Yea, their overall composition still improved of course, because they lost more than 50% in fat. But they lost more lean mass than people who lose that weight in other ways, is my understanding.

> The point I am trying to make is that the Russian people seem to be equally incredulous to the idea that Russia itself is the aggressor.

You may want to point this crowd to some sources about that incredulity being widespread in Russia.

> How is it that the Russian media has such a hold over them - in this day of the internet and other forms of communication?

There is a language barrier at play here - Russian natives may not be able to avail English-media content, and I do wonder about how much russian language counter-programming is widely available to the average Russian.

> And if Russia can have such a hold, why couldn't OUR government have such an equal hold over US.

Russia is practically a dictatorship, while the US is a functioning democracy. That said, within the last 2 decades we have seen the US invade Iraq for no good reason, with significant support from the population resulting in Bush's re-election. Granted, the US people finally threw those responsible out of power for a couple of cycles (albeit for a mix of reasons, including poor economic performance). Meanwhile the Russian people do not appear to have that luxury of being able to peacefully remove Putin from power for any reason.

Price discovery. It's basic supply and demand. How can you cut short the supply and don't expect an increase in prices? Only if you assume a correspondent decrease in demand - again, as I said, not totally obvious to me. If anything, more free time would lead to more demand for services.
Hi, OP here. I have to say that I'm a human (as far as I know) my account is new, because I didn't have anything to share before, and now I have a great motivation to be complaining somewhere.

If you are interested, listen to some McWhorter lectures on linguistics—he will explain why this happens and how it remains part of a dialect or language. Many word spellings or pronunciations that are part of “proper” English started out as “poor” pronunciation or spelling 150-200 years ago.
I love these « benefits » because they are all incredibly shallow. Trucks are better in snow, assuming the snow isn’t cleared where you are. For the vast majority of the urban population, ground clearance isn’t an issue at all.

The flip side of increased interior room is exterior width, poor site lines, increased weight, increased energy waste, increased danger to pedestrians, increased road wear…
OGD was going to be my bet too.
You're getting the causation reversed. These people are overeating because they're obese, not the other way around.
A big factor is the height of the hood. When a smaller car hits a pedestrian, the hood is usually at or slightly under the pedestrian's center of mass, so the person will often roll up onto the hood. In a bigger car the hood is substantially above the center of mass so that a person cannot roll up --- they end up being forced under the car, which is much more dangerous.
>So you are saying China don't want their neighbors to defend themselves?

Absolutely not, and especially so if those neighbors were aligning with the USA. Do you think China would be excited about Taiwan or Mongolia forming a military alliance with the USA? Even if it is defensive?

Read point 2. It clearly condemns defensive Alliances.

“The security of a region should not be achieved by strengthening or expanding military blocs.“

...

“All parties should oppose the pursuit of one's own security at the cost of others' security, prevent bloc confrontation, and work together for peace and stability on the Eurasian Continent.“

I can't think of another way to read this
This is a joke, right?

Just because Putin says those people are Russians so he can claim some clay, doesn't make it a fact.

Sure some are ethnically Russian, but that doesn't make them Russian citizens of the Federal Russian Republic.

They are Moldovan citizens. Transnistria is a rouge separatist nation that's not internationally recognized and only exists on paper because Russia is a nuclear power which has troops and weapons there and Moldova is too weak to do anything about it.
You are not wrong. Trust your senses.

The beans taste different at an individual level so what you are tasting is an average of the beans that are used to make that cup of coffee.

Typically beans grown under similar conditions will taste similarly. Because of this coffee farmers will sometimes separate the coffee grown on parts of their farm into "micro lots" that contain particular individual characteristics.

In regards to the temperature you are right also. There is dynamic interplay between bitter, sweat, salty, sour and umami that goes on while the beverage cools. After all, brewing coffee is just applied chemistry whether you realise it or not.

The only time you should not trust your senses is when they are compromised or if you are someone who is highly open to suggestion. Even then your senses are still correct in your experience. You just can't extrapolate this experience out to a percentage of the general population.

