People are so cute when they are defending their religion.

Licensed Professional Engineer by the way.

LOL

Gonna throw another fit?

As an experienced engineer, in god I trust, all others bring data. Not your models tweaked to give you the results you want, but the raw data.

So far, the data says climate change looks within normal planetary behavior.

You are however, entirely welcome to your firmly held religious beliefs.

In first world countries like the US, the amount of land being used for food production has been decreasing as production per acre increases. Technology is reducing our impact on the environment continually.

Ironically, some of newest fads in environmentalism represent some of the most significant new threats to the environment. For example, the batteries currently used for electric cars requires increasing amounts of lithium that is one of the highest polluting mining operations in the world. Disposal of these batteries also presents a waste disposal problem.

Fortunately, we are mostly still using cars made with aluminum and steel that can be recycled easily rather than batteries and plastic that is difficult to recycle.

The usual market forces that drive efficiency and lower cost also drive reduced energy use and reduced pollution.

Buck up buddy! Things are getting better!

A stick of butter is about 800 calories. By the time you bread it with a sweet coating, sprinkle sugar on it it is probably 1100 calories or so.

Most of this is healthy fat and will metabolize into body fat pretty quickly and should amount to about a 1/4 lb of new jiggly fat on your body.

So, EAT UP!

I have never tried it, fried butter is just heavily breaded and fried in very hot oil so the coating gets crispy before the inside melts, (Kinda like baked alaska). I think it is then dusted with sugar so it probably tastes a lot like butter icing.

The sleepiness side effect should be similar the Benadryl.

Don't worry, the buffets are coming back. either we will reach herd immunity naturally or with the help of vaccine(s). When that happens everything will go back to "normal".

There is so much nonsense out there right now though. I saw that Dr. Birx lamented that she wishes we had "locked down sooner like Italy did" Even as Italy is having a second wave. I saw another article saying that T-Cell immunity from other Corona virus' may be supplementing immunity in Sweden to get them on the verge of Herd Immunity now.

No wonder everyone is confused!

If it is soft and jiggly it is not "under the muscle" fat and therefore is not the fat that gives you type II diabetes.

Sometimes I thing what people call bloat is just the feeling of being full that comes with actually being full, or due to gas produced in the digestive process.

Sounds to me as if a Closet Feeder is a short step up from an Enabler.

FigureBySnacks as a great point. The site is already selling advertising, why not promote that advertising to members more? I kinda posted on that already but maytbe more could be done.

I personally am not fond of mixing personal profiles with business profiles and that seems to be what you are trying to get away from.

So why not have real business memberships that look different, don't participate in forums or shouts maybe, but support business features like selling stories, merchandise, photos, videos, or whatever?

Someone could have a personal profile devoid of commercial content and a paid business profile to sell stuff? A win-win?
