You are right with everything you say.

Still the consumption of carbs is too normalized. Many people believe that you should have carbs with every meal which is insane. Just look at any restaurant food, fast food and everywhere. Unless you are dieting you for sure don't have to avoid carbs, but don't seek them out either.

I believe this is the single biggest reason for the obesity problem. Most meals really shouldn't have any added carbs, yet they do.

It depends on the meaning of amount. By volume no, you can continue to eat like always if you adjust the food itself.

Technically yes, it is a food restriction, but in the end it is especially a calorie restriction which is the important part.

You are absolutely correct though.

That's a tough one. Proteins are a much more useful source of energy and nutrients here. There are limits though and then it doesn't really matter how you get your calories.

So obviously carbs are cheap food and pack a lot of calories which might be beneficial in this scenario.

You are right. I can't argue with that, but I would be careful with this as general advice.

In the end carbs are just sugars of different complexity. For example add some saliva to starch and you got glucose. Hence white bread, pasta and even potatoes are really bad for your blood sugar.

You don't have to avoid them, but carbs are not necessarily part of a healthy and balanced diet. Their only benefit is that they are cheap sources of energy. If you don't eat carbs the body has to use fat to metabolize sugar which works just as well.

It is useful to avoid carbs for a diet, because you can remove a lot of calories from any meal by replacing them with mostly vegetables without reducing the portion size at all. Also it helps with cravings a lot.

Up to 355687428096000? That's impressive!

Most sex of trans people is intersex though (either after HRT or SRS). This whole discussion is stupid from people not knowing the tiniest thing about biology.

And even then the worst part is that these documents equal gender and sex. Sex cannot be easily determined anyway without the help of at least an endocrinologist and it's irrelevant for most everyday cases. Not even your doctor cares unless you are pregnant.

It's just to hurt people for no real reason.

I almost forgot it existed. It was a slight improvement, but with a whole bunch of new problems (most notable race conditions which were never fixed) and it was made obsolete by systemd.

It was a good evolutionary step only used by Ubuntu iirc. It was better at that time than the previous init system, but not more than that and it never found wide adaption.

Bin gerade in München (wohne aber nicht in Bayern) und habe den Alarm bekommen.

I used Linux (and some Unix) before systemd was a thing and init scripts are jank. So much boilerplate and that was before things like proper isolation existed and other more modern features.

I don't understand why anyone would want that back.

A replacement of systemd with something else would be fine, but please no more init scripts and pointless run levels.

You can change your sex in many cases, because it is not determined by your chromosomes like some people believe. There are other factors. Most trans people are biologically speaking intersex once they start HRT and stay that way their whole life.

Some people are also born intersex even though it is not the chromosomes which are "wrong". Of course there are also other combinations of chromosomes than just the 2 most people are ~~familar with~~ heard of.

The whole discussion is bogus and should be left to the experts. For everyday use the biological sex is completely irrelevant and many people might not even be aware that they don't neatly into one of the assumed binary pockets.

That's actually cool. I have to remember it next time I have to deal with html mail.

Now do html mail!
