Using this technique you can get water to genuinely flow uphill! Amazing!

This is officially the most stupid thing i have read today. This implies a world with no disease, genetic predisposition, or accidents.

Not all diabetes is preventable and a lot is not simply curable with diet. Type one for example is a child onset genetic autoimmune disorder that prevents your body from producing enough insulin. Untreated by doctors it is fatal no matter what your diet is. Some type 2 diabetes is preventable, but even when it is, if you don't catch it before it onsets and you develop that insulin resistance you may remain insulin resistant for life and always require medication. Also a diabetic diet is not a "simple dietary change". The american diet is a carb rich diet that makes monitoring blood sugar to be a constant uphill battle. There is no simple fix for diabetes.

Also, you are exactly the type of patient doctors hate. You haven take no preventive actions to ensure that you remain healthy (such as a yearly physical) and when a doctor does see you roll into the emergency room because you think you're dying, he is now taking extreme measures to get you healthy again. With your lack of insurance, hes pretty certain he will not be paid for it.

What's more frustrating is knowing that in all reality, there are TONS of closet atheists/agnostics out there, maybe enough to even make a majority,

But there's just so much family and peer pressure to not rock the boat that progress is slow.

So as usual, it will be another uphill battle for acceptance. Battle after battle may be lost, but the war will eventually be won.

nice centerline landing... lots of runways go up and down in altitude... if it goes in one direction generally you want to land UPHILL

Most (many?) people who call it gif do know this, and just don't care what the creator thought. Since the G from Graphics was hard, they were always going to be pushing uphill to change it in the acronym, as as far as I can tell from here they have failed rather comprehensively.

See this LA Times poll for example (roughly one third jif, two thirds gif) - http://articles.latimes.com/2012/jun/15/business/la-fi-tn-gif-jiff-25th-birthday-20120615

Ahhh, good ol portrait view. Methinks I will enjoy this temporary, tertiary phase in media standards. However, gamers who awaken to this non-issue and cease to make it into an issue, should remember that early conversion of arcade games, which were in portrait view, had an uphill battle to recreate the same experience on home display sets oriented in landscape.

Modern mobile gamers should all position themselves to break this mental boundary. Dedicate a little bit of your brain's background processing to fight the power of arbitrary persuasion. We're still in a developmental stage before display monitors completely explode and offer full customization with morphing length, width and heights; not to mention geometric adaptation beyond the rectangle.

FIGHT THE POWER

A deep constitutional scholar such as yourself probably already knows this:

"For more than a hundred years, the answer was clear, even if the words of the amendment itself were not. The text of the amendment is divided into two clauses and is, as a whole, ungrammatical: “A well regulated militia being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.” The courts had found that the first part, the “militia clause,” trumped the second part, the “bear arms” clause. In other words, according to the Supreme Court, and the lower courts as well, the amendment conferred on state militias a right to bear arms—but did not give individuals a right to own or carry a weapon.

Enter the modern National Rifle Association. Before the nineteen-seventies, the N.R.A. had been devoted mostly to non-political issues, like gun safety. But a coup d’état at the group’s annual convention in 1977 brought a group of committed political conservatives to power—as part of the leading edge of the new, more rightward-leaning Republican Party. (Jill Lepore recounted this history in a recent piece for The New Yorker.) The new group pushed for a novel interpretation of the Second Amendment, one that gave individuals, not just militias, the right to bear arms. It was an uphill struggle. At first, their views were widely scorned. Chief Justice Warren E. Burger, who was no liberal, mocked the individual-rights theory of the amendment as “a fraud.”"

@scannex Dude... are you really citing a marketing campaign for weight loss pushers? I bet you I could find data that shows the effectiveness of penis enhancement pills too. If you took a few you might find you like 'em thick ;-). Try some primary literature, and I'll respond in kind.

Try to refute this claim: "Overweight or mildly obese individuals with otherwise normal bio-markers show no decrease in life expectancy from normal."

If you can't, then tell me why it is okay to berate someone about their weight knowing nothing about their health overall?


I don't what source your quote came from.
But I will happily refute it.
Here you go, from the NIH
A referenced article from Oxford
Another study
Heres the wiki for Leptin so you can understand why the release of leptin (from having too much fat) creates a vicious cycle causing you to eat more and more.
Another article on the increased risk for diabetes in the obese from you know... the journal NATURE

This is not a "jury is out" scenario. Directly and indirectly obesity causes a myriad of health complications and increased risk for debilitating and deadly diseases.

You are fighting against countless areas of research with one obscure data point from what is probably a single study that I have no source for. Even with the source its an incredibly uphill battle for you.

Being Obese is unhealthy, and except for in an EXTREME minority of genetic cases, completely modifiable.

When I was a kid, we had to ride the school bus 5 miles uphill in the snow, both ways!

I don't understand why the legs are at that weird angle. It makes them look like they would bend and break off if you added any extra weight to them. Wouldn't a more vertical leg be stronger? Maybe not straight up and down but less than they have used. It looked really awkward climbing uphill with the bent front legs - like it was skinning it's knees as it walked.

So much work to be done, what an uphill battle...

The moon's a great place to build all kinds of evil shit. You wait, it will be more popular than drones or satellites one day. Picture a uranium powered robot howitzer with nearly unlimited ammo that can assassinate people on earth at will and defend itself for 190 years. It makes its own ammo from the moon dust and uses steam instead of gunpowder. Indestructible, with unbreakable command encryption.


You don't even need that. All you have to do from the moon to cause massive devastation to the earth is throw rocks. The moon is essentially uphill of a very large gravity well, all you need to do is give a rock a little push and BLAMO. Anything can be used for evil, from words to bombs it is seldom the thing that is the problem, usually it is the person/people.
