You're right, many foods are difficult to digest raw, but it's a matter of severity. Eat enough legumes (the seeds/bean part) raw and there's a good chance of death. Even when soaked and cooked they're still toxic, but then again, so are mushrooms.
Meat is relatively easy to digest raw. I've already mentioned sashimi, but red meat is too. Cooking accomplishes three things: it increases the caloric content, it alters/improves the flavour, and, important to industrial agriculture, it kills pathogens. Cooking, however, is not necessary from a digestive standpoint. Most people have no difficulty digesting a rare steak.
Many grains lack some of the essential amino acids. Carefully combining grains can provide all the essential amino acids. It's more nutritive to let a ruminant eat the grasses/grains and then eat the ruminant (not to mention the energy and input costs involved with industrial crop growing).
When it comes to the toxicity of grains, I'll skip the fungi that may be present. Phytic acid can interfere with the absorption of minerals, including calcium, magnesium, iron, copper and zinc, which are the main non-caloric nutrition in grains. Gliadin, a gluten protein and the cause of celiac disease, is an indigestible protein that gets trapped in the villi of the intestines causing inflammation, even in non-celiac individuals.
The high carbohydrate concentrations of grains wreak havoc on the metabolic system. Here's a good sumary of the trouble with eating high amounts of carbohydrates.
I'd say an ideal diet consists primarily of vegetables. Fruits, while nutrient dense, shouldn't make up a large part of the diet due to the high carbohydrate content. Calories should come largely from fat and animal protein. I avoid industrial agriculture products when possible. The pesticides, fungicides, antibiotics, colouring, preservatives, etc., present are obviously not good for you. Furthermore, much like a poor diet affects human health, so does a poor diet affect an animal's health. Corn-fed animal meat is far higher in omega 6 fats, and far lower in omega 3 fats than optimal. A high omega 6/3 fats ratio in the diet promotes many diseases and should be avoided.
I see no reason not to cook. I simply suggest eating only foods that are okay to eat raw. I would, however, avoid charring food as doing so creates carcinogens.
Well, what's actually good about grains? You can eat boiled western skunk cabbage leaves, too, but I wouldn't want to.
Grains are cheap source of carbohydrate/energy. That's about all that's good about them. They are difficult for all to digest, have poor protein profiles, have toxic proteins, and mess with hormone balance (insulin in particular). They require complex preparation to make them non-toxic, such as soaking or cooking for extended periods. They're a survival food, nothing more. They're certainly not part of a natural diet.
The first few months it took me a while to adapt. But knowing the cause of my symptoms and the pain involved, it simply hasn't been worth it to ever give into any kind of craving. Dining out is certainly the most troublesome area. Steak, fish, and salads are often the solution for me.
I do see your point about missing out on wonderful and interesting foods. I suppose I've gotten used to that, and simply not eating things unless I know what's in them. I'm inclined towards a more natural diet (foods that are edible raw, i.e. fruits, vegetables, meat) so I don't personally feel as though I'm missing out on much. Though even meat can be a pain: you never know if they used filler in that sausage or not.
I agree that an awareness campaign is a far better use of money than further research. The cure is so simple: stop eating grains! Sadly, many still think that it's a childhood disease only, so the question of a celiac diagnosis never even comes up. Furthermore, many cases of celiac are asymptomatic, or with symptoms that don't seem obviously connected to an autoimmune condition.
As celiac is hereditary, there's a very strong chance you have it as well. The arthritic symptoms can be the result of a leaky gut -- a condition that arises when the intestinal lining has been so damaged by the immune system that it is no longer able to keep everything out that it should -- including gluten proteins which may then migrate to other locations in the body. I would very strongly suggest getting tested yourself, as well as getting your vitamins A, B12, D, K, iron, magnesium, calcium, and folic acid levels checked out as they are often deficient in those with celiac disease.
I eat at restaurants often, though what I can eat from the menu is often very limited. Yes, I can eat at friends' houses. They known I can't have gluten, and never was there nothing I could eat. I've never been to Asia, but much Asian cuisine is gluten free.
I cook about half my meals. Of the ones I don't, they're either at restaurants where I know the ingredients are safe, or meals that require no cooking (raw food). I buy very little prepared food. It was never healthy in the first place, never mind the price.
I react pretty strongly to trace amounts of gluten. I buy only natural peanut butter (ingredients: peanuts, salt), french fries, corn chips, and yogurt. Chocolate is tricky as it very often contains wheat as a sweetener. I read the ingredient lists on everything.
