Israel claims Hezbollah bunker under Beirut hospital holds millions of dollars
  • In fairness, IIRC that was an American media lie to onboard the public. All I've heard from Israel about it was along the lines of "We don't know about it, we don't doubt it could have happened and we won't investigate."

  • Whats your favorite non-dairy milk substitute beverage?
  • There seems to be a confusion here:

    Amylose is a polysaccharide and one of the two compounds that form starch (alongside amylopectin). What Oatly adds is amylase, one of the enzymes in our body that breaks down polysaccharides into absorbable sugars which means that their oat milk already contains higher amounts of reduced sugars due to that process which is shown in the study I've linked earlier.

  • Whats your favorite non-dairy milk substitute beverage?
  • I'll read the full article later, but based on the abstract, it doesn't sound promising. Maltose is readily absorbed being a simple sugar while amylose is a multi-sugar (and one of the components of starch) that has to be broken down first in the digestive tract, so I don't think those are comparable.

    Based on your ref, I’m not convinced that this is truly the case though.

    What you are essentially saying here is that you don't believe sugary drinks will spike your blood sugar level.

  • Whats your favorite non-dairy milk substitute beverage?
  • There is this study about different kinds of processing with alpha-amylase. The relevant data is in Figure 2, control (C in the figure) was just an oat-water slurry that was heated for some time, En is with the addition of amylase. The rest is about exploring different processing techniques.

    It doesn't compare starch-sugar ratio during digestion tho, not sure if there are any studies that do that. But higher initial maltose content means a higher spike.

  • Whats your favorite non-dairy milk substitute beverage?
  • Nice strawman you got going there, but I never said anything about calories. It's about sugar.

    Your uptake of sugar is not equal across all forms, but varies by the underlying sugar. The rate of uptake is measured with the glycemic index, the higher, the faster the uptake. Lactose has a GI of around 45, sucrose of 65 and maltose of 105. Maltose lets your blood sugar level spike significantly more than the others which leads to a more significant crash which induces hunger, irritability, fatigue, and overeating.

    Coke is a lot more sugar-dense than milk (more than double the density) and coupled with the presence of a higher GI sugar, it's more of a snack than a refreshing drink.

    Additionally, the controlled enzymatic conversion by adding amylase breaks down a lot more of the oat starch than what would normally happen while eating and digesting, so my point still stands.

  • Whats your favorite non-dairy milk substitute beverage?
  • Oatly adds amylase to convert oat starch into maltose. The result is that the sugar content is about that of Coca-Cola while they still write "unsweetened" or "no added sugar" on their sassy packaging because it's technically true.

    It's good for a dash into your coffee, but I wouldn't suggest it as a daily substitute due to the sugar content.

  • Carbon is the work of the devil.
  • Carbon neutrality means carbon dioxide neutrality. Carbon is just an element and literally everything you see and don't see has some of it in it.

    Also, around 2% of our sun's energy production involves the Bethe-Weizsäcker cycle which is a cyclical fusion reaction using carbon, nitrogen and oxygen. (The main source of energy production is through a proton-proton chain since our sun is too small to rely on the CNO-cycle entirely)

  • We'll have a long memory as things get worse for working class Americans, minorities and women
  • I've thought about that recently.

    In Germany, the 2 historically biggest parties were SPD (used to be liberal-democrat) and CDU (conservative) and they often were the ones tugging it out while the smaller parties were filling in as coalition partners for one or the other.

    Over time, the SPD splintered into several semi-big offshoot parties (Linke, for example) while the CDU stayed as a whole. As a result, CDU is now commonly a favorite for getting most votes in an election.

    Is that consistent with politics across the globe? And if, why do liberal or center parties tend to split up more than conservatives?

  • Fifa is ‘ignoring human rights report’ into Saudi Arabia’s 2034 World Cup bid
  • Nihil sub sole novum.

    FIFA follows the money and the reason is simple: they have to compete with the insane privatized corporate climate that is association football today. Nobody is playing for the fame and recognition anymore, it's all about publicity, market value and prize money, and those require funds.

    Saudi-Arabia benefits off of that by being able to sportswash their unjust regime, FIFA benefits by being able to hold an event. Qatar was the same deal, nobody gives a crap about football there as one could easily see.

    That's what endstage capitalism calls "innovation".

  • Puzzle. White to play.
  • Ok, I play Nd5 what do you do? If you don't move your bishop or king, I'm gonna fork both by taking on b6. If you defend the pawn with the king, I play Nf6 instead forking your bishop and outside pawn. Gonna win a pawn either way after already winning the bishop for rook exchange earlier.

  • Puzzle. White to play.
  • Forks the h-pawn and the bishop. You cannot protect your pawn with the bishop either because e8 is covered by the knight as well.

    Should be easy to push to promote for white after eliminating that pawn.

  • Hate-filled conspiracy community hosted on tchncs

    discuss.tchncs.de The Bible And Its Believers In This World - tchncs

    This community was originally an embassy for Christ ⛪ in the fediverse, but due to the hateful nature of the fediverse toward their Creator, this embassy has been fortified into a military outpost on the frontier. 🏰 - “The Bible And Its Believers In This World”, this title specifies the First Class...

    The Bible And Its Believers In This World - tchncs

    This community, under the guise of Christianity and discussion thereof, is just a place filled with conspiracy theories and hatred.

    Exhibit 1: Bigoted, trans- and homophobic video. The comment section shows heavy mod abuse.

    Exhibits 2 and 3: Conspiracy theory. Again comment section is heavily "moderated".

    All of those posts are mod-posts because the community locked for non-moderators to create posts in. Is this really the kind of community that tchncs wants to foster?

    Often getting comments failing to load (both on mobile app and desktop)

    Hey,

    I'm noticing that I get many broken comment chains and comments failing to load. Is that just for me or does anybody else experience issues. I guess, it started when I was updating the mail address linked to this account a couple weeks back. The token I got with the email to verify my address was rejected (Invalid token) and since then, I'm having issues. My settings show the correct email and I cannot send a new token to verify (it says nothing about verification status). It was, probably incidentally, at the evening of when the lemmy update got installed onto this instance, so maybe I've chosen a bad time for the mail change.

    Here is a thread that showcases my problem:

    Maybe someone knows what's wrong.

    Thanks in advance!
