Carbohydrates are converted to glucose in the liver. Someone who needs to maintain very strict glycemic control needs to be careful with grains and fruit.

It's not a troll. I genuinely don't care what other people eat. I'm going to talk about it, and I want a place to talk about it.

The study you link to, is comically, linking all of the metabolic syndromes to the consumption of meat.

Let's consider diabetes, type 2 diabetes is defined as the inability for the body to regulate blood glucose. Blood glucose is introduced from the consumption of sugar, or carbohydrates, or fructose.

A type 2 diabetic can bring their blood sugar down, just by not eating glucose, or sugar, or fructose, or carbohydrates.

Fat, and protein, which is what most animal food is, does not introduce glucose into the blood.

You'll eventually run into vitamin deficiencies if you don't eat anything else.

What is deficient?

Everything is in a context, I'm just going to discuss one in your first link (which isn't research, just a blog) - Scurvy. The intuit eating their traditional diet did not get scurvy, famously... funnily enough - meat has vitamin C in it (among other things) https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/22063662/

Oh, I now realize the first site also lists Vitamin A as a carnivore deficiency, but also says Liver is the best source of Vitamin A..... That is .... some gymnastics there. Let me say, you can't eat healthily by just eating muscle. You have to eat the whole animal - tip to tail. Liver too! Liver is the best thing you ever eat. The fat is necessary, the organs are necessary. That is why ground meat is probably the best food you can get at a grocery store (just behind liver)

The second paper - Food questionnaire applied to a high carbohydrate population (healthy user bias/observational study)

Third paper - They even use 'MAY' in the title, which also means MAY NOT.

The fourth - is a article by a lay person.

This is the poor quality science issue I was referring to in the previous post.

If your going to have a blanket statement like this isn't sustainable - you have to address real counter examples - the intuit lived without plants, and without cancer on a all carnivore diet.

Yeah, I'm subscribed. I like the summaries! It's a good idea.

I'm not sure if its possible, but can you torture your model to try to generate a one sentence summary as well, kinda like - make a factual headline for this article that is short and succinct!

https://www.economist.com/rss - They do enjoy their paywalls, might need to link to one of the ladders as well, like archive.is

They could be tracking you by your phone number. Yes just the phone number, not an app on the phone.

If you need to keep your current number, Port it to twilio, filter out all VoIP numbers, and then forward the call to your new phone number, or text message. And don't text anybody back unless you know them.

The phone number on your phone is like a social security number, with it people can find out basically everything about you. If they want to spend enough money. So don't give it to anybody

Check your vehicle, your purse, for tracking devices.

If you don't need to keep your current phone number, get a new phone number, don't give it to anybody. Set up Google voice, and use the Google voice number for people to contact you. We mostly use apps nowadays anyway, so anything on Google voice is just going to be new contacts or maybe a doctor's office. But if that number leaks somehow, it can't be used to track your location.

Maybe there are hairs to split about blame.

But the review tells you if a game is worth buying, and if it doesn't work - it's not worth buying. Doesn't matter who is responsible. The negative reviews are valid.

If only a multibillion dollar gaming company with 20,000 employees could afford to signing to the MSDN and evaluate prereleases.

Context matters:

Taking a group photo? Stock photo models? PR? Greeter? - yes, asking someone to smile for a goal is fine

Someone just minding their own business - no, asking them to smile is selfish and just for your personal satisfaction. People don't need to justify to you why they don't feel like smiling. It's rude to demand it of others

Okay. I really laughed out loud on that one

You are 100% responsible for where your vehicle is moving, that includes any blindspots. If you have a blindspot you MUST check it before moving into the space. So turn your head!

Sit in your car, physically, in real life. Have a friend take a bunch of traffic cones, or trash cans. Look forward, don't move your head, using your mirrors only. Have your friend walk around your vehicle, putting down a cone when you can't see them, and another cone when you can start to see them again.... If there was any point where you couldn't see your friend, that is a blind spot which you MUST check.

The correct way to vote against bad moderators and community rules is to RUN YOUR OWN COMMUNITY. Make it a better place, moderate it better.

