atm you feel better after eating because your body is dependant on that hit. Research time-restricted eating, or as it’s called by most people, intermittent fasting.

QuibbleQuotaon Firefox Lost Almost 50M Users: Here’s Why It Is Concerning

I use Firefox daily and the only UI change I noticed in the last few months was the tab bar looking slightly different. I might not even have noticed if it weren’t for articles pointing it out. Just me?

QuibbleQuotaon Ask HN: How do you break out of an algo silo on sites like YouTube and Spotify

I’ve noticed over the last few months that Spotify’s radio and “mixes” seems to give me way more of what I already listen to and not enough varied recommendations. I liked the old algorithm much better

QuibbleQuotaon Tesla owners asking what happens if 'full self driving' isn't real

I don’t think I’d want software I’m trusting with my life running on a 2 weekly update cadence...

QuibbleQuotaon Tesla owners asking what happens if 'full self driving' isn't real

Well, integrity, but even if we set that aside there’s still a point where the marginal benefit of one more dollar is worth less than public sentiment
