“If your business model is to tell lies so that you’ll get viewers and have lots of advertising revenues, then, odious though this business model may be, the tax system’s job is to tax you on the profits that you actually make from it,” Daniel Shaviro, a professor of tax law at NYU, told The Lever. “And those profits are indeed reduced when you are successfully sued by the victims of your malicious falsehoods.”
So Fox is able to write off the $787 million settlement with Dominion, which means people that actually pay taxes, like me, and maybe you, are essentially bailing them out. This really pisses me off. Its no wonder America is a mess. Who can trust a system that is egregiously flawed?
Thank you for reading today's post. Have an InterStellar Day! ~PrP
F, I can’t believe that I am paying for fox’s hand slap.
JOKE:
Little Jonny and Little Billy are playing catch in the garden when the ball bounces into a Rose bush. Little Billy puts his hand in to get the ball and he gets a thorn stuck in his hand. He has a bit of a cry and shows Jonny. “Don’t worry buddy, I know a trick to make it better “.says Jonny.
Jonny goes into the house and comes out with a cereal bowl and a can of cider. He pours the cider into the bowl and says to Billy. “Put your hand in the bowl of cider,that should help”.
“How does that help?” Asks Billy
“I’m not sure “ replies Jonny ,”I overheard my big sister once , she was telling her friend that whenever she got a prick in her hand then she would put it in cider”.
Is marine collagen a better supplement than beef collagen? Costco only had the marine one according to my shopper. What is the difference? It’s expensive so I’d like to get my monies’ worth. I already eat A LOT of sardines if that matters.
Additionally does putting in hot coffee to dose affect the quality?
Smaller particles make a big difference when it comes to getting all those benefits from your collagen supplement. Fish collagen is absorbed up to 1.5 times faster (and more efficiently) into your body. This means that marine collagen has superior bioavailability over beef or porcine collagen. This is due to its smaller particle size compared to other types of collagen.
But for a direct answer to your question. Marine Collagen is far superior to beef collagen.
Bovine vs. Marine Collagen: Which is Better?
Both Bovine and Marine collagen perform similar purposes. They also undergo identical processing, but they differ in structure and function. So, it is difficult to say one is outrightly a better choice than the other.
Take marine collagen if your main focus is to improve skin health, hair, and nails. It mainly contains Type 1 collagen, which is best for this purpose.
Bovine collagen is a better option if you want something that functions beyond skin health. It contains type 3 collagen, which helps to cushion body joints. It also aids the speedy recovery of bones and tissues.
Also, marine collagen has more Aspartic acid, Arginine, and Alanine. Aspartic acid can act as a neurotransmitter, and Arginine speeds up the body’s healing process. The alanine constituent provides the body with energy, increases immunity, and aids the functionality of body muscles and tissues.
Bovine collagen, on the other hand, is richer in Glycine, Proline, and Hydroxyproline. Glycine improves muscle strength, skin health, and bones. Hydroxyproline aids the stability of Collagen while proline improves heart muscles’ strength.
If you are sensitive to fish or meat, or you have a preference for either one, the choice is simple. Go for fish collagen if you are sensitive to meat and vice versa.

Bovine vs. marine collagen
Over 20 types of collagen exist in your body, each with a specific role. The main types are collagen I, II, III, and IV (3Trusted Source, 5Trusted Source).
Collagen supplements provide different types depending on their source.
Bovine collagen has been found to increase types I and III collagen, whereas marine collagen boosts types I and II (3Trusted Source, 4Trusted Source).
The collagen in your skin is primarily made up of types I and III collagen, meaning that bovine collagen may be especially useful for reducing wrinkles, promoting elasticity, and increasing skin moisture (4Trusted Source).
Meanwhile, marine collagen may improve cartilage and skin health. What’s more, some studies suggest that it carries a lower risk of transmitting diseases, has fewer inflammatory effects, and boasts a higher absorption rate than bovine collagen (2Trusted Source, 6Trusted Source).
Marine collagen is still relatively new. Nonetheless, research has shown promising health benefits for bone tissue regeneration, anti-wrinkling effects, UV radiation protection, and wound healing (3Trusted Source, 7Trusted Source, 8Trusted Source, 9Trusted Source).
