Interesting table. Note the major decline in saturated fat intake (butter, whole milk, lard) in favor of oils and synthetics.

This article repeats the lie that wild meat is lean, lacking fat. The white and yellow stuff in in the pictures below is loads of fat in free range grass fed bison. http://www.tribeoffive.com/2011/04/hunting-for-good-food-and... Kurt Harr

The obesity epidemic had a start date. It was not a gradual trend, or something that ebbed and flowed over the decades. People first got obese in large numbers in the early 1980s. Whatever is making everybody huge can be traced to a change

A potato is basically sugar, as far as digestion is concerned. The "complex carb" and glycemic index thing is pretty well nonsense. A carb is a carb. The only question is whether you have a properly functioning metabolism and insulin sensit

Hungarians are really friendly and had the worst of Soviet oppression. I don't think it's history. I just think Slavs are morose by nature.

A major function of the "phatics" of "Hello" and "How are you doing" is to calibrate to a person's speech. Saying "Hi, How are you?" before saying anything important much reduces the odds you'll have to repeat yourself. There are papers on

I don't see why the initial rejection of the question was necessary, or that he really has a much a point to make about "why" being an invalid question. All he had to do was begin explaining magnetic forces and say that if you don't get it

Not really. Men and women are different and relate to families differently. Deal with it.

White and East Asian countries can afford building codes. Indonesians and Africans cannot. That's the missing point here. In the context of 2nd/3rd world nations the point about strict codes being unfordable is reasonable.

> there is less belief in magic here than in the States. Not quite so sure about that. Japan has spent trillions on idiotic keynesian construction stimulus for over 15 years. Only one round of that has Americans up in arms.

In america the physical proximity and touching thing man-to-man is usually a power move. Alpha-dog moves into your personal space and puts a hand on your shoulder to emphasize who's boss. Or sometimes it's just done to throw the other guy

Well what's the point of letting large numbers of people in if it fails to make those already here better off? And that's pretty clearly the case. That there's space to accommodate them is irrelevant. Also, considering issues like fresh w

It comes with an http server implementation. POCO has a more full featured one.

Well these days writing an http server in C++ is about 30 lines of code using POCO or boost.asio. If your business model was "serve a shit-ton of dynamic requests super cheap" it might make just as much sense as ever to build the whole thi
