Why would one question the existence of God because of an incomplete understanding of God by believers? You wouldn't denigrate Science because these same people didn't understand the science behind vaccinations.
Agreed. I have always wanted a bathroom with central drain and the ability to quickly wash down the bathroom.
Ever live as part of a family? All you'd have to do is move all the towels and electric razors and hair driers and all the other stuff real bathrooms have then hose everything down, wait for it to dry sufficiently, and then replace everything.
Your "European" comparison is valid for the US as well. We have ~50 states that vary quite a bit. Many differences within each state. I, for example, think the US has a lot of problems, many things I hate to see here. But what I see here that I hate is often even more developed in other countries. Countries I where I have friends and enjoy visiting. Dislike American surveillance? Try London (I know, I know, a city, not a nation). Think America is a police state? Try Singapore.
I value liberty more than security. Most of you don't. A totalitarian state is desired by a shocking (to me, at least) number of people in the world.
What I hate about America isn't some dumbass waving a giant foam hand with a finger pointing up and yelling "We're number one!, USA, USA, USA! We're better than the Euro weenies!" That's merely rustic. What I hate is watching my admittedly imperfect country, perhaps the only modern country in the world founded on liberty, becoming *like* the rest of the world, even countries I love to visit.
The incorrect calories in/calories out model doesn't work. Our bodies don't count calories. They store or use fat completely based on hormones. Insulin and glucagon primarily. These hormones are hugely affected by the type of calories, not the number of calories.
And yes I am an expert. I'm a USA Judo coach concerned with keeping competitors literally lean and mean.
I follow my on advice. After decades of eating massive carbs, I weighed around 215 and had terrible lipid panels. 3 years after learning about the hormonal effects of diet, I'm around 175 lbs (less than 81kg), eat several dozen eggs a week, lots of meat and fats. Fabulous lipid panels and feel great. So do other people who eat like me.
The "conventional diet knowledge" is foisted on us by the true fad diet market, i.e., the people who ignore the massive amount of research because they KNOW fat is bad for you. They don't need no steekin' research!
Your understanding is out of date. We are currently using Porcine stem cells and islet transplants to treat diabetes,...
Type 2 diabetes is insulin resistance, not lack of insulin. All a continued and increased insulin flooding does is mask the symptoms for a while and further wreck an already messed up metabolism. Getting the patient to curb carb intake is crucial to reducing the effects of insulin resistance labeled as type 2 diabetes.
Taste isn't everything. Even now I prefer organic grass fed beef to hormone and anti-biotic saturated corn fed factory cows.
There can be a huge range of processes building this beef in the future. If current processed food is a model, this stuff could turn out to suck big time.
Not because of physical necessity but corporate/government decisions.
Many, many people don't have constant contact with a physician. There isn't a steady stream of data being passed from a personal doctor.
I have only occasional communication with the medical profession. I take excellent care of myself and am much more knowledgeable about the things I care about than most doctors. I consult with a medical professional about the stuff in which I don't have expertise and I know which is which.
Other people don't know much about their health, but don't keep up a dialog with doctors either. There is no hope that the average Joe is going to keep up with current medical opinion.
True dat. Really, as an old guy I can back this up. We all had measles, etc. As a rule we never even heard of any real lasting problems. Doesn't mean there can't be any, but in a population where the disease was considered universal, the long range problems were literally unheard of.
If a significant number are dying now because of not being inoculated, something else may be wrong.
Unfortunately, the papers (TV, radio, email) come into your house every day and doctors don't.
It's even more fogged up by the fact that doctors often only really "know" what the drug reps (and insurance companies in the US) tell them even if it's their specialty.
Mass Loaded Vinyl is a sheet of heavy vinyl that is loosely hung to absorb sound. Usually hung in the wall between the drywall layers for appearance sake, would still work just fine tacked on the outside of the wall separating you from your noisy neighbors.
Of course, sound will travel through the ceiling and floor as well.
Same argument supports the second amendment as well. If the Framers intended for me to own an M4, they'd have specified it. No, the principle's the thing here. Do we have a right to privacy in our affairs or not? I read the 4th amendment to say we do. I also read the 2nd amendment to say we have a right to own modern firearms.
The "metadata" is basically the key used to look up content when the dragon awakens to your existence.
I also love how Feinstein, when asked about this massive data collection, side stepped the question and claimed that this was all with congressional oversight. Very clever misdirection of the concern.
We never thought this was a rouge operation. The whole fucking problem is that it *IS* government policy.
Hmm, that analogy doesn't seem very relevant. A Communist dictator who kept himself in power by brutal means and exported all of his country's resources for his own personal gain vs. a democracy with a 2 term president, checks and balances, and media that scrutinizes and publicizes every dump a REPUBLICAN politician takes?
It's because of incompetent management, or at least incompetently managing the development process, that most of the problems occur. I worked in construction before going into software development almost 30 years ago.
You can't build a chicken coop properly, much less a modern house, much less a skyscraper without *really detailed* specs, the bigger the project, the more detail. And everyone buying the building or building it is supposed to realize that any changes are really expensive. How can you tell the client what even a simple structure will cost without knowing a whole lot about what's being built? Even then, with literally thousands of years of practice, construction often has cost overruns or worse, structural problems.
But for software, we almost always pull numbers/timelines from our backsides and almost all software projects just flail on until it's good enough or collapses.
Just making shit up as you go and calling it a methodology is sad.

If they get the poor bastard back in the States, for sure "sysadmin gonna get root" (in prison).

Voila! Labor savings!

Uh, is the article about Egypt or America? It's hard for me to keep track sometimes.
Yes, yes and yes. There is a massive amount of serious research the explains why this is true even if counter intuitive.

In a lot of the world population is actually declining. I'm not sure we *are* going to breed ourselves to death.
This is an insane response to a real problem greatly exacerbated by excessive government in the first place.
I truly believe these boneheads understand this is crap. They want it that way. Healthcare is just a ploy to further the totalitarian state.
This administration is trying to add 10 trillion of new debt in 8 years. Not government spending, but debt over and above spending and collections.
If an American government wanted to build a paradise, a measly trillion dollars would hardly be noticed in the budget.

Holy Moley, in his place I'd be happy to be a lot more insulted, say one a day. 150? Youser!
So she didn't listen to her physician. Sigh...

Store the stable family photos, not the gun collection. Store the happy day at the beach, not the vacation to Malaysia.
Don't actually use it for serious personal stuff.
(My wife has never seen the humor in that statement for some reason.)
>>10% isn't enough to run the government.
Depends on how much government you want to run. I'd like to run very little of the current Federal government.
Take 10% for the Feds with no deductions of any kind. Everybody pays, everybody. Bill Gates and a single mother with kids both pay 10%.
People *will* help each other, contrary to the "progressive" view that only vast bureaucracies are wise and compassionate.
There is vinyl sheeting for just this purpose.
