eventually, when the ability to produce that insulin craps out, then the blood sugar goes up and the the doc will worry about pre-diabetes.
No exactly. Type 2, the kind everyone has who was actually born with a functioning pancreas has, is not a failure to produce insulin so much as a failure to process it. It is called insulin resistance. There is actually so much insulin being pumped out that the liver gives up and the insulin receptors become less receptive. In response to this, the pancreas pumps out more insulin and you get a nasty feedback loop.
Same experience, here. Doc says your A1c is 10, here come the drugs. I say give me 90 days. After 90 days, zero carbs, a little fasting, and fewer pounds, that number was under 6. Keep up the good work.
For anyone on the high blood sugar train wreck, which is a least half of Americans, a low carb diet should at least be considered. This is not junk science; every study you can find supports this. However, healthy diets don't sell drugs.
Exactly. It's not enough to believe in any invisible sky wizard, you must believe in a particular one. If you believe in the one ( Jehovah's Witnesses ) that doesn't like blood transfusions, you're out of luck.
My church is that of the Flying Spaghetti Monster. He doesn't get involved in heathcare, it takes some "all-loving" misogynist prick to do that. Although, FSM does have a thing about ninjas. Where's the anti ninja clause?
Context would mean a lot here. More than just simple double negatives.
I see "good" and I flag a plus. You'd probably filter for "not good" easily enough. How about "it seemed very good at the time, but..."
Positive words are a long way from positive sentiment, and vice versa.
China, huh? Doesn't Mandarin have this thing where the word isn't conclusive without others. "Hao" is good. But you kind of need "hao hao" to be sure. "Bu hao" isn't good, but "hao bu hao" is rather open to interpretation.
"Tiny octopus-like microorganisms named after science fiction monsters"
It's kind of hard to continue reading after that. If you don't grok the difference between science fiction and fantasy, how can I take anything you have to say about science seriously?
Simple, to get coverage in the US you have to play politics with the big telecos. If you don't need that headache, why not avoid it?
In most European countries you just buy the phone and the SIM and off you go. Some of the practices of American service providers are actually illegal in other countries.
Sorry to break it to you, since apparently hadn't noticed before, but when it comes to mobile devices, Americans are used to paying more for less.
Someone mod this up! I couldn't agree. more. University is about education. More importantly, being reasonably conversant on a range of disciplines. The better ones, gasp, still try to offer that.
Focusing on one subject to the exclusion of all else is not a degree. It might be directly applicable to a given job, which makes the exercise job training. You might take subjects that you have no interest in or, more frustratingly, no aptitude for, but that's part of the ride. If nothing else, the reason such education is still valued in the modern world is that it proves an individual has at least the fortitude to tackle a spectrum of topics.
I only did it once. Still, point. Joe User? Non Techie? EveryPC? Person who in prior decades had 12:00 blinking on their VCR?
I literally meant grandma, actually. To be honest, mother in law, but it didn't have the same ring. Though grandpa uses the Ubuntu box I set up for him without issue. Their printers are recognized by Ubuntu, be we've had other things that result in tech support calls ( me. ) Every question about some USB dingus, like a camera or wifi dongle, makes me cringe.
I generally recommend everyone buy Apple. Then they can bother their "geniuses" and not me.
The only real thing that holds Linux back on the desktop is hardware. No so much the actual computer as the myriad of junk people plug into them.
A POS printer from Walmart will run fine on Windows, but not any Linux distro. So many of the external toys that people expect to simply buy and use have zero Linux support. Wifi in particular is tragic.
I use Linux and accept I may have to do a little research to get some PlugAndPray toy that will work. Grandma is lucky if she can figure out where the plug goes. If she plugs into windows, it will usually hold her hand, at the very least say something. If she plugs it into a Linux box, it can be ominously silent.
In other news, cars can't do what they do in GTA and Martial Arts movies get physics wrong. Nearly all entertainment requires a willful suspension of disbelief. Novel concept, no?
LOL, the title and the one liner weren't meant to be connected. I'm aware of the history, but "Cult of the UK's National Protestant Faith" just didn't have the same ring. Various other options are easily dismissed by most Westerners as cults. Assuming a Eurocentric bend, it only makes sense to invoke variants that involve the dead guy on a stick.
While I don't disagree, I can't help but wonder how things would have gone if the statement was "The Anglican church is a dangerous cult." The wording of the ruling basically says this is criticism and is fine. It will be interesting to see this tested.
All negative connotations aside, the only functional difference between a cult and a religion is popular acceptance and usually membership size.
Take the number of man hours devoted to the project by the "talent"; programmers, graphic designers, and this talking head. Figure his time spent on the project. Now, give a fixed percentage of the revenue back to the artists, based on time spent. With even a generous deal, I wonder if this guy would even come close to 100K?
If good code and bad code were a simple automated analysis away, don't you think everyone would be doing it? What methodolgy could possibly give a quantitative weighting for "quality"?
"To my surprise there was no clear winner or loser..." Not really a surprise at all, actually.
The PR rep makes it sound like the dropped call is a favor in compliance with some regulation.
However, another, more self serving and therefore likely reason, is that the person on the dropped line cannot utter the words, "Please take me off your list." The scum also have to comply with that one.
Ok, we have this, um, network, we'll call it a network. ARPANET? Sure. And we'll take a job an run it on multiple machines to get a faster answer? Yeah, that will be great. Now, what do we do with it? IBM says play chess...
Seriously, isn't this pretty much the definition of a distributed computing job? What the hell do they teach at this school? Punch cards? It's not just patent trolling, it's embarrassingly ignorant.
One of New Jersey's newspapers that likes to report government graft maintains a list of all state employee salaries. Doubtless some aren't happy about this, but as a matter of public record, they can't really do anything about it without drawing presumably unwanted attention.
I'm on the list. I've checked some of the numbers for my facility and they're accurate. You're told your information is public record when you're hired. Hopefully it keeps people a little more honest. Doesn't mean crap if it can be hidden away behind some government paperwork maze, though. So, overall, I'm happy the numbers are online.
Which raises the question, what is Claremont trying to hide? And, can they do so legally?

This is obviously a Lex Luthor like ploy to benefit from oceans rising. Utah gets the nod for both long term planning and evil.
And so, because a large amount of money changed hands before the company disintegrated, this makes it acceptable?
Thank you for effectively reinforcing the point of legality, ethics, and money. Enjoy your stimulus package.
Sorry, if half of your list is just Linux distro shoutouts, you fail.
A single linux item is tolerable, though still a cop out. Listing the same distro twice is just highlighting your mediocrity.
Before they chose running mate, I might by this. However, after McCain chose Palin, for better or worse, there was a lot of Obama who?
Collect all political editorials that focus on one side or another and the spin they use. That might actually be interesting.

Put another way, players of EQ2 are more likely to be on drugs. It all makes sense now.
Come on, look at it! "We're off to see the wizard, the wonderful wizard of Oz..."
I live in Jersey. If the level of service here is considered to be in the Top 5, the rest of you lot are screwed.
The method seems pretty wonky. Just one brilliant guy on some rarely used software took the test they could skew the thing in silly ways. Amaya rules!
