You forgot the / at the end of the sed expression. I posted a sed expression that fixes yours in line with the chain of people fixing the one before them.

Kinda makes you think the entire metric system is cringe by extension...

He's being targeted because they want him to put a backdoor in Telegram for them. That's the deal he's being offered right now.

But seriously, artificial sweeteners are terrible.

chlorinated compounds

If you're not catching any fish in this pond, switch ponds. There was just some post on the timeline about "leftover" women in China outnumbering men 9 to 1 in some cities.

He live in Detroit or something?

Hop on a plane and go to a bar in a country where you can't drink the tap water. You'll make friends easily.

How tea is the drink of the thinking man, whereas coffee in all forms is a drug to help the lower classes manage their suffering.

Where'd you find this mayonnaise guy? He's super fun to troll. Got him on another thread now too 😆

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glucagon#Function

Lipolysis is initiated by glucacon, which is mutually inhibitive with insulin, which is released in the presence of elevated blood glucose levels caused by eating carbohydrates. Literally, eating carbs slows and eventually stops and then reverses fat loss. The more the balance lies towards insulin, the slower you burn fat. People who don't lose fat while on a "regular" low-calorie diet are likely drip-feeding carbs into their system by sipping soda or munching snacks all day and therefore preventing the balance from favoring glucagon long enough to burn through their stored glycogen and ramp up into ketosis. They'll feel shitty and hungry and still not lose weight all because they can't stop low-intensity grazing. This is especially bad in people with some degree of insulin resistance (prediabetic) as they have to move the needle a lot farther for the same effect.

The fatigue is ketosis in action. You'll probably stink really bad too, like a morgue. (Ketones smell like death). Your body is burning fat at an incredible rate and powering your muscles with the ketones this process generates. Your brain runs only on glucose, which will make you feel fatigued. Your body can generate glucose from ketones to run your brain, but does so with an incredibly inefficient process (all the better). Your muscles, including your heart, will continue to operate just fine on pure ketones, even though you feel like you're dying in your head.

Autophagy of important things doesn't kick in until you run out of fat, especially if you keep eating protein and keep exercising. Even if you didn't eat jerky and sat on fedi all day, the tiny bits of autophagy are insignificant compared to the health risks of being fat.

It's amazing that people think losing weight is complicated. Literally just stop eating anything. Drink water (maybe with some electrolytes) and nothing else. Until you are thin.

Oh? It's dangerous you say? Being fat is far more dangerous than not eating.

Drip coffee is best if you're making 12 cups. I only drink 1 per day.

A french press is the smallest, cheapest, laziest, cleanest way to make 1 or 2 cups of real coffee, ie, not instant powdered coffee. You can (could) get them for a couple bucks and they last nearly forever. Coffee is done 30 seconds after the microwave beeps. Rinse the whole thing down and you're good. No consumables, no filters, no unwashable internal plumbing, no waiting for it to dribble, no tiny plastic parts to break. The coffee tastes like coffee, which is what I expect from coffee.

Would if I could. Pretty sure it would clog the fuck out of the tea strainer.

Price is the only reason I don't drink instant coffee.

"We need common sense abortion restrictions. You must have an ID, and there should be a 3-day waiting period, and you should have to take a special class about it."

Decent rhetoric for people who still believe that retarded commies can be convinced of anything with words.

It is (was?) the single most expensive thing ever built by humanity.

Much of this had to do with the ungodly amount of corruption in the US space industry and the defense contractors who run it. Remember, China is the second largest launcher in the world after SpaceX, and waaaaay ahead of 3rd place. The vast majority of their rockets are simple and cheap designs, not overengineered ultra-complicated bureaucratic boondoggles. Falcon 9's design is not particularly revolutionary either. It uses the simplest and most naive engine design, built with an eye on cost. It uses simple fuels. It's made from simple, standard materials. Sure, it comes back and lands, and that took a lot of engineering effort, but NASA had the capability to build a Falcon 9 since the mid 90's at least. So did Boeing and Lockheed and Northrop Grumman. But they didn't. They just wanted to feed on the teats of government and guard their pensions.

The ISS weighs 450 tons. Falcon 9 could lift it for just under $2b, which is less than the cost of two shuttle launches. And it would only take 2 months to launch the entire thing. Even if NASA was only half as efficient as SpaceX, it could relaunch a new ISS in only 4 months for the cost of 2 SLS launches.

Yeah. It's all a big scam.

The reason they're going to scrap it soon, as far as I understand, is more related to physics than politics. Radiation damages metal, and the 90 minute heating and cooling cycles introduce metal fatigue, and some other similar "shit just wears out being in space" effects. It might last longer, but safety margins are high in space. (Or are supposed to be.)

The reason they don't just launch a whole new station in advance is politics and incompetency. China just whipped up a station and put it up there no muss no fuss. Musk would already have one if his goals were that low. Russia claims they're going to launch a new one, but don't hold your breath. They'll probably just tag along with China.
