Reply to comment by Sculptasquad in Research found weight loss was associated with decreased risk factors for cardiovascular disease and Type 2 diabetes for at least five years — even if some weight was regained, according to a review of research on behavioral weight loss programs by Wagamaga
I hope at the very least you see that “health at every size” is not just saying people saying “I’m healthy!” no matter what size they are and the lifestyle they have. It’s a movement with specific tenets aimed at making healthy behaviors and health accessible to everyone. Specially to people who are usually treated pretty terribly by society at large, which is has dramatic consequences all around for a lot of people.

I also encourage you to look into the complex issue of diets, and how most of them don’t work in the long term.

A lot of people, specially people who have weight issues from a young age, spend their whole lives on and off diets, in a constant cycle of weight gain and loss that destroys their metabolisms.
This approach has the potential to avoid that, and lead to actual sustained health physical benefits and better mental health outcomes.

I suppose so, but I feel like there are better ways to do this nowadays than animal testing.

Reply to comment by DoctorSeis in Researchers Show Optical Fiber Communication Cables Can Warn Against Earthquakes by HeinieKaboobler
it's way more sophisticated than that. otdr's can measure the length of the cable and show where the anomalies are. pretty precise measurements of hundreds of km's. never heard of using it for this though, just for cable verification.

Reply to High fish intake rich in n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids reduces cardiovascular disease incidence in healthy adults: The ATTICA cohort study (2002-2022) by Zadarex
Now with how much PFAS is inside each fish and how many micro and macro Plastics you're consuming, that might balance out to a reasonable diet.

The investment banks are the real winners. They get paid to structure the transaction and on the gains. They are incentivized to hype and mislead.

This is basically what happens, but there is also a special "interrogator" unit that sends pulses of light and converts the back-scattered light to seismic data associated with a specific location along the fiber. Not sure how communications companies could use their existing technology to do the same - possibly by sending "known" signals from one communications hub to another and then if the receiver detects a significant change in the signal amplitude/phase (compared to some average over time), then "something big" happened "somewhere" along the cable.

My mom would accuse me of "pulling an attitude" whenever I didn't agree with her.

World debt is several times GDP, and that increased fast between 2008 and the COVID stimuli.

I bet if you’re eating an unhealthy vegan diet you are probably not paying adequate attention to vitamin B12 and essential amino acids, so probably so.

I took a closer look and they say:
"The findings of this cohort study of 126 394 middle-aged adults from the UK suggest that a healthful PBD was associated with lower risks of CVD, cancer, and total mortality. On the contrary, a plant-based dietary pattern characterized by higher intakes of sugary drinks, snacks and desserts, refined grains, potatoes, and fruit juices was associated with higher risk." https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jamanetworkopen/fullarticle/2802814
So they seem to conclude that a healthy vegan diet is healthier than the average British diet. But a unhealthy vegan diet is less healthy than the average British diet. But Brits in general eat a very unhealthy diet, so this is not saying much in my opinion. Other than if you choose to eat a unhealthy diet, being 100% plant-based is probably a very bad idea..
