Reply to comment by Technical_Sir_9588 in Researchers team has spent 9 years monitoring gluten-free products to analyse whether they are nutritionally deficient, and found that they are not usually nutritionally equivalent to those that contain gluten, but the quality of the products has increased considerably by giuliomagnifico
I have also developed a wheat intolerance in the last year-plus, with the same symptoms, more or less. The insane itching is what got me to say “Something is wrong here.”
The gluten-free pizza from Dominos did not give me the tummy-snakes, so that is a good treat sometimes. It really opens your eyes to the prevalence of wheat, especially in fast food (essentially all of it). If you’ve traveled somewhere and need a snack or meal it’s difficult to find things. I eat lots of beef jerky and potato/corn chips now if I’m away from the house. I’ve lost 15+ lbs, though, so that’s neat!

Yes, the scientific study of how to manipulate people effectively. I call it the dark side of psychology.

It's a thing in Europe too. Atleast my country. Tbh, while I find laws like that kinda dumb, I also find the creative ways companies get around it kinda hilarious

It's another word for 'dress', more commonly used in some regions of the UK.

Wow really? You mean in an overinflated housing market, people who build and own properties are making more money from them?

Where’s the study that explains why new startups that just add -ly to words make me want to throw a chair though a window?
Latest I saw was an add for “Remitly”. Come on

I fkn hate that name - krusteaz sounds like a skin infection, the spelling is so far removed from a known English word/phrase.
I only recently realized phonetically it was probably originally Crust-Ease. Which makes perfect sense for a mid 20th century baking mix.

I just think it’s stupid when things are spelled like that and I avoid it.

Findings in title quoted from the authors’ linked content.^1,2
From the linked summary:^1
>Our research compared 22 publicly available national datasets, looking at the period between 1998 and 2020.
>One of the datasets is known as gross fixed capital formation (GFCF) of new homes, which is published by the Office for National Statistics and reflects the sale prices of new houses minus the land prices.
>It includes the costs of things like labour, materials and subcontractors, plus whatever profit the builder makes from the sale.
>We also compared GFCF per dwelling to the Royal Institute of Chartered Surveyors’ (RICS) index.
>We were able to calculate land prices by working out GFCF per new dwelling and deducting this from the average price of new houses in a given year.
>This clearly demonstrated that the land price per house has flatlined since 1998 at £48,000 per home, per the graph below (land prices are the green line).
From the peer-reviewed paper:^2
>Prices of components, other than land value, are obtained from gross fixed capital formation data and construction output.
>When corrected for inflation, these have risen by factors of 1.7 and 2.0, respectively, over 1998–2018.
>By including the self-employed, the total labour per new-build private dwelling is derived which has risen 2.4 to 3.0 man-years over 2011–2020.
>Since 2000, construction companies’ gross operating surplus per job has risen much faster than compensation of employees per job.
>This extra gross operating surplus, which can be associated with profit, totalled £11.6b in 2019 reaching £70k (at 2016 prices) per new private dwelling in 2019.
>Rising prices have created the opportunity for housebuilders to extract larger profits.

Um, bacterial infections that originate in the mouth cause death from heart failure is not a controversial premise.

Actually a real thing in US food labelling laws. Look into the difference between "Krab" and "Crab".
