Cool.
Pro tip: Fresh pineapple is juicy so I usually use this to cut it in a shallow bowl with a lid to store the cut pieces and and to save the juice, which I'll pour into a glass and mix it with orange juice, which is

Bowl to save the juice, or at least keep the chopped up pineapple in is also a solid idea. I'll do it all into a large tupperware and just seal it all up in there and pull out what I need each day.

Have you ever tried grilling fresh cut pineapple?

I've heard grilled with a little cinnamon and sugar is amazing.

's we do, in either a tupperware or a pyrex if we're feeling glassy.

Just so you know, this thing (if the one you bought works like the one I posted) cuts the pineapple into basically a long spiral. I just stand it up and slice down the whole stack into quarters to make bitesize pieces.

Yeah the one I got does the same thing. So I'll spiral that bitch up, lay the whole thing on its side, and just slice it long-ways and have a bunch of semicircle slices.

I love pineapple. They're annoying to cut up but a full pineapple at Aldi is around 1.5$, so I normally pick one up every week or two.

Pick up one of these:

Aldi sometimes has them too, for about the same price. They work great and it just goes in the dishwasher so no cleanup.

Oh that sounds 5/7. Grilling caramelizes the sugar in the pineapple and seems to concentrate and enhance the sweetness a bit so I don't personally think adding sugar is necessary, but it's personal preference, of course.

I think it's super hard to conclude. Does he have a history of heart condition or high cholesterol? Who's to say he didn't already have clots?

Man, that's awful and I'm sorry to hear that. Whether he or you are into that kind of thing or not I sent up a little prayer for him. It makes me sick to think about all of those who are trying to make the best choice for themselves - whatever that might be - and end up being harmed by the vaccine, or maybe end up catching covid and having a tough time with the virus itself. What a crazy time.

Yeah sure, but if there's any clotting associated with a vaccine, then anyone with high cholesterol or a heart condition should not be taking it; Otherwise, it is essentially a death sentence. They might want to add that warning label.

For sure, but at this stage, any negative publicity about any vaccine would cause hysteria, so they'll just sweep it under the rug "for the greater good".

I have high cholesterol and take a statin for it. zero issue with the vaccine.

It's not. From everything I've read, and I've looked into it a bit having gone through heart surgery myself, the incidents of thrombosis are statistically no different between the (Pfizer) vacced and the non-vacced. There may be a slight uptick with the Astra Zeneca vaccine, which is a big reason why Europe is going away from that vaccine. Your FIL's condition most likely would have occurred anyway had he not been vaccinated.

Side note, best of luck with your FIL. Speaking from personal experience, the things they can do these days to keep hearts pumping and healthy is absolutely . Really hoping for a successful outcome for him. Keep us posted!

Thanks man, hope that's true. He's doing alright, they are going to insert a stent up his arm, and if anything goes sideways they'll need to open him up. Waiting on a date at this point.

So there's quite a bit of , especially paired with a few people 0-2 degrees of separation who have also had heart attacks days after being vaccinated. Three that died, and two that survived, all between the age of 52 and 75. The 52 y/o was a healthy Indian dude working a parts counter who ate well, was not overweight, didn't smoke or drink, and didn't survive.

I'm sure that said 52 y/o's heart already had a defect, and Covid would've got him anyways, but to say that the vaccines don't stress the pulmonary system and aren't responsible for a few deaths is simply wearing blinders. I'm willing to bet that none of the cases will get documented as COD being a vaccine shot.

I know that I'm probably going to piss everyone off, but this is something I want to know more about.
