You’re being silly. People don’t buy crossovers because of marketing, but because generally people find them more pleasant to be in. It is definitely more pleasant to slide into an X3 than a Z3 and definitely more pleasant in traffic. It’s nice to have more headroom. You definitely lose out in some performance…

9/11 is far in excess of what would be an act of war, it would be a war crime if committed by a state actor. You really shouldn’t write these stupid thoughts of yours down.

What part of “Andrade is part Native Hawaiian” do you not understand?

The article describes how the family used the land they owned (they enjoyed nature). They don’t have to a build a house there to enjoy it. Now Zuckerberg will deny them, and everyone else, the right to use it or even to see it. How is being permanently barred access to land you used to own not being ‘kicked off.” ?…

These aren’t some guys, they are indigenous people and the land was given to them to preserve their heritage. The US government definitely has kicked off, or made to be kicked off, indigenous people from their land because someone wanted to exploit it (oil gas and minerals) and the indigenous people didn’t want to…

How do you not know how to spell “Judgment Day” ?

Neuter for all cats is a better idea. Stops the problem from getting worse, population wise, but doesn’t give a windfall to rats and rabbits. Gradually the feral cat population will decrease and we can consider the options and outcomes. But there is no magic wand solution that focuses on cats that guarantees an…

Those guys have overstayed their welcome, but they actually accomplished things like beat the nazis and polio. The most concrete victories we attribute to the “youngs” belong to measles virus, Russian election tampering (impossible before facebook), and Nazis 2.0 (a literal punchline before social media). Being…

It’s funny but when I really want to be productive in the morning, I don’t eat until after I finish what I have to do.   And then when I do eat, I’m definitely sluggish for a few hours.  Definitely have more energy when I space out time between meals.

Look you said it is “calories in, calories out” and it isn’t. This study shows some of the ways it isn’t, such as changing insulin sensitivity even when eating the same number of calories.

Hope you lose that weight

No, it’s not irrelevant. You said “it’s just another method to reduce calories.” It is not, it is not being studied as such. You are a patronizing asshole, sure, but also you are also fucking moron if you read an article that says in big bold letters “It Can Be Unhealthy” and then tell me that an article that…

No, it is not a solely method to reduce calories. Not sure why you can’t read for yourself, but since you won’t, Cell Metbolism Volume 27, Issue 6, 5 June 2018, Pages 1212-1221.e3 . This study doesn’t even attempt to reduce calories, explicitly does not, and shows that reducing calories is not relevant to the benefits…

Who cares what method you used. You didn’t read the research on this. It says the opposite of “calories in, calories out”. It describes effects totally unrelated to caloric load. You can still read it now if you like or you can keep talking about how your anecdotal experience and reading about diet is the same thing…

Wrong — it has measured metabolic effects beyond losing weight. It’s just that you guys don’t like reading research. The science is clear, it’s not the same thing as eating smaller meals, sorry. No miracles, but it has metabolic advantages to what you suggest based on what worked for your aunt.

What a bullshit article, you can’t even read. Study says fasting no more effective than regular dieting, you say “ “Other Forms Of Calorie Restriction Are More Effective” which is NOT what the quote says. And then all you do is link to Vox. What a load of crap.

The correct question is not whether it ethical to pay McFarland or not, but whether questioning him is more probative than paying him is unethtical. It obviously is worth more than $1 to have him appear and get skewered. He’s obviously lying as to how much they paid him, so you have just fallen for that one. I’m sure…

The “whataboutism” is saying that Japan, after abusing the oceans for decades and ignoring multilateral ocean agreements, may finally start to observe some agreements while ignoring the fact they are actually withdrawing from other multilateral ocean agreements entirely.

You note the U.S. isn’t protecting tuna but fail to mention that Japan’s commitment to ocean multilateralism to protect threatened species is nonexistant — they pulled out of the International Whaling Commission and decided that, despite the international ban, they can whale all they want. This is without any real…

This review rassumes VW’s reliability and Mazda’s are similar, which means you deny reality completely. The VW has terrible reliability and the Miata is stellar. So do you want a FWD econobox that breaks down all the time, like guaranteed to have problems,  or a roadster that’s one of the best driver’s cars you can…
