TIL the gallbladder doesn't just produce bile that "aids in the digestion of fats."
https://www.liverdoctor.com/what-to-do-if-you-dont-have-a-gallbladder/
Or rather the seriousness of that role is majorly underplayed in the western world. Cuz without it there's the inability to properly digest fat, and without fat the body does not properly absorb amino acids, vitamins, or antioxidants. And my doctors acted like being severely deficient in vitamins D and K were my fault. When the fucks cut out the organ I need to process them.

Been watching some 911 videos and reading the comments? 
Never actually looked into it but I wouldn't be too surprised either way 
I have also heard from supposed pilots that a plain couldn't even have made the maneuver that led to it hitting the towers and or the pentagon.
Also I forget which exactly but I have heard certain missiles can easily be mistaken as planes from a distance:
Plane or Missile?

Pretty sure bile can melt steel beams. That shit is horrible. Consistency of egg yolk and acidity of battery acid. Sheesh.
And, I thought it was only the pancreas that produced it, but was wrong, kinda...so I learned something new with you today!
And unlearned something wrong...

Well the gallbladder holds all the bile, it doesn't actually produce it. Produce is a funny word... It does present it to the food digestion part of the system The liver and pancreas work hand in hand to place bile in your gallbladder to be ready to digest meals in your stomach. Without the gallbladder that bile immediately dumps into the stomach (and down into the intestines) which means you're likely not going to have enough bile in there when you eat a fatty meal. Which fucks you up more than they'll admit.
I was horribly sick months after they removed my poor little baby gallbladder because I had all this excess bile sitting in my stomach. Eventually my body realized that's bad and stopped producing so much bile. Which made me more sick. And this is why CookieCrumbs no longer eats red meat.
Though with todays TIL apparently there's pills you can take with a meal that helps you digest fats. I'll definitely be trying it. I also realized I need to be taking more vitamin D. Or maybe I'll see a nutritionist to do a full panel and help me understand how much nutrient foods I need to eat.
I actually thought the bile issue was why my liver was hurting. Turns out I have drug induced hepatitis. But with what I read today it seems my first assumption wasn't entirely wrong, the surgery has definitely put more pressue on my liver. But it's all good I think helping it get the fats and vitamins it needs will help alot

BUMP
TIL the word 'bunk', meaning empty nonsense, comes from US congressman Felix Walker, who interrupted an important vote to talk at length and for no reason about his district of Buncombe County, North Carolina.
Quote:
bunk (n.2) "nonsense," 1900, short for bunkum, phonetic spelling of Buncombe, a county in North Carolina. The usual story (by 1841) of its origin is this: At the close of the protracted Missouri statehood debates, supposedly on Feb. 25, 1820, N.C. Representative Felix Walker (1753-1828) began what promised to be a "long, dull, irrelevant speech," and he resisted calls to cut it short by saying he was bound to say something that could appear in the newspapers in the home district and prove he was on the job. "I shall not be speaking to the House," he confessed, "but to Buncombe." Bunkum has been American English slang for "nonsense" since 1841 (from 1838 as generic for "a U.S. Representative's home district"). MR. WALKER, of North Carolina, rose then to address the Committee on the question [of Missouri statehood]; but the question was called for so clamorously and so perseveringly that Mr. W. could proceed no farther than to move that the committee rise. [Annals of Congress, House of Representatives, 16th Congress, 1st Session, p. 1539]

Augustus was Cesar Augustus. Julius Ceasar was his great uncle.
Augustus was simply a Roman title meaning "Thr Revered One" reserved for the emporers mainly. Also sometimes Consuls who had no ancestors elected consul would become "a free man" gaining more political authority and glory.Almost always acquired usually after successful military campaigns.
It's a title like Scipio Africanis because he defeated Hannibal in the 7th-8th century at the battle of Zama During the second Punic war. It just means Scipio Conquerer of Africa
However getting back to Augustus Ceaser (Octavian) he was WAY more influential and powerful then any other Roman in history even much more his Uncle Julius. Julius only was in power for a few months because he was stabbed a bagillion times after he took his army and overthrew the Roman Senate.

The title Kaiser used by the german rulers until hitler came along was a variation of cesar (caesar). Many other variations like czar also came from cesar

TIL that Nazi Germany allowed for part-Jewish ('Mischlinge') soldiers to partake of their devious world-conquering, and ultimately doomed-to-fail, project.
Quote:
Rigg, who spent seven years researching his book, estimates that at least 150,000 men of Jewish origin served in the German army during World War II.link link
Also that cracking open a cold one with the boys can be a really bad idea.
Quote:
The oldest animal ever known lived from 1499 until the day researchers cracked its shell open, killing it in the process.
Ming, an ocean quahog from the species Arctica islandica, was initially thought to be a record-setting 402 years old. But the scientists who found it on a seabed near Iceland in 2006 now say further analysis has revealed that it was an incredible 507 years old, reports CBS. link

Prometheus (recorded as WPN-114) was the oldest known non-clonal organism, a Great Basin bristlecone pine (Pinus longaeva) tree growing near the tree line on Wheeler Peak in eastern Nevada, United States. The tree, which was at least 4862 years old and possibly more than 5000, was cut down in 1964 by a graduate student and United States Forest Service personnel for research purposes.
