  2. Re:Wrong way on Mice Given an Experimental Gene Therapy Don't Get Fat (boingboing.net) · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    People could maintain a healthy 2500 calories/day diet with all the nutrition they need, and still lose weight and then maintain at that level.

    Or they could eat four times that and continue to be fat.

    Have you thought about the external & environmental aspects of this - carbon emissions, intensive farming and all that? Shame on you, hand in your SJW card.

    It totally is that simple. It's just that people start whining when you round them up and put them in camps. Waaagh waaagh metabolism waaagh waagh.

    Well, eating more certainly correlates with obesity but "correlation is not causation".

    Well eating less certainly correlates with emaciation.

    But "correlation is not causation". Anorexics run a lot. Auschwitz was full of bulimics, right.

    In some nations people eat to fast ...

    Impossible. Fasting, by definition, means not eating.

    That's bullshit, you don't have to go into starvation mode to lose weight.

    In anarchy (a form of socialism)

    From each according to his abilities; to each according to his needs.

    From each what can be extorted; to each what he can seize.

    I'm failing to see how those are even close to compatible, let alone equivalent.

  8. The mass extinction, known as the "great dying," occurred around 252m years ago and marked the end of the Permian geologic period.

    Mass extinctions often occur at such changeovers. Be extra careful around these times, and check your insurance is valid.

    That notwithstanding, I'm sure some would give it the good old college try.

    I remember talking to a recruiter and he asked me if I had experience in blablabla, which I did, and he said it was odd that it didn't show up. I pointed him to the relevant section and he said that it looked like I'd worked on yaddayadda.

    I told him that blablabla is another name for yaddayadda. He said the software didn't know that, and gave me the advice that if something has synonyms find a way to work all of them in.

    Though this was some time ago, things have probably improved since then.

  11. But why is the air free? Because of nanny-state communism, that's why.

  12. Re:It scales fine when it's a transport system on Luxembourg To Become First Country To Make All Public Transport Free (theguardian.com) · · Score: 1

    You do need to build your cities around it though, which most European cities did.

    With a few exceptions, European cities were already old when horses were invented, let alone buses, trams & underground railways.

    Some of them did get an extensive makeover in the early 1950s, though.

  13. I don't know if it's still there, but there used to be a bus that ran on a cobbled street in Brussels - near the royal palace & the park.

    The thing is, once you've done something with a CLI it's a small step to totally automating it.

    Of course, sometimes you can't remember the command, forgot to put it in your usefulshit.txt file and when you need it again it's dropped out of your history.

    So if anyone knows how to extract the ISBN using pdf2txt (or is it pdftotext - see what I mean) grep and sed, I'm all ears.

  17. I'd like to help but I can't. I tried adding "write a ToDo app" to my ToDo list but I can't because I don't have an app for it.
