So what you are saying when I put a case of beer in the fridge, sometimes it only makes the air in the fridge cold, and other times it only makes the beer cold.

That is amazing. Science is neat!

Or maybe the other thing that is missing from that theory, other than recordable heat, is logic. I personal would like to see math and the recordings on that baloney.

Doctor: "You have a certain kind of microbes in your gut that causes your body to absorb more of what you eat"
Patient: "What should I do?"
Doctor: "Eat less"

It still boils down to the behavior of the individual.

Personally I don't see how this is a bad thing. This is a big boon for feeding the world. The problems are individual and cultural.

You don't want to be fat, eat less and exercise more, that or go see your doctor have him sterilize your digestive track and repopulate it with the "skinny people" poop pill. (They actually do this with pills made of poop, insane.)

*Nobody* should have to pay through taxes for construction in such places. It's a really risky and foolish place to build. For example, any barrier island system is guaranteed to be moving around and be overtopped by storms from time to time on 100-year timescales. It's a nice place to visit, but people who insist on building there should be floating all of the costs on their own.

Welcome to Florida.

Ask any scuba diver, they'll pretty much tell you that vast areas underwater are simply sand. There is no shortage of sand in the world.

Where the sand shortage occurs is between the ocean and the very expensive homes built on/near the beach. Beaches move either due to build up or erosion. This greatly annoys the people who own said expensive homes hence the complaints of the "shortage" of sand.

They do not like to have to pay, either directly or through taxes, to have the beach line and inter coastal areas maintained.

This is stupid, if you have a basic machine shop, access to a electronics supply store, and some raw materials you have what it takes to make nuclear weapons. How exactly do you think they did it back in the day? They didn't special order it out of a catalog.....

The level of stupid in the world is astounding.

Not sure how well the mobile part works when you actually have to pay for the insurance. A lot of people I know don't leave a job not because of their health insurance but because of all the other debt payments and obligations. P>

ACA does not get "free" until you are pretty heavy out of pocket on expenses or have been unemployed for some time. Also thanks to the stipulations in the ACA if you move to another State guess what does NOT follow you there, that's right your insurance, because now you have to join an insurance provider in that State. Yours in most cases will not be waiting for you there.

If anything it binds you even tighter to a job and location.
