  8. Re:Bull Shite on Study: Body Weight Heavily Influenced By Heritable Gut Microbes · · Score: 1

    Feces are flammable, so you have a misconception that all calories input are "burned" by the body. Using the bomb calorimeter to determine metabolic energy equivalence is a fallacy

    Carrageenan by definition is real food, edible substance obtained from an animal. That is NOT the problem with the american diet.

    Nope, programmers already have made multitudes of solutions over the years for these issues, but they are not in the manufactured products image. That is another realm, and I speak from industry experience

  15. Re:Why not strong passwords? on Website Peeps Into 73,000 Unsecured Security Cameras Via Default Passwords · · Score: 1

    Default, simple or non-existent passwords on consumer appliances have nothing to do with programmers. You are silly. There is another vocation called "manufacturing engineering" that might have a problem
