> I don't think one can call a cancer cell a normal cell that is growing out of control. This is pretty much the characteristic ability that cancerous cells have. I can be more specific if you'd like.

I understand your point of view. I accept your position that even though a system (theoretical) is not immoral in its design, it is very probable to be immoral in its execution. This is something that I think most people don't argue ab

No, it's an attempt at humor underscoring the futility of fighting the power that caused the "slaying". And it's exactly why everyone is bringing up the "need" for EU investigative force. We know this isn'

> When I say "system" I mean "all of what the people are doing including which kind of theories they back their actions with". That's a little opaque. That could include criminal or immoral activity, think money

Exactly. A single bystander... No way to know if this was targeted.

True. I was only referencing what they use as energy, i.e. the same sugars (etc.) that their normal growing and dying counterparts do.

Two points. One year is an outlier. That's about bell curves work. Sorry for the peach harvest in Georgia, but that's nature. Comparing that one year (and the year before) to "historical average" from 1998-2017 is stupid

Not because of the systems, rather just that people are involved.

> To be fair, a lot of EU money does magically disappear in Eastern Europe due to corruption. And so the EU police will also be fair.

Bureaucracies grow larger and gain more power over time!? Can the EU be stopped? Nations will plead the 50th slowly over time. That's the only answer I believe is feasible.

Related to the title of this article, cancer metabolizes the main sugar in the bloodstream, glucose, that all cells metabolize.

Remember that "cancer" is just normal cells that grow out of control. So if your normal cells are functioning normally then cancer cells will also function normally. If ketosis stopped cancer cells from proliferating the same woul

> But maybe that's also not enough evidence for you. Anecdotes should not be used to create policy.

If it were true then yes (and data some cases tell us so). But memory has a tendency to be selective, anecdotes should not be trusted.

What one ignores is the traffic that you pass when you're going 65 in a 55. I would estimate probably 1/4 of traffic is moving at or just below the limit. I'm in Houston and we deal with traffic quite a bit and I'm not a

They are. Try driving in Asia and get back to me. (Disclaimer: I'm hard line traffic law follower.)

> Driving at roughly the same speed as the rest of traffic is definitely much safer than driving the posted speed limit. Who is causing the danger of driving the maximum legal speed. Also, it's rare that all of the traffic flow is a

Not arguing anything, asking the original poster to explain his (and possibly your) claim. Nothing yet.

If it's so clearly a constitutional duty then you shouldn't have a hard time proving it. Just making a statement doesn't answer the question.

I think the problem with your analysis is that you left out the line of the boycott which is, in this case, quite important. Your comment here about "people don't vote all the time for different reasons" doesn't amount t

I'm not interested in the subtext, rather the duties that the quoted poster is referring to in this specific case.

> In my opinion, this seems like grounds for removal of the President, as he appears constitutionally incapable of carrying out the duties required of him. What constitutional duties specifically are you referring to?

by tertius 9y ago
How is this relevant to an actual boycott?

Nobody sure is convincing for a lot of people.

I think it can make one feel trapped. Trapped to a schedule. But you have to think of it as something that you choose, i.e. your own limitation, not some external limitation. Having a normal circadian rhythm makes the rest of life a lot mor

Wake up at the same time every day. Pick that time and stick to it. Whether you get too little sleep or not.

Still off of that project? Or did they actually admit it to you?

Yes, many people bring their work out of academia and have much lower cost of R&D because they don't have to pay for any of the pre-work. Reagents are getting cheaper and better as well. Yesteryears low hanging fruit costs the same

You may also want to include the U.N. in your condemnation, even though they are not specifically mentioned. Haiti was not well handled by the big boys... https://www.nytimes.com/2016/08/18/world/americas