Office pizza parties? They order a pizza with a gluten-free crust for me. It doesn't taste as good, but I eat it to be sociable. Birthdays? Well, I just don't eat cake.
I've given up on beer. I do miss Guinness. Sake is fine (unless it's been flavoured). I can't have the soy sauce at restaurants, but I have wheat/gluten-free soy sauce at home. Sushi can be tricky. Sashimi is great. I no longer eat waffles.
I eat lots of eggs. They're a fantastic food. There's no need to eat them in an English muffin.
Souffle I never ate anyway.
Pudding is another thing I've left aside. There is rice pudding, but I don't miss it enough to bother.
On average I spend five hours per week in the kitchen. I can't afford to eat out all the time, and I prefer the more nutritious food I eat at home.
I feel vastly healthier not eating wheat, and eating far fewer grains. Half of it is from no longer suffering from the immunological condition. The other half is from changing my diet to largely vegetables, meat, and fat for energy and aware from bulk carbohydrates. I eat a lot of delicious food.
How much of an impact does celiac have on my life? Day to day, it's not even a nuisance: I simply eat healthy food. At restaurants it's a small annoyance, but there is almost always something I can eat. I just ask.
I'm curious what fund raising for celiac disease is truly needed. As someone with it, it's as simple as not eating gluten, and that's as simple as not eating grains (they're not good for you anyway). The only trouble is eating out or with otherwise unlabelled food.
I hate to reply to myself, but I was wrong-o, too. Opera 10 was the first four digit browser number, 10.00. Three digit browser version numbers have been around forever (mid 90's anyway). Of course, you could always include the build numbers, and in that case, that's been around for long time as well.
Try lactose without gluten. Gluten sensitivity and celiac disease can cause lactose intolerance. I thought I was lactose intolerance for years, but it turns out the real problem was gluten. Like many allergen caused diseases, the symptoms of celiac can worsen over time.
There is no conclusive evidence linking diet to autism, but a poor reaction to food can cause discomfort, and the sensory integration issues associated with ASDs may mean a person feels irritated without knowing the cause. Eliminating the discomfort-causing food can lead to an improvement, much as eliminating any other irritation would. I feel far better by not eating gluten, with more energy and greater clarity of mind.
Yep. Paying more attention to things you're interested in is neuro-typical behavior.
Certainly. The difference is degree. Everyone gets happy and sad, but too much is the essence of bipolar disorder.
I suppose I assume most people can focus largely at will. Based on my observations of others, I tend to have a lot more difficulty in getting focused on something, but when I do, my focus is far more intense (and I'm far more productive). I merely wish it were more consistent, like it appears to me like it is for others. Second to lacking an innate social intuition from having AS, my inconsistent ability to get focused is certainly the thing that affects me most (whether it's from having AS or not).
I much prefer the term aspie to aspergian. Some kind of shorthand must be used in lieu of "a person afflicted with Asperger's Syndrome." I would not be offended if someone used the term aspie at all. As the thread has shown, others may be. I think a lot depends on context. If someone is trolling, then yes, it can be derogatory, but my own default feelings about the term are positive.
It amazes me that so many allegedly long time Slashdot users have fallen so quickly and so hard for a fraudulent fabrication of such laughable proportions. The very idea that a blathering balls of flesh happen to patrol our site, pestering us with obscure, offensive humor--with the same jokes repeated all the time--is ludicrous. Furthermore, it is an insult to common sense and a damnable affront to intellectual honesty and integrity. That people actually believe it is evidence that the liberals have wrested the last vestiges of control of our public school system from decent, Torvalds-fearing Slashdotters (as if any further evidence was needed! Torvalds Almighty!)
Documentaries such as Police State have accurately portrayed the elaborate, byzantine network of surveillance centers that the liberals have spliced into the Internet to spy on law-abiding Slashdotters. Equipped with technology developed by Think of the Children, Inc., these centers have the ability to detect trolling from hundreds of network hops away. That's right, neighbors... the next time you're out in the basement exercising your First Amendment rights, the liberals will see it! These centers are sensitive enough to tell if your mom is home by your surfing habits alone! And when they detect you surfing porn, their computers cross-reference the address to figure out your name, and then an enormous database housed at Berkeley is updated with information about you.