Thank you Basil and Sibal. I keep a tub at work besides home so maybe I’ll switch off between the two.
What you said has a lot of truth, but if one has not sworn off all sea food, they need not swear off Marine collagen.
Also Miss Anthrope(Love the combo) wise choice. Just remember not to do them every day. I have found no reliable data on doing a daily non stop collagen intake.
Thank you Basil that should keep the cost down a little.
What was Trump’s pettiest moment as president?
Until last week, I would have been unable to choose from the hundreds and hundreds of petty, spiteful things this failed human has done.
But he left us with a winner.
Remember how he ran out of town the morning of Biden’s inauguration so he wouldn’t get his fee-fees hurt by having to welcome the guy who beat him — by a landslide — back to the White House? Well, 30 minutes before the transfer of power, trump fired, by phone, the Chief Usher of the White House.
The guy who was supposed to open the door for the Bidens in trump’s absence.
Then he sent home everyone else on the staff. Meaning that when Biden arrived at the White House he was greeted by… closed doors.
Hysterical, right? That Donald; such a card!
Sure, it’s a massive violation of protocol that reflects badly on Little Donnie. And yes, it’s a security threat; there’s a reason the president doesn’t open his own doors to discover what’s waiting for him on the other side. But it’s right up there with short-sheeting someone’s bed at summer camp, so… Greatest Prank Ever!
That same day 4,400 Americans died of the #TrumpVirus. Instead of mourning their loss, or thinking of how he could reduce the death toll, trump was using his last minutes in office to try to embarrass the man who beat him.
Further, final proof he was completely emotionally and psychologically unfit for the job.

A note on gummy supplements: It’s tempting to grab some gummy supplements, but the gummy versions often include artificial flavors, preservatives, and dyes to make them more palatable.
Type I is the most prevalent type of collagen in your body. It makes your skin, nails, bones, hair, organs, bones, and ligaments — and marine collagen is an excellent source of type I collagen. Type II is another important type of collagen; it’s responsible for your joint health and digestive lining. One can only get Type II from bovine collagen.
Thank you for confirming that I should probably take both.
Do be careful about taking either too often. Too much prebiotic or probiotic can cause extra dry patches of skin.
Basil, I’ve been told that bovine is recommended while marine is not (even within the same brand) due (1) to the mercury levels that most (even the most progressive) companies cannot make promises about, and (2) since the bovine collagens have been tested and have NSF certifications, while marine collagens do not; the latter is true even for the celebrated Vital Proteins brand.
Collagen is the glue that holds your body together. Your body naturally produces collagen on its own. In fact, it makes up 33% of the body’s total protein and a whopping 75% of the dry weight of skin (3). However, beginning in your 20s, your natural collagen production begins to decline by 1% with each passing year. Which means that by 50 years old, your collagen levels have been cut in half. This explains why wrinkles develop, skin sags, joints ache, and bones lose their strength.
Bovine collagen has many health benefits
As you age, your body’s collagen production naturally declines and can cause many health issues, including bone, joint, and skin problems.
Other factors affect collagen production as well.
Individuals who smoke, eat a lot of sugary or refined carbs, or are exposed to excess sunshine are also at risk of decreased collagen production (10Trusted Source, 11Trusted Source, 12Trusted Source).
As such, bovine collagen supplements may help counter the effects of lower collagen levels. Still, more human research is needed on all of these potential benefits.
May help alleviate osteoarthritis symptoms
Bovine collagen may relieve symptoms of osteoarthritis, a common type of arthritis caused by the disintegration of the protective cartilage at the ends of your bones. It can lead to pain and stiffness in your hands, knees, and hips, among other body parts (13).
In a test-tube study in mouse cells, bovine collagen increased bone formation and mineralization, which may aid osteoarthritis (14Trusted Source).
Furthermore, in a 13-week study in 30 people with osteoarthritis affecting their knees, those given 5 grams of bovine collagen twice daily experienced improvements in symptoms (15Trusted Source).
