I think it's part of being a celebrity, you wind up becoming a bit cuckoo.
Mmm, clearly not an evolutionary anthropologist, so bear with me..
But we evolved bipedalism, complex-vocalization, huge brains. Developed complex social structures etc etc
All of those point towards hunting, don't they?
But your example about breastmilk though is just nuts.
Infants consume milk because we're mammals. It's part of the definition of 'mammal'. It's very very very high in cholesterol. Which coincidentally is largely what the brain is made of.
Ergo, we ate a plant based diet. because as we all know, plants are very high in cholesterol. Rather than meat and fat which is made of ??
Gut length... look at other apex predators... they also typically have small stomachs. It's the herbivores that require longer digestive tracts to fully extract nutrients from food sources that are not as nutrient dense as meat.
I'm not huge on random apps and such, i just want a smart phone that i can do web browsing, check email, and that's pretty much it..
But barring a wide variety of apps in the palm ecosystem (not exactly the device's fault), the device itself was pretty top notch. I Liked the physical keyboard and sliding mechanism.
The OS it self was also pretty damn good, responsive, easy to use.
Not sure why WebOS got so much hatred honestly.. it's a shame HP absolutely fucked it up.
it would be absolutely fantastic for them to try what they're suggesting.. One month,with nothing but 3k calories per day of mountain dew, and whatever non-caloric vitamin supplements they wish.
if it's as simple as they claim, they'll lose/gain a uniform amount of weight based on their TDEE. This might work for the very young; the CICO equation will be mostly accurate. (insulin sensitivy/resistance is still probably working well)
Already obese, or older than late 20's or so? Nope, they'll get fat(ter), with zero energy and motivation for anything physical.
Someone doesn't have to be part of a 'keto circle jerk' to be wary of sugar and excess carbs. Surely there's a reason the body tries so very hard to maintain a low level of blood glucose (several teaspoons-- or table spoons? either way, ridiculously small amount). Maybe because it IS toxic at higher concentrations? But that is precisely why insulin is released -- to drive down that blood glucose level.
Given that mechanism though, does it make sense why a diet that includes 64+ ounce sodas laden with sugar might be a health risk?
But frankly, the fatter (metabolically deranged) someone is, the better they'll do on a low carb diet (and i'd wager it's the only thing that will truly help them long term).
But as for '..largely fruit based diets'.. think about that statement please. Fruit is NOT available year round naturally. What did early humans eat, in the 10 months out of the year that fruit wouldn't have been plentiful? Hominids were all over the god-damn place well, well before agriculture and food preservation were developed.
Our ancestor's diet was probably meat, nuts, tubers, fruit/berries/veggies (in that order).
Google is dangerous, too big, too influential, too invasively creepy.
In some dystopian future, people will think back on events like this and say "Why didn't we see all of this coming?" Right before the telescreen interrupts with the tune calling for morning calisthenics.
what's to stop logitech (or whoever) from making a keyboard / mouse that allows programmable functions?
Even from a hardware perspective : push this to start recording, hit your buttons, push record button again to save macro. Lots of PC hardware allows that, without any software intervention for recording.
you do realize that trying to forcibly quell a viewpoint or movement is akin to putting a fire out with gasoline.
The only way to get them to actually go away is to ignore them completely. A speaker labeled as a white supremacist comes to speak at campus? Let them, so long as they aren't actually inciting violence directly.
If the only people who show up are the their supporters -- which despite all the hand-wringing consist of a vanishingly small number of people (especially relative to the fervent left-leaning types, particularly on college campuses). That will do much, much, more in the long run.
These people thrive on the controversy, they thrive on near-riot situations breaking out when they come to speak; then they get to cry "oppression", and gain even more supporters.
It is funny though, the extreme left has some appalling rhetoric of their own -- yet the seemingly get a free pass in the US. It takes some amazing double-speak and mental gymnastics to not notice the double standards.
basically comcast nee xfinity (they married the devil, it works) piggybacks a separate wifi access point onto all of their leased modems that allows other xfinity subscribers to connect to them using their xfinity credentials. The ultimate effect is for any given area, you have dozens of fucking xfinity hotspots.
The networks/bandwidth are supposedly separated, but I don't trust xfinity to not fuck it up. Nor do i want to lease a modem/router from those people. But many people do, and there you are.
you're trading one kind of clutter (physical) for another (software)
use the apps on a smart TV and tell me they are well-written, response, usable apps. They're all coded up with the same level of technical skill as the mother fucker who wrote the instruction manual (probably the same person actually)
That's probably not as far fetched as you might think. What is to stop LG or Samsung to make a deal with xfinity for that kind of access? Those god damn Xfinity routers are everywhere.
Besides, there is something to say for giving your smart TV some latitude. Mine for example; has a job (consumer behavior monitoring agent: pay is dick, hours suck, but at least it can work from home) -- not sure about paying taxes though.
Sadly though, getting it to chip in on rent is a no-go, every-time I bring it up it just gives me this blank stare and just shows "I Love Lucy" re-runs while refusing to acknowledge the remote control.
I'd prefer it if the retailer and I went our separate ways after i give them money for item(s).
I really don't need a detailed list of my purchases persisting for all eternity, and used in annoying attempts to entice me to buy more shit in the future (which i more than likely don't need to begin with.)

why did you post this as AC good sir? it's intelligent and cogent, and precisely correct.

Hi Gary! When yer next book coming out? I really liked both 'good calories bad calories' and 'why we get fat, and what to do about it'

I like owning things, vs perpetually renting them.
everyone's done something illegal at some point or another; a TLA would just need to have the motivation to look hard enough to find it.
That lack of motivation and interest is the only thing keeping you safe.

Depends on what you want to say :)
Simple choice then, when you sign up give THEM a noreply@somedomain.com address. Win/win.
I think they tried that defense in Nuremburg. It didn't go over so well.

it's like the STASI never even existed. That's what facebook would become.
Anyone who thinks a company should be allowed to trademark a particular wavelength of light. It's on par with trademarks on genes found nature.

Tell us about the future, what's 2026 like?

Yes, it's called a master's of business administration.

Asshole.
Fair enough, fair enough.
