Doesn't that depend on when they acquired the gold and at what price? It has roughly tripled in just 10 years, and increased tenfold since the early 2000s.
It is not up to employer to tell me what to accept. If they lowball me, odds are high that I will just not accept it, or if I do, I will be sure to leave them as soon as I get a more reasonable offer, preferably in the middle of a project with no notice beyond what any prior agreement calls for. I will treat them the way they treat me.
Organic soy milk powder by Now Foods is extremely underrated as a milk substitute. It goes very well with oats. Unlike milk, it practically doesn't expire, it doesn't have sugar, and you don't need to maintain a fresh supply.
Unprocessed fiber-containing carbs are fairly healthy. I get protein in lunch and dinner, and I don't need my oatmeal breakfast to be protein heavy. Oatmeal for lunch doesn't make much sense in isolation.
> Unprocessed fiber-containing carbs are fairly healthy.
I never said that oats are unhealthy or that carbs are unhealthy. I said that a meal without protein is not the best idea.
My critique was not directed at a particular food item but at the meal composition as a whole.
> I get protein in lunch and dinner, and I don't need my oatmeal breakfast to be protein heavy.
TFA suggests to eat oatmeal for lunch.
> Oatmeal for lunch doesn't make much sense in isolation.
I agree!
I guess, it is possible to make oatmeal for lunch work if you up the protein and somewhat reduce carbs in breakfast and dinner, but way? I think that it is much easier to just make a habit to include a high protein food item in every meal. There is basically no downsides to eating too much protein and there are a lot of potential problems if you eat too little.
> There is basically no downsides to eating too much protein
A more nuanced opinion from the Harvard Medical School:
"Can too much protein be harmful?
The short answer is yes. As with most things in life, there can be too much of a good thing and if you eat too much protein, there may be a price to pay. For example, people that eat very high protein diets have a higher risk of kidney stones. Also a high protein diet that contains lots of red meat and higher amounts of saturated fat might lead to a higher risk of heart disease and colon cancer, while another high protein diet rich in plant-based proteins may not carry similar risks."

> However, for the average healthy person (who is not an elite athlete or heavily involved in body building) it's probably best to keep total protein intake to no more than 2 gm/kg of ideal body weight
So, you can increase your protein intake about 2.5 times above RDA without any issues? I would call this "basically no downsides".
Use thicker oats. Do not add sugar or any sweet milk. Also, if you sprinkle ceylon cinnamon and fenugreek powders, the impact will be less. For more effect, I used to microwave it in black tea instead of water.
Heating and then cooling oatmeal should allow it to form some resistant starch of type RS3. This will spike glucose a little less, but it causes much more gas.
Other effective hacks are gymnema, berberine, thiamine, and benfotiamine supplements, all of which help with glucose regulation.
Acacia fiber powder in oatmeal could be a worthy hack too, but I have yet to try it.
I used oatmeal with water and it has always spiked - every body is different. How much less did it spike when you used fenugreek ? What other blood sugar spike hack do you use?
Others that I know of — frozen bread changes starch, or extra virgin oil and almond butter are high in oleic acid so with the right amount it won’t spike as much
I have now updated the parent comment with more hacks. As for a quantification, I don't have one. The only related metric I quantify is HbA1c that I measure at home every few months.
Token-based usage accounting is more accurate and therefore more sustainable than message-count-based usage accounting. It should've been this way to begin with.
There is a logical counterpoint, which is that if a foreign user uses a US VPN, it immunizes them from surveillance to the extend their connection to the VPN stays secure.
