re: Hot water heater question

Never in its life been flushed but when I looked inside, it only had maybe a half gallon of shite at the bottom. I figure it would be 1/3 full or something. I'll still flush my own every few years but it was still interesting.
Local water quality and usage habits are everything. Lot of people keep their's cranked to max temp all the time, no idea what they are doing.

I remember them. Also remember the milk being spoiled more often than not. Think we gave on school lunches by 6th grade and packed our own.

This is what I would do. Drill, tap, run stainless bolts, touch up with a little cold galv spray. Unistrut is going to rust so you'll be spraying it with something too.

Eggs contain small amounts of omega-6, and they’re balanced with saturated fat, monounsaturated fat, omega-3s (especially in pasture-raised eggs), plus cholesterol, choline, and antioxidants. The omega-6 load isn’t remotely comparable to refined seed oils.
They can contain significant amounts depending on what they are fed, most table eggs available are many times higher than that cherry-picked, and frankly just plain wrong, 0.6g per large egg stat you thought you could get away with. As with everything in life, the best is found in moderation.

Problem with these articles, and people like the OP that chose a side with zero critical thinking or due diligence, is that they get very basic facts wrong, like the difference between partial and full hydrogenation.
Well except P&G did no such thing in their reformulation, they divested themselves of Crisco and Jif well over 20 years ago. J.M. Smucker reformulated Crisco in 2007 and today uses soybean oil, fully hydrogenated palm oil, and palm oil. Full hydrogenation introduces little to no transfats, partial hydrogenation introduces a lot of transfats.
Some do, some do not. Many are extremely resistant to oxidation, like Crisco, which I have used to season my cast iron.
Eggs are rich in Omega-6 too. So are a lot of nuts that were/are a major portion of the diets of humans in antiquity so that assertion is pretty much all bullshite.
As for inflammation:

Like the demand for oils and fats didn't outstrip supply due to burgeoning population and industrialization. Demand outstripped supply and that's what drove efforts into the processes that turned waste into something useful. Which is the case for any number of things we use today, for better or worse.
She also cooked everthing in a big copper pot lined with leaded tin. I know because that copper pot is still in my family and I had it professionally re-tinned (with pure tin) over 10 years ago and the shop that did the work said it still had some of the original lining that had a lot of lead in it. Thankfully it never was used to cook with in my lifetime and is still only a decorative piece of top of the pot rack.

I installed well lights in concrete pavers I bored out, definitely prefer how they look compared to soffit fixtures.

17 year old gas hot water heater has started passing what look like fine particles of rust.
When was the last time you flushed it? Ours did the same, flushed it, lot of sediment came out. Put a large sediment filter on the cold water line when I reinstalled it with new plumbing, anode rod, and a pressure arrester. No issues since and the municipal water is bad when it comes to rust and sediment presence. If still looking to replace then definitely go to a local plumbing supply shop, I got a better Bradford-White NG 60-gallon for the same as it would have cost to get a lower quality Rheem version. The stuff carried at big box stores always has cost cutting on parts that may be inconsequential to performance but always reduce longevity.

Have two of the large-room Levoit units, one for each story. They run 24/7 on the medium speed setting, don't think they make a meaningful impact on my power bill. Have the "pet-rated" HEPA filters in them, mostly seems to have reduced the overall fine dust, need to get a good air quality meter to see if they actually make a meaningful impact.
