I specifically mentioned gorillas as the species is classified as predominantly herbivore, with fruits making up a very small percentage of their diet.

Fair point, i hadn't realized.

That would be the case if the species was intaking food raw, which is not the case. Cooking of food facilitates the access to nutrients in it, both for vegetable and animal source.

Cooking seems to be orthogonal to the discussion of species classification. People are feeding cats synthetic plant based diets now, but we still classify cats as obligate carnivores based on their natural diet in their natural environment.

with gorillas being considered mostly herbivore, the same can be at least considered for ancestor species.

Modern apes are still frugivores, about 20% of their diet comes from fermenting leaves, but its not a significant percentage.

It a contentious point of view, but nothing has to die in order for me to subsist when eating eggs.

I see your moral stance, but in biology carnivore is a term of art describing the source of dietary inputs it has no moral component. Humans are mono-gastrics, but not a hind-gut fermenter, the bulk of our nutrition by our but biology is going to be meat or fruit, and we can't live on fruit alone.

Upside down and back to front; because when I print papers I staple them in the top left for reading

I wanted the stapled papers to be browsable in the binder, so I bound them on the other side, so I can grab by the sapler corner and turn the entire paper

It's a hypothesis paper framing the guidelines for future research.

Yes, poorly controlled t2d is at greater risk for NDDs as far as I'm aware.

I have not read this paper, but it has a graph that is illustrative

It’s a safe assumption to consider early ancestors, prior to becoming land dwellers, had the largest portion of their diet based from leaves.

That is quite the assumption, modern frugivore apes only eat leaves when fruit is scarce

I refuse the insistence with humans being obligate carnivores

Fair enough, i'm open to better terminology. Must eat some meat needs a term that isn't overloaded.

Eggs are not meat. Eggs are an animal product, granted, but it’s not from its consumption we derive the notion of being carnivore.

Eggs are not carnivorous food?

Am I reading this correctly — the hypothesis is that bipolar mania is downstream of how bipolar people metabolize sugars? Like when you give kids too much sugar and they’re hyperactive (allegedly)? That’s bananas!

kinda - after a long enough time of sugar overload the brain insulin ratio gets skewed and there is a brain energy crisis that may be the underlying etiology of various brain issues including bipolar (and maybe hyperactivity).

Our ancestors started as herbivores, being tree dwellers, and only later changed into the role of scavenger and after that predator, making the consumption of other animals a viable and reliable food source.

Frugivores, but yes... in the intervening couple million years we lost the ability to survive without meat, we adapted to our new food environment. Humans are clearly not frugivores anymore.

The species evolved into the role of the omnivore, capable of eating nearly anything to survive, and it proved to be a winning strategy.

My point is we still need some meat to survive, we are obligated... so we are baseline obligate carnivores, and then opportunistic on other food sources. We can't eat nearly anything, grass for instance - happily there are animals that can eat grass, which we can eat.

If the concern is the apport of B12, eggs are a source for it and it would be an easy enough one for early humans to get it.

Eating eggs would be carnivorous behavior, no?

someone wants to get scurvy

If you want to get scurvy, you have to avoid meat. Despite the myth - fresh meat has vitamin c in it, it has been a historic CURE for scurvy. In a glucose free diet there is less competition for the glut4 transporter, which will take up the vitamin c... plus meat provides essential material the body would use vitamin c to produce... in a animal based diet there is less demand for vitamin c overall.

There is no documented case of someone contracting scurvy on a animal based diet, just consider the inuit who survive in the arctic circle without access to fresh fruit.

Sure, here you go -

Stopping or reducing dietary fiber intake reduces constipation and its associated symptoms

Fibre provides short chain fatty acids to some parts of the colon, but that isn't the only way to do so (ketones). Fibre is a net positive in diets that are unhealthy because it acts as a anti-nutrient blocking the absorption of food but if the diet is mostly poison this is a net positive.

i'm open to a better way to express the need to eat some meat, but being opportunistic to plants. Omnivore implies its totally optional either or, which isn't right.

as a thought experiment when designing a whole food plant based diet (including the necessary supplements) - imported foods are required... i.e. its not possible to live on whole plant based foods (even with supplements) eating in one geographic area

We should figure out a way to donate such excess allowance to open source projects

while we are talking about improvements, i think users should only get a limited number of downvotes... people use them as disagree buttons rather then "bad for the community" buttons

"soon"

I'm also looking forward to private subscriber only communities, that'll enable real niche communities to develop independent of the Zeitgeist

You absolutely need a UPS, even if you have a laptop, power going in and out and being out of voltage is not great even for a laptop

Yep, pie feed has the option for subscriber only communities, where they won't federate votes from non-subscribers. That's a option

On my niche unpopular community, I've had a script do the automation to remove people who only interact negatively, and nowadays posts, even by other people, still get one or two positive upvotes. It's not completely negative. But that's a lot of work

You're 100% right, I think the Lemmy model of flat membership to all communities isn't good for actually building a community. Communities should be more self-selected, just because something is in all doesn't mean everybody has to emote negatively on it.

There are a number of users, who are very very negative, and they spend all day browsing and downvoting everything, some of them - the lucky few, even go in and start fights for fun, and if you ask them about it they say "well it was in my all feed."

I've quit coffee three times, it takes me about a week to get over the cravings each time. Cold turkey every time

Do your policy enforcement at the port level, connect the printer with a physical cable, that way even if the printer gets compromised and changes it's Mac your rules still apply.

Also setup your network alert system to notify you when a a new driver is available and the printer is behind so you can manually apply security updates.

1 is fine from the port level

2 is great, but more brittle

2.5 only allow incoming connections to the vlan on printer ports, and outgoing mdns

Depending on your threat model, you might need 3, if the printer is malicious, and printer drivers are also malicious, they can proxy information from the printer through a client device to the internet.
