You don't see a lot of infants given Botox injections, and I've never heard of anyone getting a Botox injection against their will. If you're an adult and you want to put one of the most toxic substances known into your body, fine by me. But if you start giving your baby poison, yeah, I think I want you put in handcuffs and charged with endangering your child.
I think the United States will be lucky if there is an FDA. Remember, it's all about deregulation now. Who needs food safety anyways? Only fucking Commies.
Short of wearing full diagnostic gear to test oxygenation levels, blood sugar levels and the like, no calorie counter is ever going to be accurate. As it stands, I consider the calorie counts in fitness devices and apps to basically be voodoo. They don't even really jive to the average calorie tables which are themselves simply averages based on certain kinds of activity and weight of the individual. Frankly, I think the whole thing really is just a load of horseshit. If a device with a GPS can't even get distance within a few hundred feet on identical runs, then so far as I'm concerned it's largely useless, save perhaps as a chronometer.
For myself, I find basically just holding myself to a certain amount of time and distance per day. I can do that with a stop watch. Things like the calorie counting that most devices have are just voodoo fiction that I've found don't even match the very generalized calorie burning tables out there.
You know there are over a billion Muslims in the world, and in actual numbers the group that go around trying to kill lots of people are a very small group. I realize you're a very delicate little snowflake and easily frightened, but what I'm seeing here more than anything else is a complete failure of the education system, as your ability to assess threat seems utterly hampered. It can be amended, however. Start with a basic statistics course.
Early on I felt like I needed some motivation. As it turns out it actually seemed to make exercise more of a chore, so I dispensed with it. If I really want to know things like pace and distance, I can sort that out without a device. As to things like heart rate, does that matter? It's the kind of thing that can turn exercise into a obsessive fixation, as opposed to what it should be, a way to get and stay fit.
Lutherans and Catholics made up the vast majority of German citizens. That the leadership, or at least some of them, were antagonistic to the Church does not change the fact that Germany was and is a Christian nation, and that the bureaucracy, military and ordinary citizens were almost to the man Christians by upbringing and self-identification. Even more to the point, the rampant anti-Semitism in Germany was hardly unique to Germany, and has been a feature of European Christianity since almost the beginning, so even if the senior Nazis were all anti-Christian (which isn't as clear as you say), it's irrelevant. It was Christians who built the gas chambers and ovens, and its Christians who herded millions of people into them. It was Christians that invaded Western Europe and Eastern Europe, and really, WWII was simply a continuation of WWI (which is why Churchill once called the two wars a "second Thirty Years War").
But that's ignoring the rest of what I said too. Peace in Europe, by and large, is a construct of the last 70 years. Prior to that, Christendom was a very bloody and violent place.
My experience with digital fitness devices is that they suck. I run the same route about three to four times a week, and usually in roughly the same amount of time (give or take a minute or two). I get bizarre differences in distance and pace that could only be accounted for by either the earth beneath my feet expanding or contracting, and possibly entering some sort of temporal distortion field.
So 1500 years of near-constant war in Christendom doesn't count as making war? For fuck's sake, it was a Christian nation that killed six million Jews, invaded its neighbors and plunged the world into the greatest conflict it has ever known.
I didn't call anyone a racist, and trying to redefine a word to shortcut actually have to deal with what someone said is, apart from anything else, intellectually lazy
And while Timothy McVeigh, Terry Nichols and Michael Fortier weren't directly associated with any specific group, they clearly had at least ideological ties to a number of the more extremist anti-government groups, so in that respect they resemble a number of the recent Muslim extremist attacks in the US and Canada. So I'd say being a lone wolf attacker doesn't necessarily mean there are not links of at least some kind. The recent group of lone wolves really aren't that different than McVeigh and his co-conspirators; self-radicalized but with familiarity with extremist literature. McVeigh had to work a lot harder than current extremists, because in ye olden days one had to go out and get copies of extremist literature, whereas now you can grab radical literature online.
Does someone need infinitely improving storage technology? Where are you driving to, the Moon? And coupled with other large-scale forms of storage, like solar or wind pumps for dams and various other means of mechanically or thermally storing renewable energy, is there some reason you imagine people will still want to run very expensive nuclear reactors that still require digging the fuel out of the ground at some point. Now maybe someone invents a fusion reactor that can produce a net amount of energy in large enough quantities to be economically viable, and if that happens, well then all bets are off, but in the meantime nuclear is bloody fucking expensive.
Well yes, if you want to believe that the white man is superior, that African Americans, Mexicans and Muslims are subhumans, that women should suck it up when men verbally harass them, or, you know, "grab them by the pussy", that does make you a bigot and a misogynist.
Hundreds of people out of a population over over 300 million. Meanwhile, every day, 90 people die in an automobile accident.
Math and rationality aren't your strong suit, I see. You must be one of those delicate snowflakes I hear about, that's get all panicky when the news reports about TERRORISTS. I mean, how do you keep from wetting yourself?

We read your post. You're trying to defend giving your children a toxin, Mr. Christian Anarcho-capitalist...

Evolution happens even in a relatively fixed environment. If nothing else, you'll have neutral drift.
Thanks, mate, now I'm going to have nightmares for a week!

Well, at least he didn't do something really dire and criminal like tweet about climate change.

If by "history" you mean "I just make this shit up", then I'm not sure what the source would be. Stormfront maybe?

Do you seriously think most Muslim wars of conquest were actually Holy Wars? Next you'll be telling me the Crusades were all about God.

No, a lack of reading comprehension did that. I used the word specifically so people couldn't just dismiss it with "Muslim isn't a race"

And "bigotry" isn't limited to racism.

If the Executive overreacted statutory powers, of course courts can intervene.
Statistically speaking in almost no one's back yards. You'd spend your days more profitably worrying about whether you'll choke to death.