So bad moderators are ALLOWED to persist because nobody has stepped up and made a better place yet.

And if the response to that is 'woah, woah, I don't want to do all that work' then... clearly the moderation isn't that bad

Lost in Space 2018 Series (en.wikipedia.org)
submitted 5 months ago by jet@hackertalks.com to c/moviesandtv@lemm.ee

Just started the 2018 Lost in space series, which has 3 seasons, and 28 episodes.

The original 1965 series also had 3 seasons, but 83 total episodes.

The cinematics are really good so far two episodes in

If you find yourself having to block a user, there should be an option to block all the communities they can moderate as well.

Not a big issue, just a quality of life item

I watched the first season of Colony, and I really enjoyed it. The premise is good, they don't rely on mystery boxes, motivations feel fleshed out. 10 Episode season, i recommend it.

The premise is Aliens have colonized and oppressed earth we only learn enough about them at any time to motivate the actions of our human collaborators.

Setting up a Synology server, I made the mistake of just buying a UPS that had a USB plug on the back thinking oh this is a solved problem, it must just work. No no far from it.

So the UPS I mistakenly purchased is not compatible with Synology. SRV1KI-E wants to run this weird program called PowerChute.

Anyone have success marrying this into the Synology ecosystem?

It also has a RS 232 serial port, I wonder if there's an off-the-shelf device that would speak serial but output power state via the network or USB.

Had a small discussion with a good beehaw community member in one community, it got contentious but otherwise civil, and they have now taken to taking that discussion out in response to comments I've made in other posts and communities.

I would consider this a form of harassment, following me around Lemmy and having a argument seems to hurt the overall discussion in other posts and communities with anger and abuse.

How do I get help in this matter?

New Vegas Reloaded is officially available for download via Discord.

There are many other versions floating around the interwebs but it's HIGHLY recommended you use the latest nightly build, downloaded from the TES Reloaded Discord. 

I'll point out, this site is hosted on GitHub, which distributes builds, and has build infrastructure....

Why are builds going through discord???!?! Insane

DeepStar Six 1989 (www.youtube.com)

DeepStar Six - 1989

Trailer https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pouTM3jqZCM

SSN Bad Communicators

Nice slice of life film showing US Navy seabees building a undersea missile platform... from the very start the movie shows us really poor abilities to communicate. Throughout the whole film I feel like i was watching a indictment of macho culture, get it done at all cost bravado. The movie had lots to say about culture!

The alien was pretty interesting, nothing too over the top, cave creature

Why did the captian flood the research station? (to make sure they left him behind? or to end the pain quicker?)

Snyder - The utimate jobsworth, detonates 6 nuclear weapons because he can't communicate... This was... wow, I'm not even sure where to start here. Cabin crew resource management failure? No lone zone on nuclear weapons? No critical thinking skills? I know were supposed to hate Snyder as a person, but I think the real problem they are talking about is lack of decision making skills everyone here displays.

The biggest enemy in this film is the crew itself!

Overall I enjoyed it, worth a watch

A classic underwater adventure, monsters and secret Soviet conspiracies oh my!

Nothing like I remember from watching it as a child. The pacing is difficult to adjust to.

Solid acting overall!

One lingering question: if the new genetic life form could survive in the ocean, that means the spread has only just begun, yes? There should be a follow-up film

45 minutes: An excellent presentation by Ben bickman. He goes over different life cycles of fat, different biological fat growth scenarios. He discusses how fat cells grow and shrink in different hormonal environments.

Not only is the data fascinating, he's an excellent presenter, being engaging and funny throughout

Near the end of the presentation he covers a N of one case study, where somebody gained weight, under different hormonal regimes. Really fascinating data

On stock aosp, and pixel android, I can auto rotate the phone up, left, or right, but if I turn the phone upside down the screen won't rotate.

Is there a way to enable upside down rotation? I think it would be quite useful.

I.e. When phone is charging, or hanging phone up by a strap, or when using a usb-c device and you want to prop it up on a desk
