>This isn't an issue with health and exercise, it's an issue with idiots in the medical system.

I think it was an issue with the medical system first, doctors second.

Kaiser is an HMO, not an insurer. You can almost think of an HMO like a Gym membership. Everyone pays a fairly flat fee and gets access to various bits of equipment (or healthcare in this instance) There is a few problems though.

1. You cannot really sue an HMO in California for Malpractice. So this allows them to make shitty judgement calls.
2. The Doctors at Kaiser also own stock.. So indirectly the doctors have an incentive to deny care, especially if they think it will be costly to the hospital bottom line.
3. In regards to #2, Kaiser will come up with crappy tests to deny care.. like using a BMI chart, instead of something more comprehensive like hydrostatic weighing.

I honestly feel you're better off not exercising after my experiences.

In 2013 I ran quite a bit, 2 to 4 miles a day. I had been doing this for several years and had a washboard stomach, rippling calves. Was never much of an arms guy. During one of my runs that year my knee did something it never did before, it bent backwards. I had pain on the inner knee that wouldn't go away. I went in to see my doc at Kaiser.

"You're 5'10 and 180 lbs, you need to lose weight"

"But I'm all muscle!"

"Ortho won't do anything for you at that weight"

Kaiser in all their infinite wisdom had cursed me that day. Despite being in the best shape of my life, sleeping soundly, tons of energy, my doc just looked at a BMI chart and decided the state of my health. I'd later self diagnose this as a torn meniscus, something pretty easy for them to fix. They're just not going to do it. With my body unable to burn calories like it did before, my weight has shot through the roof.

With that, I'd say not doing exercise might have been better. What I wouldn't give to be able to just walk a mile without pain, or up a flight of stairs without the knee clicking.

t0qer opined:
- but the spin CEC-P puts on it is purely political.

On a site that grants us the ability to write opinions, you seem to be bothered that people do. It's impossible to critique political opinion, without said critique being political itself. Less we forget that the opines of the founding fathers was considered "radical" print.

H1-B should be a path to citizenship, why?

It would eliminate the abuses of the system. Let me explain.

H1-B abuses exist because of the "Find a new job in 30 days if you get fired, or go back to India" While it's true, TaTa consulting charges $250k a year for an engineer, after they take their cut that engineer is lucky to be making $60k. I've seen it happen soooo many times.

So in reality, we need 3 things to happen.

1. Ban consulting companies like Tata and Infosys from playing the H1-B lottery.
2. Eliminate the "30 days" option.
3. Give H1-B's the same rights and recourse Americans have.

What a day to not have mod points. I don't see anything wrong with your comment. It's an actual quote, actual facts. The only troll/flamebait I see here is the CEO. If mods want to be mad at anyone, be mad at the CEO who said and did this stuff. CEC-P is just pointing out what was said and done.

Makes me think of Heavens Gate, a different cult.

Texas has the highest rate of housing buildouts in the country. Many of these houses are in a lower latitude than Phoenix Arizona. I've always loved this quote from king of the hill on how building in these places is a monument to mans arrogance, and I think it's right on the money.

I get why real estate developers love these regions. Land is CHEAP, often times there's minimal roadblocks in the way of local regulations, labor pool is cheap and all of this adds up to high profits. All you have to do is build what is essentially life support systems, and there is the problem. Life support systems in these regions are a finite resource. The arid regions around the world tell the same story, when these resources dry up, they become ghost towns. If it wasn't for Northern California shipping water down to LA via the Aqueduct, it would be a ghost town (or at least sparsely populated) Air conditioning is what's made them livable.

For our carbon offset, we REALLY need to knock this off. It's not just Phoenix that's a monument to mans arrogance. Dubai, Vegas, most of Texas, LA are all culprits.

NNTP?

I remember my pascal class I had to make change from various coin denominations. $0.01, $0.05, $0.25, $0.50. That was my introduction to sorting.

The quality of reddit the last few years has been terrible. People know there are swarms of brigading bots, especially when it comes to political discussions. Go to the subreddit of any major city and you see the same talking points. My favorite, the top 10 most populous cities in the US have a housing crisis, which is the reason we have so many addicts in tent cities. There also seems to be a big influence from China on the site. Saw several posts on Tiananmen square yesterday, they didn't garner nearly the attention I thought they should have.

That being said, it's probably best we go back to the internets decentralized platforms like nntp.

If you're on NIPR the highest classification you'll find is secret. If you're on SIPR, you can find everything above secret but you can't use a machine capable of writing to external media. You're using a specially modified machine running Horizon thin client, which itself is setup to not allow any transfer of media files.

What I want to know is how did he get files off SIPR?

Change "Child Sex Abuse" to "Alt-Right" or "Trump" and watch how quickly the comments would change here. Maybe Interpol needs a different strategy.

I worked for the DoD. Our policy was to degauss and crush. It wasn't actually a crusher, more like a hard drive splitter.

The idea is to take zero chances that mission sensitive data can be recovered. I've heard of some really crazy techniques, like the CIA using extremely fine black sand (iron particles) sprinkled on disks to read the sector state manually with a microscope. Which is why we degauss (which will fry some of the electronics on the board like an EMP).

After the crush, we'd keep the rare earth magnets.. Those always came in handy.

Well now you're not even supporting what you said before

Not my fault you're unable to draw the parallelism's between my points, that is your shortcoming, not mine. It doesn't matter if it's "Nerding out" as you put it, or building a dam, or seeing tadpoles grow into frogs. There's a certain level of intellect that develops in a child when they can take things apart, and understand how individual components work towards the whole.

Attention seeking on TikTok or living vicariously through others is not equal to that.
