"d I wouldn't be shocked to learn a large portion is related to our modern diet and lifestyle and it's interaction with long standing genetic mutations that were less pronounced because we were outside, "
Nope. It's the rate is same in areas with different diets. Countries that still kill what they eat.
" how we didn't consume as much artificial/modified foods like HFCS "
We ha autism before HFCS, and at the same rates.
SO shut up, you are spreading inaccuracy and propagating lies spread by idiot who equate 'natural' with 'good'. Stop it.
". Besides autism is begin badly abused as a diagnosis for every child not perfectly normal" As someone who went through the diagnosis process with my daughter, I assure you there is a strong difference between introvert and autistic. Ignorant people like you keep spreading this bullshit lie. Most autistic people aren't introverted.
I was interested in this, but it's another 'Diet can cure Autism' bullshit with no evidence behind it at all. And parents reporting on their kids are HORRIBLE at it.
It isn't true, and I have an interest in it being true.
"Every time I see an article like this all I can do is think of my great grandma, who lived to 102 while eating everything cooked in pure lard and who made her sweet tea so strong you could see two teaspoons of sugar in the bottom of the thing."
why don't you think of the 100s of thousand that died early from that diet? No, no. One data point.
" i mean you can test newborns and find plastic in their blood, everything we eat is artificial, pumped full of hormones and preservatives and wrapped in leaking plastic, is it any wonder we have so many problems?" well, that's just wrong... and by that, I mean you.
It's probably adjustable, sine not every one would want the same height. That means gears and track, and additional stabilty to comenstate with a high center of gravity. And long legs mean the legs need to support more.
"I can't use a cardboard box to put my computer on," OK. Protip: the make boxes out of other material.
What does that have to do with: "So the choice is, sit down for nine hours each day or else get a standup desk to the tune of 500 bucks or more"
"Can I make one myself?" How the fuck would we know? Can you make a desk with long legs that's stable? Do you have cubes that allow you to mound a desk to it?
Do you have a health reason for standing? then do so. If not, then sit. Get up every two hours and walk for a minute or two. Stand up desk is a typical solution made up by people who don't think.
Sitting for long hours is bad? Well then we should stand for long hours instead.
"military rations would do." Here is a plan, get a MRE. Get on a plane.
While the plane is in s steep dive,. try to eat MRE.
"And the people eating them will probably not care about the rations." yes, they will. If it isn't varied enough, they won't want to eat enough for their activity. "Eating the same food over and over again isn't going to drive you anywhere near insane unless you were unstable already. " It will make people depressed, unmotivated, and loose the desire to eat the proper amount.
"etting sick of foreign food, it's not going to kill you and if you're military-trained " WHo said anything about killing you? it has other problems..and 'foreign food' is not the same thing as eating the same thing.
" Sure, there's problems with cooking in such environments but surely they have to be solved " yes, but we dn't ahve data on what will be rewuired to solve them. We will. After we get people there. But this is a science mission; meaning everything they do is pretty much an experiments becasue it's never been done before, so lets limit variables.
"Send up ingredients and a bunch of recipes" Are you stupid? that's the worse way to send food.
Are you stupid? "Send up raw ingredients. " apparently, yes.
Because we don't know if that will work. The first trip is about showing that we can get to another planet, getting data, getting martian material, and setting up a very basic foundation for the next trip.
Solar panels? seriously? What industrial level thing are you going to power on mars with solar?
"and the materials to start growing their own." so, you're going to send 5 acres of top soil? and a dome to cover it? and water to grow for ever? and room for live stock? on the first mission?
Because they are claiming to be the same people that hacked into bitcoins trading floor. Not that getting these documents was a hack, only that they are hackers. If you see my meaning.
"Have LED lights? that's a savings. (NO IT IS NOT)" where do you think the enrgy for lightrs comes from?
SO, if a light use less power, then YES IT IS A SAVINGS. You might want to read up an Newtons laws.
" 163 grams/mile of carbon dioxide (CO2) " Which is exactly how lowering CO2 should be done. It's specific and actually HARDER to pull shenanigans.
"My motorcycle that DOES get 40mpg, but has no exhaust cleaning systems, no AC improvements, no LED lights, etc, is without the bonuses WORSE for the environment." Correct. You might want to try and understand why. Lower CO2 is the goal. YOU put out more CO2 then those vehicles per mile traveled; hence worse for the environment. IT's not just fuel consumption, it's how clean it burns.
"Have some other vehicle that is electric? That's a savings for your trucks." That's a temporary savings. Its an incentive. Did you evan read that pdf?

