Comment Here's a way better idea: BioChar (Score 1) 83

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...

Biochar is the lightweight black residue, made of carbon and ashes, remaining after the pyrolysis of biomass, and is a form of charcoal.[1] Biochar is defined by the International Biochar Initiative as "the solid material obtained from the thermochemical conversion of biomass in an oxygen-limited environment".[2] Biochar is a stable solid that is rich in pyrogenic carbon and can endure in soil for thousands of years.[3]

You don't "burn" wood, you burn whatever waste wood like product that would normally be trashed.

I'm not touching this not because of the price but because it's MS hardware.

At work, MS surface laptops are flacky at best.

At home, a simple MS Keyboard needs F'n drivers to be downloaded!?!? Are you kidding me?
They own the OS and can't embed their own exotic keyboard drivers in the OS!?!

These people do: http://sugarscience.ucsf.edu/ [ucsf.edu]

-Artificial sweeteners tell your body "Sugar is coming".
-Your body spikes your insulin but no sugars show up so your body says WTF.
-Your body then has to deal with this excess insulin which makes you hungrier.
-At some point your body gets fed up with all this and starts to ignore insulin (aka insulin resistance)

TL;DR; avoid ALL artificial sweeteners. Glucose is the safest because your body makes itself by converting starch into glucose which get converted to ATP for energy.
After that, Sugar, honey, and maple syrup are the safest.

If you want sweets, that's fine but do in in moderation and stay TF away from artificial sweeteners.

Comment Re:Is there a better tool to fight rampant inflati (Score 0) 192

yes.

-Tax the rich
-control corporations (instead of the the other way around)
-Limit how many homes corps and the rich can rent out or Air-BnB
-etc.

E.G.: It is way cheaper to live in France because they control things.
