    1. They arnt banning coal/wood fired pizza ovens.
    2. They are restricting particulate emissions not Co2 emissions. It's not a climate change thing it's an air quality thing. The pizzareias need to filter out the particulate, not get rid of their pizza ovens.
    3. Even if they were banning coal/wood fired pizza ovens it wouldn't effect pizza. Pizza ovens get up to 900f and the pizza cooks in 90 seconds. There is no time for any smoke flavor to penitrate the pizza. A natural gas or electric oven is going to yield the same result so long as they hit that 900f temp.
  • Exactly, corporation and individual behavior is predominantly emergent of the system. Theres some blame that can be passed on to the consumer or the corporation but only so much, it's not my fault I can't afford an electric car. It's not my fault installing solar panels on my house won't recoup the cost by the time I leave/sell.

    If you want people to eat less meat you need to make it worth people's while to eat less meat. You don't need to outlaw meat, you just need to make it less attractive from a financial perspective.

    If you want people to use less gas you don't need to outlaw gas cars you need to make it less attractive.

    You could write individual incentives and disincentives but a carbon tax is simple and hits at the crux of the problem. Remove beef, oil, gas, solar, wind, hydro subsidies and implement a carbon tax. Boom, meat alternatives are now cost comparable. Green energy is now handily cheaper than oil and gas. Theres also a sizable amount of conservatives who are for a carbon tax since it's a "free market" solution instead of picking winners and losers.

  • There are a lot of reasons to dislike Musk, this is not one of them.

    When Elon came on board Tesla their business plan was to buy existing super cars and an existing electric drive train and then convert the super cars.

    This was all going to be done by hand in a workshop. They would do dozens of cars a year.

    Without Elon that's what they would be doing, he was behind the transition to building their own vehicles on their production lines and volumes comparable to normal manufacturers.

    That's why he won his lawsuit to be listed as a founder.

  • That's not the point I was trying to raise.

    My point was that people love to pile on anything artificial because they see it as unnatural and they claim it's cause they just want to be aware of the risks, but those same people usually don't know and don't care that things they partake of everyday are also cancer risks and much higher ones than the artificial stuff.

    My point in asking OP was because id wager (and wanted to see) they didn't know those were cancer risks and won't change their habits or they did know but hadn't changed their habits.

  • Do you drink hot coffee or tea or soup? Cause hot beverages are considered more likely to cause cancer than this designation for aspartame.

    Do you eat meat? Cause that's two levels higher than this designation for aspartame.

    Also the studies this ruling is based on indicates you would have to drink ~30 aspartame sweetened sodas a day to be at any risk.

  • The Roman's used to add lead acetate to their wines to make them sweet. There's records of people at the time noting that drinking to much of this lead sweented wine seems to cause issues. So humanity has known that lead isn't necessarily a good thing for the human body for a very long time.

  • To be fair, a lot of research had been held up by it being federally illegal.

    I think enough people have used it for long enough that we can assume it's relatively harmless but we can't say it's completely harmless just because the studies haven't been done.

  • Are you a beginner? Lifting 5-6 times a week is a bit much, even for an experienced lifter, but especially for someone new.

    What kind of lifting are you doing? Olympic lifts? X sets of y? Keeping track of your weights and increasing when you can?

  • Brian Shaw is also 6'8" and 400lbs of muscle and he didnt get there by eating 10k calories a day, he stays there by eating 10k calories.

    Muscle is metobolcially active, about 20cals a day, so if (subtracting bone, organs, etc) he's 280lbs of muscle, 5,600 calories is literally just to keep is muscle from melting away.

    He also exercises as a job, probably close to 2k cals a day.

    You need about 1200kcal a day for metabolic function.

    So he's burning ~ 8k calories a day, the 10k calories is also when he's bulking up so he's trying to put on size both fat and muscle tissure that already exists (it can take years to build 20lbs of muscle, but lose it and try and put it back on and you can do it in months).

    Tldr: You do not need to eat absurd amounts of calories to out on muscle, just aim for ~200 calories a day more than your maintenance. Eating 5k calories a day when you are 5'9" and 170lbs at 20% body fat will not magically make you put on lbs and lbs of muscle a month.

  • Someone Brand new to working out will get newbie gains, in the first year of working out a young male can expect to put on around 10lbs of muscle. So around 0.8lbs of muscle a month. But it'll be front heavy, but even at like 1.5-2lbs a month, fat is less dense then muscle so if you're losing more fat than muscle you are gonna look smaller.

    Look for tone not muscle growth, muscle growth isn't fast, it's a slow process and one day you look back at year old pictures and go "damn..."

  • You should add in toe touches, everyone should be able to touch their toes without bending at the knees. I recommend bending you're knees, touch your toes, straighten your knees out till you feel the stretch, hold for a few seconds, do like 10 times.

  • There's alway more opportunity and money to be made in new emerging markets, just not by the current top dogs.

    That's why cigarette companies fought against e-cigs while buying those companies out.

    That's why power companies for the longest time poo pooed solar while quietly investing in solar capacity.

    The big guys block and depress these new markets while they get their ducks in a row cause if these new markets just exploded uncontrolled they'd miss out on getting in cheap.
