I cannot believe this showed up on HN front page. I was thinking about anarchy and secession on the way home, and remembered Hutt River, then bam, there it was. Hutt River has been a media curiosity for decades in Australia, Prince Leonard

I was slack and didn't read your links last night, sorry. From what I can gather, infection with adenovirus-36 basically improves glycemic control... ostensibly a good thing? I couldn't find whether adenovirus-36 was a persistent

In some cases it may be the root cause, but... is 42% of the US population infected by adenovirus? I think it's unlikely. In my opinion, it's mostly the excess carbohydrates now compared to what we ate 100 years ago. Occam's

Just be sure you're supplementing enough. If you've been vegan for 4 years, you're starting to enter the danger zone for running out of certain vitamins that your body stores. B12 is the big obvious one, but you should also c

I would be very interested to see if the same effect holds in those athletes who maintain a low carbohydrate diet. Maybe if the body is adapted to use fat as the primary energy source from the get-go, it would not go looking for energy in s

It depends where you live. In Australia outside of the capitals, public transport is nonexistent or terrible. If you're situated more than 5km from the nearest town, car ownership is practically mandatory.

I think the point here is that animals raised for meat should not be conflated with burning fossil fuels. Cattle, chickens etc. are part of the carbon cycle. Modern high-intensity farming practices such as feedlots and cage chickens - where

I would love some more information on this if you have it, my search results are bombarded by all the news outlets copypasting this article.

Hey mate, as a fellow obese (soon to only be overweight) person, I found something that makes a lot of sense to me: the carbohydrate-insulin model of obesity. The thermodynamic model of calories-in-calories-out doesn't work because we

I feel like being pedantic for a moment. Our suburban posties don't get off the bike to deliver the letters, they ride up alongside the letterbox and deliver the letters right from the vehicle, as can be seen in the link in the GGP com

Yep, pretty much all of this. There is also the part where the machine I sit down at to attempt to learn programming also happens to be the same machine where I do banking, budgeting, YouTube, Reddit, HN, porn, gaming, socialising, falling

>allow you to do one thing at a time Yep, this is why I chose truck driving as a job. I am looking to change out of it now after 12 years, but there's no short list of 'one thing at a time'jobs, and the ADHD has prevented

Is it the plastic though, or is it the sugar? Over my last few years of reading, I've convinced myself that sugar is the main culprit in massive obesity in Western countries, especially the US (i.e. high fructose corn syrup). Sugar is

Because the infrastructure spend and land allocation is not evenly spread. In most places, there is a dedicated lane for cars heading each way, possibly with parking or at least a decent shoulder on either side of the road. The same cannot

The bit between the truck and trailer is a drawbar. As mentioned, it is indeed mainly for manoeuvreability. In Australia, that combination is called a 'truck and dog', the dog being the rear trailer. The front axle(s) on the dog a
