Factorio will challenge all of your mental capabilities

It’s a automated test to see if you will log in to Google or if you walk away.

This is why it’s so inconsistent… It’s only sometimes, it changes if you change browsers or vpn endpoints. They make money from logged out users, so they are testing to see if they can push users into logging in without losing money.

Feeling fat isn’t just about being fat, it’s about knowing you could be better for your health.

If a partner says they’re feeling fat, it probably means there’s something they think they should be doing but they’re not doing.

Maybe they want to eat better, maybe they want to exercise, maybe they think they should be doing these things even though they don’t want to be doing these things.

When the partner emotes to you, you can use that as a point to help them improve, or go on a fitness journey with them, or just reaffirm that you find them attractive. It’s just an open dialogue option

Max headroom would like to have a word.

Things humans can do that ai can’t, currently do, politicking, sleeping to the top, building a brand outside of work, demonstrating integrity

I know this is a political post, but I’m going to respond to the longevity part

Telomeres in the human genome would indicate the maximal lifespan of about 120 years.

I don’t think it’s normal for humans to become diminished as they age. Dementia, Alzheimer’s, type 2 diabetes, these are not historic problems. These are new plagues of prosperity that we’re dealing with in the modern context.

Something with our industrial food system, or our medical system, or are farming system… Is making old age less graceful then it could be.

My new life goal: live long, die fast.

That is a great point! there is debate about our diagnostic capabilities improving. However, pick a year, any year and use that as year zero. We still have to account for the geometric growth of cancer after that year.

Going back to pre-1900s cancer, it was seen on rare occasions, if it was as common as today (50% of westerners will have cancer in their lives) then it would have shown up with some frequency in the historical medical literature.

I would use the same thought experiment for type 2 diabetes, cardio vascular disease (someone would have made a record of otherwise healthy people just falling over dead randomly in the streets), etc… the modern chronic diseases all appear to have a common starting point in the historical record >1900, which suggests a common cause. I think metabolic health is the most likely unifying theory, I could be wrong, but improving metabolic health doesn’t hurt.

We know there is a 3x risk of cancer for people with obesity. We know there is a 3x risk of cancer for people with type 2 diabetes. We also know global obesity is going up, and type 2 diabetes is going up. There are almost 1 billion people in the world diagnosed with T2D. The country with the highest T2D rate is also the country that eats the least amount of meat (India). Some new thing has happened globally since 1900 to cause this change.

Health effects associated with consumption of processed meat, sugar-sweetened beverages and trans fatty acids: a Burden of Proof study

Study title… CNN title is only about meat.

A meta-analysis of observational epidemiology

All of the issues with epidemiology apply

• association is not causation
• hypothesis generating only
• healthy user confounders
• people eating meat are often eating high carbohydrate diets
• metabolic context of the participants
• food frequency questionnaires filled out yearly or every 4 years.

I don’t have access to the paper, it hasn’t made it to the Free Academic circles yet, so I haven’t been able to read it.

Is everything we eat associated with cancer? A systematic cookbook review

I personally think the reason EVERYTHING is linked to cancer, as well as the massive surge in cancer since the 1900s, is all due to the modern metabolism (sugar burners) being very different then pre-1900 metabolism (fat burners)

• High carbohydrate load, high blood glucose load, high insulin levels
• Industrial Oil, systemic body inflammation
• Agrochemical contamination of food supply, more systematic inflammation

The problem with these observational studies is they don’t look at the modern metabolic context, so in this context, yes EVERYTHING is associated with cancer - because the studies arn’t looking at the right variables.

This is exactly why hard science doesn’t use association to draw conclusions, epidemiology is hypothesis generating only

If you haven’t read about the Metabolic Theory of Cancer I highly recommend giving it a read. It’s a much more compelling model, and explains the surge of cancer since 1900, as well as actionable steps to reduce incidence (reduce sugar and inflammation).

The one benefit of Fiat physical cash is anybody can use it, it has no opinions on its owner. But yes, its very much a economic weapon wielded by countries.

I’m pretty sure you can buy coke and hookers with Monero today

They already do, just some people. Like the ICC prosecutor that was sanctioned by the US and can’t have email service, bank accounts with any organization that wants to do business with the USA. I think thats the reason Germany is dropping microsoft.

Anything is better then the cookie that deceives you in to thinking it’s chocolate

Make friends in meat space. Have activities you do with other people regularly

I’d just use rubber tape around the lip. Once the cables are in place they don’t move, so it’s really temporary while pulling new cable

One town I lived in had a promotion where police would pull people over to give them some gift certificate for good driving.

I want to be positive, but I kinda see it as a excuse for more police contacts… if you don’t pull over for the lights and sirens for your “gift card” is it now evading arrest?

Session was a good idea, but not implemented well

All file attachments go to a central server I think in Canada

They copied the signal protocol, and monero, to build their application but they removed perfect forward secrecy. Because it was hard to implement. This means of any session device ever gets compromised, somebody can look at the entire conversation from packets they captured on the wire

I’m much more excited about simplex and briar

I’m actually running a CRS310-8G+2S+IN right now in a otherwise all ubiquity network. No issues. I chose it for fiber termination purposes. The ubiquity topology tool dumps it at the gateway in the graphic (shrug)
