Fiber is essentially mass with little to no nutrition in it. So it makes you feel fuller without adding calories, like GLP-1 drugs.

I do think there's a strong argument that lack of fiber and protein are huge contributors to the world's obesity problems.


"So it makes you feel fuller without adding calories, like GLP-1 drugs"

Nobody really knows how GLP-1 agonists work, but given the other effects (e.g. insulin stability, change in other addictive behaviours etc.) it's definitely not just this.


In most developed countries people eat lots of fiber. Like just unbelievable amounts of meat, more than ever before in human history and prehistory.

What are you talking about?? Meat contains no fiber. The primary fiber source is plant-based foods (e.g., vegetables). So modern populations eating lots of meat means they're getting little to no fiber.

Sorry, that was a mistype, I mean lots of meat, very little fiber.

Generally the border between Paxistan and India cannot be crossed though. I believe Attari/Wagah is the only place, and it was closed too last I heard.

Indeed, it has been closed since the aerial clashes last year. But we can hope for peace, and with it cross border tourism.

Can locals still cross at Kasur/Ganda Singh Wala like before 1971?

To my knowledge, no. In the recent past, either you could cross via the the Wagah-Attari border crossing or get on the Thar Express train [1], which connects Karachi with Jodhpur via the Zero Point crossing. But the Thar Express has been closed since 2019.

Oh boy, instead of building an efficient index or optimizing the start menu or its built-in web browser, they're adding more power usage to make the computer randomly guess what I want returned since they still can't figure out how to return search results of what you actually typed.

Maybe Office 2003, but modern .docx files often don't work right in the web version of Office or in LibreOffice.

But that wouldn't be backward-compatibility? Also when the MS-pushed web versions can't get it right, does it matter?

Max can be third, but Office is probably the second biggest computer software there is behind Chrome. Office is largely the entire reason people use Windows. Killing the brand that made you the world's biggest company for a long time is rather unprecedented.

HBO's was bad, but it's just the fourth place streaming service in its primary market, so the scale is pretty minor comparatively.


Also notably $1.2 million to the Blender Foundation.

Those are a few examples of weird art from hundreds of years of examples, but even then, those aren't super unskilled paintings. Medieval artists still used shading.

If that's the price to pay for having a working browser until then.


The store is under no legal obligation to sell it to you, just like you're not obligated to buy it for that price. Depending on the situation, that might be false advertising they could get in trouble for, and obviously you're not committing a crime if you don't know the real price, but if someone says "oops, that's a mistake", and you take it anyway and give less money, that is theft in most states.


True. They can keep you out of the store. Under some circumstances they can indeed keep you out of the store. However it's still the US and the reasons for keeping people out of stores are restricted, and we've all learned in high school why.

But, once inside, an offer is made through the pricetag and accepted the sale is final. Before payment, before ... The whole point of price tags is making an offer. So if you are inside the store, take the good, and accept the sale at the price on the tag, obviously a court will rule both sides are in agreement about the sale and price at that point (NOT at the cash register) and that's that.

Additionally, money legislation makes cash the universal cop-out. You can always choose to settle a debt through cash. And that debt is what's on the price tag, the offer that was accepted, nothing else. In other words, the cashier and the manager, hell the CEO comes down and refuses? Give them cash and walk out with the goods. Perfectly legal thing to do. The sale was already final, and this settles the debt. Done and done.

This is why messing with price tags in stores is such a serious offense.

This goes pretty far in law. You can actually go to the IRS, ask to pay with cash money, and they'll let you pay your tax bill cash. Cash is the universal cop-out.

The government pays for healthcare for about 43% of Americans. The rest mostly get it from work.
