Submission + - Morse code test requirement to be reinstated for Amateur Radio License (kb6nu.com) 1

H0ek writes: One of the standards of excellence required to possess an Amateur Radio License was to pass a test of Morse Code sending and receiving capabilities. At the beginning of 1991 this requirement was removed for Technician Class licenses, and finally in 2007 this requirement was removed for General and Amateur Extra Classes. This will now be reversed and all new applicants will be required to submit to the Morse Code test again. Also, all previous no-code licensees will have a specific length of time to renew their license with the new code test requirements. This can either been seen as restoring a badge of honor to the venerable amateur radio license system, or the death knell for a crotchety old system fading away in a world of community-wide wifi and mobile communications.

1) A healthy mix of fresh vegetables (a lot), dairy products (some), and proteins (some meat, fish, eggs)
2) It tastes good
3) I really like eating it

The problems with your plan, (For me at least.) I hate vegetables. They taste terrible to me. The very few Veg that I do like are all high starch, potatoes, corn, etc. Also severely lactose intolerant.
Honestly a choice between a salad and going hungry, I am going to have to think about it for a while.
So #1 pretty much eliminates 2 and 3.

So what mostly works for me is lots of meat, eggs, some fish, as much as I can of what veg I do like, and a multivitamin every day. Along with a heck of a lot of walking. (Over 5 miles a day, average.)

According to my doctor, I am disgustingly healthy.

Protip: Never, ever drink water if you just ate something that was "too spicy". Capsaicin isn't water soluble, so you're just spreading it around with the water, making it burn even worse. Try whole milk or ice cream instead. Much, much better.

But I'm lactose intolerant you insensitive clod.
I just avoid spicy food. :)
