I do brush occasionally - usually down to when I have a crappy taste in my mouth, from an illness or jetlag or the occasional accidental sugar intake (it's hidden in many things - jerky is a minefield). I maintain a Michelin exception - If the restaurant has a one or more Michelin star, eat the food. I need to brush after that. That's once or twice a year.

Untrue - it's been debated a lot, but the recent nitrogen isotope research shows forebears were strictly carnivore. Adapting to tolerate plants certainly happened and was a good survival trait when you run out of big animals to eat.
Check out the research of Miki Ben Dor. He pulled together a lot of the data.

This is the cognitive dissonance of people who think fat is bad and carbs or plants are necessary. It isn't, they aren't.
The world is full of doctors who say "Wow your health has improved on your wacky diet - but I'm concerned the diet is unhealthy". A lack of mental clarity if ever there was one.
>You had not brushed or flossed your teeth, but there was no plaque build up? Correct.
>Perhaps you meant something else. No plaque, bad breath, cavity formation or gum disease (I had a history of all four beforehand).
>When you say you avoided all sugar and plants, does that include in beverages? I drink coffee and water. Coffee is hardly carnivore, but I'm not following anyone's rule book.
>Because aside from water there isn't much you can drink that doesn't contain some plant derivative in it. Dairy - but milk and half-and-half (US term for light cream) has sugar in the form of lactose. Heavy cream is very low in lactose and has plenty of calories. So a heavy cream latte is great to wash down a steak.
The storage form of lipids in the body is the triglyceride. That's 3 lipid chains bound together with a sugar molecule on top. When the molecule is broken down to be used, the top is popped off and you get three fat molecules and one sugar molecule to burn.
The brain need a certain amount of glucose - there isn't space in the skinny brain cell endings for mitochondria to process lipids. So they use only glucose. Similarly, red blood cells need glucose. Everything else can use ketones.
It is no coincidence that the ratio of sugar to lipids your body need is exactly the same as the ratio of sugar to lipid in the triglyceride molecule.
In the absence of dietary glucose (I.e. carbs), your liver will gladly make glucose from fats (glucoseneogenesis), which is a good thing if you are trying to lose weight and/or fix a fatty liver.
Go find it, you lazy coward. Google works. Weston A. Price published his findings 80 years ago and the data hasn't magically changed since. We didn't evolve with toothbrushes or sugar.
The need for fiber has been thoroughly debunked by scientific research and the experience of many. Try it and you will see for yourself that in a week or two you will be enjoying properly formed poops.
As for staying off the sugar - I haven't touched sugar in 15 months.
As for brushing teeth - I do it occasionally for the fun, but it makes no difference when you are avoiding plants and sugars that feed mouth bacteria and lead to internal inflammation that inflames the gums and inhibits their ability to fight harmful mouth bacteria.
I went into it with my eyes open, getting regular blood tests to make sure I wasn't killing myself. Consistent with the experience of many, it led to many health improvements.
It shows an interventional research study where removing plants has been shown to heal a permeable, inflamed gut.
I know a few people with Chron's who improved or fixed their symptoms on a keto and then a carnivore diet. There are also a lot of people who were suffering psychological disorders, who improved or eliminated them on a carnivore diet.
A datum is the singular of data. This is one datum. The experience of many other people on a carnivore or no-sugar keto diet is an improvement in dental heath.
I follow a carnivore diet, on which I dropped 70 pounds and halted my internal inflammation. So no sugar or plants.
6 months in, I went to the dentist. The hygenist was doing her thing. The dentist walked in and asked "So how is he doing with his flossing?" The hygenist said "Perfectly - he'd been keep it clean between his teeth, there is zero build up and his gums aren't inflamed any more". But I had not brushed or flossed once.
So plants and sugar that promote inflammation also contributes to the tooth decay. This is n=1 supportive evidence of that finding.
>It has some significant disadvantages for an expensive vehicle. The pickup you can't put an 8x4 sheet of something in.
There are plenty of expensive ICE pickup trucks that you can't put 8x4 sheets in. I had a full size F350 with full cab and long bed. It was huge compared to most things and most car parking spots.
If I were to get a pickup again, the 8x4 thing would be a prerequisite, whether ICE or EV.

For the leaf, I understand that their problem was that the car was so quiet that you heard wind noise that would otherwise be drowned out by the drive train noise. Hence the bug eye light covers, which deflect the wind to minimize wind noise inside the car.
But in general, I agree, they need to learn to make them look normal. The new leaf looks a lot better. The Teslas look ok, but most others are plain ugly.
I'm more included to congratulate Nissan and Renault.
Indeed. I could stretch to a Telsa, but I chose to pay for a used leaf at a fraction of the cost. Still so much better than an ICE car for my short commute and day to day use. Making efficient cars that are available to most people is good work.
That was my follow on question - the things are flying around bumping into each other and merging. So intermediate shapes are needed during the merger. I presume they oscillate like anything else would for a while after. At least I feel a little less ignorant than I was two days ago.
Did it grow, or did it come into being at the size it is? Are we seeing the cruft around an age 0 core, or is something else going on that I haven't understood?
We see things close to the event horizon slow down and come to a complete stop when they reach the horizon.
So just before a black hole forms, stuff as seen by an outside observer slows down. The instant of formation of the hole, everything at the horizon is stopped.
So from the outside view, all we see is an image that is asymptotically approaching the state of being a black hole. It can never get there.
Tell me why I'm wrong. I'm no physicist, they're taking photos of thing and I'm wrong about lots of things.

What the hell are you talking about? Turning on a laptop doesn't prove ANYTHING about whether or not the device is a bomb. If it turns on it could either be a bomb or not. If it doesn't turn on it still could be a bomb or not. It proves absolutely nothing except for the fact that it's a laptop that turns on (or not). It's nothing but security theater. If you want to check if a laptop is a bomb, you need tests that actually can verify the presence (or absence) of explosives.

I wonder how much plant-based inflammation is due to pesticides.
A lot. The vast majority of the insecticides in plants that we consume are naturally evolved chemicals called lectins and they do all sorts of harm.
The need for fiber has been thoroughly debunked by scientific research and the experience of many.
Try it and you will see for yourself that in a week or two you will be enjoying properly formed poops.

OK, but how did the outside view of the hole ever get to us? How can a stopped thing (in our reference frame) grow?
Here's my ignorant argument:
We are outside of the black holes we might see.
We see things close to the event horizon slow down and come to a complete stop when they reach the horizon.
So just before a black hole forms, stuff as seen by an outside observer slows down. The instant of formation of the hole, everything at the horizon is stopped.
