Who ever told anyone to drink soybean oil?

On the other hand, I consume massive amounts of flaxseed oil (insane amounts of omega3), olive oil, sunflower seed oil every single day. I have no issues with weight, no heart or blood vessel issues, blockages.

Ingredient isolation studies of foods are a complete disservice to scientific method.

Any particular food can be part of a healthy diet and lifestyle, absolutely any.

People today are sedentary, just look at natives living in wilderness across the world. They gorge on honey, occasionally eat meat and have insanely strong skeletons and muscles. Look at others that eat only meat, milk and blood, have massive amounts of atherosclerotic plaque, but given their lifestyle in the wilderness, their blood vessels expand and are insanely flexible, only a few unlucky ones die of heart attack very young.

The RDA for Calcium in Western world is so high due to sedentary lifestyle not promoting usage of calcium by the body. There are healthy populations, consuming half the amount and have even less bone fractures.


This is unfortunately highly unlikely. A lot of EU politics depends on the pockets of rich Russian oil firms.

Just look at Austria, very rich but obviously Russian run EU country. (latest prime minister got fired by Russians even though Russia cyberarmy helped him win the elections. They decided he was no longer as compliant, so they leaked data many years after elections, Russian scandals several years before that etc.). Raiffeisen bank in Austria, basically launders money for Russians over the last several decades, with no consequences to the chief officers.

Hungary is another good example.

Another Austrian neighbor, Croatia, not rich, and less influenced by Russians, had one of the biggest scandals ever when the biggest privately owned company in the Balkans (owned by a Croatian), that employs a massive amounts of Croatians, went bankrupt and could have been acquired by creditors (Sberbank and VTB Bank). I guess there was not enough Russian influence in politics and Croatian government put a new law immediately, so that this kind of takeover does not happen (Croatia nationalized the company).

Russia has quite a large reach into EU.


> Just look at Austria, very rich but obviously Russian run EU country.

This is just nonsense. Austrian government is not by any means run "by the Russians". Russia has been trying to enlarge it's sphere of influence in the west for a while now (which is nothing exceptional geopolitically speaking) and has few retired politicians working in the Russian private sector (Schröder [DE], Schüssel [AT], Fillion [FR], etc.). But to say that Austria and others are "obviously run by the Kremlin" is a blatant lie.

Greets from Austria


Yes indeed, 'cleancoder0' seems to have gained their understanding of middle Europe from a Tom Clancy novel, or whatever.

For many of us in Europe, including Austria, peace with Russia is considered a very good thing, and a lot of us want it, having lived through the enmities of hate and spite that was hoisted upon us during the Cold War.

Imagine if, indeed, the economic powerhouse of Europe+Russia were allowed to happen. If only certain entities weren't so committed to profiting from the balkanization of everything, hmm...


All power blocks have large influences into each other. That is basically the definition of being powerful in international diplomacy. You just notice it less (or caring about it less) when it's your own block influencing someone else.


Kurz got booted because of run of the mill power politics and because his clique was arrogant, careless, not very effective and made more than enough enemies. No outside influence needed. But its funny, russian propagandist standpoint is that he got ousted because he stood up to the EU: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oAhtC20nqjk


It is extremely amusing to consider that - from an American perspective - it takes "Russian Interference" for Austrian politics to be so screwed up.

Such naiveté begets the truth, which is that Americans falling for this trope really know nothing about Austrian political habits, whatsoever.

Kurz fell because Kurz was dumb and corrupt from the very beginning, and his party simply incompetent, and we are all glad to have seen him in the rear view mirror.

In fact, American agitprop'ers may not know this, but crediting Russia with Kurz' dismissal only makes us more willing to make deals with the Russkies.


> latest prime minister got fired by Russians even though Russia cyberarmy helped him win the elections.

Actual source? This "russian disinformation" and "russian election manipulation" has zero credibility if you read and listen to anything other than CNN at this point. Please send me actual proof before making claims like this.


I dont think CNN ever reported something like this.


This is outrageous agitprop/misinformation.

If "Russian influence" is on the table, then so is "CIA influence".

Or wait, lets talk about "General Dynamics Influence", and yes, with a capital-I.

And then we shall proceed to the discussion of which particular entity has the most actual blood on its hands, of innocents, as rapidly as possible.


I remember returning after the soundtrack change and it did not feel the same. Thousand needles, Tanaris, barrens, zulfarrak were great in Vanilla.


SQLite does not support column based optimizations. Time series data is insanely compressible.


Zero suppressed binary decision diagrams are the best


I do not like Hugo at all. Quite hard to map data inside templates.


I once took a 5 hour bike trip on an empty stomach. At some point I couldn’t even turn the pedals. I had to lay on the ground, not feeling better even after half hour. I can still remember the feeling of eating some sweets. Felt like I was reborn. Can’t imagine what it’s like for T1


The interesting thing is that your BG levels may have actually been fine. Physical exhaustion doesn't necessarily lead to hypoglycemia in a healthy person. Hypoglycemia feels significantly different than just being hungry, for example.

A bizarre phenomenon: feeling stuffed because you ate a huge meal, but having a hypo anyway. You don't want to eat anything because you're not hungry, but feel an overwhelming urge to stuff your face with sweets anyway.


I worked in the university library and a few times a year we had girls studying for hours on empty stomachs (brains consuming glucose is a different process from normal). They usually felt dizzy, were bleak and confused and were sometimes sweating and usually came to ask for some OTC painkiller or something. Usually gave them some of my dextrose tablets and someone's lunch and almost always it was fine a few minutes later. I'm pretty sure they had hypoglycemia. Though for (us) diabetics hypoglycemia where we start feeling it isn a considerably lower blood glucose level than for most regular people so there is some difference in how far you are gone down the rabbit hole already.


This necessity of eating after you overate but mis-treated is one of the worst feelings in T1. You know you screwed up and you know you're going to pay for it, because you'll probably spike later and you don't know if it is the big meal you just ate or the snack you ate to keep from going low first. I love pizza, my body hates pizza


You were likely short of potassium too. This is why professional cyclists pack bananas for the ride.


You weren't necessarily hypoglycemic, just low on glycogen. The former is a life threatening condition, the latter is more of a deep exhaustion.


well put. After swimming 10km on a empty stomach that first glass of chocolate milk and a banana were near psychedelic. Obviously not the same life threatening situation as a diabetic but I can imagine there'd be some similarity to the experiences


is this like “the wall” marathon runners are said to experience?


Yeah. Runners call it the wall; cyclists call it "bonking".

I've been told that it can come on more suddenly and acutely for cyclists. As a marathoner I find that I feel it coming for several miles, which is tens of minutes. The activities are somewhat different so it's not impossible that they manifest differently.

But the basic idea is similar. You've got so much readily available glycogen in the body, and when it runs out, you have to shift to a different metabolic pathway -- and your body starts sending up warnings that you are rapidly running out of reserves and must stop now.

It's as much mental as physical at that point.


Yeah, this goes full FP with fp-ts (although it's TypeScript). The only thing I hate about it is brackets everywhere.

    pipe(
      xs,
      reverse,
      A.map(addOne),
    )


Is student debt with variable interest rates or just a fixed rate?

Because variable interest rates can get quite high due to inflation.



The impact should be in the 0.001%, compared to all of the other activities, like heating, cooling, meat heavy diet, driving a car every day, taking 1 transcontinental flight obliterates all savings from not driving a car for a year.
