Not to mention it's been at least 4.5 million years since a human ancestor was last a frugivorous ape.

Certain hard cancers are known to depend on blood sugar for growth as they can't metabolize anything else. It makes sense that a keto diet, therefore, would slow tumor growth, and I've heard of oncologists recommending it. Keto diets prevent prevent elevated blood sugar naturally. It's not a silver bullet but when it comes to cancer you've got to take every advantage you can get.

My ex was raised in the FLDS. They were taught to perform fellatio on bananas in school. Notice I didn't say homeschool because they set up their own private schools. Even so - she could read. Despite this, public schools have well-documented results by the score:

And the list goes on. Several of these articles cite a rate of about 20% of adults in the US being functionally illiterate, with about one third unable to read above a 5th-grade level.

If homeschooling produces better results than that, then I'm all for it. Again: Kids need individual attention which they can get more readily in a homeschool environment. In large institutional public education systems, they just get "passed along" as they may be one of 30+ students in a class, and one of 5+ classes a teacher has. Public school teachers don't have enough time in a week to spend one-on-one time with each of their students. In the 90s my high school had class sizes of 35+ and I'm sure it's worse now in some schools.

>There are plenty of illiterate people in the US.

And I don't think you can produce a single example that was homeschooled. Public education is notoriously inconsistent and frequently produces children that haven't met minimum educational requirements precisely because it lacks the individual attention kids need.

I learned to lose weight by eating more fat.

Or there's the layman's refutation of CICO: Poop burns.

And that doesn't even begin to account for how much mass we eat which is utilized structurally or excreted without being exhausted. CICO works for thermodynamics, not dieting.

Unfortunately you're not arguing for what you think you're arguing for. Food is not metabolized via combustion. However there is a way to measure the energy the human body gets from food and that's to measure the amount of ATP generated by the metabolism of a single molecule of the constituent parts of that food. And it turns out this doesn't track calories very closely at all. I'm fact, fat produces nearly 2x the ATP we would expect, except in the absence of oxaloacetic acid, in which case it produces a mere 16% of the expected value, implying that utilizing OOA for things like glycogen production can force your body to burn loads of fat for the same metabolic output, completely invalidating CICO.

Well Lake Tahoe supplies the drinking water to much of Northern Nevada and Northern California. If the lead is improperly shielded or shielding has eroded then it's a pretty straightforward journey from there.

Goroutines are non-blocking. Channels may not always be, however.

I believe this is the page you're looking for: https://www.amazon.com/stores/page/0920BDAE-2CCA-43D5-A91F-B...

On the contrary: I've seen more companies succeed despite their management than because of it.

I think he's saying the JavaScript nag message every time you visit one of these sites is annoying.

Yeah, I'm about to jump ship too. They're decisionmaking has been poor for the past couple of years.

I switched from Motorola to OnePlus after the former began shipping bloat ware by default. There's a little bloatware in OnePlus but it's not too bad.

US Sugar and Domino, if memory serves.

Literally yes. Every Starbucks in California has a little placard with that stupid warning to the point where people tune it out.

Sand is not a different physical form than that which causes cancer. (See: toxic silicosis) Often it's dosage that leads to concern. A typical walk on the beach will not result in cancer from sand exposure.

Bioavailability isn't the while story: some foods can be too bioavailable (and not great for you when consuming too much) such as sugars which can cause your body to form inappropriate hormonal signals and disrupt normal satiety. (Looking at you, fructose!) Additionally, there are literally thousands of antinutrients, toxins, carcinogens, and endocrine disruptors that simply aren't accounted for in normal nutritional analyses.

You can learn a lot about an engineer by asking them to implement a linked list.

Perhaps we could implement some sort of standard switches, such as --locate-conf for reporting which configuration file(s) are being read (and in which order) or --show-conf to produce a comprehensive list of set configurations.

Wonderful presentation. What's not clear to me is what the percentage at the end of the game represents?

Not a great look, Amazon.

Lot of people here urging you not to. I think your goals aren't really clear from this post, but I'll add my input as someone who dropped out of high school and presently has a successful career: Working instead of going to college was a massive boon in my life and put me at an economic advantage relative to my peers. There have been drawbacks: I can never get a job in heavily-regulated industries such as health care or finance. And I had to be a lot more self-reliant, freelancing to build my resume and reputation. But I was able to build my career and have four more years of work experience while my peers started their careers later and with a massive load of debt. So if you're going to leave school I'd recommend you immediately find a job in your field and work on your own project on the side. Working on my own projects never paid the bills but I never regretted having work experience.

I requested my data from Reddit under CCPA I highly suggest all of you do as well

Several logins from '127.0.0.1' attributed to my account: Reddit staff logs in and performs actions as users without their knowledge or consent.

> Personally, I can't imagine a single moderator on Reddit continuing without being paid.

Unfortunately, many of them are: Just not by reddit. Commanding the attention and eyeballs of in some cases millions of users is a big opportunity, and there are countless shady hangers-on trying to cash in on personal or financial relationships with reddit moderators. If every current reddit mod quit, the platform would only be overwhelmed by financially-motivated hucksters at an accelerated rate. And frankly, that's what reddit is encouraging by not supporting the moderators that actually give a shit about the platform and not their own pocketbooks. This will only accelerate the decline of quality of reddit.

I love keyword moderation. I love finding ways to demonstrate to those using it that it's futile by using only non-offensive words to thoroughly offend people. I was given a talking-to by a game administrator once for naming a match "Your granny rides my throbbing purple rod." It didn't contain any no-no words, though!

The majority of complaints here really only apply to the golang ElasticSearch library and not ElasticSearch itself. Golang pretty much sucks when it comes to dealing with unstructured JSON.

The silence is deafening.

Wrong. Limes do prevent scurvy. However the British Navy at that time failed to distinguish between limes and key limes, believing them to be the same fruit. Key limes have very little ascorbic acid (vitamin C) and they were further processed and stored in a way that eliminated what little vitamin C they had.
