For strawberries we are looking at 1.5mg potassium per 1g strawberry. thats 3,133 grams of strawberries to reach my DV on potassium. That is a little over 1,000 calories worth of strawberries... Sounds tasty though.

1) Yes there is an imperial system just as much as there is a metric system (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Imperial)

2) Yes most countries that Officially and/or primarily uses the imperial system will also sometimes use units outside the imperial system, sometimes that will be metric

3) While I wouldnt say "professionals" in the UK exclusively use metric I think its fair to say scientists and engineers do at least. However describing what system or units a country uses is not limited to what their scientists use, and the fact is, as a country, they use a horrid mess of imperial, metric, and in some cases nonsense that is neither (stones instead of lbs). Far worse than the mess int he USA, at least they are consistent and use one clearly defined system.

The Department of Energy says they think SARS-CoV-2 escaped from a lab.

I think I'm going to wait to hear what the Postal Department says about it before I make up my mind...

There are quite a few edible foods that can kill you if not prepared properly or if you eat too many... Almost all of which are vegetables :)

@Pat

@freemo @Pat So many almonds!!! On a similar note of dangerous amounts of healthy foods, I made the mistake of throwing a bunch of dried kombu/kelp into a soup (not properly preparing it - who knew there were rules?) and then had symptoms of mild iodine toxicity. I didn't even realize that was a risk until I started reading up on it later:
pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/209199

So, watch out for soy milk and seaweed!

@PhDMarie

See this is why i stick to cheeseburgers, cheeseburgers never killed anyone (quickly)!

@Pat

I just discovered someone on QOTO is possessed by an owl!!

@Pat

You should let the moderators know when you see this so we can investigate. we try to get rid of bots.

@mapto

@Pat Would need to eat 670 grams of almonds in order to reach my daily value. That would be over 3000 calories worth of almonds... not really workable either sadly.

@Pat

Potatoes have 4.2 mg potassium per 1 gram.. you would have to eat 1.1 kg of potatoes to get your daily intake.

There is 3.58mg potassium per gram of banna. You would have to eat 1.3kg of bannas to get your daily intake.|

So I would have to eat 5.5 potatoes (770 calories) or 11 bannans (1,115 calories)...

Neither option is particularly healthy on a diet, and certainly not a low carb diet.

@Pat I've been focussing on the spinach mostly for the potassium... not many good sources of potassium that are low in calories and carbs. But yea I will need to switch it up tomorrow.

@Pat Iron is only 3x daily max, Vitamin K is 27x daily max... Iron overdose is unlikely unless i eat like this long term.

@shuttersparks I will have to play with it more.. I know from the past its a picky spice, if your eally taste it its too much and when it does work you dont recognize it as nutmet.. at least thats how it plays out for me.

@shuttersparks I never really use nutmeg outside of sweets, but maybe im missing out

@shuttersparks never tried nutmeg on it.. doesnt sound particularly appealing but id give it a go, might surpise me.

To put some numbers to it, the measured regret rate from what I've seen among the studies is about 1% - 2.5%. However its important to note only about 24% of patients report detransitioning to their doctors. So the actual value may be as high as 10%. but as you said even if it is on the high end this is relatively low.

@GenderGP Thats not what the study says at all.. It says only 0.3% of people got procedures afterwards to reverse the surgery... that is **not** the same as saying they didnt regret it.

That said the regret rate does tend to be relatively low (not that low, but low). At least based on other studies I read.
