And it requires a credit card for a trial. What a load of bullshit.

I grew up in the San Joaquin Valley. I usually called it "the asshole of California", but I suppose "the armpit of California" is an equally apt moniker.

No, it's Cafestol, which unlike dietary cholesterol does substantially increase serum cholesterol. Whether it's the harmful kind (LDL pattern B), I've been unable to figure out. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki&

As a Linux user, I find this quite humorous.

Thank you for the detailed response. I've always discounted the BSDs because of the popularity of Linux, but perhaps now I'll give them a second look.

> The entire OS seems to be of substantially higher quality than Linux. That's a pretty bold statement. Care to elaborate?

Meanwhile several Linux desktops have actually incorporated design teams and are starting to look quite beautiful. Never thought I'd see the day where it's prettier than OS X, but today may be that day.

> It's totally unscientific to use LDL given it includes HDL I agree that total LDL is not a good indicator unless you do subfractioning, but I think you meant total cholesterol here, as LDL does not include HDL (that wouldn't

I closed the page immediately upon seeing total cholesterol. Being on a ketogenic diet, it'd probably tell me I'm at risk because the diet increases both HDL and big LDL particles (the harmless kind). Total cholesterol is meaningl

Thanks for the suggestion. I've been to a few actually (for bitcoin and spanish practice) and they were a lot of fun, but they never led to any deep friendships like those I used to have. Maybe I'm going to the wrong ones, or alte

by jmhain 12y ago
I wish I would have. Sad thing is, the ease of developing new friendships seems to be a function of the number of existing ones. Once you reach zero, like I have, you're pretty much stuck there.

This should be the norm for a couple of reasons: * There are still people that believe free-of-cost software cannot be high quality, which is likely a result of the well known relationship between price and perceived quality. * If open-sour

Probably, but I heard Debian unstable is already packaging it, so that's an option too.

Same here. My old personality mostly comprised avoidance of any behavior that had occurred near a panic attack, which slowly began to cover more and more of the things I once enjoyed. My new personality is dominated by intellectual curiosit

As somebody who has suffered from depression and anxiety, this is (mostly) fantastic advice. I waited so long to try an SSRI because so many insist that they don't work. Yet, when I got on 20 mg of citalopram, panic attacks disappeared

Can LibreOffice edit MS Office files non-destructively now? I'm impressed with the improvements lately, but I'm still too scared edit shared .docx files at work based on bad experiences with OpenOffice in the past.

I think it's just a consequence of Metcalfe's law; the first implementation of a good idea will never be perfect, but has the greatest chance of succeeding. Sure IPv4, JavaScript, Bitcoin, and countless others have defects, but th
