It's the tenant that has no hot water though. The more information they give the landlord, the faster they will get hot water again.

If it really bothers you, every time you realise you did this, delete the previous word before the F and retype it, maybe even a few times, while paying attention to every movement. Slowing down helps too.

The normies support big tech, they love it. They probably work for big tech, or wish they did, or at least imagine themselves as the next Elon Musk.

Because none of these articles explain to the reader what exactly they should do to minimise this problem and how much exactly they stand to gain and lose from doing it. People are only interested in obtaining useful (aka actionable) information.

The religious person made a pretty black and white comment. Maybe there is a lot of nuance in the context, but this comment has no nuance itself. It's going from whatever context to making a general comment on the lack of religion and what it does to morality.

Very very little fat can be converted to sugar actually. It's usually protein that gets converted.

As a materialist, I have never understood the concept or why it is worth discussing unless you are religious and believe in souls or something. Our brains are biological organs, running according to the same physical and chemical principles as everything else. What else is there to discuss?

This is exactly the famous rat park experiment. Yes, the rats consumed vastly less cocaine when they were in a fun rat park compared to a box, where they became totally obsessed cocaine fiends.

You're a dick. You can say that about anything. You don't own a house yet? That's because of a string of poor decisions. You don't respect yourself, otherwise you would have saved enough money. And then you'll go, oh, but I am the one who has real problems, unlike those other fat people. Everyone who was more successful than you was lucky, everyone who was less successful was lazy. This is precisely what millionaires tell themselves to justify paying minimum wage. Those employees who accept working for this meager salary? No self respect, they deserve it.

You? You are just a self-absorbed dick who can only see things from their own perspective and have no idea about other people's problems.

Written by someone who lost 70lb 15 years ago and didn't gain it back. Did I suddenly acquire self-respect and discipline? Nope, just found a sustainable lifestyle that worked for me. Shocking, I know.

Already do many of those. World is still heating up. Somehow I don't think I can cool it with my recycling bin, the petitions that I signed and the votes that I cast. That's the problem.

Speak for yourself. I have long curly hair and if it's all irregular, no one can tell. Every time I wash my hair it curls differently anyway.

It is protein poisoning. Having fat available just means you can consume less protein in order to not starve.

I disagree because you can save so much money. But my limit is one short stop, unless I am flying to the other side of the world and need a few days' break.

Maybe? It could be my Kindle? I don't know? I don't know why people end statements with question marks? For example, in this comment, none of these sentences is a question? So they shouldn't end in a question mark? But people often write like this? It's quite strange to me? Have a nice day?

Only very very little fat (the glycerol part) can be converted to glucose actually. The main source for gluconeogenesis is protein. And our bodies hate converting protein to glucose. You can guess why! This is why endurance athletes are constantly sipping on a sugary drink as they compete

They don't compete or do hard workouts without consuming carbohydrates though. The anaerobic metabolism doesn't run on fat no matter how much you train, and it brings a lot of extra energy. You simply can't go as hard as you can without carbohydrate.

Ruminants might be able to convert more fat to glucose, I don't know about that, but humans can't. Would be wonderful if we could, considering we can store almost infinite fat but only a meager amount of carbohydrate.

Wikipedia explains it well: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gluconeogenesis

I forgot to mention odd-chain fatty acids besides glycerol, but they also just give you half of a glucose molecule.
