yeah it's a protein diet, like Atkins but balanced rather than faddish.
False. Sorry.
Eating a lot of protein will not put you into ketosis. Excess protein converts to sugar.
To get into ketosis, you need more than half your diet to be composed of animal (saturated) fats. Atkins and ketogenic/low carb are not the same things and they don't have the same starting intention. Atkins is about weight loss. Many of us eating low carb diets have little interest in body image and a lot of interest in feeling healthy, awesome and effective. -The fact that your body happens to look good when you feel healthy and awesome is a nice secondary benefit, but that is so utterly not the point.
Also, human cells have the ability to burn sugar, but they burn animal fats much more efficiently, with much greater energy payoff per molecule. If you are interested, you can study the biology of mitochondria to learn more about this. (It's really cool; made science fun again. Human cells are awesome!)
Interesting side note: most of the pathogenic bacteria you encounter can only burn sugar. So when you eat only fats.., well, you get this automatic, base level of immunity in that bugs have nothing to eat.
ALSO.., (still trying to verify this one), according to one book I read, the heart muscle can *only* burn fat. -If true, then this would might suggest a lot about heart disease.
Is it just me, or is this whole thread making you feel nostalgic for the good ol' Slashdot days when we gabbed about stuff that was a lot more fun to gab about?
Linux and open source, baby!
Whoa.
Did we live through our very own hipster 60's freedom-power revolution without realizing it?
Or you could just use my secret formula which came to me in a sweat lodge fever dream, to convert all your data to a decimal number string, locate its position in Pi, and you're done. For eternity.
The best part, I thought, would be the ability to retrieve work I hadn't even completed yet. But there's a wiggly bit of formula necessary which is evading my thoughts, so that hasn't worked yet... Also, I think I might get in trouble if I succeeded.
Love this. -Though your Venn Diagrams are a bit abstract.
You don't have to be an armed, bible-bearing right winger in order to reject consensus insanity. In fact, such people can be accused of simply preferring different brands of consensus insanity.
It takes real steel to reject all forms of madness.
It has to do with stopping the psychopaths who see weak people as prey, who rape and hunt undocumented or abducted children for sport. -With cross bows, or running them down in cars.
It's not about sex with these scary elite creeps. It's about psychological torment for fun, and later, gangland style black mail leverage to keep the system in a state of evil status quo.
I agree. I use adrenaline all the time. It's called, "Coffee".
Adrenaline is also super useful when avoiding wolves and trucks and chasing soccer balls. And anger, so long as one recognizes the various flavors it comes in, is a very useful way of determining what direction to move in.
-Promises of all the same results as QM, but without the nagging wooo.
Or so I've read.
Isn't the whole point that you don't know if the cat is alive or dead, and no matter how smart your calculations, you're never going to get an angle on the answer until you open the stupid box.
Seriously; the race for the Quantum Computer seems a whole lot like the search for perpetual motion using magnets and Lego, -but with billion-dollar investment and nobody laughing. No wonder science geeks are so petrified of tin foil. They constantly fall for the dumbest stuff, and it takes generations to figure it out.
The problem is that in our society, we are bathed in countless stress-causing events which were not around during the millions of evolutionary years we spent not having to deal with 8 to 5 cubicle work, tax time, propaganda and traffic congestion when you're late. -Stressors which cannot be effectively dealt with by Fight or Flight responses.
It's useful to have some tools at our disposal when dealing with these (very) new day-to-day pressures.
Did they take into account that people that sit all day might also be sipping on high sugar drinks all day. I can't imaging that just sitting increases risk of diebetes by 90%. I'm sure there are other factors involved.
Thank you for bring up this point. It seems obvious, and yet...
I can see some validity to the "Sitting for extended periods is bad for you" argument. -Even when lying in bed for 8 hours a day, (well, those of us fortunate enough to be getting proper sleep), involves naturally shifting around rather than just lying down in one position.
I find I'm naturally a bit squirrelly when seated at my work desk. I'll often find myself perched on the chair cross-legged for periods of time or in other weird positions, (along with just regular 'sitting'). I don't know if that's good for me, but it feels right.
The vagus nerve does a lot of really cool things which don't get a lot of appreciation.
Cats purr to self-stimulate it. That's what they're doing when they make that noise. And you can do it also. It orders the mind, creating calm and clarity. When you're affronted with terror or high emotion, "pipe breathe" and within half a minute, you're in the zone, able to think and react with calm precision to high-stress situations. And that's just *one* thing.
So yeah, let's allow big pharma to cyberman our core nervous apparatus for something as incredibly stupid as a weight loss gimmick.
Looks like *some* kind of electronic army is out in force.
In other news, the French police arrest 54 people for trying to exercise free speech. -Right after that big Charlie march.
It seems speech is only free when you're dehumanizing a group of people considered unpopular, but speech is NOT free when your comments target the untouchables.
Or as Voltaire put it:
"To learn who rules over you, simply find out who you are not allowed to criticize."
I've been trying to work out who really performed these attacks.
It's a damned swamp, I tell ya!
The so-called electronic armies have affiliations and political views all across the map. Some are obviously working in concert (albeit at arms length) with governments, others are indignant kids yabbering about "Victory is assuredly ours!" who haven't got a clue about what is really going on.
Others are just crazy-sounding chumps easily motivated by whatever controller happens to be poking their buttons. Lots of self-righteous people with some computer skills acting on too little information. Much like those millions swarming through Paris chanting, "Je Suis Charlie!" When they should be asking, "Cui Bono?" (Who Benefits?)
As such...
I would be very surprised if the CIA and Israeli intelligence were not heavily involved in this as well. Talk about a great opportunity to invisibly fan the flames! Pouring more gas on the French fires with no way to track back.
And what a success! Just look at the prevailing tone of the comments here.
