The study groups vegetarians with vegans. The name is similar but the implications are very different. A vegetarian may consume, depending on the type, eggs, milk products and honey. Those are very consequential choices compared to omitting them. It would have been a better study to separate these two groups, and even better to separate vegans, lacto-vegetarians, ovo-vegetarians, and lacto-ovo-vegetarians.

> If something gets typed as `any` all bets are off and there are no benefits.

Then why allow `any`? Using TS without the compiler and linter configs tuned to your benefit is like trying to use a plane only as a car. No discipline required if you let yourself fly with settings that set you up for long term success later.

Also, Flow is not on the same level as TS. It's a dead project and was never fully baked.

That'd be awesome - I'd appreciate learning from something like that, and I really appreciate Typescript

> eat on average about 1.5 non raw meals per day

A helpful way I've heard this described is "high raw" Also I think it may be easier to maintain long-term, which maybe you'd agree. In any case I'll always be vegan, no matter how much raw or cooked food I eat. Too many "raw vegans" I've seen revert to eating carcasses.

It's weird that you'd be downvoted for expressing what you have dislike for.

> The color blue makes me feel sad

Downvoted! I love the color blue.

Edit: and now I'm being downvoted for this observation. Maybe Alanis Morissette would say this is ironic

> As a vegan I refrain from eating insects (although I find it a lot less offensive than eating mammals), so some selected nuts/seeds and a B12 supplement do the trick for me.

Hey cool, I'm vegan too! I agree, supplementing B12 and eating nuts and seeds is way nicer (morally and taste) than eating bugs.

> Given that we can buy tropical fruit (yay for mango) by the box, and have knives, I'd say it has never been easier.

That's a good way to look at it and I agree. However in my own experience, it is still a lot of work. I live in the tropics where it's easy to buy a huge box of papayas, mangos, etc. I did this for about 3 months, eating only raw food and mostly only fruit, and some greens and soaked seeds. My body felt very strong and refreshed, but I spent a lot of time preparing and even buying food to keep it in stock and fresh. I slowly went back to more cooked foods like rice and lentils. It doesn't feel as good, but it's a compromise of time at this point.

Somehow I interpreted and pronounced it as [r]esour[c]e

Sorry, I'm confused where you stand on the issue - do you agree that we are originally physiologically frugivorous? It's possible to get all necessary nutrition through fruits, leaves (greens), nuts/seeds (and may have once required the addition of insects for which we can now supplement) but it's very time consuming and tedious to do so. And in fact, I don't believe we are well adapted to eating animals.

> Fruit is absolutely healthy for humans - physiologically we are frugivorous apes

I agree, and it's incredible how much vitrol I've seen in response to this biological and physiological fact.

Here is an example source

> The dietary status of the human species is that of an unspecialized frugivore [1]

That's very interesting, I didn't know that. Looking forward to the sources, thank you

> A meme that encourages people to immunocompromise themselves and their children.

Being unvaccinated is not immunocompromised. They're almost orthogonal and indeed someone can be both vaccinated and immunocompromised (and actually immunocompromised from vaccine injury).

> It's not just an internet phenomenon; the originator was Andrew Wakefield

Maybe in recent times? But there seems to have been people against vaccination since its origin.

Could it be - in part - due to the virus changing? Other vaccines with high coverage are known to have lost effect due to mutation, such as pertussis. There is also the example of the best-guess flu vaccine of the season. The article mentions it is in highly vaccinated populations, which contradicts the heard immunity idea, as well as would equate to a high selective pressure on the virus to change. Also looking into this I've learned about how prior to the vaccine, mothers would pass on a temporary immunity to their children but that this is lost with the vaccine - could that also be at play here?

It saved the life of woman I know during pregnancy, quite literally. She has recurrent hyperemesis gravidarum. Which is nausea and vomiting in pregnancy so persistent and strong that some mothers resort to abortion due to the pain and suffering. She was in the hospital begging for her life while the doctors were unable to help. None of the standard treatments worked for her. She had lost over 20% of her pre pregnancy weight and hadn't eaten in weeks, surviving off her own dwindling body fat and a banana bag. (I can't overstate how agonizing it is. If you're skeptical, there are plenty of mothers accounts to read) She was discharged for the fourth time, where every previous time she became so dehydrated from the lack of IV fluids that she was re admitted within a day. Finally, encouraged by other mothers success with it, she tried medical cannabis. Slowly she could actually drink water, then a day later sip some juice, another day tiny bites of crackers. She still vomited, and was still nauseous, but less intensely and could push through it more easily. She could finally eat. The baby was born vaginally, no complications and no health issues (and still so, years later).

It's just one data point, but worth looking into further.

I agree that the keyboard is terrible, but I think it's weird how many people just suffer through it and don't do anything about it. I put an external keyboard on top of the built in one (with a custom made plastic plate to block the keys of the built in from getting pressed). I am stuck with the laptop but I'm not going to be stuck with a bad keyboard.

I don't find anything inflammatory about what you said and yet your comment is very grey.

> For example it only serves the racists' cause to argue who is actually black or who is actually white, or how much of each.

When you're treated better the lighter/whiter you are, then it makes sense why people would argue about it

You're arguing semantics when the point is that they likely aren't ask sophisticated as they make themselves look.

My daughter speaks super well from watching Swedish shows with the app Barnkanalen SVT - just use a VPN with an address in Sweden to access it.

Hey, I've been learning Kafka too and posted this on another sibling comment:

> So I've been looking into microservices communicating with a persistent message broker like Kafka and what I'm still not sure about is the frotnend - that is, I know that the FE will communicate over https with an API gateway service (so REST or GraphQL) but if the FE needs a resource, how should the API gateway handle the request back to the browser? The only pattern I've seen so far is to issue a 201 CREATED for e.g. creating a user. Have you come across any other patterns for this?

I recall that the origin of Korean is somewhat mysterious, have you come across that?

Most of the longest living people eat a high (complex) carbohydrate diet. What benefit do you see in lowering carbohydrate intake, unless you're conflating e.g. processed white bread with sweet potatoes?

Yep, exactly what I do currently

Do you work remotely or in an office? I do about the same (9 to 3) but remotely, so the visibility of hours in an office is what I'd worry about, though I have no plans to work in an office.

> I hate working from home

Why do you hate working from home? I hate working in an office and will never do it again.

> and don't want to have to rent a separate office space on my own dime.

Also, most companies will (and should) pay for remote workers to have an office outside of their house, if that's what they need. That's been my experience for the past 5 years anyways.

> your complaints are with shitty offices, not something inherent to onsite vs. remote work.

For myself and many others I've read accounts from, it's so much more than a 'real office'. It means no commute, no office drama, being able to talk with my wife in person during the day, make my own lunch... For people passionate about remote, it's more than a specialized office, but a whole different way of working.

I'm aware of that yes...

It really seems to depend on the company culture (which itself depends on the actual product) and office setup. E.g. I work remotely, spend time throughout the day relaxing and always done by 3pm and very well compensated

I'm not sure why you're getting downvoted? I was in Tucson in the summer in a rammed earth house (about 2-3 feet thick as you mention) and it was comfortably cool inside. The whole house had very large eaves, as well [1]

[1] I don't recall the other design details that made it so cool in temperature, but it was all analog/natural (i.e. no AC)
