    that depends on too many variables.
    might be that the health markers are only because you are young yet and will deteriorate quickly when you get older.
    might be that horrible health markers would be even worse if you stop eating right foods.

    I lost over 50 kilos when I stopped eating too much meat and I eat a lot of carbohydrates.

      Do you think Canadians and Russians live in fear of global warming?

    You do realise that you sound like Lysenko? His only scintific paper was exactly about how when you keep the plants warm they grow faster. Unfortunately, warmth is not enough, you also need sunlight, and there is not enough sunlight in the north.

    And frankly, I can remember from the last few years of the USSR (1990-1991) that even there global warming in fact started to be a concern.

    Well, at least you can keep track of the things around you in the Pacer. Compare that to the modern cars that use early APC style viewing slots instead of windshields.

    EU pays farmers for not growing stuff because it it produces too much food. There have been surpluses for decades, only recently they have been depleted because of the world market.

    Yes, obviously there are imports, but only in winter time or for exotic fruits.

As a cyclist, I can attest you that standing behind a diesel powered car sucks. Besides, Adblue is only mandatory for trucks/buses.

    So you are suggesting that I create some data on the phone, then put the data through wifi on my PC at home, then put it to a thumbdrive and bring it to work instead of just pulling the MicroSD card from the phone and put it into the card reader on my work PC? I am not quite sure I see the sense of this excercise.

    In fact, I don't see the sense of many of "helpful" posts here. People suggest that I buy a phone lacking certain functionality, then jump through hoops to emulate the lacking functionality. Are you guys business consultants or what?
