Nah, that’s the funniest attempt at dissing someone that said something you don’t understand I’ve ever seen.
Calorimeters do a specific job. That job is not the same as digestion and metabolism. Not all foods “give up” calories in the same way, and no foods do so in the same way as inside a calorimeter.
Measured calories via calorimeter are indeed accurate with exactly what they measure, i.e. The exact food that is placed into them.
What a calorimeter can’t do is guarantee that everything put into it is the same.
The more complex the substance is, the more variation there will be between measurements of different batches of that substance. Something like refined sugar is going to give the same results reliably because there’s just not that much variation. Same with refined fats and proteins. Once you get simple enough, the results vary by so little as the be meaningless.
Put two bananas in the same machine, the variance will be greater than that of simpler materials. Is that variance enough to matter on a practical level? Not usually, but it can be.
But, that variance is still there, and the range of possibilities is enough to be significant when calculating what you might slap on a nutritional level of a given food.
Hence, the results aren’t accurate in the sense that they can be reproduced in a precise way. There’s just too much natural variance in foods, even carefully prepared foods.
Only one problem. By the time this occurred, every road everywhere was already full of pi. Poor sharon is just one digit in a long line that covers their world. Hallucinating being an independent numeral.
Every time I see millennials exposed to zoomer fashion they instantly start seething. it’s always some 20 year old celebrity who goes outside wearing baggy clothes with a graphic tee and millennials online start screeching shit like...
Gen z are the millennial’s kids. The older millennials are hitting their forties now. Not all gen z are the kids of millennials, some are gen-x kids too.
I’ve never seen any kind of outrage over comfortable clothes by millennials on any big scale. Or gen-x. Hell, not even all of the baby boomers do, unless it’s at work.
If you’re seeing it irl, then it’s likely just parents parenting, which is a different thing entirely. Online? You gotta at least grab some screen shots of handful of examples before this is even believable as a generation level thing. Better, provide links to it, since screen shots can be faked easily by anyone older than about 12.
If you are seeing it, is it on a specific media outlet? You’ll find that some are more prone to stupidity like bitching about other people’s clothing than other forms of media.
Tbh though, how the fuck can you even tell what generation the people complaining are? Do they give their age? Seems pretty damn weird unless it’s YouTube, but most of those are memes to begin with. “I’m 70 years old and I love/hate this” type of bullshit.
I think you’re full of malarkey tbh, but if you aren’t,I would actually be interested in seeing where this is because millennials have rocked comfy clothes in public for well over a decade. It would be very funny if that’s changing as they age.
Hi all! I’m a trans woman who’s known since I was a kid. My classmates brought up the topic of being trans once in class, and I remember mentioning my desire to “maybe become a woman when I grow up”, as I put it. I can’t remember the reaction clearly, but I must’ve been pretty put off since I didn’t attempt to talk...
From the outside, being cis, I can only report what worked for people that I know.
Two things seem to be consistent among the trans, and gay/queer people I’ve known that came out over the years.
The first is that it gets easier every time you do it, the second is that memory and imagination can help that along.
It doesn’t seem to matter whether someone comes out via writing, or in person, or over the phone/camera. Having done it before with safety and good results helps a person have something to focus their mind on to give them confidence that, no matter how it actually turns out, they’re loved, respected, and valued by the people in their lives.
It can help to have an “outing” buddy ready. Not necessarily to be right there with you, if that’s not appropriate, but someone that is present and ready with support and love, even if it goes perfectly. If you have even an ally available, rather than a friend or partner, it can be a big help to know there’s someone out in the car ready to whisk you away, or whatever you arrange for. Again, that is useful no matter how good things go. You have a way to ensure that you can take a break when needed. Coming out can be very emotionally taxing when it’s fully supported and loving in response. It can be overwhelming enough that you might want to go home and relax sooner rather than later.
The process of setting things up with a friend/ally/partner also helps you ready your heart and mind to show the true you with less fear. This actually works for a lot of things tbh, not just coming out. Practice what you want to say, if it’s going to be verbal. If you’re writing, it’s great to have more than one pair of eyes on it, if you aren’t sure about how to phrase things.
If you don’t have an ally locally, reach out online. There’s plenty of people under the rainbow that will try to help, even if it’s just being on the other end of a phone. There’s plenty of folks that will support you even though they aren’t in the same situation because they, we, want you to be safe and happy, and able to be yourself in every way. Everyone deserves that, and I can almost guarantee someone would be your phone buddy with a little planning. Shit, I would, if it came to that, assuming some scheduling discussion ahead of time.
And, hey, do it in your own time and way. There’s practical considerations, of course, but it’s okay to move toward it slowly, or quickly, as needed. When you’re ready, you’re ready.
Casual live performance from an old documentary. A few minor lyrical tweaks for those who know the song well, but a lovely performance from probably the iconic Texas troubadour.
Man, he’s one of the greatest songwriters of the era. Deeply underappreciated.
But I’ve never been able to get into him as a performer. He’s fine on guitar, but his singing just falls flat for me, live or studio. He’s not bad, his voice is pleasant enough, and he’s on key and all that, it just doesn’t “do” anything for me.
Which sucks, because the dude’s talent as a songwriter is insane. Like, “if you needed me”? C’mon, that alone would be enough for anyone to retire proud. I want to like him as performer, and I always give him another try when someone drops a link online, or plays it irl. It just hasn’t worked yet.
Well, I wouldn’t use up ingredients to make it just to try it, if you feel me. But if somebody sat it in front of me, I’d dig in and hope for the best lol. But I’m an adventurous eater. Wasn’t always that way, but sometime in my late twenties, I started trying things I hadn’t liked before, and it turned out my tastes had changed. So I kinda just stopped looking at new, or weird foods the same way.
There’s a handful of things that were so nasty in smell, taste, or texture that I wouldn’t try them again later down the road, though.
Now, there’s the adjacent, but not the same thing of band shirts or similar merchandise. The difference is that in theory, the band/artist is going to benefit from the purchase. It is still advertising that I’m paying for, but, because merchandise is often a big income stream for musicians in particular, I don’t object to being their billboard if I like them enough to get anything of theirs in the first place.
When it’s a clothing company? Hell no. If their label/logo is more than the size of a tag, I’m not doing it. I don’t mind the idea of a trademark/label/tag being present, that’s expected. It’s when the branding becomes the design that it’s a problem.
Gods, they are so damn strange, but it works. Knifey was the first track of theirs I ran into, and I was obsessed with it for a week until I could get it out of my head.
It’s all just balls out insanity with no filter beyond very basic song structure. In the best way, that isn’t a complaint.
With the rest of the findings, it’s totally within reasonable possibility. Tbh almost anything could have sent his body into a regal fatal behavior, looking at the combination of illnesses and meds on board.
Ketamine in therapeutic doses won’t often do it by itself. You can OD on enough of it, with death as a possibility. As you said, not common, and not at normal doses. But what would be a pleasant trip down the k hole for the average person isn’t a good idea for someone with pretty much any cardiovascular disease. Hell, some anaesthesiolgists won’t use it without a cardiac workup, though that’s also pretty rare from what I’ve been told.
He’d abused his body for decades. It sucks, I wish anybody struggling with addiction gets a chance to overcome it and live well. But as much as it sucks, it wouldn’t be surprising that his body just gave out under a therapeutic dose. At higher doses, it was inevitable
