Agreed. I have taken to eating dry-roasted peanuts with beer. They're not even bad for you. They've got iron and minerals and healthy fats in them.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lectin

Quote:

Lectins serve many different biological functions in animals, from the regulation of cell adhesion to glycoprotein synthesis and the control of protein levels in the blood. They also may bind soluble extracellular and intercellular glycoproteins. Some lectins are found on the surface of mammalian liver cells that specifically recognize galactose residues. It is believed that these cell-surface receptors are responsible for the removal of certain glycoproteins from the circulatory system.

Another lectin is a receptor that recognizes hydrolytic enzymes containing mannose-6-phosphate, and targets these proteins for delivery to the lysosomes. I-cell disease is one type of defect in this particular system.

Lectins also are known to play important roles in the immune system. Within the innate immune system lectins such as the MBL, the mannose-binding lectin, help mediate the first-line defense against invading microorganisms. Other lectins within the immune system are thought to play a role in self-nonself discrimination and they likely modulate inflammatory and autoreactive processes. Intelectins (X-type lectins) were shown to bind microbial glycans and may function in the innate immune system as well. Lectins may be involved in pattern recognition and pathogen elimination in the innate immunity of vertebrates including fishes.

My doc says this doc is right. I'm supposed to stay off lectins but, ofc, fall off the wagon regularly.

It was not. Beer is quite easy to obtain without resorting to feats of competitiveness.

Wrong. I do not usually wear knots in every day life but when i do it is full Windsor knot. I have a great collection of ties too i rarely use but great anyway.

And so did this guy (although his collection was basic it seems or probably his time was simpler in that regard).

Are you saying you cant trust us?

PS: You can trust what Einstein did after Relativity because pretty soon his dialogues with Bohr will be revisited and both will be vindicated, united and corrected in a way that is surprising. A genius doesn't fail. Their framework and foundation of philosophy does. And that leads to progress.

Why and how would i do that?

It requires 3/5*GM^2/R which is 2.3*10^32 Joules. We produce about 10^21 J per year currently.

Why destroy the only known place of such high complexity that gave specimen like you for example? It is not an expansion of choices type of decision. It is weak.

In Toulouse the Yellow Vesters bashed up an outside ATM at an HSBC bank*.Needing cash, I simply went inside where another ATM machine, undamaged from violence by being in an enclosed and protected space, was glowing lovingly. There I was able with the manipulation of a few buttons to receive my demand for cash. With Euros in hand, I exited, singing hallelujahs to the wisdom of the HSBC bank.

*Windows in a Christian Dior store were also bashed in, along with other businesses showing signs of damage.

You will lose the source of beer if you blow up the planet. However you will definitely find me in agreement in blowing up some bs of this planet witnessed daily. Cheers to being mad about it and doing something to end the bs as often as possible, including the one that comes from within which only further wisdom and additional time existing can fix.

God will make sure beer is still available to all entities in the universe that need it. See Brian’s post above for a full explanation.

I wonder what in each one of us is at the darkest moment in time the chance to say yes to the question of blowing up the earth if a way to do it existed?

There is no point in claiming to be ethical if you do not have the power for the most unethical choice ever and yet still "choose" not to do it.

Would you want me to find a way to do it and then claim to be ethical?

I wonder how many current philosophers in the planet would say yes to the end of all on the basis of some super-moronic pain vs pleasure/suffering/sacrifice life being frail argument.

I was informed by an EU AI God that I could not view a Newsday website/article (US based) because it failed to comply with some internet privacy/ individual protection policies enjoyed but the European Utopia. Apparently, I have to put up with this draconian abuse until I get back to USA #1.

In Sicily there are only three places where you can’t park your car: on the top of skyscrapers, on the side of buildings (even Italians are subject to the law of gravity), and completely underwater. Everywhere else is fair game. I like this system. I think it works very well and should be adapted by all countries. Especially by the EU, thus turning it into an even bigger Utopia than currently acknowledged.
