Yes, I am firmly entrenched -- because I actually know what I am talking about for once instead of just hand-waving about "the establishment" and "science".

Thanks for your engagement, but you're doing little more than just linking to conventional wisdom -- how do you explain the explosive rise in diabetes and obesity that has coincided over the last 40 years with a reduction in our red me

Granted, it will take you several years to die. If you're a woman you'll lose your menstrual cycle pretty quick, too.

I do eat liver, but I go in spurts - sometimes I'll go several months without eating any liver, other times I'll eat it daily for a week or two.

I lived in India from 1976 - 1993. What reason do you have to doubt me???

You said "that diet and keto are associated with an increase in all-cause mortality" -- in fact, I believe the opposite to be the case. Check out The Big Fat Surprise by Nina Teicholz to learn more about nutrition science.

I've been thinking about diet for a lot longer than just a couple of years and in fact I have tried being a vegetarian. I also grew up in India, so I'm familiar with their diet. You say you've been "veggie" for 10+

This is not news to the medical establishment, although not everyone in the medical establishment is fully caught up on the news: https://reversingdiabetesmd.com/

Yes -- I grew up in India and I am familiar with their diet. India has terrible rates of diabetes and has one of the lowest life expectancies in the world.

You said: "nothing from a plant is dangerous according to any scientifically-based diet". But... plants contain oxalates, lectins, and phytates just for starters. Their seeds, roots, leaves, and stalks are all well defended. Onl

Were you not aware that vegans need vitamin supplements to avoid death?

Fresh meat contains vitamin C, as does liver. In fact, it has been known for hundreds of years that fresh meat prevents scurvy — the reason people associate vitamin C with citrus is because lemons were taken on board long ship voyages back

This was one of the biggest eye-openers for me. First, it turns out that you don’t need fiber for a healthy gut. Second, it also turns out that a zero-fiber diet will reduce the volume of poop you produce by 75% and you’ll also completely

Yeah, the only way to make it work is to be an exercise nut. In order to get the nutrition your body needs from a vegan diet you will need to consume more calories than you would consume on a carnivore diet. So you need to exercise to burn

You’re just wrong on this. The calories-in-calories-out thing doesn’t work since the nutrient profiles of different kinds of calories effect the body’s calorie-burn-rate. But you wouldn’t be the first one to tell me I’m wrong without actua

EXACTLY! “Gentle on the digestive system” is the perfect way to describe it. You never feel bloated, but you feel satiated after eating, you find that you naturally begin eating less frequently because you are more fully nourished when you

Yeah, it is possible to stay alive on a vegetarian diet if you include eggs and dairy. Some “vegetarians” even include fish. Obviously the more fish, eggs, and dairy you consume the better off you’ll be. Strict vegans, on the other hand,

It would be easy to observe this if thin meat-eaters broke their hips as often as vegetarians do. In fact, people who ONLY eat red meat will find it LITERALLY IMPOSSIBLE to be overweight. Try eating only steak, eggs, and sardines for a ye

Almost everyone thinks this, but I don’t. I have come to believe that a person’s risk for heart disease, cancer, stroke, and high blood pressure will all be reduced by switching to a 100% red meat diet. If anyone actually cares, they can

I consumed exactly zero plant-based calories during all of 2021 — no alcohol, no plant-based cooking oil — NOTHING from a plant. I ended the year in about the best shape of my life — and now that I understand nutrition better I plan to get

People might consider switching to supabase to get the real-time engine, the integrated auth, and the automatic REST API. They won’t lose any capability to write Rails/Django/whatever, but they’ll just have to do a lot less of it

by jononomo 4y ago
Supabase has more than just solid positioning -- I don't see how they don't put almost every postgres-as-a-service company out of business and also remove the need for frameworks like Ruby on Rails, Django, etc. They're basi

I completely agree -- but it is remarkable how many Americans have bought into this idea that "government is bad".

First, the "I'm a 10x dev" personality type is not a 10x dev. Arrogance is a sign of insecurity. Second, I don't think a team of ten 1.5x programmers will beat out a 10x programmer. You either have the depth of underst

A+ comment. I've been hearing this idea that "there is no such thing as a 10x engineer" for almost a decade now and from the very first moment I heard it I considered it one of the most definitively untrue ideas circulating

Life is a miracle and every new thing we learn about it makes it even more impossible to avoid the conclusion that God created life.
