  • Upon further research, he seems hard-core apolitical.

    I must have assumed he was like his character that he played on Boston Legal - who was clownishly right-wing.

    Sorry about that improper assumption, and thanks for calling me out on it!

  • From what I've heard, Shatner is normally pretty right-wing about issues. Maybe fiscally, but not socially. Maybe I'm misremembering, or conflating his character on Boston Legal.

    I guess it shows people can be complex.

    Awkward interaction with my doctor

  • as you get older you'll become more conservative

    Jump

  • This didn't work for me, either. I'm in my 50's, and keep moving leftward.

    I think what happens is:

    1. As people age, they tend to get richer.
    2. As people get richer, they tend to lose empathy.
    3. As people lose empathy, they tend to become more conservative.

  • What is the best way to drop 50lbs in two months without spending alot and no fad diets?

    Jump

  • Well - I don't think this is healthy or possible in 2 months.

    Last year, I weighed in at 242 with high blood pressure and decided to get serious about weight loss. I started tracking my input and output to my system. I have a watch that measures approximately how much I work off. I use apps to track how much I'm taking in. The one factor that is missing is your BMR, your basal metabolic rate. This is how many calories you burn just by being alive. There are special scales or devices that can measure this for you. You will need this to figure out the math.

    Food calories eaten - BMR - Exercise calories spent = Calorie deficit or excess

    So, if you exercise more, or eat fewer calories, you'll lose weight.

    So, a pound of fat is 3500 calories, so if you have a deficit of about 500 calories a day, that's about a pound of fat per week. If you have a deficit of 1000 calories a day - that's a lot! - then you might lose 2 pounds a week.

    Using this formula, I managed to lose about 45+ pounds in 6 months. I worked up to a walk+jog and managed to cover about 3+ miles per day. Unfortunately, with the cold weather of winter, I've not been able to exercise much, so my weight loss stopped in December.

    But what you're talking about is losing 5+ pounds per week. That would require a 2500 calorie deficit! That would be a super-heavy workout every day. And then eating very sensibly. Even so, there is danger that some of your weight loss would be muscle and bone loss in addition to fat.

    tl;dr - Don't do this. Also, talk to a doctor.

    One murder is OK. Two is over the line.

    But it's the low bar that the Republicans are still on the wrong side of.

    Its printers used to be kinda so-so, but HP and the other brands decided to become so shitty - Brother became number 1 by remaining stagnant.

  • What was it trained on, though?

    Even if what it produces is "not technically child abuse", it was trained on how to make pretend child abuse, emulating what it has already seen. It uses previous child abuse as a guide to make stuff. It may also mix and match the real child abuse to make pretend child abuse. There might be real abused children in those images.

    That's bad, right?

    Maybe her family could make him and his family poor for life.

    It doesn't substitute for Ms. Good's life in any way, but it does a mote of justice.
