Comment Re:fascists roots (Score 2) 83

Google complies because they fear being cut out of the no-bid quid pro quo bureaucracy that currently dominates all political decision-making in the White House.

To be fair, Trump is pretty capricious and vindictive when people simply don't bend to his whims. For example, today Trump says NBC’s Kristen Welker should face ‘punishment’ from FCC simply because she said his endorsements have had "some mixed results" on Meet the Press -- which is absolutely true, not all his endorsed candidates win.

Trump “is going to loom large over these midterms,” Welker remarked on that live shot. “He, of course, has endorsed a slate of candidates in the primaries. He’s had some mixed results.”

... the president then took verbal aim at Welker with a social media post deriding her as the “Unpopular ‘Hostess’ of Meet the Fake Press,” accused her of “purposeful inaccuracy” and warned that she would “be reported to the FCC for rebuke or punishment”.

The post also said that Trump hoped his appointed FCC chair Brendan Carr – and Carr’s colleagues on the commission – “take this Threat to our Country very seriously”.

So, according to Trump, the phrase, "He's had some mixed results," is a threat to our country. /s

Cholesterol is not one molecule.

A lot of your brain is made of types of it.

Complex systems involving certain light ldls and other factors can ultimately result in inflammatory blockages.

The two populations with the highest life expectancy are Hong Kong and Macau.

They also have the highest per capita consumption of meat.

Again, it's a complex system but "eat plants to live long" is disproved.

Comment Re:"The Beating of a Liberal" (Score 2) 21

I have this great idea for a new TV show. The premise is simple. Just toss a liberal celebrity into the ring with a couple of Marines, and spend about an hour filming him getting the living shit beat out of him. Wouldn't it be great, every night you can turn on your TV and watch some loathsome parasite like Gavin Newsom or Chuck Schumer getting a Front Street Face Lift? If that's not a hit, I don't know what is!

Interesting how you think it takes TWO trained marines to beat up one Liberal celebrity. How about one marine beating on Mayor Trumpsky and his 3 sons?

It's more interesting that people who post stuff like this think a Marine would even do that. They probably care more about the Constitution and citizens than this President and his Administration ever will. Now if it was an I.C.E agent ... /s

Comment And the 3D printing part? (Score 1) 58

When these are combined together, the mixture is fed into a 3D printer that spits out cookies of any desired shape. ... And some experts say it's wishful thinking to believe we can 3D-print, and then eat, ourselves out of these global problems with 3D-printed, delectable treats.

Seems like the 3D printing is very optional, so why? It's probably slower and more complicated than regular automated cookie dough fabrication methods and unnecessary to the overall goals here.

Comment Re:So this is pidley shit compared to the tax cuts (Score 2) 129

Think about that a quarter of the debt is because of trump.

From US national debt tops $40 trillion: These four charts offer more context and U.S. National Debt by President (2nd link has more complete data and history):

National debt increases under recent presidents:
- Donald Trump (5.5y): $11.64T - with 2.5 more years remaining
- Joe Biden (4y): $8.45T
- Barack Obama (8y): $9.32T
- George W. Bush (8y): $4.91T
- Bill Clinton (4y): $1.54T
- George H.W. Bush (4y): $1.33T
- Ronald Reagan (8y): $1.85T
- (Everyone else is way below $1T each and two even lowered the debt.)

If the current U.S. debt is now about $40T, then Trump is responsible for about 29%, Biden: 21%, Obama: 23%, Bush (W): 12%, Clinton: 4%, Bush (HW): 3%, Reagan: 5%. Of these listed, Republican presidents are responsible for about 49.3% and Democrat presidents, 48.2%.

Comment In addition ... (Score 1) 60

Xylitol is a sugar alcohol present in some natural foods in very low amounts. It is also added -- often in amounts 1,000 times higher -- to artificially sweeten foods, beverages and oral care products.

In even larger amounts, it works as a laxative, so that's fun.

Personally, I avoid artificial sweeteners, mainly because I dislike their taste, and just try to be mindful of what I eat and the sugar content of those foods.
