I'm very pro-protein - we just tend to see better metabolic health outcomes when we eat more of it. Diets with higher proportions of protein result in better body composition, less fat, less chance of diabetes, etc. I think the vast ma

Because, again, Trump was explicit he was going to go on a political witch hunt to target his enemies. A blanket pardon is your best defense against manufactured charges in that case - see all of the current cases being brought against his

Meanwhile I've had bare metal be a complete outage for over a day because a backhoe decided it wanted to eat the fiber line into our building. All I could do was twiddle my thumbs because we were stuck waiting on another company to fix

Why would they enable it without fixing the issue? The post-mortem is specific that they won't turn it back on without resolving this but I feel like the default assumption for any halfway competent entity would be that they fix the kn

Biden's son had committed and was convicted of a petty crime that is basically never enforced. The pardon was sweeping. You seem to be arguing semantics. I care about what his son actually did. If someone is sitting in jail for a marij

Simply untrue. He pardoned hundreds of people, many of them with the same blanket pardon, and commuted the sentence of thousands.

When did your ancestors immigrate to the country? What was the process for immigration then? For the majority of the history of the country it has never been anything like it is today. Until 1819 you basically literally just showed up. Afte

I just honestly feel like any attempt to equate the two is insane. I can't really align myself to either party, and I am diametrically opposed to the Democrats on some issues, like gun control, and think that there are a lot of real is

Biden pardoned his son for a petty crime. He pardoned the rest for probably no crime at all. See again: > with an incoming president that had spoken extensively about his desire to weaponize the government to enact revenge on his politic

Biden pardoning his son was widely condemned by Democrats. This is despite the fact that Hunter was gone after on a charge that is basically never enforced alongside a media and political campaign ramping up all sorts of lies and half-truth

No. He had the same financial incentives to not want to have to worry about the BSA and dealing with AML etc. as CZ. This is not a company vs. company sort of issue, this is a "I want to avoid regulations that would cost me money as a

Serious set of questions here from someone desperately trying to understand people who voted for Trump and how to have conversations with them that can be productive. None of them are meant to be insulting or insinuate anything. To me, this

I'm not sure you understand the point. It isn't that CZ himself was specifically putting forth the effort to launder money. It isn't that he was specifically doing things to try and make it easier. The point is that he had a

The entire post is an anti-immigration screed. How is it not xenophobic? It's also littered with references to other far-right positions, like defending someone who was tweeting out incitements to violence against trans people - "

Depends on if these were commissioned officers or NCOs. Basically everyone reaches NCO by the end of service (used to be automatic, now there are tests that are primarily based around fitness), but when people specifically call out officers

I'm with you. I think it should only apply to games that have fairly clearly gotten "stuck" and things are just dragging - like others have suggested, 12th inning seems like a reasonable start. I've always felt a lot of

I'm fairly confident you're in the minority of serious fans on this one. Anecdotal, but I don't personally know a single big baseball fan that wants to go back to no instant replay. Which doesn't mean they're necess

This would more than halve the amount of relief pitchers needed, so the MLBPA will never ever think about agreeing to it. Starting pitchers averaged ~5.5 innings per game in 2024, and going 7 is hardly a rare occurrence. You would basically

I mean, I literally agreed with you on the all-cause mortality as the very first thing I said. I would not call that a rebuttal. I was just attempting to refocus the discussion back on where the context had been before you suddenly changed

Sure, but the primary point of the discussion for the article we're all discussing is around ASCVD, so switching to all-cause mortality is kind of moving the goalposts. People at risk for ASCVD should also realistically just be doing b

For sure. Someone who naturally has the lower LDL is more likely to have had that lower LDL for longer - being on statins necessarily indicates they had a high LDL at some point, and the damage is cumulative over your lifetime. If you block

My point is that the ratios are no longer considered relevant because we now understand better that HDL itself is not a particularly useful indication of anything - high HDL doesn't help you if your atherogenic particles are also high.

Excellent rebuttal. You've convinced me! Seriously, please stop spreading misinformation about things. You might convince someone who needs a statin to not take one. This could literally be the difference between them dying from ASCVD
