Comment Wake up, please. Don't save the Earth (Score 1) 123

Facts can be inconvenient and the rush to populate mars (and thereby obviating the need to keep earth inhabitable) is a fools errand. Push by 2 fools, one of which got elected. We really don't need to save the earth, it will be fine. The question is whether it will remain inhabitable.

Comment This sounds a LOT like projection. (Score 1) 396

That story title sounds like one of the elements from the GOP handbook: "Justify a Right leaning bias" by alleging need to combat (pre-existing) "Left leaning bias". Getting sick of this projection nonsense. Maybe it seems left leaning, since the dont know where center is... If all you know is "Trumplicanism", the center appears to be the "Left".

Comment All of your attentions are now belong to us. (Score 2) 173

Commercials started it... going down to 30 Sec sound bites... Now Tik Tok and Insta (etc) have cut our attention span to seconds... Commercials get LOUDER... Visuals get more compelling as our attention span gets abused. Role of facts is being "poo poo"ed by some that seem to want a more controllable, docile populace. Bring back the appreciation for lucidity! Coherency of thought! Bring back the perspicacity that builds on previous strengths. Creating a treadmill of sugary information and compelling-false-need ( "you need this product to be desirable") has not done us well. Seems to center on the worship of money, not contribution to society.

See Attached writes: Here is the SQL statement template that will tell us how much money you are saving us. Not the number of bad records for the population :

SELECT
        p.id,
        p.name,
        SUM(pay.amount) AS total_payments
FROM people p
JOIN payments pay ON p.id = pay.person_id
WHERE TIMESTAMPDIFF(YEAR, p.birthdate, CURDATE()) BETWEEN 140 AND 150
GROUP BY p.id, p.name;

You could fix those records by finding their death date or confuse us into thinking old means collecting. Red and blue alike don't want to pay benefits to dead people. Cut the deception. Prosecute the miscreants and yes publish these facts. Not just "red meat" implying Democrats approve of paying benefits to the dead.

Comment Shows how much they overcharged... (Score 1) 63

Seems like the margin was soooo high..it's less achievable as competition shows up. WhatsApp levels the P2P stuff.... Apple talks to Android with out compromise, as does Android -> Apple. Sorry Apple, welcome to your new peer neighbors. End Greedflation. It's been said before: "Think Different"

Health care is a profit industry with a health side gig. Nothing happen without financial justification. Google Trodusquemine and figure out why this was offed? A cure for metabolic disease?? Remove Atherosclerotic deposits? GLP1 seems an unnecessary financial load on health dollars.

Calories are related to use of a bomb calorimeter. thats observable, scientific, but not relevant to human utilization. Food has potential energy, ultimately boiling down to ATP -> ADP in cells powerhouse, but only if it makes it that far.. Limit the surges of sugar into blood. support your mucin layer with your intake: add fiber. If you can get your carbs past duodenum, and into jejunum, the gut bacteria that makes us what we are gets fed. Something like that... Feed your gut... Eating an orange delivers sugar but also fiber. Drinking Orange juice with only sugar is unrestrained sugar dump into your blood... ChatGPT challenge: "is a bomb calorimeter consistent with utilization of food by the human body" and "Is Dr Lustig right when he says a bomb calorimeter is not consistent with utilization of food by the human body"

Comment Dr Lustig: protect the liver, feed the gut (Score 1) 163

He's a neuroendocrinologist that has logged lots of hours on youtube to help us understand sugar/fat metabolism, and how the food industry has been damaging us for decades. The most salient point is that the day of the calorie is past. Bomb calorimeters relate thermal energy to dietary-sourced energy, which is not relevant to dietary awareness. One real culprit is thought to be fructose as its a toxin to our mitochondria. Glucose will just make us fat. Google the good doctor, and be informed. He advises the medical industry to differentiate LDL into 2 primary constituents - Buoyant form, and the Remnant form... former is less the concern... and the latter ( VLDL?) is the one that is the one to watch. Yeah... i am learning, on the road to better health.. Don't eat food with barcodes. Odd that preservatives keep food from spoiling because its not processed by bacteria. that doesn't turn off when we eat it.. our guts are based on bacteria. Do the math. Things we can improve: relevant blood tests, moving past the stating-for-all (that can push us towards diabetes ironically) targeting the bad things in UPF. Please review and support Dr Lustigs effort - he seems the most altruistic of the on-line doctors. Start googling "lustig ultimate guide" - protect the liver, feed the gut, and support the brain.
