So… I’m confused. Inhibition of turning sugars to fat in your liver is very different from diabetes. In my understanding, that’s absorption of sugar into your cells

Is there a weight loss drug out there that mimics diabetes?

Bosch makes a solid hammer drill…I once drilled into a steel reinforcement in concrete and it melted the bit red hot into a tear drop, and it didn’t even stutter

But my Ryobi bits snapped multiple times the first time I used them (I used a center punch and proper form, they just snapped like glass the second I used carbide bits on a freaking aluminum alloy). Their power tools aren’t quite as bad, but they’re not noticeably better than harbor freight stuff. I genuinely believe black and Decker is better

Granted, I think Ryobi used to be way better…I think they got bought out used for the name a while back

DeWalt ftw. Granted, I keep getting told to wait for Christmas and getting black and Decker as gifts… It’s good enough to manage for my needs, but very noticeably worse

IME, Milwaukee is noticeably more hardy in cold temperatures, Ryobi is absolute garbage, and Makita is pretty good for hobbyist level

But I worked construction during college, and DeWalt was great, and Milwaukee was almost as good. The other two don’t deserve to be in the same list

Source? Garcinia Cambodia seems like an all around win, but I’m willing to do some serious reading on the subject… The effects are relatively small but statistically significant in clinical trials with almost no side effects, and I recommend it left and right.

I’ve certainly never smelled like acetone (I’m extremely sensitive to smells) but you seem like you have a cohesive opinion on the topic, I feel like we might both be right and there might be a learning opportunity here

And if I am making a trade off with my health, I’d like to know

Nah, that’s just with stuff like alli. What your guts absorb goes into your blood stream, you’d piss it out if your liver doesn’t process it into fat… For reasons we don’t fully understand, our gut microbiome stays in our gut.

If you mess with absorption, that happens… If you mess with the fat creation pathways, you just pee out sugars that would’ve been turned into fat

I would like the ability to change the speed of growth. Like, when you overeat, I’d love to just crank up hair and nail growth to burn away the excess

I will tell you, it’s not that hard to train your body to treat hunger differently. You just need to fast now and then, most religions have guidelines for this. It doesn’t take much to give you hunger resistance, and it makes a huge difference… You become less affected by low blood sugar and able to ignore hunger when you need to

After your body adjusts, hunger becomes cyclical - you feel hungry, maybe even nauseous, but then it goes away after a couple minutes. If you’re doing something, it’s so easy to ignore you forget about it

Not necessarily. I’m far from sold on the idea, but lungs are able to take in enough oxygen to hyperventilate easily, clothes would reduce the maximum air intake to some extent, but from l full capacity would be max you need to breathe to max out your muscles - everything past that would be excess capacity

If we’re going for redundancy and throughput, clothes probably would be more useful as a filter than being a limiter (and filtration is why I’m not on board with this design)

I think it’d go great.

I feel like they’d be horrified, and conquer our planet and force us all into therapy, but think they’d see us as worth helping

theneverfox, to memes in Duh !

Oh God, why did you capitalize that? Why is it capitalized???

I’m afraid

It’s really everybody, their problem is it doesn’t benefit their friends comparatively more

At the same time, Picard mostly sucked… But it was good enough for me to watch through

I feel like half the problem is that not all of us are on the same page. If I say “I think this sucked”, I want to talk about it, and if anything I hope someone will recontextualize it for me and make it more enjoyable.

I want to hash it out, because anyone who does that in good faith sharpens their own opinion. Maybe I’m wrong and they convince me to give it a second chance, maybe I’m wrong and realize I only liked it for nostalgia. Or maybe we realize our opinions differ, and narrow down the reason why

I don’t think I’d like Picard aside from nostalgia…I don’t think it was fun or artistically valuable, but I didn’t stop watching. I don’t think it’s good-If you like it, I’m not going to say you’re wrong, but I will argue no one should watch it if they don’t love Patrick Stuart already. Not even TNG, the rest of the crew was pretty hollow cameos - his character was badly written, but I watched it through because it was more of his character

theneverfox, to memes in How's this plan progressing?
@theneverfox@pawb.social avatar

That’s very ambiguous wording. Are they going to have cut all existing homeless people in half by that date, or legislate homeless people must be cut in half by that date?
