> Then why do potatoes score the highest on the original Holt Satiety Index? Those are about as carb as on can get.
That's a shit metric that nobody should take seriously. This is obvious from the fact that potatoes have the highest score. That's not remotely plausible and probably contradicts the direct first hand experience of everyone here.
...or they just make shit choices for themselves.
Not everyone that binges on Twinkies does so because of an SJW ready sob story. Even those that have an SJW ready sob story could do better.
Been there. Done that.
If anything, SJWs only make the problem worse by first setting unnecessary and unrealistic expectations engineered for failure. Then they make excuses and enable bad behavior afterwards.
The only way it's not worth the risk is if there is no existential threat from climate change.
If you buy into that particular doomsday scenario and are genuinely serious about it, then you have to consider even the higher risk options.
If you don't, then you are lying about your level of faith in the narrative or you simply don't understand the stakes.
Tastes better than dirt and worms.
If people listened to people like you, neither one of us would be alive to argue about it.
You can be a 70s style tree hugger without fully embracing neo-Stalinism.
List prices and pharmacy cash prices are not exactly a secret. They're published on the web and searchable by anyone who actually has any interest in being a "smart shopper". All this does is "put it in your face". Although considering all of the disclaimers already in drug ads, I am not sure how conspicuous this will be.
What your insurance company paid is also disclosed to you and you can share that information with anyone you want.
Your pharmacy might also give you a nice year end summary.
Meh. Some things are urgent. Some things aren't. I am more worried about predictability and a somewhat reasonable time frame. It doesn't have to be 2 days. Although sometimes it needs to be overnight.
A lot of things you can order ahead if you are putting some thought into it. Although Amazon even has a "subscribe" feature to handle this too.
In places where grocery cart theft is a real thing, they put special barriers in place to prevent you from walking off with one. Those aren't meant for you to take for your personal use.
I wonder if all the nit wits pining for "walkable cities" and whatnot have so much as ever actually visited a place where this kind of thing is sort of forced on you.
What the OP is describing is NOT an option. You can choose to have YOUR stuff delivered on a particular day. This does SQUAT to optimize delivery truck traffic for your entire neighborhood.
A prime delivery day NOT OF YOUR CHOOSING optimized to reduce delivery traffic is what both of us (me and the OP) want but aren't being offered.
This article is a great example of something that was already commonplace on other platforms before Microsoft decided to "discover" it. This is more of an ABM thing than a strictly Linux thing.
This person was an adult. The headline tries to make it sound like he's a kid. Typical sort of media distortion you can expect from "journalists" these days.
We've always been couch potatoes. It's just that now another device has started to gain traction against the Television in this regard.
Foreign nationals are just part of the scenery. Despite how much certain people like to whine about how much money we "waste" on health care, all of that money means that we can poach the best talent from the entire rest of the planet.
If you're any good, your head gets hunted and you will get offers you will find difficult to refuse.
These would be the same "communists" that you buy all of your cheap junk from.
