It isn't motivated politically. It just seems to be true and declaring them toxic seems like an error.

Anyway, give me a better explanation why people don't look like they did only a few decades ago.

The reason why I think so is that the versions of proteins with heavy metals seem to be superior to those with the supposedly "correct" metal, as well as the heavy metal being extremely strongly preferred by the metabolism.

In the case of lead, it seems to be necessary for glucose transport, and seems to have effects similar to Rapamycin. It seems that Rapamycin basically only works by compensating for lead deficiency to some degree.

There realy wasn't. Engines switched to fuel injection, which made the octane number less critical, and catalytic converters were mandated that made lead destructive to the car itself.

The error with lead was the opposite one. It was a moral panic that's lead to the current health crisis, both mental and physical. People need heavy metals, they are essential.

The inability to burn calories because of nutrient deficiencies is the biggest flaw of CICO. You just won't burn more than your metabolism is capable of burning no matter how hard you try. You can't will yourself to use energy that isn't available. Keto has nothing to do with insulin, it's just a backup mechanism that fails last.

Lead deficiency makes animals both sedentary and depressed. Somebody fucked up big time.

>For regular users, having software look great can be quite important.

I don't think that many people care.

Smartphone cameras are nowhere near analog photos, there is just no way to make a good camera so small.

When you have a revolving door of employees, the job sucks in some way and people leave for places that suck less.

You have two ways to solve this problem:

1. Figure out what makes your employees keep leaving.

2. Hire people who are not good enough to work elsewhere.

>If it's true that lead exposure motivates crime, but at the same time causes people to feel too depressed and fatigued to act on their motivation

But people seem more sedentary and depressed than ever before. Animal studies show the same - the controls are less active than the exposed group.

Maybe you only made people too weak to be capable of any violent crime.

Lead is needed for the brain. The person is fully there (in fact more than before) they only stop uncontrollably reacting to everything, and stand straight, instead of being all wobbly.

That's just wishful thinking. The costs on health could be massive if lead is essential. (and it very likely is)

Why did the most enormous progress happen when this poisoning was widespread? And it wasn't only once but at least twice: In Ancient Rome lead was also widely used. The whole idea of "chronic toxicity" is bunk. It will eventually turn out that lead is essential.

Wärtsilä 31, which claims to be the most efficient engine ever built, claims 167.7g/kWh.

Diesel's engine used 317g/kWh.

So the amount of fuel used has not even halved in more than a century.

I actually looked it up. A late 19th century engine had a 26% efficiency. 1960's engines had ~34% efficiency and in the 2010's it was ~43%. So the same fuel consumption would give you 26HP in 1900, 34HP in 1960, and 43HP today.

The only major "improvement" has been the ability to cheat the tests and pass the regulations, because those who made them didn't realize you cannot dramatically improve such an old technology.

>The power output of an engine that achieves 30mpg today is easily double that of just 15 years ago.

That's a complete lie.

Diesel engines have been around for 130 years. Any improvements that could be made were made decades ago.

I don't think you need a tractor for fruit farming.

Can't they stop buying equipment that is locked like this?

Lower insulin is good. Some of these proteins are targeted by Rapamycin.

The glucose transports are increased, (GLUT3 is the one that supplies axons) and the rats weighed less.

See the link above. Also notice the supression of mTOR.

You can notice such behavior IRL as well.

Heavy metal toxicity is some sort of error. Lead, in particular, is required for glucose transport into axons,the failure of which leads to synapse loss and mental illness.

It's from the lack of heavy metals - lead is necessary for transporting glucose to the axon, and its deficiency leads to massive synapse loss and resulting mental illness.

The data that supposedly prove heavy metal toxicity are extremely suspect, sometimes outright bizarre. 1. They are elements, so no major changes could possibly occur. Thry appear in all recent geological history. 2. Their toxicity somehow went unnoticed until recently. There are no records of cadmium being considered toxic before 1970. Somehow nobody noticed the toxicity of the most toxic known metal. Thallium was noticed to be toxic soon after its discovery. Lead was only known to cause poisonings in very large amounts and mostly limited to breathing exposure, and was used in things like make up and even sweeteners. Presumably any noticeable toxicity would prevent it from being used in such cases. 3. The purpoted mechanism is absurd. The body picks the metals to be incorporated proteins with great accuracy, and pick the heavy metal, which poisons the protein and activates it when it should be inactive. It just sounds completely absurd to me. 4. Heavy metals only accumulate until certain concentrations are reached, then they start getting excreted. This effect is widely noted.

Why not just pair them with an engine? If they win they are cheating.

Your rating is recalculated when a cheater is found.

Rubidium is only expensive because it has no common use, so nobody mines it. It isn't really rare at all.

They can play the kick drum without any noticeable accompanying "dunnn" sound, which is enough to tell that their distortion must be extraordinarily low. In fact the people who said they "yes, they make sound" may dislike them for their dryness. Occams razor has nothing to do with that, as your phone screen has better image quality than the best TV screens a few decades ago. And that is my last reply, do it yourself if you care about measurements, you'd probably say I faked them anyway.

Based on comparing them with studio monitors. They sound more like good headphones or not like speakers at all. They can play string bass. The drums sound unamplified on good enough recordings. There is no doubt that their distortion is extraordinarily low, and it's not the distortion of the amplifier but the speakers. I don't know how you expect me to prove it to you.

I said it would cost 100 times as much to match the clarity. I told you you need to investigate it yourself as I have no way to convey that information over the internet. They just sound very clear, detailed and precise. The 0.5% claim seems quite believable after you listen to them. They are small, but with low distortion.

Then tell that Amir guy to test them. I don't know him.
