McDonald's is awesome and yummy. Why all the hate?


I live somewhere with BYD vehicles everywhere. You aren't missing anything.


You right. You don't need statins. Nobody does. But look at the statistics. You might also drop dead tomorrow. It's hard to know. If you think eating and exercising would solve heart disease, you are mis-informed. It's the number one killer. If we all died at 30, the drugs would not need to exist. I'm sure you would like to live as long as you can. Taking statins is cheap and simple for most people.


What are you talking about. People who need statins should take statins; this is informed by a basic metabolic panel, something every doctor does.


I recommend the same. There are other interventions, but these two medications are straightforward to obtain with low or no side effects.


You can only do things to reduce your risk. And whatever intervention would be based on overall population statistics, since it's difficult to know your own personal risk. Heart disease kills marathon runners. You can't just "fix it". Someone who has naturally high cholesterol won't magically be okay by changing their lifestyle and diet.


"You have no conscious experience or memory of the moment when you go under and your consciousness is severed."

They started to lube me up for a colonoscopy before I was completely under. I 100% remember that and told them to give me a few more seconds.


You can collect a list of other peoples 'collections which you can pretend to be passionate about.


I tried to mail myself some personal items from Japan once. It was a pain in the ass.


I have a corporation in Japan, and I have a set of fancy old-school stamps.


I agree, and my handwriting also sucks. My brother could have been an architect; his handwriting is amazing without trying. Give me a keyboard and recess too.

My grandmother wrote me letters in cursive. They got more and more unreadable as she got older. I should have bought her a typewriter.


architects dont need good handwriting anymore either
