Well. Just to add another facet to this, being athletically fit seems to give others permission to touch you. At one point in my life i had aspirations to compete at an Olympic level (in fencing - Foil and Epee) and had under 8% body fat. When I was in crowded social functions my butt was often felt...

The “S” stood for “Spaceship”

It was a mistake. Truman was actually seen wearing a kokoshnik headdress. Although reminiscent of a space suit helmet, he was clearly only Ukrainian.

So sorry to hear this. But, I thank you for sharing as a reminder of how fragile they are and how scary it can get is always a good thing. I lost my Sun Conure, Kiva, in a similar incident (involving a dog) and it was brutal. I have two 18 year old fids, and African Grey and a Panama Amazon. They bo...

The only argument that I could consider for the newly signed law is that it doesnt inflict new qualifications to be president. It does not require that one has paid one's taxes or of any amount of income or any characteristic of the candidatd. He has to be neither taller or shorter, wealthier or poo...

Losing your circadian rhythm while fasting would be more likely depending on many factors including the amount of light hitting your retina during a small window in the morning. I would bet, that when you lose the circadian and are dysfunctional, that your time precesses, that is, the non-circadian ...

Re: Why isn't the keto diet recommended more? I'm not a nutritionist and don't know for sure what the emphasis is in today's curriculum, but, I took my courses and I read current research. These are my contemplative thoughts, and, while I have seen some supported in the literature, it wasn't my focu...

Cool ramble, Danraft. I know just enough about genetics and biology to follow what you're saying (without ever dreaming of adding anything substantive to the discussion). Though I did find myself telling my ENT doc on Wednesday, as we discussed IF and low carb and he expressed his concern that if h...

So I guess you know what you are talking about. I do as well, having my experiences with binge eating for nearly 60 years now. Maybe pOrtia will start a thread as proposed by herself. Ps: This post is an answer to Roadscholar and not Foggy I'm waffling, I admit. I'm just not sure I want to take it ...

Re Diet, BMI, and metabolic disease. Yes, it sure is a complicated topic. I've been doing a review of scientific literature on chronic illnesses, and there are sufficient connections to this topic that I can appreciate the various narratives here. Much of this area is under constant revision , so I'...

Just thought I'd drop this here. Pfizer has been sitting on an Alzheimer's treatment because...reasons. https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/economy/pfizer-had-clues-its-blockbuster-drug-could-prevent-alzheimers-why-didnt-it-tell-the-world/2019/06/04/9092e08a-7a61-11e9-8bb7-0fc796cf2ec0_story.htm...

I suppose there are a few threads I could place this. Probably no forum website has as much general awareness and specific depth of knowledge to contextualize the varied observations. In general, the attacks on Western Civilization (meaning elected democracies with free speech and protected human ri...

I skimmed through this quickly, so if its been said, I think it still bears repeating. Its about the process, not the outcome. How was the Clinton impeachment? It wasn't a victory at the end. Its about WHAT HASN'T HAPPENED. Because the GOP controlled House and Senate there were not open hearings. Un...

It wasn't just a graphic on a misleading tweet from Trump. It was a screen shot of a FOX graphic, and ,Lou Dobbs talked about it, digressed for a minute, then went back to it, with a guest talking about how "correct" that was... And that was a perfect screen grab. So, a fake graphic Lou Dobbs endors...

Does this mean Assange can be subpoenaed in the 2016 election related investigation?

And... Yes. This may deserve its own thread.
Trump's tweets are hitting a new level of "inciting" , admitting obstruction, and sheer insanity. The pedantic discussion of case law is worthy of discussion...somewhere.

I think the "Handmaid Tale" analogy is bogus. Disney characters were created by Disney for Disney's use as the essence of their image. The movie adaptation is just that. But, the Music created for that movie was a unique creation . The Music, original song, written and performed by, has a tradition ...

I'll put in a counter-point--- and not just to take the Devil's Advocate opinion for discussion purposes. There are several reasons to retain the system (and yet fix the problem) and really only one to ditch the electoral system. The one reason to change it is "sour grapes" that the Democratic candi...

I guess "Bernie 2020" will have a thread... I never felt the burn. So, this was a recent FB post. Ok. More of a rant. ******** ********* I support progressive policies. Ones that can work. What does that mean? Not to be half baked. The worst thing about 45 is what he is costing us --a future of bein...

Yes, we are essentially at the point of inferred genetic data using Slartibartfast tools.
But it isn't a database commonly accessible and will certainly get more accurate with time.

I'm in the process of learning the basics of causality and data analysis and am impressed by its utility.

It's so obvious what happened... cough cough The government was shut down, so Stone relaxes as he isn't likely to be arrested. Like any good Prepper, he has his "bug-out bag" ready by the door. Or, as the Trump Crime family calls it, " Ankle Bracelet Club" bag. Since Friday would seem to safe since ...

Does anybody remember his tenure in NYC?????? Looking for sarcasm quotes. Because without them, as an honest question , I remember nothing of it. That being said, I'm not even sure if I was living in the states. And, as my Drivers Education teacher said, "If no one remembers any details of your dri...

I listened to as much mental mush as I could stand on the "sound canon" /ELF military tech...
Which slid into mind control tech???

Then, I realized it ALL made sense when the connection is made that it is based on ancient Aztec satellite technology.

Well...As much as American Interventionism in the Americas has been one debacle after another, I'm not sure this is a bad thing. But, there is more going on here than being discussed with the Russian influence and military planes and submarines and armaments going to Venezuela , even when they were ...
