Naw man, gotta keep you poor and debt ridden. Otherwise, who’s going to buy their get rich quick course?

But just not as much from some types as others

Yeah, and that’s exactly what we’re talking about in the context of protein completeness.

If you are already regulating what you eat and praying a lot of attention to the nutritional value or the calorie count […]

The context of this comment chain is bodybuilding, so it applies for the majority of this population. But you’re right that for the general population, you don’t need to concern yourself with any of this as long as you have a varied diet. I’d still encourage everyone to have lots of rice and beans though because that shit’s delicious.

IIRC, his point was just that it doesn’t have to be in one meal. Your diet as a whole still needs all the amino acids.

Legumes tend to be very filling for the amount of protein they provide, plus having to complement them with grains to make a complete protein greatly increases the Calories to protein ratio. Rice and beans do make for a great cheat meal when you can fit it in though.

Okay. So you’ve categorized yourself by this arbitrary metric. Now what? How is this useful in any way?

Considering that people are somewhere around 70% water, that would make sense.

Besides what’s already been said, even if there is food waste from things left on the shelves, at least this allows us to know that certain items are undesirable for everyone and to avoid acquiring more of them. If you hand out a bit to everyone and they all end up in different trash bins, you’ll never know about it and you’ll never fix the problem.

Health Canada denied the request due to lack of research into the efficacy of the drug to treat cluster headaches.

That’s a load of BS. We know it helps this one person. Why does it matter if it helps the average person suffering this affliction?

Modern problems require modern problems

As far as I can tell, Costco isn’t the lesser of two evils, but rather the one non evil choice of the pair. Their profit margin is something like 2%, which is just what they get from membership fees. But this is what I recall from memory, and it’s data from many years ago, so if anyone has evidence to the contrary, do share.

If you “buy” it, then it’s free for the foreseeable future. That’s how it’s always been with the Epic free games.

They’re just trying to get people to use their storefront because they can’t compete in any other way.

Didn’t Costco also refuse to sign it? Considering that they’re basically the ideal business to support, it makes me a little suspicious about the value of this code of conduct.

And yet, here we are using this metric to discuss how to use less oil. How is this supposed to benefit them?

Of course it’s possible. The question is whether someone is willing to pay for it out of their own pockets. Compute isn’t particularly cheap.

Office stretches plus one exercise

Innovation is incentivized with greater returns. Just because those returns aren’t excessively large, doesn’t mean it’s not there. You still get a net positive on innovating. Cigarettes are taxes in such a way that smoking at all is a net negative for most people. That’s what makes it a disincentive.

You can cut down the trees and they’ll still hold on to their carbon. Just don’t burn them.

Carbon capture is basically a form of energy storage. If it’s energy that we wouldn’t otherwise be able to capture, or if it’s more energy than we need for consumption at a given moment in time, then it makes sense to store it instead. I don’t know enough to say if these would apply in practice, but it’s plausible that it’s better to capture than to use the energy.

Only May? They’re barely going to notice it.

That would depend on the higher order effects of constructing more student housing. Will it lead to more students coming into the province to study or more of those who already live in the city to move out? If yes, then that needs to be accounted for. If not, then it makes sense to count this like any other housing because students will still need a place to stay and will be competing with other residents for the same rentals, thus lowering supply. More student housing means more of other rentals available on the market.

It would also depend on whether or not there’s already enough student housing available. There’s no point in building more if there aren’t enough interested students to fill it.
