  • Fruit juice has vitamins and other micronutrients, but it doesn’t necessarily have that elemental salt profile.

    Blackstrap is the good stuff, it’s got potassium, calcium, magnesium, sodium, iron. Because of how it is produced, it has lots of the impurities of the sugar concentrated in it. Sorghum molasses is okay but not as good for this as blackstrap is. Take a look at the nutrition facts, and you’ll see a bunch of quantities for stuff that’s on the periodic table. I suspect various other concentrates might have similar properties.

    Typically I add maybe 20g molasses per liter of water, with another 10g of iodized salt or baking soda or cream of tartar (potassium hydrogen tartrate).

    I had a health condition for a while that had me carrying salt water on my person for a year, just as a precaution.

    transcript

    Rat (at home): Hey hey hey… who are you guys?
    Employee: We’re from Starbicks. We’re opening a cafe in your living room.
    Rat: Whoa whoa whoa you can’t do that.
    Employee: Oh really? Who’s gonna stop us?
    Rat: The cops. I’ll call the cops. Their station’s right across the street.
    Employee: Look out your window.
    Pig (looking out): It’s a Starbicks.
    (employee gives a menacing grin to a displeased Rat)
    Pig (outside on front steps with Rat): Maybe they’ll still let us sleep here.
    Customer: Hey! Fellas! Y’mind? I’m trying to get a latte.





  • If you were to isolate one factor, citations matter the most … somewhere between like 30 percent and 60 percent of those rankings are based on citations. Citations are so easy to game. So people are setting up citation cartels: “Yes, we will get all of our other clients to cite you, and nobody will notice because we’re doing it in this algorithmic, mixed-up way.”

    Hell yeah, scientific MLMs that are stuffed full of sock-puppets.
