Vic 20’s crappy cassette tapes are probably why I became a network admin instead of a programmer: 9 times out of 10 the cassettes never actaully saved my hours long programming sessions.

The simplest and most accurate statement is that it’s an emergent result of the principles of capitalism combined with human nature and not a plot to keep us down.

Science doesn’t reinvent itself every couple of years either: new discoveries build upon a foundation of old discoveries. Software is more like the fashion industry.

I gave myself the title “IT Janitor” because for years all I did was clean up other people’s $4!7. I automated everything I touched, and told people it was so I would have more time to surf the Internet. Now I’m over 50, in the Innovation group, and dreading ever having to find a new job. But I’m having fun: blockchain, robotics, mobile app dev, and now NLP.

Re:Type 2 diabetes: NHS to offer 800-calorie diet treatment

T2 is related to glucose ingestion(sugar, carbs) NOT fat. Glucose spikes your insulin, and the continued, extreme spiking of insulin is what causes T2.

Type 1, maybe. Type 2, not at all. In fact, a ketogenic diet will reduce or eliminate the symptoms of T2.

You dont get keto acidosis by eating low carb, that is misinformation.

My take is that lower metabolism is just a lower ‘power saver’ mode for the body, and, like a computer, results in slower ‘processing ‘

Conflating bridge building with public speech is not a good analogy: one is physics, the other chaos.
I do not like to see distasteful ideas put forth where i can see them, but what happens when our opinions on what is distasteful are in opposition?
It is Gabs right to, but not a responsibility to block content they find objectionable on their platform. And the first amendment clearly defines our RIGHT (note:defines, not gives) to say whatever we want, no matter how distasteful some may think it.
Edit for fumble fingers

Gab can reasonably claim safe-harbor over this. If they are not censoring user’s posts, then they shouldn’t be held liable.
Go-Daddy is 100% within their rights to kick Gab off of their service. But silencing certain speech is not, in my opinion, a smart way to prevent atrocities like this in the future.