Of course, this all works fine during the day, but what about at night? Even the liberals can't stay up all night and prevent sleepiness from setting in. Thatâ(TM)s where the "trolls" comes in. Powered by Intel, the "trolls" are nothing more than scripted bots, emitting trillions of bits of mindless drivel. Coded by key members of the liberal community, the "trolls" are strategically deployed across the Internet, pointing out those who dare to make use of their Trovalds-given rights to wank at night!
Yes, I know this probably sounds paranoid and preposterous, but consider this. Despite what the revisionist historians tell you, there is no mention of the "Slashdot trolls" anywhere in literature or historical documents--anywhere--before 1997. That is when it was initially launched. When President Clinton, at the State of the Union address, proclaimed "We choose to go to troll Slashdot", he may as well have said "We choose to spawn bots." The subsequent faking of "trolls" posting on Slashdot was the first step in a long history of the erosion of our constitutional rights by leftists in this country. No longer can we hide from our government when the sun goes down.
I wouldn't say it's the reverse. They're more like expressions of the same thing. With ADD, attention is side tracked in many different ways. With Asperger's Syndrome, the attention is stuck on a few special interests. That can work fantastically well if the aspie finds the topic at hand interesting, but can be fantastically awful if the topic is uninteresting. Myself, I have a great deal of trouble focusing on anything I'm not interested in and usually find my thinking returning to my special interest de jour. One trick I use when faced with a boring task is to find a clever or more optimal way to do it, since that challenge can make it more interesting. In either case, the challenge is what makes it easy for me to get in the zone and work at something for hours, but being interrupted while in the zone is frustrating and I'll usually avoid getting in the zone if I'm likely to be interrupted within an hour or two and my output will be low. I often wonder what it's like to be "normal" and to be able to get stuff done while only being half focused (not in the zone).
You failed to account for the fact demand is infinite. The vast majority of people want more stuff, want to do more, and generally want to live a better, easier life. Capitalism (the saving of resources to create productive capacity) allows for this. Robots will not destroy capitalism: they will only increase the efficiency of the systems of production.
The problem lies with those who are either too ignorant or lazy to invest in their own productive capacity. That is, saving and buying things (tool, education, etc.) that allow them to produce more of what society values in the same amount of time, such as tools or education. What society values is simple to determine: it's what society pays the most for.
I don't have much sympathy for those who fail to look ahead. Humans have been doing it for centuries, planning their lives around the day, the seasons of the year, and the seasons of a lifetime. If people would wake up for once, turn off the boob tube, and look around, they'd see opportunity everywhere. If they are willing to work hard and smart where the opportunity lies, success is there for the taking.
Some major trends at play right now are an aging global population, water scarcity, energy scarcity, and raw materials scarcity. It doesn't even take a high school diploma to realize if you prepare for those trends, you will do better than those who don't. Go into a career currently worked by mainly old people. Or figure out how to do something in a way that requires less water or less energy. A simple example is learning how to farm with natural techniques. Farming is a field filled with grey-haired men. Most of them don't have many active years left. Many farms are drying up because they rely on irrigation. Industrial agriculture consumes about 10 calories in energy per calorie of food produced. Using the techniques of permaculture, an able bodied individual can produce all the food he needs, feed a small community, use only rainfall, and use energy only for the initial shaping of the land and transporting goods to market. That's a winner on three major trends right there, and fortunes will be made.
I'm sick and tired of people who blame capitalism for their woes caused by their failure to keep themselves current as any self-respecting individual should. Sadly, those who pay attention and take responsibility will end up bearing the burden of a sycophant society unless they find a way to escape. When society begins to crumble, the walls will go up not to keep others out, but to lock the hard working in. And if the walls don't go up quick enough, society will justly starve.
Try using a faster/weaker SSH cipher like arcfour: ssh -c arcfour host or scp -c arcfour src dst. You will be pleasantly surprised, and it's safe enough if you trust the hosts on your network.
Do you realize how slow a 10 megabit connection is today? That's only 1.25 MB/s. That's only good for maybe half a dozen users, tops. Get a few people watching YouTube, sending files with email, VPNing into the office, and 10 megabit is a joke. Even HD YouTube is around 5 megabit/s.
Personally, I'd allocate 10 Mb per room. 1 Mb per room is probably sufficient today, but it'll be totally inadequate a few years from now. I'd run CAT6 everywhere, and start with 1 Gb/s hardware.
I work in an office of 50 people, and our 100 Mb/s pipe is often saturated. We have a single AP, and it's always saturated. We could probably use 5 APs. Users are really bandwidth hungry today.
