Comment Maybe the words out? (Score 1) 50

Its best for criminals who create wealth from perceived scarcity? Quest for a greater fool? See also: Pressure on utilities for what purpose? Proof of work? this is linked to the Government inspired distractions were blessed with... this is how we empower criminals and allow the wealthy to leverage their position Just where is this value coming from? Contribution to advancing societies issues? Not seeing it.. What's the value that crypto presents? ( block chain is interesting, but that doesn't create value). Convince me otherwise. See Also DJT monotonic stock fail since election.

Comment Wake up, please. Don't save the Earth (Score 1) 147

Facts can be inconvenient and the rush to populate mars (and thereby obviating the need to keep earth inhabitable) is a fools errand. Push by 2 fools, one of which got elected. We really don't need to save the earth, it will be fine. The question is whether it will remain inhabitable.

Comment This sounds a LOT like projection. (Score 1) 396

That story title sounds like one of the elements from the GOP handbook: "Justify a Right leaning bias" by alleging need to combat (pre-existing) "Left leaning bias". Getting sick of this projection nonsense. Maybe it seems left leaning, since the dont know where center is... If all you know is "Trumplicanism", the center appears to be the "Left".

Comment All of your attentions are now belong to us. (Score 2) 173

Commercials started it... going down to 30 Sec sound bites... Now Tik Tok and Insta (etc) have cut our attention span to seconds... Commercials get LOUDER... Visuals get more compelling as our attention span gets abused. Role of facts is being "poo poo"ed by some that seem to want a more controllable, docile populace. Bring back the appreciation for lucidity! Coherency of thought! Bring back the perspicacity that builds on previous strengths. Creating a treadmill of sugary information and compelling-false-need ( "you need this product to be desirable") has not done us well. Seems to center on the worship of money, not contribution to society.

See Attached writes: Here is the SQL statement template that will tell us how much money you are saving us. Not the number of bad records for the population :

SELECT
        p.id,
        p.name,
        SUM(pay.amount) AS total_payments
FROM people p
JOIN payments pay ON p.id = pay.person_id
WHERE TIMESTAMPDIFF(YEAR, p.birthdate, CURDATE()) BETWEEN 140 AND 150
GROUP BY p.id, p.name;

You could fix those records by finding their death date or confuse us into thinking old means collecting. Red and blue alike don't want to pay benefits to dead people. Cut the deception. Prosecute the miscreants and yes publish these facts. Not just "red meat" implying Democrats approve of paying benefits to the dead.

Comment Shows how much they overcharged... (Score 1) 63

Seems like the margin was soooo high..it's less achievable as competition shows up. WhatsApp levels the P2P stuff.... Apple talks to Android with out compromise, as does Android -> Apple. Sorry Apple, welcome to your new peer neighbors. End Greedflation. It's been said before: "Think Different"

Comment Re: Need single payer or more rules about what mus (Score 1) 52

Health care is a profit industry with a health side gig. Nothing happen without financial justification. Google Trodusquemine and figure out why this was offed? A cure for metabolic disease?? Remove Atherosclerotic deposits? GLP1 seems an unnecessary financial load on health dollars.

Calories are related to use of a bomb calorimeter. thats observable, scientific, but not relevant to human utilization. Food has potential energy, ultimately boiling down to ATP -> ADP in cells powerhouse, but only if it makes it that far.. Limit the surges of sugar into blood. support your mucin layer with your intake: add fiber. If you can get your carbs past duodenum, and into jejunum, the gut bacteria that makes us what we are gets fed. Something like that... Feed your gut... Eating an orange delivers sugar but also fiber. Drinking Orange juice with only sugar is unrestrained sugar dump into your blood... ChatGPT challenge: "is a bomb calorimeter consistent with utilization of food by the human body" and "Is Dr Lustig right when he says a bomb calorimeter is not consistent with utilization of food by the human body"
