Do you count the time you sleep as part of the fast?
TheBeardKing · 3 years ago
Yes, fasting is just not eating.

Two years ago I stopped eating sugar and flour. I also started eating on a schedule. Breakfast when I wake up between 6am and 730am, lunch around 1pm, dinner around 7pm. No I’m between snacks except some coffee, water, and chewing gum.

The results are that I’m in the best shape and health of my life.

A 12 hour fast is about my minimum, but I try to make it longer if I can. Seems to just depend on what I had for dinner the night before and bowel movements. I've tried eliminating snacking between meals, but settled on a beer and pistachio happy hour right after work.

>Blender would sometimes respond with offensive language, and at other times it would make up facts altogether.

Just filter for offensive words/subjects? Can't be difficult to overcome.

That's only the first section of the article.

Edit: Can someone paste the whole article? As a parent of 9 and 7 year old girls, I'd like to know what platforms to be weary of. There's no way we'll be letting them have public social media accounts for a very long time.

And how much longer before they use facial recognition to identify the fugitive then execute the arrest?

I think the wide angle camera is pretty important if you're into taking pics
TheBeardKing · 6 years ago
I love the wide angle camera on my LG G5. And it's only three years young.

>That states like China and Russia can recruit the best cybersecurity talent in their respective countries, and force them to work for the government, while the United States can't, is a problem.

Huh? Why the united states couldn't? It's government/military budget is much higher...

As for the "force them", China and Russia don't need to force anyone to work for their cybersecurity teams either (nor it would be wise to have someone do such crucial tasks against their will).

Paying goes a long way...

Congress sets salaries and benefits for government positions, but most of those jobs are under the executive branch. So the president can't just increase the head of cybersecurity's salary to $1M, that has to be approved by Congress. The DoD and intelligence agencies get around these restrictions by contracting out the technical work, but the problem is the top decision makers still don't make nearly enough to attract real experts in the field.

In the government agency I'm employed with, the cyber security manager for our products has only a logistics management background. The information assurance personnel are contractors, but they don't have much impact on the real decision making.

Can you point me to some sources that say plant=based meat is less healthy than animal based meat?
TheBeardKing · 6 years ago
Nutritionists vary on the following aspects, as the research isn't definitive, so I'm not going to give an opinion, just list the facts: the new meat alternatives have less protein, more sodium, more carbs, and more saturated fat. Take that as you will.

> soups without meat are nearly a no-go for me

This way you are missing maybe 90% of the soups of the world. Maybe try some exotic spices - I used to hate tomato soup from our school canteen with passion, but once I tried a properly spiced variant in Nepali Himalayas, things were never the same again (for the better) and I love it these days (I mean the Nepali version)

TheBeardKing · 6 years ago
In context, I meant the lazy soups we make always contain meat and still taste good. I can put like 4-5 ingredients in an instant pot and be done. Are there similar low effort meatless soups, without hunting down exotic spices? I love good Thai and Indian curries and such, always open to new flavors at restaurants, but at home I'm just not willing to go through that kind of effort, as I kind of despise cooking but am too cheap to eat out often.

Absolutely! I think you hit the nail on the head. I went to an Israeli restaurant the other day, and (I'm guessing?) all the meat was kosher (read: expensive). Their menu prices seemed to be exactly how they should be. Vegetarian options were in the ~$7 range, and meat dishes were in the $35 range. This kind of pricing still makes meat dishes accessible to anyone that wants them, but gently nudges behavior in a more sustainable direction.

I hate when I go to Qdoba and the same bowl with Impossible meat is $9.99, while beef or chicken is $7.99. So now I have to pay more and eat less healthy?
