Those cars are purpose built for that. You can’t retrofit them easily into another car and maintain the performance. People that I’ve seen that do plaid swaps basically take the plaid and slap a different shell on it. Also, you’re talking a

What exactly does “financially successful” mean? Is this just a vibes thing? By all accounts, making 600k/yr is wildly successful. Very few people who are Gen Z would be making this, as the oldest of the Gen Z cohort is only 27.

Let’s not use thousand year old traditions based on poorly understood nutritional science to guide today’s practices. If you get the majority of calories from bread then you are, at best, eating far from the optimal amount of protein and la

I think that speaks more to your diet than anything else. Regardless of the amount of added sugar, that’s an absurd amount of carbs to be getting just from bread and cannot be particularly healthy, no matter the type of bread.

Unless you're suggesting that the pita bread you threw out was preserved with formaldehyde, there isn't much of a question here. Taking issue with bread keeping its freshness is in-and-of itself no bad. If you have issue with a sp

Why? Are you scared of perfectly good products? If you added preservatives to your bread it wouldn't stale quickly either. Add a small amount of white vinegar to your bread and it will stale much less quickly.

You’d be wrong about that, though. Wonder bread white has 140 calories, 1.5g of fat, 5g of protein, and 29g of carbs for two slices. 5g of claimed added sugar. In comparison, a recipe I’ve used to make very good white bread (the zojirushi r

Again, I’m not saying “all UPFs are safe/healthy”. I’m saying the definition is worthless when you include potato chips and protein bars in the same category.

Lack of whatever mythical micro-nutrition you speak of in bleached white flour is not going to meaningfully make any difference in folks dietary outcomes. It's certainly not what is making people fat, or what is making them crave to ea

Nova makes this distinction already. “Freshly made” bread is considered category 3 (processed). That said, what distinguishes supermarket bread from freshly made bread? Literally the only difference is typically some sort of preservatives,

by Kirby64 2y ago
Nova does not make any judgment on the healthiness of foods, to my knowledge. The problem is that people take the extremely broad classification of UPFs by Nova, infer health detriments, and then cast judgment on the overly broad UPF classi

Adherence to avoiding UPFs, by the current Nova classification, would lead to most people having to radically change their diets, assuming you actually follow the Nova classification of UPFs to a tee. And assuming they're already reaso

From the article: > Even if the results show conclusively that processing, and not just nutrients, leads to poor health, policymakers will face another difficulty: the definition of upfs remains woolly. The Nova classification has no tol

The only thing really in favor of hi-res audio is that is allows you to have rather lazy circuit design. You can have a super lazy 20 kHz -> 48 kHz anti-aliasing filter that is cheap... or you could just properly make a nice 20-22k sharp

by Kirby64 2y ago
Every ADC/DAC used in audio in existence has an anti-aliasing filter, though. The Xiph video even talks about band-limiting signals with the 21 kHz cutoff filter he shows as the example. It's not talked about, largely, because mod

by Kirby64 2y ago
In practice it doesn't really matter. Most good converters have pretty sharp cutoffs on their anti-aliasing filters, so any aliasing is severely reduced when mixed back in to the converter. Sure an aperiodic signal needs infinite bandw

Metabolism changes are metabolism changes. What does the food you eat have anything to do with that, in practice? As far as I can tell, the mix of carbs/fat/protein has little to do with how much your body “compensates” from a sur

Again, food addiction and satiety is a different question than if CICO works. If you can't stop eating and cram too many calories because you eat too many... burgers and potato chips or whatever, that has nothing to do with if CICO wor

What does base metabolic variability have to do with using CICO to modify your weight? The intake is easy to measure. The outtake is empirically knowable by change in weight over time. It’s really that simple.

I think you're trivalizing the ease at monitoring your diet for someone who has never done this before. 'Macros' as a concept is foreign to probably 90%+ of the population I suspect. Unless you go extremely strict on calorie&

Adherence may be a concern for lots of types of carbs, but that doesn't change the conclusion that keto (i.e., very little to no carbs) is worse for muscle retention when keeping caloric content equal. Also, as others have pointed out,

For the average overweight person? I disagree. The average obese person does little to no resistance training, eats very little protein, and wants to lose weight fast so they're not paying for expensive GLP1 drugs for a long period of