Language makes also makes discussing taste confusing too because when people are saying "this tastes bitter" what they are often saying is "this tastes bitter to me" Also taste often gets bundled with smell so when people say "this tastes like raspberries" it can be unclear whether they are referring to the sugars, acids etc. that are tasted or the aromatic compounds that are smelt or both. Synesthesia can also be experienced too ie. things that smell like vanilla can "smell sweet" to some people.

This is off the cuff. I have no idea what that ceiling would even be, or whether this is a terrible idea.
Good point; I was trying to talk about the standard company wide training on communication and privilege.

That’s a very one dimensional view. I love my bike, but riding in the winter is a miserable experience that I would avoid if any alternative existed.

It’s not even a safety issue, it’s simply uncomfortable and expensive to get outfitted with appropriate gear. Not everyone lives in San Diego.

That doesn’t mean that robust bicycle infrastructure shouldn’t exist.

> In addition to non-compete clauses, other types of contractual provisions restrict what a worker may do after they leave their job. These other types of provisions include, among others:

That should impact companies like Revature which have a notorious repayment of "training".
Sure, you can pay that person enough so that they won’t leave. You can retain people without a non-compete

There aren’t any exercise (in whatever amount) that lead to fat loss? Sounds like massive cope.
It’s extremely obvious that doing something like running every day (if it leads to a calorie deficit) will make you lose fat.

From the linked article:

>Among these patients, lean mass accounted for approximately 39% of total weight loss – substantially higher than ideal. In a substudy of 178 patients from the SUSTAIN 8 trial on semaglutide as a diabetes treatment, the average proportion of lean mass loss was nearly identical at 40%, despite lower doses and less total weight loss than in the STEP 1 trial. [...]

Or in other words, 60% of the weight loss was in fat. The article paints this as concerning, but doesn't provide justification why. Sure, it'd be better to have 0% lean body mass loss, but how does 40% stack compared to calorie deficit diets? The mechanism of action behind the drugs is to cause you to eat less, and if the side effects are consistent with eating less, I don't see why people should be extra concerned.
Is there any downside wrt. how this would affect the GDP? Intuitively, this means more competition and higher GDP.
That's typical in finance, right? They want a 1-year noncompete, so you get "garden leave": can't work for a competitor, but still on the payroll.

Aside from the new Settings screen, I feel as good about macOS as I ever have. Linux I'd prefer for predictable servers, but they're different things. Mac still lets me get shit done as productively as I let myself do it. I'm sure Linux can be that way too, but I'm not looking for an alternative. Windows still feels like garbage.

The few things I'd really like to see in the next pro laptops, are LTE built-in, and more interesting colours than silver and grey. A forest green 14" Macbook Pro with 96gb (or 128gb of ram), the best processors and battery life I can buy, and zero noise, is beyond perfect for development for my needs.
The sources I'm seeing that say 200k include injuries. Combined with your source on actual deaths, that puts injuries:deaths at around 10:1, which sounds right.

Maybe more people should be contractors and this would be written in as part of the agreement.

I’m not sure what point you are trying to make by describing the exception.

No they don’t “just ignore it”. The studies that show this harm comes from Meta research themselves.
> Can you make a case for me to learn Vim?

If you're coming from nano, I'd point to:

1) UI improvements like better syntax highlighting, split windows and tabs, and mouse support.

2) A cohesive language of key bindings that allows you to easily construct and perform commands like "delete everything from the cursor up to the next quotation mark" or "lower-case this paragraph".

3) A huge library of scripts and extensions to add or extend features like syntax highlighting and indentation rules for new languages, Git integration, or language server support (which provides IDE-style features like jump-to-definition, error/warning indications, and autocompletion)
Why are nondisclosure agreements not sufficient for this kind of concern? If the concern is taking what they learned from you, why do you need a non-compete instead of requiring them not to share what they learned?

To me it seems that non-competes are a very blunt instrument to lazily solve problems that could be solved more focused solutions.
You're trying to claim that people in China can't understand whether their government works for them or not. This is a profoundly absurd claim. The fact that you don't understand that is absolutely shocking.

