  What I think he’s saying is that Glyphosate affects the shikimate pathway, which is a biological pathway in plants. This doesn’t exist in human cells, but it does exist in our gut microbiota.

  We also know now that Glyphosate is a glycine analogue and can displace glycine anywhere in protein synthesis, with unknown effects. It’s also likely an endocrine disrupter.

  Mass is not conserved.

  So it’s just jank, then?

  Sorry, couldn’t resist.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Nutritional Hexes⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  You should consider looking into the bioavailability of nutrients from meat vs legumes when factoring in value for money, also.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Nutritional Hexes⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  If all you need to do, as you say, is to “burn more and eat less”, then how come people with T1D lose weight while eating more? It’s physics, right?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Nutritional Hexes⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  Not only is it not set in stone, it appears that your BMR is affected by what you do. If not provided with sufficient nutrition, the body seems to adapt and lowers BMR.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Nutritional Hexes⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  The body isn’t a fire and food isn’t wood, so the analogy isn’t a very good one.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Nutritional Hexes⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  They could both be problems. White bread by itself, even without being sweetened, is still very high in carbohydrates which turns into glucose in the body.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Nutritional Hexes⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  Please point to another mechanism by which weight is lost.

  Type 1 diabetics, without treatment, can consume vast amounts of food (and hence as a result calories) and yet continue to waste away. How do you explain this with CICO?

  Madoff’s scheme lasted for 30 years or more, surely that means it’s worth something?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is cryptocurrency good for anything?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Crime.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What Phone do you guys use?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  CrDroid on 8 pro.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨what do you think is the future of the internet and tech in general?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  It will get increasingly locked down due to authoritarianism and corporate capture. Small pockets like the Fediverse persist, but it becomes harder and harder to use as regulators impose laws on more technology.

  We don’t care about your take either, Jeff. Now fuck off.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨thx for the diabeetus⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t know about highly. It’s better than not processing it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Young gamers in Japan may not be forming the same attachment to Final Fantasy or Dragon Quest because modern dev cycles are as long as their childhood, users theorize - AUTOMATON WEST⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Maybe because other games are more fun?

  RIP. The Dreamcast will always be my favourite console, thank you.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Fighting games have a product design problem⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  And that’s fine, not every game has to be for everyone.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon finds a glitch⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Imperfections in the surface of the container the water is in. Sorry, I intended to write ‘water in a container without asperites’!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon finds a glitch⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s interesting because very pure water without asperites can be heated above 100c at standard pressure at sea level without boiling. But once impurities are added to it it starts boiling vigorously!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Games you fell out of love with.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  World of Warcraft. Was addicted for the first hundred hours but then was disillusioned really quickly.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Japan cancels cherry blossom festival over complaints of tourists littering and ‘defecating’ in yards⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Yards in Japan don’t have to be broken into. In fact, often even the doors to the house are left unlocked. You can access the yard by walking into it from the street.

  Fair enough! Although I did not enjoy either, personally.

  Wow! Look at all the fun I’m going to have walking around!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why did I feel so hungry today for no reason?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  There are various tests for pre-diabetes, such as the homa-ir or hba1c assays. You could ask your physician to see if they can help you with that.