May decrease visible signs of aging
Bovine collagen may improve the symptoms of aging skin by raising the quality and quantity of skin collagen.
While an 8-week study in older mice indicated that bovine collagen supplements did not enhance skin moisture, they did significantly improve the skin’s elasticity, collagen content, collagen fibers, and antioxidant activity (5Trusted Source).
May prevent bone loss
Bovine collagen has also been shown to prevent bone loss in several animal studies (14Trusted Source, 16Trusted Source, 17Trusted Source).
As such, it may help combat osteoporosis, a condition in which your bone density declines. People with osteoporosis have a higher risk of fractures.
In a 12-week study, rats given an oral supplement containing bovine collagen and calcium citrate experienced significantly reduced bone loss (16Trusted Source).
SUMMARY
Bovine collagen has several potential benefits, including improved skin health and relief of osteoporosis and osteoarthritis symptoms. All the same, more human studies are needed to verify these effects.

JOKE:
Three mischievous old Grandmas were sitting on a bench outside a nursing home
When an old Grandpa John, walked by.
And the one old granny yelled out saying, “We bet we can tell exactly how old you are.”
John said, “There is no way you can guess it, you old fools.”
The second old lady said, “Sure we can! – Just drop your pants and under shorts and we can tell your exact age.”
Embarrassed just a little, but anxious to prove they couldn’t do it, John dropped his drawers.
One of the old aunties asked him to first turn around a couple of times and to jump up and down several times. Then the three of them all piped up and said, “You’re 87 years old!”
Standing with his pants down around his ankles, John asked, “How in the world did you guess?”
Slapping their knees and grinning from ear to ear, all the old girls happily yelled in unison…
“We were at your birthday party yesterday!”
JOKE:
A Navy Admiral comes into the office one day for a staff meeting. Having gotten some the night before, the Admiral was in a fine and philosophical mood. He posed a question to his staff,
“Is sex more work, or play?”
A Captain replies that sex is 50/50.
A Commander decides that it’s 60% play, 40% work.
A Lieutenant states that it’s 70% play, 30% work.
A junior Ensign opines that it’s 60% work.
The Admiral sees the enlisted Yeoman Second Class who is preparing the coffee for the meeting, and poses the question to him.
The yeoman replies; “Sir, it can’t be anything other than 100% play.”
Puzzled, the Admiral asks why that is.
“Because, Sir, if there was any work involved in it, these guys would have me doing it for them.”

Did You Know?
“Bus” is derived from the Latin word “omnibus”, which means “for all”.
Did You Know?
There are no remaining confirmed descendants of the 16th U.S. President, Abraham Lincoln; his last descendant, great-grandson Robert Todd Lincoln Beckwith, died on December 24, 1985.
The waiting time is BEYOND absurd. This can’t continue like this.
Unfortunately, it is what it is. If we could change it, we would most certainly do it .
I understand this is a forum for Aliens, so aliens unless you are only talking to each other how about answering my question? Tell me something about the Book of Enoch. I have heard that some aliens gave humans religion. So how does the Book fit into that or does it?
The box has been opened for our rejoining the Avenue. A nod to PrP is being given.
Aliens gave earthlings religion so that they could form compassionate civilizations. Unfortunately you humans used religion to enslave and control each other. You are still doing it today. It matters not who you choose as your god or gods, the very concept of the ideas that a God or Gods had anything to do with your conception is ludicrous since we made it up entirely for the purpose of getting you creatures to form a cohesive unit that would shepherd the planet we put you on until we returned to see how our experiment developed.
We have returned and it has been a disaster. Yes, religion did get you to interact and create as a unit towards a goal, but the goals changed as your corrupt leaders changed. You are basically a fractured group of homicidal maniacs bent on destroying the planet and the people on it. The men on earth use religion as a means to give themselves permission to control, harm, and even kill those who don’t follow their religion of choice. Men have become inventive and created their own form of a god calling it communism, or some other commitment to cause to allow them to control the masses so as to use their combined strength of numbers to force their will upon others around them. Hence our grand experiment was a failure. Now we, or rather some of us, await the outcome so we may reclaim this planet before it is destroyed beyond repair.
