Comment Re: - a treatment, not a cure - (Score 1) 51

Too bad statins don't actually cure anything. They do have a myriad of side-effects.

And also, too bad that you're concerned about "high cholesterol" - cholesterol particles number by itself is not an indicator of cardiovascular disease or metabolic syndrome. Only oxidized LDL particles (which are the same as small-dense LDL, sdLDL) however, indicative of CVD and metabolic syndrome.

High healthy LDL is not a reason for worry. People who are on a ketogenic or carnivore/zerocarb diet will often have increased LDL readings without any adverse health effects. Some genetic traits will also bring higher LDL readings in otherwise perfectly healthy patients.

Basically, you've been poisoning yourself with statins for no good reason. Statins is a 100B/year industry, and there are strong incentives to keep it going. Those incentives are not aligned with your health.

Comment Re:This isn't Apple being vile, but reasonable (Score 1) 87

Here's what Apple sees: increased cost and effort trying to certify their circuitous supply chain while competitors Huawei, Xiaomi, and others continue their current manufacturing practices unabated.

I'll give you 10 minutes to think and realize why this is total bullshit.

So how exactly is this bill not going to affect every company importing into the US? Whether it's Apple, Foxconn or Huawei, if their products contain parts made by slaves, they will be sanctioned. The bill does not discriminate against US-based companies. If anything, it somewhat favors them, because US-based companies should have an easier time not making shit in China, unlike Huawei who are pretty much forced to, by the CCP.

Comment Re:I never let windows automatically reboot (Score 1) 292

Rather than screwing up a file that is pretty much guaranteed to be replaced on next update you could simply:
Settings > Windows Update > Advanced Options and untick "Restart this devices as soon as possible".

You thought Windows 10 settings are actually observed by the OS? How cute.
