I looked at of the cited sources that showed “strong evidence”. One had a conflict of interest with the author and the other stated “Our findings suggest that the beneficial changes of LC diets must be weighed against the possible detrimental effects of increased LDL-cholesterol.” 😂

There are safer diets out there for weight loss AND overall health!

Ate paleo for a few months a couple of years ago. Got to under 10% body fat, decent muscle growth (was working out

Those results were probably in spite of the diet, if you were only on it for a few months.

Unless you started at 30% fat and unable to do a single push up, I think you were probably already in decent shape before the diet experiment.

The list seems to only be for dangerous, marketable diets. LOL

Registered Dieticians are well educated (as of now, requires a Masters of Nutrition degree), and have to take continual education and bi-yearly license renewal tests, to stay relevant and up-to-date.

Nutritionists can literally be anybody who wants to call themselves a Nutritionist. No education/training/credentials necessary.

This is so true. I would also add that you tend to find more “Nutritionists” on social media pushing bad info. They are basically the chiropractors of the nutrition world.

Sarcasm aside, the science shows that Keto simply isn’t good for fat weight loss and that most weight lost isn’t fat, especially at the beginning.

Yes, you still do lose some fat, but not as much as an actual healthy diet would with some form of calorie restriction.

In the link I posted, there’s a study showing that Keto actually slows down fat loss because it messes with the body so much.

No reason to go on an extreme diet when there are safe, healthy, and far more effective strategies to consider.

While “true” at face value, it’s important to note what kind of weight loss people are experiencing.

Many of those diets cause water and muscle loss, so while you’re losing “weight”, it’s the wrong kind of weight to lose! LOL

Keto causes greater water loss vs calorie counting on a healthy diet, so it’s not surprising you lost more “weight” per day. It’s a terrible way to lose weight, though.

This video explains it (all sources to studies are listed, too).

Things will can stick and you have to be prepared to deal with that.

Again, if you don’t use it properly (i.e. getting the right temperature) then food can stick. The same rings true for even non-stick cookware and cast iron.

A simple search on YouTube for “prevent food from sticking to stainless steel pans” will give you loads of examples of how to use them correctly.

If your intention is to deglaze, then you’ll purposely avoid those techniques. This makes SS quite versatile, in my opinion.

Oh, wow. I can’t even see that sources are listed when using Voyager because if you swipe up to see it past the voting overlay, it closes the image.

Glad they corrected it 🤗

MSG = headaches is actually true for many people.

"Effect of systemic monosodium glutamate (MSG) on headache and pericranial muscle sensitivity :

“We conducted a double-blinded, placebo-controlled, crossover study to investigate the occurrence of adverse effects such as headache… there was a significant increase in reports of headache…” SOURCE

In addition, if you add oil to your cooked and drained pasta, it absolutely stops it from sticking vs. not adding oil. Just don’t add it to the water, as it’s just wasteful.

A pandemonium of parrots. 😂

Sadly, a lot of people think that stimulants helps with feeling tired. They rely on coffee, for example.

Source says Harvard Health.

Ontario, Canada (Near Toronto).

Our previous insurance was by far the least expensive, so I know it could have been worse. But over the pandemic, where we didn’t drive much, it pissed me off to have to pay insurance and not even need it.

Then, when I started cycling more two years ago, I just stopped using the car for pretty much every trip that’s less than 30 km way.

Between my wife and I, we used to pay a minimum of $150 and $200 per month for a single car. That was what we paid, even if we didn’t move it from the driveway.

With pay-as-you-go, we paid around $250 for last year, and it’ll be less this year.

I have a pay-as-you-go insurance in Canada, and they explicitly say that they “… will not use the data to cancel or refuse an automobile insurance policy; to apply surcharges to your current or future automobile policy or for marketing purposes.”.

Apparently, they only use it to confirm the mileage. It does capture your GPS tracking, and will alert you of any issues, like a low car battery (which I’ve had a few times because I drive so little!).

Honestly, in this case, I don’t care. I drive too infrequently, and this saves our family thousands a year, so it’s a net benefit for me, and I choose to opt-in.

If you’re on the sidewalk in public, you have no expectation of privacy.

Under normal context, that’s correct.

But if you are purposely being filmed as part of a movie, project, “prank” or anything else that makes you the “talent”, it moves into a commercial licensing/permit/consent realm.

I’ve been to loads of public events where I’ve had to sign a release form acknowledging that my photo may be captured and that those images may be used in marketing/social media posts, etc. That’s because being at the event makes me the subject. While this wouldn’t be a concern if other people in the group are taking photos/video for their own personal use, the fact that those images may be used for commercial purposes changes the context.

If social media asshats want to use someone’s photos or video for their own commercial purposes, they should be following the same rules as any other professional.

For clarity, we aren’t talking about randos being filmed while on a walking tour of a city; we’re talking about specific people being targeted and recorded as the main subject without consent and with the explicit purpose to use their video for commercial content.

Nearly every country has laws protecting people from having their images used for commercial purposes without consent.

Generally speaking, it is “OK” if you happen to capture people on video while you are recording a public space.

However, the article is referring to situations where people are being video recorded, without their knowledge, as the main focus of the video.

In this case, it should be treated like any TV or movie set, where consent must be given.

I see it as video recording for commercial use, so permits should also be required by these social media degenerates, before a single frame is captured.

LOL. Yeah, sometimes, answers can be very much “I’m winging it today”, but certain prompts, especially for story ideas, can be very interesting and usable.

I’ve always said that if you know a lot about a subject, you can easily spot how AI generally tries to fake it until it makes it.

But if you have no idea about something, the answers you get are certainly better than what your buddy might tell you 😂

But to my point, it comes up with long form content so fast that you wonder how the hell it actually processed the question that quickly.

It still amazes me just how quickly these models can spit out complex answers pretty much instantly.