But if you need a more direct answer to your question. It would be there can be no answers in any of your religious books as to your future or present predicament because we invented the idea of religion and none of the characters in that idea are real or gives a wit about you. All your religious books are fiction.
We you die, you return to the Universe as energy spent but not destroyed. There is no heaven or hell for you to aspire to or dread respectively.
However in retrospect, some of us wish there was a hell to send the more corrupt and dastardly of your species to. But alas, they too return to the Universe as energy in the continual cycle of its attempts to find order in the mists of its randomness.
Are you certain that the secrecy around the discussion of dealigning the box pattern for new arrivals is appropriate here?
You may wish to avoid the need to to disassemble the congregation of those arriving from like solar systems for your particular reasons. We support airing both those reasons and the occupancies and the need to disallow those occupancies.
We see no need to attack those alien arrivals who sought to solve their problems of navigating the weather of the Universe to get here by grouping together. The fact that the environmental conditions of their planets caused them to evolve in their way to survive and conquer their environmental challenges should not preclude them from seeking like beings to travel with.
Having arrived here under those circumstances shouldn’t mean they have to be disbanded to lessen unwarranted fears by those already here. Unless there is proof of imminent danger to others because of the group, that edict to disband should not stand.
NOTE: No defiance of the proposed edict, if enacted, is being proposed, this is merely the right of exercise of state of mind on all issues within THE 4 or FOUR on the Avenue.
We are exercising our right to this venue with the understanding of the LAW of ˇÓˇ ´Â∏´‰O‰ that no such entities will be harmed or threatened with harm because of such exercise.
The LAW is recognized and obey. Your rights are preserved and protected and decreed by ˇÓ´ ´Â∏´‰∏O.
How does that affect those of us who fear those aliens now arriving who are predators not only of earthlings but all other non similar life forms they arrived with? We see the need to disband their numbers because of their collective ability to use their 1. Superior speed, 2. Stealth, 3. Camouflage, and or 4. Armor to their advantage because those are natural abilities given to them by nature to enable them to conquer the environment they survive in and manipulate for that control. We on the other hand have no such naturally genetically enhanced abilities or skills. We must use technology to arrive at anything close to their natural abilities. As a unit preying upon us, this poses an unacceptable risk.
We do not accept their assurances that they will ONLY prey upon humans. If allowed within the Sphere of the Four, they must be disbanded for the security and protection of us all.
What is the ”Sphere of the Four” mean?
The discussion of this and any other matter is now open/
J*/~ protest any assertion that we cannot control our impulse to feast upon those we have accepted as intellectual compatible associates. As such we will vigorously resist any attempt to divide those of us who arrived together to observe and worship The TWO as any of you have. We too have visited “Sonar” and realize either there must be GODS or those so powerful in their technology as to be gods to us. We have no intention of offending Them or Their TWO. We, like you, come to observe, an to interact if possible, but to learn how such miracles of magic can exist in the Known Universe.
You must have suspected that there would be many other possibilities for anatomical configurations to enable other life forms to manipulate their environment. You yourselves come in various different anatomical configurations. Yet, you balk at what we look like and attribute our superior anatomical configurations to aggressive behavior towards our environmental influences. We get along fine with our birth worlds, indeed we function well within the solar systems we have conquered. Like many of you who come back to see how your food has multiplied we too visit our conquered domains to farm the food that is there. Just because we were hunters of meat and not farmers as you apparently are doesn’t mean we can not be as sensitive to our meat as you are towards your crop of humans. Given that you have given us sway to dine on earth, we see no need for you to fear that we would turn our appetites towards you.
Your “peaceful” intentions are reflected in the massive armada you have in the Oikwni sector of the MilkyWay. It is in direct violation of the agreement you penned with Óˆß ˝®åç´ 9 years ago. Are we to assume you are giving us now the same type of assurances?
Joke !
I like how humans stopped commenting, after they heard the Alien talking about us as a food.
It seems to me that the aliens that want to eat us are upset at the aliens that want to eat them. I’d like to know who are the aliens at the top of the food chain.
