I think there's a balance to consider. Not having protectionism destroys industries locally which is why manufacturing in the US has declined significantly since the 80s.

Even if the wait times get bad sometimes, isn't it worth the wait at times rather than going bankrupt? I think it's...a great trade off.

There are wait time problems in US too but maybe not as common.

Universal healthcare, strong working class, strong k-12 education, govt mandated work/life balance & child support, abortion, free from a large population of Christian (protestant) nationalism that influences politics at every level... why yes, yes I do.

Love Shpongle, saw him for the first time last year (as Simon Posford live) and it blew my mind.

He's playing in Denver for 2 shows on Halloween weekend btw! I'd catch him since he's technically "retired"

I'd imagine all the GPS data could be loaded into the system beforehand and updated when there is a consistent signal. The same way cars now deal with GPS.

I know it's mentioned in the article for long term but for the first couple weeks was there any difference in brain functioning? I'm not talking about anything severe, but if you have a job where you are using a lot of brain power, I'd imagine very low carb diet seems to be a little counter-intuitive. Like the article said the brain gets energy from ketones but is it the same amount/enough energy as regular carbs? Do you feel slightly slower, possibly more tired when performing longer challenging tasks? I've dieted very strictly before with a lack of carbs but also a huge deficit of calories and couldn't think nearly as quick. I agree lack of calories was the primary reason for this but it also seems very low carbs could contribute to constraining optimal brain output.
