2010, simply because of how english works.

If you say 2001 as twenty one, it’s confusing. Same goes all the way up to “twenty nine”.

And it’s more garbled and slower to say “twenty oh one” vs “two thousand one”, especially if you’re speaking quickly.

“Twenty ten” and up, however, starts making sense as a different piece of information and can be used easily.

Not quite, this has happened before

Where did I say anything about Jews not living there continuously? Idk what you’re talking about now

I’m not sure the point you’re trying to make…I was just pointing out that “voluntarily leaving what is now Israel” is wildly misleading and wrong

were descended from people who voluntarily left the area generations ago

There have been forced deportations from that area for millenia. They’re talked about in the Bible and the Romans did it.

Through their paws for one, and when they lick their coats, the saliva acts like sweat and cools them down as it evaporates. And if it’s really bad, they pant.

Didn’t she refer to herself as as “Rivera’s wife” instead of herself as an artist at least up until the early 30’s?

This is how it plays out https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/article/2024/may/05/what-happens-presidential-candidate-trump-biden-dies

What is dystopian about this?

Nope, for cutting bone

That article is pretty inaccurate overall… people have reliably lived beyond 40 for thousands of years

I don’t think it’s against “your own” it’s the belief that one is better than the other. That can mean you believe yours is worse than others too.

Slouched forward shoulders, weight on my heels, head back with a pained expression and small crying sounds.

• Pay for luxury service
• Service gets more expensive
• Keep paying for service
• Service gets more expensive
• Complain about cost, goto 1

It’s hard to have pity for people who do this, especially if enough people stopped, the service would get cheaper.

Same except opposite for me. Communication on the right, info on left

Fair enough. And I’ll give you the vs fat part. It was unfair for me to say anyway - what was in my head when I said it was that a pound of fat is considered worth 3500 kcal, which is more energy than most things in a body. It was a shit argument that mixed points.

Overall, I think my issue is just with the simple statement that “muscles are inefficient”.

The way I interpreted that statement is that “muscles waste energy”, since that’s all the context I could get from those words. I see muscles as super efficient, just like anything else in the body in that they do as little as possible compared to what is demanded. I view that type of laziness as ultimate efficiency.

Through the rest of the thread I got little additional context, so I kept on keeping on.

I still think the op of this thread didn’t get his point across very well

Heart & kidneys > brain > liver > skeletal muscle > adipose muscle

Pound for pound. But they all are efficient, which still goes against the original thesis

Then muscles are as efficient as they can be. They use as little energy as they need. They require energy to do things, just like everything else in your body. But they will only be as big/strong as required, nothing more - which is, believe it or not - efficiency.

Aside from fat. Or the brain. Or other organs

So from what context are we using the word “efficiency”?

Because from a muscle’s view, it is as efficient as possible. It grows and atrophies based on what is required of it. This is my problem with the main post: muscles are inefficient.

They aren’t, full stop. A muscle will be as efficient as possible - be as small and use as little energy as possible - to handle the regular tasks given.

If you are speaking from a holistic view of a human who decides what goals to set, whether it is useful to simply have large muscles for aesthetic reasons, then sure. Yeah. Big muscles burn more energy and aren’t needed to survive. I’d still say that’s not what efficiency is, but I’d concede there.
