Hardly. Sugar has been made the scapegoat. Many things contribute to diabetes, sugar is but one among them. Meat has been shown to contribute significantly[0]. If you dig into it further, you'll see study after study blaming "norm

I used to eat a lot of sweets when I was young. Not for breakfast, because that's not the customary here, but at all other times. I liked that stuff. As I grew older, I lost my taste for all that. I have seen this pattern in so many ot

SteamOS has already been released[1], but all they do is add some stuff on Debian. But Steam/Valve does not seem to be too committed to Linux. Their Linux games are often quite buggy[2], and in my experience, support is slow. [1] http

On the bright side, this will give some much-needed publicity to Tor Browser. Sci-hub is still available at http://scihub22266oqcxt.onion/

HN is the only place I bother solving CAPTCHAs. For everything else, Firefox (Tor Browser) has plugins to get a copy from arhive.org, archive.is, or google-cache. So if the page asks me to solve a CAPTCHA, I don't visit them. This coul