Here's a Harvard research center study of long-term public opinion survey showing that Chinese citizens overwhelmingly approve of their government

https://news.harvard.edu/gazette/story/2020/07/long-term-sur...

Here's a summary of studies finding that China is in fact more democratic than the US

https://en.news-front.info/2020/06/27/studies-have-shown-tha...

Another Harvard study https://ash.harvard.edu/publications/understanding-ccp-resil...

And another survey https://www.csmonitor.com/World/Asia-Pacific/2021/0218/Vilif...

All of these western sources, and all agree on this point.

Furthermore, why don't we take a look at the tangible outcomes of the policies of the CPC to see why the government enjoys such high support, and why people in China consider their country democratic. Chinese government practically eliminated extreme poverty. https://news.cgtn.com/news/2019-10-17/Graphics-Ending-China-...

In fact, China is the only place in a world where any meaningful poverty reduction is happening. If we take China out of the equation poverty actually increased in real terms:

If we take just one country, China, out of the global poverty equation, then even under the $1.90 poverty standard we find that the extreme poverty headcount is the exact same as it was in 1981.

https://www.currentaffairs.org/2019/07/5-myths-about-global-...

The $1.90/day (2011 PPP) line is not an adequate or in any way satisfactory level of consumption; it is explicitly an extreme measure. Some analysts suggest that around $7.40/day is the minimum necessary to achieve good nutrition and normal life expectancy, while others propose we use the US poverty line, which is $15.

https://www.cgdev.org/blog/12-things-we-can-agree-about-glob...

China also massively invests in infrastructure. They used more concrete in 3 years than US in all of 20th century https://www.forbes.com/sites/niallmccarthy/2014/12/05/china-...

China has built 27,000km of high speed rail in a decade https://www.railjournal.com/passenger/high-speed/ten-years-2...

90% of families in the country own their home giving China one of the highest home ownership rates in the world. What’s more is that 80% of these homes are owned outright, without mortgages or any other leans. https://www.forbes.com/sites/wadeshepard/2016/03/30/how-peop...

Real wage (i.e. the wage adjusted for the prices you pay) has gone up 4x in the past 25 years, more than any other country https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cw8SvK0E5dI

Meanwhile I switched from Linux to an M2 Macbook Air and am quite satisfied with it. The hardware is everything I wanted for years and while the OS could be better it at least isn't Windows 11.

Yes, Linux is still better in my opinion. But my main problem is the difficulty of finding an actually Linux compatible laptop combined with the consequences of making the wrong choice. Mac OS isn't that bad, works out of the box and if the Asahi project keeps up that pace I might be able to use that laptop beyond the support period.

How the hell is this a thing. I can understand if they did this post litigation being filed then it would be a problem.

How is a company supposed to anticipate when and where the government is going to file charges and keep records for them waiting.

If the government was concerned they should have filed the lawsuit sooner not in 2020

Very easy method for good coffee with an okay grinder: use a Hario switch or similar immersion brewer. Very forgiving. Heat water to roughly 200f and add water first in a 16:1 ratio. Add beans on top and let sit however long. Maybe like 5+ minutes. If the coffee is astringent grind corser. If it seems weak either up the ratio to 1:15 or 1:14 or grind finer. Very easy, repeatable, good, almost as quick as a drip.

Water is very important to a cup of coffee. It is mostly water. I would suggest you make your own or use a brand of bottled water.

Never a Windows user, I have been a Unix/Linux user since 1991. (Unix from 1991 to 2001, Linux from 2001-now)

Around 2006, I bought a MacBook. I REALLY, REALLY wanted that MacBook to convince me that a Mac was 'the best thing since sliced bread'.

Over the next year or so, I really tried to absorb the MacOS lifestyle. I was an abject failure. There were so many things about MacOS that just didn't mesh with any Unix-like OS that I had ever seen. (And MacOS is really BSD under the bonnet, with an overlay of Apple's Windows Manager.)

And don't get me started on Apple's DRM bullshit, where they deliberately make software and file-structures more obfuscated than necessary.

Let's just say that a year or two in the MacOS world made me horribly disillusioned about Apple and its philosophy.

It was such a relief to get back to the Linux/Unix world of freedom.
