I didn't say "obesity is caused by behaviour and therefore can't be solved with medication". You're arguing against a straw man. I'm suggesting the idea that maybe we as a society should better educate around

Education may involve "finding a strategy that works for you". There are so, so many different ways to combat disordered eating. These are learnable things. My thought around "better education" is that the cycle of di

From my subjective experience in life, what they very often lacked was parents who set the right examples around food. I know that doesn't apply to everyone of course, but I've witnessed it time and time again - an upbringing wit

This article seems to frame things in such a strange way. Maybe instead of trying to get everyone obesity medication, we can instead educate society so we all understand nutrition and diet and can combat the ever-persistent forces of corpo

As soon as the article started describing malware being installed upon insertion of a USB thumb drive, I had to Ctrl-F for "Windows", and indeed, of course that's the OS these machines are running. I'd be really curious

wtf, they shut down AM 730? That's brutal. It used to be essential listening on the drive out to work, back when I actually drove to/from work.

No, the inclusion of AM radio will not be an actual dealbreaker for anyone, anywhere, who is buying a vehicle, so "voting with their wallets" is not a thing that will happen. Even for me, an amateur radio operator, I won't s

Oh? I really liked Xbox 360's "blades" dashboard UI. It was quite fast, and was quite simple. On every screen, there's a clear indication of what your controller buttons do, making it really quick to get around in. S

Hell yeah, I still chat regularly with a couple friends I met online in like 1999. One of them I talk with almost daily. Surprisingly the whole "extremely online" approach has meant some really solid long-lasting connections. :
