The US constitution forbids the US government from acting in certain ways, it in no way impedes upon private organizations. Tort law and the like is what holds private organizations accountable. i.e. The fourth amendment does not protect yo

The second part of your proposal doesn't make any sense in the scheme of transitioning humans out of that sector of the workforce. Increasing restrictions on CDL issuance doesn't make it any easier to transition drivers out, it ki

Not the person you replied to but I have the same setup. The only real issue is getting the adapters so they can be connected (plenty available on a variety of websites, but of questionable quality).

There's an episode of Black Mirror that protrays something akin to it, season 3 episode 1, somewhat like China's citizenship score.

Freedom of the Press and Freedom of Speech are enumerated separately by the First Amendment.

The caveat to your argument is that the government cannot be responsible for the consequences by a very liberal reading for free speech.

The funniest part is that Coulter was invited by a group that disagrees with her views.

It's not a rationalization that police lives are more important, but rather about the stupidity of holding up a phone in such a way towards the police engaged in a dangerous situation that it appears as though you are acting aggressive

Honestly, the worst part of CGAL licensing is figuring out which parts actually require the commercial license, since most of the simpler structures in CGAL can be used freely in a commercial product.

Eh, do you know of another "Republican" subreddit with ~400,000 readers? The obvious r/republican is still <100,000 and affiliated subs aren't any larger.

Considering that all 3 fracking locations that are even remotely close to Flint are all downstream, yeah, I see 0 correlation.

Considering they had a completely adequate water supply until their local government decided to switch to using the Flint River directly [1], I don't think this is a remotely accurate comparison. [1] - https://en.wikipedia.o

That looks like a monthly amount, yes.

That 20% also covers employee salaries, building and maintenance costs, whatever IT infrastructure is needed, etc. That's not net profit like the 2-3% supermarket number you offer.

Yep, everything in the past year has indicated that they were underpricing their offerings. I'm not even talking about turning a large margin, but that they were offering more services than they could sustain, regardless of market pene

The licensing has changed a bit over the past year. The biggest difference between the LGPL and GPL versions is that Charts and Data Visualization aren't available under LGPL, and Qt Quick is limited to OpenGL. https://www.

How would subsidizing vegetables get more people to eat them? They're already super cheap.

Doing that even once a week with a regular diet the rest of the time, someone could gain 35+ pounds per year.

Now that was entirely pedantry. The microbiome isn't excluded from the law of conservation of energy either. Different microbiomes may process food differently, but it cannot extract more energy than is available. A calorie is a unit

For as long as those two have been around, I would expect that they have had to adjust their system based on the changes in nutritional science and to better balance their scoring systems (much like video games often do). Abusive victim bla

Then what point are you actually trying to make here? The original comment I made was that this research is irrelevant in regards to CICO. I stand by that a precise formula for what to eat is largely useless in the everyday sense, unless

What large factors outweigh calorie content? There are plenty of dietary restrictions for things like Crohn's and diabetes, but they're easily worked around without changing overall calorie consumption. Hypothyroidism and other m

Again most people aren't trying to engineer their diets, what they need is simple concepts that provide a good outline of what they need to do to meet their goals. Self-monitoring and self-correction are far more useful than knowing a

None of them cause weight gain, which is explicitly was the original comment was about, not disease treatment.

Good job, you've expounded on the obvious short-coming of "simplification". Most people have a hard enough time with algebra, how do you expect them to handle the many complexities of human biology and the digestive process.

by jtuente 10y ago
Well of course CICO is an oversimplification, it's supposed to be. It's meant to be the basis of the diet. Your analogy is about as useful as saying 2-dimensional kinematics doesn't translate to 3-dimensional kinematics bec
