By "well-regulated militia" the founding fathers meant that individual citizens are trained to use guns, to secure a free state. Free from what? Tyranny and fascism. So, what does "well-regulated" mean? It means that you know how to use that gun to kill tyrants.
When glycogen stores are not available in the cells, fat (triacylglycerol) is cleaved to provide 3 fatty acid chains and 1 glycerol molecule in a process known as lipolysis. Most of the body is able to use fatty acids as an alternative source of energy in a process called beta-oxidation. One of the products of beta-oxidation is acetyl-CoA, which can be further used in the Krebs cycle. During prolonged fasting or starvation, acetyl-CoA in the liver is used to produce ketone bodies instead, leading to a state of ketosis.
During starvation or a long physical training session, the body starts using fatty acids instead of glucose. The brain cannot use long-chain fatty acids for energy because they are completely albumin-bound and cannot cross the blood–brain barrier. Not all medium-chain fatty acids are bound to albumin. The unbound medium-chain fatty acids are soluble in the blood and can cross the blood–brain barrier.[3] The ketone bodies produced in the liver can also cross the blood–brain barrier. In the brain, these ketone bodies are then incorporated into acetyl-CoA and used in the citric acid cycle.
The ketone body acetoacetate will slowly decarboxylate into acetone, a volatile compound that is both metabolized as an energy source and lost in the breath and urine.

Diet
If the diet is changed from a highly glycemic diet to a diet that does not provide sufficient carbohydrate to replenish glycogen stores, the body goes through a set of stages to enter ketosis. During the initial stages of this process, blood glucose levels are maintained through gluconeogenesis, and the adult brain does not burn ketones. However, the brain makes immediate use of ketones for lipid synthesis in the brain. After about 48 hours of this process, the brain starts burning ketones in order to more directly use the energy from the fat stores that are being depended upon, and to reserve the glucose only for its absolute needs, thus avoiding the depletion of the body's protein store in the muscles.[9]
Ketosis is deliberately induced by use of a ketogenic diet as a medical intervention in cases of intractable epilepsy.[7] Other uses of low-carbohydrate diets remain controversial.[10][11]
The presiding Judge Richard Arnold declared Motorola's patent invalid and said it should be revoked because the patent (which has a priority date from 1995, but was issued in 2002) contained technology that 'was obvious to experts in the field at the time.'"
So does that mean that patents on the following will be invalidated as well:

