Concrete, significant changes in your lifestyle can result in that kind of dramatic weight loss, even without the fancy daily one-on-one coaching. I remember reading a similar story about a morbidly obese man, whose doctor managed to get him to lose 100 lbs in a year or something like that, I forget the exact details.

I was searching for an ‘f’ on Splinter too, as a lark, and sure enough couldn’t find one there either.

Yep. If someone incompetently careens a bus into a ravine killing a bunch of passengers, we don’t shrug and accept he was a dumbass who couldn’t do better, we hold him responsible for not fulfilling his duties to a minimum standard.

Yeah, no, sorry, I understand, we’d love to have you, thank you for your interest, but we’re full right now, we’re not taking anyone else aboard. Maybe next year we’ll have some attrition, we’ll need some new faces, but not right now.

For anyone who lived through the handover of Hong Kong the colony from Great Britain to mainland China in 1997, it’s almost impossible to be ignorant of those issues. Anyone who became aware of the world around them, who started ‘following the news’ after that, it would be easy to not know anything about the history…
