  1. That's a pretty important and functional use. Won't work on a Tesla though.
  2. Jeffrey M. Friedman, 15 Science Translational Medicine, November 22, 2023, speaking of GLP-1 agonists and health improvements they drive. "It is impossible to overstate the public health implications of these developments. Obesity is an independent risk factor that greatly increases mortality risk and is estimated to carry a $173 billion burden for the American health care system alone. It is also a significant problem in the rest of the developed world and a growing one in the developing world. Although concerns about the cost of some of these emerging, more effective drugs have been raised, their potential health benefits make it imperative to develop means for ensuring that they find their way to patients who need them." "In addition to their impact on the treatment of metabolic disease, the substantial weight loss that is now achievable should help mitigate the personal and societal consequences of this disorder [obesity]. The identification of mutant genes that cause human obesity and the current availability of effective treatments vitiates the notion that food intake and body weight can be controlled by volition alone. Obesity is arguably the most stigmatized human condition, and in addition to their health benefits, this generation of treatments should lay to rest the unfair treatment that many people with obesity endure."
  3. Related...we're only barely starting to understand this concept, where "cause" is incorrectly. Old age "causes" prostate cancer, in nearly 100% of men, if they live long enough. Eating X causes Y disease (cancer, obesity, whatever). Too simple, not correct. https://nintil.com/causality-biology/ Some thoughts on causality in biological systems 2023-11-26; Last updated: 2023-11-26 Wordcount: 1320 | Reading time: 7 min • Biology • Is this article wrong? Sometimes one reads discussions of causality in academic papers. Expressions like "this gene causes that" or "Alzheimer's Disease (AD) is caused by XYZ". Or of course, "We don't know what causes X". Recently I found myself thinking about these three statements: We don't know what causes Alzheimer's yet (eg here at NIA) Old age does not cause Alzheimer's, but it is the most important risk factor for the disease (also here at NIA) Aging causes Alzheimer's (eg here at Fightaging) What does causality mean there? How can something be a risk factor but not a cause? Intriguing! People (philosophers excluded perhaps) ususually don't think much when they throw around the word cause, but in biology, from the way the word is used, "X causes Y" tends to mean "X is necessary and sufficient for Y".
  4. New evidence is showing that CICO is far from universal. WHAT the calories are is being proven to matter, and it seems to also correlate with gut bacteria telling your brain what to eat.
  5. https://prod-streaming-video-msn-com.akamaized.net/8ef08ef3-6570-4a2c-b52f-ca2a48d15de8/d490b73a-524d-48d9-a1a3-12a65250.ism/manifest(format=m3u8-aapl) This was a note from the person who sent the link to me: I know some people can work out and diet and stay thin. But is everyone the same? I like the messaging in this video from WW. I fought weight and lost all my life. I have one lean son and one cubby son. My (youngest) chubby son works out 2 hours 5x a week. He works as a package handler in a warehouse 5 hours a day. He likes vegetables and meat. He was a chubby todler. We don't have lots of junk food in our home. He is about 150 lbs overweight. I am gently trying to direct him to trying Zep before he ends up diabetic like I did at 30. He is a decade away.
  6. I can't believe I only recently figured this out. You can do so much with them, where even heavy duty nylon zips have trouble. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0B7QNBM6D?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details
  7. Of course. Put up the clear covers and a little heater in the cockpit.
  8. Other than the ugly logo on one? To add to the confusion, googling the Sea Doo part shows a video of them drilling out the end of the bars to fit a weird bar end attachment. But clearly the pics show a simple bar clamp. I would think that Sea-Doo, Ski-Doo, and motorcycles all use the same bar size. Also I learned that some retards put these and heated grips on Sea-Doos and go run them on partially frozen lakes. https://brp.my.salesforce-sites.com/ISPublicArticleInfo/apex/BWLightningViewerWithTranslate?#id=kA0a0000000h3dhCAA&googtrans(en|en_US) https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07L6NBN1X?smid=A2EPE15NO912P&psc=1 https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00R2DG6L0?smid=A39FJCYQH332X0&psc=1 https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0BFDSM59K?smid=A5P1774QJ6DP3&psc=1
  9. With nearly every project, you have the opportunity to do it with more work, make it less reliable, and spend more money. Why would you take the easy way out?
  10. Be careful with this; I have started seeing parts just not sell at all on eBay.
  11. Happy to mail these to anyone who can use them, we upgraded phones and don't need them. Quadlock rugged case for the 14 Pro Max, and a Kevlar ultra slim case for the 14 Pro (not Max). Both have MagSafe add-on magnets. Post up if you want it then send a PM with an address.
  12. Tapping my finger on where I know the hole to be, you can hear it. But it seems fine. Pushed and it dented, but bounced back. Although stupidly expensive, it solves an annoyance of stalling a project for multiple drying periods. Also these thumb-size holes are such a pain to fill; kinda too big for light spackle, too small for a plug fill.
  13. Some of usyou are getting old and showing it.
  14. Some of my neighbors have started locking their cars. I guess we had some kids run through and pilfer stuff left in open cars.
  15. Discovered this today, no idea how long it has existed. Everyone at Lowe's looked at me like I was retarded when I asked for it (and obviously, I'm not claiming they are wrong in general). Sand/clean area. Apply sticker. Paint, let dry, 15-30 minutes. Remove cover. Paint. Done. Unfortunately it did most de-texture the wall, so I ended up spraying texture before the final paint. Still way faster than the hole where I'm still waiting for spackled to dry.
  16. Hover over the username and then select message, or select the username and then message.
  17. You have no understanding of what was actually taken, and why it doesn't fucking matter.
  18. I did a hunk of cod with a lot of garlic and za'atar, my dinner group lost their minds. Everyone said it was at least as good as any fish they ever had.
  19. Are they totally vegan? I've never looked for meat products there. Just assumed my stuff was veggie based by choice.
  20. Ah, yeah, I did see that in the patent application they warn about sinusoidal deplenaration.
  21. I was reading this thread as I mixed up some newly arrived Chinese peptides to inject into my body, but I can't be bothered to change a tire. Priorities I suppose. It made me laugh.
  22. This bike seems to lose pressure faster than most, or maybe I'm thinking that because it's so sensitive to the loss. And it's cooling off slightly here so that may affect it too. We even had three days of winter (barely over 70). Anyway yesterday I rode at 33/34 and again felt it immediately. It's crazy. The bike is so super neutral, I suppose, that any change in carcass shape is super obvious.
  23. Speaking of which, are you running a patched Diablo 3 yet? I forget that living near a big city means $25 tire changes down the street. I don't have the time to fuck around with it, so the $25 is fine to me.
  24. It seems like it would take a long time to justify at $25/tire for mount & balance.
