Because it’s not .333, it’s .333… or 1/3 and it’s not .999, it’s .999…, which is the same as 1 🫠. Primes and fractions are weird.

If he needs to pay the real estate business to get started and if he needs to recruit other people, it is likely MLM (pyramid scheme). There is a database of those here.

In warmer water their metabolism goes up and they need to forage more food to survive. While they were attempting to do that, the were getting eaten by predators that typically couldn’t enter their region.

I get why they do monkey trials, but the part where it said that the one dieing monkey was holding it's cellmate's hands really gets to me. There needs to be a better way.

It’s hard to imagine a time when you could smoke a cigarette on a talk show.

When I was in business school, one of our lecturers in our ethics class was one of the main consultants that worked the Steam project to create regional price differences and other geofencing. It was a very interesting class. The takeaway is that it can be seen as morally responsible to charge someone is a poorer country less for the same game. It is called price discrimination and it is done in many industries including air travel and pharmaceuticals. Otherwise, you would price an entire market out of a product. In many respects, the richer countries are subsidizing the poorer countries. The argument that the price should be the lowest one on the board anywhere is not realistic because a company needs to generate margins high enough to make the opportunity worthwhile otherwise it is not going to produce the product. In other words, Companies will not make a product if they are going to lose monkey selling it, but they will charge one market more to sell to another market at a loss if there is other intrinsic value like user adoption to create a community. They are selling digital content in this instance, but it still took money to make and money to distribute, so the argument that the product is easy to replicate over and over again is a moot point. Getting some money in a market versus no money is beneficial. If people pirate that games en masse by even just purchasing them VPN at a lower rate hurts the developers. I believe in some piracy under certain circumstances, such as when you truly can’t afford something when you are growing up. It is in the marketers best interest to let kids get hooked at a young age.

We cannot afford a green light for dishonest schools to continue harming students

This also should apply to skyrocketing tuition rates due to the institutions knowing that students would be pressured to take the predatory government loans. The government shouldn’t have been willing to pay that much to begin with, which would force the universities to lower their rates.

Book Recommendations (sh.itjust.works)
submitted 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) by porkins@sh.itjust.works to c/keto@sh.itjust.works

I’ve been doing keto for 20 years. Here are some books that I highly recommend:

Ketocontinuum: Consistently Keto Diet for Life — Don’t read Any Way You Can. This one is better. She has an excellent YouTube channel.

Good Calories, Bad Calories: Fats, Carbs, and the Controversial Science of Diet and Health — This is essential reading as a precursor to the keto rabbit hole. It is a well researched tome about the history of dieting.

The Art and Science of Low Carbohydrate Performance - Well researched book on how to optimize keto for running.

The Ketogenic Diet: A Complete Guide for the Dieter and Practitioner - A very early and thorough manual to keto with lots of information on how to grow muscle mass.

Born to Run: A Hidden Tribe, Superathletes, and the Greatest Race the World Has Never Seen - An inspiring book on running. It doesn’t touch upon keto per se, however it is apparent to me that the Iskiate / Chia Fresca is fairly keto.
