  • Great comment. So that is true but also a common misconception about the older soups or stews. It is common in modernity to braise or fry meat before adding it to a stew but that is because the complex flavors obtained through all day or multi day simmering are more labor intensive and therefore do not fit into modern industrial processes.

  • That's a great comment. So we shouldn't fry foods which combine fat carbs and protein. Those are mostly the invention of modern industrial processes beginning in the 1800s. Most cultures had fairly healthy ways of cooking foods prior to the 1800s. And soups and stews are universal dishes native to all cultures going back into antiquity and probably the invention of pottery.

    I have a funny story. Ghengis khan, as he got older, began to think about improving his health. He sent for a man ( daoist) rumored to be an immortal. The man admitted he was not an immortal but he was very old. At least 70. The great khan said that he would like to live longer.

    The Daoist replied:

    "For starters you could eat less fried meat and boil it instead."

    The Khan's response seemed plagiarized from a patient in a doctor's office today and the world's greatest conqueror, a bloodied steppe warrior, probably made the pinched face of a baby rejecting vegetables.

    For some reason lightly burning food makes it incredibly delicious but it also releases dangerous compounds which oddly broadly increase cancer rates. I think even lung cancer risk increases. But we've known about it since antiquity and so few cultures ate them in large quantities until the modern era.

  • Are you using Celsius? Fahrenheit that's near a sous vide temperature range and totally safe.

    Regarding carcinogens, burning or browning anything is bad. But advanced glycation end products form when tou have the combination of carbs, fats, and protein plus dry heat.

  • Sorry to but into this convo but cooking at around 300 degrees f starts creating advanced glycation end products (age) which is a driver of inflammation. It's always better to make stews or soups rather than fry in oil or air bake fat, carbs, and protein together.

  • There are different studies which show a shockingly high percent of the population are fools but the most compelling is the one by Cambridge Analytica which found a population cluster in Facebook's massive amount of user data. They called this the average cluster.

    The Republicans targeted this group in the 2016 election. Around 30 percent of the b population fall into this group.

  • They're going to use the cia. Trump would use proxy forces to invade under the guise of assisting a rebellion. He can find an opposition political leader, declare him the leader (in this case, declare Greenland to be soverign from Denmark) and then absorb greenland.

  • The US already attacked Canada using one of its propaganda tools: Facebook. This is cyberwarfare.

    Facebook bombarded Canadian audience with right wing propaganda during the election.

    Some have tried to argue that it's actually facebook trying to get revenge for Canadian courts eliminating the cbc from social media feeds. Does that make any sense? They don't care if canada doesn't get news. They want that since they were curating those news feeds with stilted inflammatory content like many right wingers wanted in the first place.

  • Involuntary commitment decisions have to be made by a someone with medical or psychological training. In the past people were disappeared (there's a movie about it called "The Changeling").

    But I think we need to make addiction one of the mental conditions that should lead to temporary mandatory rehab. I don't think addiction is something people choose to be afflicted with and if there's a chance they could be successfully treated it might be something they will look back on with some posititivity.

  • Ever try to water down a fountain drink with carbonated water? You can add 300% soda water and it still tastes sweet. But that overwhelming level of sweetness seems to stimulate appetite. And it's one of many reasons why manufacturers use high fructose instead of table sugar. It's slightly sweeter and more stimulating.

  • There are small language models out there that can run fluently on smartphones. I'm fond of StableCode as a coding tutor. My dream is to be able to speak to the tutor and see its code instructions without having to dig my phone out.

  • They get their power from conservative news coverage. If a US senator got locked up in El Salvador and Fox didn't cover it, who is to say he was missing at all? Even if they did cover it they'd point that he was trying to bring back an alleged criminal. And without any oversight of Fox News they'd get away with it. Shameless.
