I think it's a newer thing. Our family didn't have much money while i was growing up, so we never drank soda (contrary to popular opinion, coke is more expensive than water). Even poor people now seem to have lots of money for coke.
Fat cells require energy (ie, stored caloies). So as the amount of fat cells decrease, so does your required intake to remain constant.
A 500lb person, say 400lb fat and 40lb muscle would require 4600 calories/day to maintain that weight. If they went on a 1,000calorie/day diet, they would have a 3,600cal/d deficit and would be losing ~1lb/day. After 1 year, say they are down to 200lbs and still consuming 1,000 cal/day. At this time they have 40lbs muscle and 100lbs fat. To remain constant, they would need 1,600cal/day, so their deficit is only 600cal/day, about 1lb/week consuming exactly the same amount of food.
Basic thermodynamics puts absolute limits though which is what people are talking about here. You can't gain weight by expending more calories than you consume without violating known physical laws. A calorie (kcal for practicality) is 4184J is 1.162 wh. If you expend 1wh of energy and absorb 2wh of energy, that extra 1wh of energy has to be accounted for. How your body deals with it from person to person may vary, but you can't alter that fact.
Basic energy requirements of cellular metabolism is 2,200kcal/kg for fat cells and 3,300kcal/kg for muscle per day.
That's 25wh and 38wh/kg respectively. A 100kg man needs about 2.5kwh of energy per day to stay alive. Or the same as a 100w light bulb (as seen in The Matrix).
I don't know. Maybe launch it into orbit and perform satellite repairs without having to send astronauts and a few days of limited support equipment. Maybe do an upgrade to Hubble instead of crashing it in a few years. Or maybe jwst if something is broken rather than scrap it. Who knows, it they can be made reliable, inexpensive enough, include a copy on every dangerous remote station so if something breaks, have a technician vtelnet into the device to try and fix things remotely before sending expensive and gooey people.
Send it to the bottom of the marianas trench and have it live down there. Have three shifts of oceanographers 'living' underwater 24 hours a day and going home at night. Maybe in a generation or two of upgrades later, add in some semi autonomous capability to account for transmission delays and have a small army of of these things walking across the moon or Mars for a fraction of the cost of sending a single person.
come to our universities and kicked the ever living hell out of African Americans
This is important and I don't know why it's rarely brought up. The people I knew in Africa (Tanzania) hated blacks from the US. They also considered them white as black/white was a money thing and not skin color.
I've been a member of the AMA since 1982, would that count? I once stuck a camera on a kite in the 6th grade. Back then, people would never have considered shooting it down.
this is a more practical way to proceed. Autonomy is only necessary where communication is unreliable, degraded or not possible, a subset of useful applications
If everyone got the same grades in school how hard would everyone work? Personally, I work as hard as I'm able to on everything, but a huge percentage of people would take it as an opportunity to party more (no need to study for a test if you get the same A as everyone else).

Wasn't the LHC built, at least in part, believing the Higgs Boson existed and that they would find it given the design?

When I used to lift weights, I had to eat 5,000kcals a day to maintain my weight of 180lbs.
But it does not change the fact
That same shirt costs $15 made on a power loom
Or $2.44 and you have to walk no farther than your front door.
How do you explain skinny people from Asia who consume a large portion of their diet through rice calories?

Electric cars have been around since the mid-1800s
From what I've read lately, that's new enough for slashdot.
If I was really welcome on your lawn, you'd give me your address.

Why do you think that female participation in ham radio is ~13%. A number that is fairly consistent in all countries over all time?

with heavily overlapping views and policies.
With such a broad spectrum of humanity and many elections being decided by 49.999 to 50.001 victories.
I really believe that you should start taking your Seroquel again.
In 20 years, we could have artificial wombs.
I'm no sociologist, but i've noticed that of most people. Especially over topics where one can arbitrarily or easily pick sides.

Is walmart really hard work (I don't know I don't go there), but seems easy compared with something like being a landscaper or farmer.
This is why you put on your kid's oxygen mask before your own. And if you don't, you're not it to be a parent.
As with most things, Internet can help.
If they really wanted to show their leadership, they would switch to metric time. No more backwards american time. Half hour, really?
