The transition to ketosis is usually the hardest, which for most people is around day 3.

If you eat keto it isn't a problem.

When you water fast you excrete salt with the water you're drinking. Beginners tend to drink far too much water to mentally replace the food, and so they lose a lot of salt. Gatorade when it was invented was an electrolyte replacement. Now it has a lot more sugar too. It was probably for the salt.

My longest fast was two weeks, AMA. :-)

The gatorade sounds horrendous, to dump a ton of sugar on you when fasting. It was probably for the electrolytes, a pinch of salt would have worked without all the junk in gatorade. And then you rarely need it on just a three day fast, only if you're dizzy. And if you're dizzy it means you've drunk too much water.

Glad you're better though!

Reddit fasting sub is ok to learn more, though they have some hangups like dry fasting.

YSK, cancer as a metabolic disease, and tripping over the truth, are excellent books about this, and why we got cancer wrong since watson and crick.

I agree but there are 300 million in the US. The actual insurrectionists are like... 200 people? Maybe 2,000?

Shutting down anyone talking pro trump in the whole country will have downsides, and just make them more angry. Prohibition isn't an answer that will work.

Hopefully sending all of the insurrectionists to jail will help.

They don't pay for them. It's where all the "aid" money goes.

Pretty much anything from the last generation. Embarrassingly the F-16 beat it in combat, for example.

For close air support the A-10 is vastly superior.

The F-35 is an employment program like the TSA.

Buggy? It barely works. Short flight time. Crap wing loading. Not good at any of it's multi-roles.

We could build 5-10 F-16s for each F-35, and many more A-10s, and they'd be better despite being ancient designs.

They're so expensive we can't even do proper flight training in them, it'd cost too much if we break one.

Good. The whole thing should be shut down.

Myth. US manufacturing never went away, US manufacturing JOBS went away. Automation.

Mach-E looks ok but there's no way I'm driving long distance on J1772. You might convince people ChaDeMo is okay... but not if they've done a v3 supercharger.

Like I said, its not just the car. You may be right about SuperCruise, I have a small amount of experience with it, but I'm skeptical.

As for cars having design faults and the manufacturer being disgraceful... That's a pretty long list? We could start with the Pinto exploding? Or the Bronco roof collapsing?

The value is really in the inept cluelessness of the legacy automakers. If any of them woke up and got a Clue(TM) then, after they build a car that isn't crappy, and a charging network, and self-driving... Then TSLA stock might drop.