It's far too expensive for mass consumption, not easy to mass produce, and to get this to bring in big money you'd have to be able to synthesize it somehow with process that can be used to mass production.
I disagree. People spend money on gold facial masks:
Now granted those are some extreme examples, but ever notice many women's earlobes have a small greyish spec at the bottom of the piercing? This is from silver compounds being absorbed into the skin. Same thing.
The law of conservation of energy is just that. It's the law. Don't eat you lose weight. How many fat people do you see when food is short? Starving people are not fat. I'm sorry but that is the law.
When your calorie intake is below a certain threshold (variable based on body type, genes, etc) your metabolism will slow way, way down, which can actually cause you to plateau. This is why doctors and dieticians are recommending "cheat" or "splurge" days where nothing is off limits because it keeps your metabolism up by keeping your body from going into that "starvation mode."
I cut down carbs and I feel like SHIT. Within a week or 2 I'm an old man that needs a nap at lunchtime, has headaches etc. I tried to go higher protein and it only made me hungrier.
Sounds like you're doing it wrong - either not eating enough fat for your body to go into ketosis, or you're getting too many carbs despite what you may think. Are you mowing down on peanut butter, pecans, and other nuts or just eating a few a day? If you're eating more than a small handful, or more than one tablespoon of peanut butter, you are getting too many carbs and going into and out of ketosis, which will cause ongoing headaches. What is happening is your brain keeps switching from using glucose and using ketones for fuel.
Cheeses - do you mean soft cheeses like feta, cream, and American? Or, do you mean hard cheeses like cheddar, romano, and parmesan? If you mean soft cheeses, you're doing it wrong. Soft cheese = high carbs.
Cream and milk: are you having more than a couple ounces? For some people, enough cream to make a light coffee is enough to get them to hover in and out of ketosis. Eliminate milk and all cheese from your diet for a week and see what happens.
As far as eating a huge meal and feeling hungry 20 minutes later even though you know your stomach is full - I had this problem for years. My whole life actually, until I tried an elimination diet. I also had ongoing problems with migraines (3-4 migraines per week for about 10 years, about 1 a week prior to that). As it turns out I have a soy intolerance (and mild allergy - turns out my dry skin was hives). Eliminating soy from my diet adjusted my appetite and satiation signals. I now know what it feels like to be satisfied after eating a modest meal, and not be hungry immediately after eating, and what it's like to go months without a migraine. I usually cheat though, but now that I know it's soy causing the problems I can deal with the hunger without overeating.
Do an elimination diet - try eliminating soy first, then try gluten, etc. - try to isolate each major allergen because you might have an intolerance to one of them. You might be surprised. If this is the problem it would be great because it will get rid of the overwhelming feeling that you're not getting enough to eat. Another possibility is your diabetes might be throwing off your appetite/satiety signals. Going no carb and getting your body to turn to metabolizing fat consistently has supposedly cured people of diabetes, so if it is your diabetes throwing those signals out of whack, doing atkins properly might fix that for you, and help you feel less of a need to eat so much.
Yeah, but the $100 generators won't run much beyond your fridge plus a few lights lights. I would never attempt to run modern electronics off of a cheap generator. Plus, I might not even trust one of those generators to run my fridge - new computerized refrigerators are more sensitive to voltage fluctuations than old mechanical-thermostat based fridges that really don't have any electrical components beyond two or three fans and a compressor pump.
Randal Graves: [talking about the second Death Star] A construction job of that magnitude would require a helluva lot more manpower than the Imperial army had to offer. I'll bet there were independent contractors working on that thing: plumbers, aluminum siders, roofers. Dante Hicks: Not just Imperials, is what you're getting at... Randal Graves: Exactly. In order to get it built quickly and quietly they'd hire anybody who could do the job. Do you think the average storm trooper knows how to install a toilet main? All they know is killing and white uniforms. Dante Hicks: All right, so even if independent contractors are working on the Death Star, why are you uneasy with its destruction? Randal Graves: All those innocent contractors hired to do a job were killed - casualties of a war they had nothing to do with. [notices Dante's confusion] Randal Graves: All right, look-you're a roofer, and some juicy government contract comes your way; you got the wife and kids and the two-story in suburbia - this is a government contract, which means all sorts of benefits. All of a sudden these left-wing militants blast you with lasers and wipe out everyone within a three-mile radius. You didn't ask for that. You have no personal politics. You're just trying to scrape out a living.
Because if the panels were running, you have to have somewhere for all that amperage to go, either consuming it with appliances, etc. or going into a big battery bank or a load-shedding device which will convert it to heat.
Who told you that?
I've heard anecdotally that you can trick the inverters with a true-sine wave generator and they will start up, but again if you don't use up all the juice they are making, they'll probably turn your nice generator in the wrong direction and it will fail spectacularly. So I am told. I've also been told it works fine, but I'm not about to risk burning my house down.
Correct; you can even back-feed your home with a portable generator if you make SURE you turn the mains off prior to hooking up the generator. I've done this many times. I've taught friends to do this, but recommend the transfer switch.
When I buy a house I want to install PV so I can run whatever the hell I want 24/7 with a guilt-free conscience. If you're generating your own power from a free energy source and have sufficient capacity, who the heck cares about efficiency (to an extent)?
Unfortunately, most generators in the sub-$2,000 range require an oil change every 12-20 hours of runtime, and burn through a tank of fuel every 5-8 hours. It's not terribly convenient. Flex fuel and LPG or LNG generators are better as you can hook them up to much larger fuel sources, negating the need for multiple refills per day, and they also typically extend runtime between oil changes to hundreds or even thousands of hours.

Do insects even feel pain as we understand it? The brains are very primitive - little more than ganglia.

That's because you haven't experienced hormonal or food intolerance causes for the unsatiated feeling. You have to experience it to understand.

I've always hated 24fps, because motion is so jerky and pans are annoying to watch. For me 120fps and faster frame interpolation was a godsend. :-)
It's not technically necessary for it to function and is a really good solution in a pinch, but it doesn't meet NEC nor local codes.
