My favorite meal was cooking a hotdog on the open stove flame, campfire style. That charr was so good.

Some places use penile codes, as well.

I like to climb up through the toilet seat ring, and sit on the thin part, wearing the ring around my waist like a pool floatie. I then do a kind of hoola-hoop sway against the ring to massage my abdomen thoroughly. It works better with the soft, squishy seats, of course.

You kind of answered your own question. There are a lot of conditions and feedbacks needed for stasis. As any are pushed to or beyond their limits, a cascade occurs, having catastrophic effects. Body temp regulation is one of the most dire, as we can’t survive for long below a certain temp. Regarding that, burn victims can actually die from hypothermia if not treated immediately following 3rd degree burns, due to the amount of fat and skin cells lost to burns. I hope some of this made sense. I’m digging deep to remember, but it’s been a while. Cheers

Good question. It’s very likely safe to assume that we have an adaptive variance for these kinds of things, but it would still be a very small range. If you’ve heard it, it was probably supported by a study that indicates that correlation. For the most part, it’s something you’ll almost never even see. Iirc, the minimum healthy, functional bmi for men is 5%, 12% for women, as I was taught years ago. Anything below those ranges and things start to get weird, or it would take great effort and water/diet restrictions to maintain. The point being, anyone who says they’re 0%, or even like 3%, has no idea what they’re talking about. Thanks for having this discussion with me!

BS Biology, former ISSA trainer: The simple answer is - fat mobilizes globally, prioritized by access to circulation. The last 3.5% of body fat is brown adipose, which you can’t lose, but if you could, you’d die from hypothermia.

Ron Swanson smirks at your comment.

I almost wish our bots would remove bias, unless it’s some kind of persuasive essay. I’m sure there are some out there.

And to be clear, I’m blaming the author, not the bot. It’s just forwarding the sentiment of the author, albeit more succinctly.

Even the tldr bot forwards such a heavy bias into the delivery of this information, I couldn’t even get through it without eye-rolling. I’d like to receive the info, and then be allowed to think for myself.

This isn’t journalism - it’s a thirsty-for-validation, one-sided take on this topic. This proposal may not be viable in a vacuum, but there may be some interesting ideas that can be taken from it, when the reader isn’t being spoonfed the psyche of an author that clearly wants you to agree with them. Like I said - I’d rather either hear both sides fairly, or get the info without it already dripping with the stank of another person’s very negative opinion. Whether or not you agree with me, as long as you’re thinking for yourself, you’re doing it right.

Edited first sentence for clarity.

Mathematicians. On a sphere, you can make a triangle that consists of three 90 degree angles, adding up to 270. A flat triangle will require that all angles add up to 180, i.e. 60, 60, 60.

Edit: I’m not a mathematician, and yet I know this. So this one could probably include anyone who has ever had a math teacher that covered spherical geometry.

I should’ve dropped when I stopped caring. Got academic dismissal instead. Years later, I was tired of bs jobs, and I was ready to get serious. I went back to school part-time and earned my 4-year degree in a grand total of 12 years. Hardest thing I’ve ever done, but I don’t have to bear that sense of failure anymore.

When you’re ready to make that push, you’ll know. Your journey is unique.

I got mine in a set that came with a poop knife.

I think I get what you’re saying. It’s hard to enjoy story beats when you’ve seen the tropes a million times already. When a plot-point is revealed, you typically know how it’ll play out, so you now have to watch it unfold. This seems to get worse over time, but there are gems that genuinely have held my interest and allowed me to be propelled by curiosity, rather than being pulled through a game by recycled narratives.

Having a teenager has given me a new perspective on these things, because they haven’t been desensitized to those commonly used elements just yet. I’d say to keep gaming and remember the special few that made you feel something or kept you guessing. Cheers
