"Well if you don't buy this car you are a moron who can't see how much better this car is. So keep driving that piece of shit car you dumbass. So, have I sold you on this car?"
Seeing people at their worst, victims of violence, shootings, car accidents, mothers screaming over a dead child, etc it is no wonder they become cynical and some turn to drugs or alcohol. People will lie to their face, have a bloody knife in their hand or a home packed with stolen goods and say they didn't do it. They need mental health care as much as vets.
The US is huge and there is a lot to see. I know working class people who only travel as far as they can drive in a day trip. As far as America being "the MOST dangerous country outside of warzones" while it is popular to badmouth where you live (familiarity breeds contempt) I've never felt my life is in danger anywhere in the US. On the other hand I don't go into areas likely to be crime ridden and these exist in other countries too.
Yes, lots of Americans don't go beyond the Carribean and don't have passports simply because they can spend a lifetime traveling around North America. They in turn have lots of stereotypes of all the places they've never been. People think the French are all horribly hostile snobs, I found them friendly, Turkey was like Midnight Express, ummm, no, and China is a police state with agents following your every step, nope. I was more worried about wandering off and getting lost than anything else in China.
most of the world is in fact freer than them, has a better system in place for their people, and doesn’t have some of the major problems that America has
Very debatable. Every country has its own issues and restrictions. Turkey is an autocracy for instance. Vietnam is a single party state with major corruption problems, etc. Switzerland is safe but very expensive. You seem to have a narrow view of the world.
You are breaking calorie sources down into their biological dynamics. You need to compare calorie values with the carb/protein/fiber compositions. However, within the grouping of carbohydrates and fats you are dealing with a thermodynamic CICO situation because their metabolism is exothermic. Proteins undergo gluconeogenesis (turning them into glucose) which is a net energy loss but requires very low blood sugar levels to trigger it.
I agree that nutrition labels are pretty limited in how accurate they can be and how much room for analysis is left. Since I do a lot of my own cooking I'm forced to do a lot of estimating. I've found the best rule for myself is to watch portion sizes, stay a little hungry and keep carb heavy foods to a minimum.
I remember most people thought that the Metallica tune they used for the original doom was Master of Puppets but the devs said it was No Remorse, heavily tweaked of course.
A lot of the old Apple II game sounds mainly due to just growing up playing on an Apple II. The Ultima series had some of the best music. Ultima IIIUltima IV
The vast majority of business apps and network admin apps are written for windows so you either can't run them on unix or they would require an additional layer of complexity that can't be justified "just to be on unix".
For dev and IT work I use a mix of windows and RHEL. Business apps in windows and terminal sessions on our linux servers. My db work is almost 100% linux.
Probably the best response here. I'd also add the moment the user has to deal with using the CLI that is it for them. I can't imagine the average consumer going into config files or even dealing with "chmod". It is like auto enthusiasts rolling their eyes at people who don't change their own spark plugs or oil.
