LBJsPNS··on We tried to run a social media site and it was awful
Absurd premises receive absurd responses.
LBJsPNS··on Macroeconomic changes have made it impossible for me to want to pay you
But you don't understand! These people who were laid off are important! So much so they didn't need a union, because the company couldn't possibly let them go. Unions are for all those other people who aren't important!

Perhaps some of you are beginning to understand the term Solidarity Forever.

LBJsPNS··on Has Earth’s inner core stopped its strange spin?
Fucking magnets, how do they work?
LBJsPNS··on How I Lost 76 Pounds at Age 59 and Changed My Life
So are plenty of other things that a keto diet restricts. Not saying I gave it up completely; just not eating a pound of New York strip at a meal with everything that goes with it. It's amazing how much less you want to eat when you start eating less.

Edit: Don't get me wrong, whatever gets the lard off one's ass is a good thing. Whatever works for you is what's important.

Went from 230 to 145 at age 60. Cut out meat and alcohol and sugar. The pounds fell off. You're welcome to keto. I like food.
LBJsPNS··on Plant-based meat is turning out to be a flop
Always is a relative term. I can assure you that as recently as the 1990s there were large swaths of the U.S. where if you didn't consume meat at each meal you would essentially be branded a communist.

Do you cook your food?

LBJsPNS··on Realistic daily range of an electric vehicle
Your gas gauge is pegged on E. There's no other gas station for miles. There's a significant queue. What do you do?

How about shut up, get in line, and remind yourself next time not to be stupid and run out of gas? Or electricity? Or diesel?

LBJsPNS··on MacBook owners have two months to claim up to $395 over butterfly keyboard woes
Apparently not enough. This community doesn't really reflect the world at large.
LBJsPNS··on How the marijuana ‘green rush’ fell apart
I can buy ounces all day in Portland for $20. Is it Jesus incarnate? Nope. Is it perfectly good sinsemilla that gets ya high? Yup.

LBJsPNS··on What is a tube amp? Why do audiophiles like it “better” than a solid state amp?
They sounded phenomenal for their size.

Damn. You're all over this thread. SHow us on the doll where Wikipedia hurt you.
LBJsPNS··on Ask HN: Why is the Wikipedia Foundation's begging tolerated?
You do know you're welcome to simply not use Wikipedia. You can even use it and not donate anything. Their "begging" is "tolerated" because it's their site and they are entitled to post anything they like on it.

They tried. Gorbachev wanted to turn Russia into another Sweden. Bush the Elder convinced the World Bank not to loan to them unless they agreed to impose neoliberal economic policies. Which led to oligarchy. And then Putin.
