Any CCP product is a security risk ... from cat-rubbers to routers. Clever devils aren't they, pushing so many sock-puppets onto < /. > to  defend  interests of heavens-gateway. I advise dumping all of their shite into the Pacific and make and end of it. Chinese military takes a hit,  lots more jobs for American workers and pure-play American sociopath investors get screwed. bWhat's not to love ?

I thought the "over-throwers" were ranch owning  cattle-barons. You could be right and I wrong.  NOTE: I have zero sympathy for mercantile colonialism. But. when I here terms like "1st-nation / 1st-people  etc "  whether in Hawaii or SAfrica  or New Zealand or Palestine or North America my amatuer historian revolts. It's blood and conquest all-the-way-down. Bet when the current Hawaiian allele-set immirated in , the few wanderers/*.erectus  living on Maui were quickly sacrificed to the volcano-god ... just  like the Yamnaya did to Northern Europeans. Assume the worst ... it's always true.

You would think, if mathematics is  sequential "marks on paper", then a kind of "printing machine" would do quite well generating novel combinations of those marks. Just like LLMs are very good at generating combinations of  alphabet letters ... so too generalkized "marks".  However, if a particular "marks on paper" can only be generated thru  "not-currently existing" paper-marks then the machine {LLM ) is in for a hard time. I believe this is a form of Godels Theorem.

Animal fats are NOT detrimental to health. The killers are sugar, salt and low-bran carbs.  You are correct, though, in that Western people eat too much food. Most humans do best on a 24-hour food cycle .. with bran-heavy foods used as snacks. One nice meat-meal per-day interspersed with fresh veggies & dark berries.

Because nobody was every "first" on any land. Current residents butchered-off the bronze-age farmers who offed stone-age gatheres  which itself had butchered off a hunter/scavenge  culture which itself had butchered off some  of homo-sapien.x which in turn had butchered-off a homo.erectus batch of wanderers.  Do you think  <10-K BP>  Beringian migrants thru the ice-sheets treated  much earlier  < 40-K BP > kelp-highway explorers with respect? And so on ... and so on. Land occupation everywhere/everytime   is bloody slaughter all-the-way-down. Nothing special about savage Pacific Islanders. Perhaps ... IVC is the one exception ... south-Indian paleo-guy please comment.

Remaining Hawaiian natives fantasize a primitive paradise, where volcano gawds and warlords & priests  slaughter sacrificial  victims much like the Azteca to ensure bananas, coconuts and pineapples fall from the trees. Just another pretentious neo-stone age culture riding Western industrialization while bitching incessantly.  Spiritual sensitivity my azzwhole;  rise early, grab a beer and sit on the beach;  remind you of anyone ?  Most Hawaiian   natives who wanted to DO something productive   long-ago migrated to California ,  had their farms stolen during WW2, then worked for Hughes or Rocketdyne and finally moved to Texas/Florida . So I have been told by a native.

But, more animal protein ( think porterhouse steak , southern fried chicken , pork chops etc ) makes human life more joyful. Taste and texture and carcinogenic "browning" put a smile on human faces. Since life is about maximizing pleasure, minimizing pain and generating variety,  only  masochist  fanatics  or guilt-ridden fools eat a Spartan diet. They "buy" a few tedious extra years without "living" any of those  years before !!  Foodies rule !  Too bad for those (few) with a "weak" nutritional constitution

Your skepticism is well-founded. Before going on a strict diet I read-up. The popular science that gets out I found very confusing  and often contradictory. My comment on timing comes from a well-referenced source and comes close to my own experience. Those folks practicing temporary fasts to hit the 18-hr limit are not crazys. Weight loss ... eat less I guess you probably lose weight .. I lost 55 pounds by eating every-other day while snacking one  protein bar.

"You can generally get enough of each if you eat a varied whole-foods plat-based diet especially one including beans and nuts and seeds etc.."

Absolutely yes.  If you are wealthy enough to buy most protein at $20/pound. And not poison yourself on pine-nuts or rhubarb or mushrooms   or mercury-laced Tuna.  But, you can get sausage and  4% cottage cheese for 1/4rd that price.

"There's an increase in a hormone called FGF21 that promotes energy expenditure [when protein intake is reduced]," Lamming said. "It essentially increases thermogenesis in your adipose tissue, so you don't just store fat, but actually burn it as fuel."

Generally,  after eating,  humans burn  sugar for 12 hours, then fat for 6 hours  and finally  screwed-up polypeptides ... perhaps new protein consumption interrupts  self-cleaning.

For non-IT tek people, Linux has been "usable enough" for 20 years. Many science guys jumped directly from Unix to Linux both at-lab and at-home. If you're hacking your own code Fortran/C is Linux mothers-milk. OTOH  it's the  Main-Street/Wall-Street business-folks with rigid work-flows that needed the well-disciplined  Microsoft "highway".