Bias - Look it up.
lazy weak fatso complains about how standing is 'hard'. News at 11.
Well, if it was done a long time ago, it must be valid~
Assuming he isn't a dog, he probably doesn't drag his ass across the floor to get to the bathroom.
When the scientist and the cynic pull out of you, talk to the scientist about how to determine how much benefit there is.
" I design and code websites"
so you judgement is certainly in question~
Worse then that, he isn't asking us how to do it. He is asking a bunch of people who don't know him if he can do it. Seriously?
"..so they can be raised or lowered at will."
you you only have to think about it and it adjusts? sweet.
Don't forget the "add 20% because it has 'geek' in the name and you can impress your friends with how smart you think you are' fee.
Standing for an hour is about 100 calories for a 200 lb man.
sitting burns about 80.
So, basically it's the same as eating 2 less bites from a burger, or better don't order fries or chips.
The more you know=========*
I was simple pointing out that most purchased standing desks are adjustable. Of course, setting the desk on a stack of something also works.
You would have a point if the title was proper English sentence.
It's an argument for better Grammer* classes.
"Cash-Poor Sharp Mortgages Display Factories"
It's just a bad sentence all around.
"Sharp mortgages display factories for bank loan." Adding Cash poor is redundant.
Of course when ever a company uses a common word for a name, it can make for weird sentences; however that isn't an English problem.
So it should be:
"Sharp Electronics Corporation mortgages display factories for bank loan."
I'm not even very good with grammar** and I can see that.
*haha
**English is both my first and second langues. I had reconstructive surgery and need to learn how to speak again after I was 5.

" send military personnel"
not really.
"military rations would do."
Here is a plan, get a MRE. Get on a plane.
While the plane is in s steep dive,. try to eat MRE.
"And the people eating them will probably not care about the rations."
yes, they will. If it isn't varied enough, they won't want to eat enough for their activity.

Are you stupid? that's the worse way to send food.
Are you stupid?
"Send up raw ingredients. "
apparently, yes.
Stupid person doesn't understand how much things cost, complains about money. News at 11
no, it's not that simple. If it was, they would be done.
How many times have the stored food supplies for 4 people for 3 years use? hint: NEVER.
You assume that storage used for a few months is the same that can be used for a long term space mission.
Things like:
Nutrient variety
Rot
Space
Water
Being able to eat it in zero G
Digestive impacts
Flavor
and many more.
Yes, the other stuff is ALSO critical. Here is another hint: Trips to another planet have MANY critical aspects.
"I can fit in a single backpack all the food needed by one person for 30 days."
ohh, 30 days. wow.
"So it 's a balance that is hard to figure out."
not really. It's how to maintain it that's the hard part.
Good luck planning a 3 year grocer list and never deviating form it and never get outside calories for those 3 years.
Hmm, sounds like a reality TV show.\
IN case they need food for a trip to another planet? No? then they probably have nothing to add. And by probably I mean, definitively.
Because we don't know if that will work.
The first trip is about showing that we can get to another planet, getting data, getting martian material, and setting up a very basic foundation for the next trip.
Solar panels? seriously? What industrial level thing are you going to power on mars with solar?
"and the materials to start growing their own."
so, you're going to send 5 acres of top soil? and a dome to cover it? and water to grow for ever? and room for live stock? on the first mission?
that sending a delivery vehicle every 6 months should be part of a mission to mars. And supplies should be sent ahead of the manned mission.
Because they are claiming to be the same people that hacked into bitcoins trading floor.
Not that getting these documents was a hack, only that they are hackers. If you see my meaning.
