Are you implying I’m not the hero that realizes it and breaks us all out? How dare you!

To the manufacturer. Your mom.

So they weren’t willing to give out their name, but their full address was fine?

The people that literally created Linux disagree with you. They all say that Linux is the kernel.

You can stop trying to explain your point of view. I understand exactly what you’re saying, it’s just incorrect. No amount of explaining is going to change that

You have it backwards. Linux is the kernel. That’s it. The distribution isn’t Linux. A distro includes the Linux kernel as well as extra user land applications. Anything that uses the Linux kernel is Linux. Android uses the Linux kernel, that makes it Linux. Yes, it’s a restricted and locked down version of Linux, but it’s still Linux.

Android is Linux

“You’re still going to feed me, right? Cool cool, just checking. Carry on.”

I don’t understand the “I’m 39 years old” line.

You can do whatever you want. All I’m saying is that you will lose weight if your calorie intake from all sources is less than your calorie output from all sources.

I didn’t say just mass was conserved. I said that mass and energy, when taken together, are conserved. Mass is just another form of energy.

I assure you, ci/co is not a “spherical cow”. Every single joule of energy is accounted for.

Huh? No I didn’t, it’s all accounted for.

Unused energy is stored, or passed out as waste (literally calories down the toilet).

With every diet, named or not, the weight loss aspect always comes from “calories in vs calories out”.

Some of them, like keto, change the way the body accesses the calories in food, but the math still holds. If your body can’t access the calories in what you eat, they literally become “calories out” when you go to the bathroom later.

Other diets help with mentally being able to track calories better, or to just help you deal with how hard it is to eat fewer calories.

But no matter what, conservation of mass and energy always applies.

Yep, Republicans break things, and get voted out. Democrats try to fix what they broke, but it takes a long time and is expensive and boring, so they get voted out. The cycle repeats and is grinding us to dust.

Doesn’t “Western medicine failed” imply that you think alternative medicine would have succeeded? Apologies if I misinterpreted what you said. I didn’t mean it as a challenge.

Not every medical problem can be fixed. Sometimes life just deals you a bad hand.

Very little, if at all.

That tax argument has never really made sense to me. As an avid cyclist, I don’t know anyone that owns a bike but doesn’t also own a car. I’m sure they exist in big cities, but I’ve never met them.

The number of people that don’t believe that taking in fewer calories than you put out will cause you to lose weight still astounds me. Your body isn’t some magic device that doesn’t have to obey the laws of physics.