It's a Zionist wet dream.
How many of you will happily look the other way when Israel decides to kill another bunch of people on the West Bank? Or if the US finally bombs Iran on their behalf?
This whole thing is a complete mess of cross-purpose Stupid and gleeful intelligence agents enjoying a late holiday gift to themselves.
If you are not With the Regime, you are Against the Regime.
Write an insightful blog? Speak too loudly at the local cafe? Hell, post something on Slashdot...
Boom! Now you can be shot down in cold blood and the government can spin any story it wants because everybody will believe it sight unseen.
Welcome to yesterday. Which of your neighbors do you think needs to be killed in the middle of the night for holding anti-government views? (You know, for thinking things like, government ministers shouldn't rape children at so-called "Pink Ballets".)
That's not exactly a ringing endorsement for why the pro-vax side should be respected.
"Believe what I believe or I'll kill you."
Yeah. People who think that way are exactly the sort who should not be listened to, and for directly related reasons cannot seem to understand why anybody would question their values and assurances.
Authoritarian followers believe what they are told, and the authorities of this world are either psychopaths or more authoritarian followers conned by the former.
Another big event which came along in the 1940's was vaccination.
Crushing up the spinal column of a polio victim, injecting it into the brain of a monkey, (which then amazingly suffered paralysis and death), was enough to convince doctors that they had found the virus responsible for polio. -They hadn't; there is no polio virus. Polio was caused by pesticides in -everything- including DDT pre-soaked wall paper of children's bedrooms; all the polio outbreaks happened in the summer months when spraying was happening, and in regions where spraying was happening. And everybody knew it was a toxic response, but a few asshole opportunists were able to sell the virus story and divert millions of dollars in tax money to their pet research projects, thus beginning the billion-dollar virology field.
Anyway... Virologists then took the resulting isolate ('purified' by injecting the stuff into an animal, and taking their juices and injecting it into the next animal), and grew batches of it on crushed up monkey kidneys obtained from Africa and Asia.
They then injected this stuff, (contaminated with all the random genetic crap and other viruses you might expect when you crush up monkey organs) into millions of people. -And promptly killed a number of them in the process. Big scandal, all on record.
In the following years, cancer spiked, they 'cured' polio, (actually just renamed the disease 'meningitis', which jumped in case incidents as much as polio went down), and they stopped spraying the suspect pesticides. But.., damage done. Cancer was on the way, they knew it, and the president and the medical community panicked.
My guess is that they needed something to blame for the fall-out. Tobacco looked like the right candidate.
Basically, "Modern industry and corrupt medicine" causes cancer. But since those two things are apparently indispensable components of our modern world, it had to be pinned on something else.
Also, nicotine is one of the few (only?) drugs which sharpens thinking, causes better memory retention while relaxing fight/flight responses, it probably seemed like a good idea to get everybody off the stuff while trying to pull that amount of wool over the public's eyes.
Yeah, that's actually about as close to completely backwards as you're likely to get.
Ukraine is currently ruled by murderous thugs. Actual Nazis. -Self-described, mind you. Take a look at how Ukraine's sitting government deals with those who disagree with it. (Warning; extremely disturbing images).
Ukraine is bankrupt and the infrastructure is currently rated as being worse than Palestine, (as hard to imagine as that may be), but that's what you get when psychopaths take control of a country.
-That's the government which was installed by and is being supported by the West. Remember the leaked phone call between Nuland and Pyatt where they discussed installing Yatsenyuk as prime minister? -A massive revelation, though the press artfully focused its attention on the 'outrage' that somebody said, "Fuck the EU" in the message rather than on the mind-blowing fact that US power players were talking about casually by-passing a foreign nation's democratic processes to install their preferred leader. -Which they bloody-well did!
Crimea was very happy to get the hell away from that luncay, from psychopathic rule, fear of their own government and starvation during the Winter months. Luckily, Russia hasn't entirely left Ukraine to blow in the wind as they've been sending regular convoys of relief supplies to the stricken populace. (Much to the West's dismay.)
That's a taste of the real world which lives beyond the propaganda machine which would have you believe that up is down and evil is good.
None of the Western accusations against Putin or Russia have panned out.
The situation with Ukraine reads like a tragic comedy of public relations errors. Remember when Russia was supposed to have shot down an air liner? Or when they were supposed to have invaded Ukraine? Or how they rigged the referendum in Crimea? (All of which turned out to be provable nonsense.)
Washington is grasping at straws in their bid to maintain their control of a distant continent. Though I suppose it may still work if enough people continue to buy every hysterical bogus claim floated by the Western media circus.
In other words, you're aligned with the real goons in this equation. Maybe you should stop and reconsider things from a larger perspective.
1. The relevant law is qualified thusly: "I. Mental and behavioral disorders (in the presence of chronic and prolonged mental disorders with severe persistent or painful symptoms[...])"
2. WHO, and the ICD-10 isn't Russian. It's an international directive which has classified homosexuality as a mental disorder.
If the world doesn't like it, then it is quite within the power of the world to change the designation.
Almost smacks of a bit of "in yer face, you hypocrites" doesn't it? I wonder if that was intentional?
The CD-10 is an international standard WHO document.
If the world is so hung up on this, then perhaps they can take it upon themselves to remove homosexuality as a mental disorder from their own book of definitions.

They set up the same experiment, but do NOT put the shield in place, so as to facilitate the discovery in our brane.

Many top level elites deserve to be dragged from office and put in jail forever.
And not just for these crimes, but for basically everything which is wrong with the world today.
But this sort of corruption reveal might just trigger the kind of revolutionary anger needed.
I hope Anonymous has thought about lots of protection plans, because this will get bloody and dirty fast if they start to pick up momentum.
Things to look for:
