New phobia unlocked. Thanks, Tesla!

Remember that a portion of the sale of every loaf of bread goes to make the stock-holder douchebags richer.

Can we stop calling them "License Plate Readers"? Basically they are cameras with A.I., and they slurp up everything visual they can see.

We, in America and more broadly the West, have for the past half century resisted defining national cultures in the name of inclusivity. But inclusion into what?

How to tell if your "manifesto" is not well thought out is if it has open-ended questions.

Everyone else sees the problem with you answering the above question. If you answer it with the answer in your heart douchebag Alexander and Nicholas - it makes you sound like a racist. Just come out and say the racist part. We know you wanna.

Ah, the secret Canadian operative we never suspected!

Upon further research, he seems hard-core apolitical.

I must have assumed he was like his character that he played on Boston Legal - who was clownishly right-wing.

Sorry about that improper assumption, and thanks for calling me out on it!

Or - here's a radical idea -

EAT A SECOND FUCKING WAFFLE

From what I've heard, Shatner is normally pretty right-wing about issues. Maybe fiscally, but not socially. Maybe I'm misremembering, or conflating his character on Boston Legal.

I guess it shows people can be complex.

"Firefox spends big money on features nobody wants".

This didn't work for me, either. I'm in my 50's, and keep moving leftward.

I think what happens is:

1. As people age, they tend to get richer.
2. As people get richer, they tend to lose empathy.
3. As people lose empathy, they tend to become more conservative.

How would they expect to collect this "money" thing? Across international borders and stuff?

Well - I don't think this is healthy or possible in 2 months.

Last year, I weighed in at 242 with high blood pressure and decided to get serious about weight loss. I started tracking my input and output to my system. I have a watch that measures approximately how much I work off. I use apps to track how much I'm taking in. The one factor that is missing is your BMR, your basal metabolic rate. This is how many calories you burn just by being alive. There are special scales or devices that can measure this for you. You will need this to figure out the math.

Food calories eaten - BMR - Exercise calories spent = Calorie deficit or excess

So, if you exercise more, or eat fewer calories, you'll lose weight.

So, a pound of fat is 3500 calories, so if you have a deficit of about 500 calories a day, that's about a pound of fat per week. If you have a deficit of 1000 calories a day - that's a lot! - then you might lose 2 pounds a week.

Using this formula, I managed to lose about 45+ pounds in 6 months. I worked up to a walk+jog and managed to cover about 3+ miles per day. Unfortunately, with the cold weather of winter, I've not been able to exercise much, so my weight loss stopped in December.

But what you're talking about is losing 5+ pounds per week. That would require a 2500 calorie deficit! That would be a super-heavy workout every day. And then eating very sensibly. Even so, there is danger that some of your weight loss would be muscle and bone loss in addition to fat.

tl;dr - Don't do this. Also, talk to a doctor.
