If you have the willpower to ignore your body telling you its hungry, then yeah fasting will work for you. Most people can do this for only a little while though, and then revert to what they used to do.
Diets fail because people view them as "temporary struggles". Something to get through and then it's over. It's obvious why that doesn't work. It has to be a way of life.
Have you had good success? To me it’s still a grab bag with this method. So much so that I still keep a non-coated anodized aluminum nonstick pan around just for eggs. Everything else into the stainless or enameled cast iron.
I recently switched fully to a non coated iron pan and can't be happier. The trick for the right oil-coating is to apply oil with low smoking point and then to remove it almost completely with a cloth. When the pan looks dry again, briefly put it on the stove over high heat and after 3 minutes it is perfectly burnt in. Let it cool and repeat 3-5 times.
Pan will end up fully black. I had a previous attempt where I used too much oil (then the coating ends up sticky and it smokes during the heating) the pan must really be dry again. There will still be enough oil in the surface. Used flaxseed oil.
I tried it according to many of the video tutorials and it doesn't really work. It just smelled up my kitchen with oil smoke, and made my pan look amber-ish but not non-stick. Also whatever coating that created, it gets ruined by cooking.
Just use some oil and high heat before putting things in. And use a Teflon pan for more delicate things that don't need to be seared.
The coating needs to be very thin. I think of it more as filling in little scratches and then polymerizing to create a smoother surface. I still use oil/fat when it's time to cook.
Because they live in the US, and therefore by law should have representation. (Note that they still can't vote, so the influence is limited.)
Permanent residency is very much a thing allowed by law. Dismissing them as foreigners is a bit harsh, when some of them have been in the US longer (and legally) than anywhere else in their lives.
Sometimes it's not possible. For example an India does not allow dual citizenship, to become US citizen they would have to give up their citizenship.
If your extended family and friend live in India, that might not be an option.
Furthermore, for Greek citizens it is absolutely impossible to get rid of their citizenship. They can burn their passports, commit crime, but they will forever stay a Greek citizen.
As if most Indian citizens living in the US even have an option of getting US citizenship.
There is a 150 year waiting list for someone from India who is here on a work visa to even get a green card much less citizenship.
The fastest route to citizenship for someone from India working here is:
1. Get pregnant
2. Wait nine months for your child to be born in the US
3. Wait 21 more years until they are old enough to sponsor someone for a green card (and don't forget to make sure that their income is high enough to support both themselves and you single-handedly)
4. Wait another year to actually get the green card
5. Wait five more years to qualify for citizenship
Many would happily become citizens but can't because they're not here legally. That's the WHOLE thing the Dreamers group is, they've been here living for most of their lives but were brought here as children but they they can't become a citizen without leaving and waiting 10 or so years to start over from square one.
Sure, but not in a work place. That is not the appropriate place to denounce other workers as "inanely inferior".
Even so, there are plenty of workplaces that practice anti-diversity, pro-discriminatory behavior. I believe even US govt contractors are allowed to discriminate on sexual orientation now. So there are plenty of workplaces for those uncomfortable in tolerant environments and preferring a more bigoted work place. But apparently that is insufficient: apparently they want _no_ work place to be diverse.
And indeed, whatever strife there is will end the instant those who resent equality overcome their internal angst.
Gun murder rate per gun ownership rate is still vanishingly low in Vermont and most of the Rocky Mountain states, despite high rates of legal gun ownership
I really hope there is a hybrid MBP with an Apple chip running mac OS and first party apps along with an intel chip that runs on demand for third party apps that need x86.
As a legal resident, that's basically why I feel pretty confident in my green card. What the fuck kind of priorities does ICE have if they are messing with people who actually have documents and are here rightfully while there's actual illegals roaming around?
Also, the fact that I live in SoCal, makes me feel pretty safe somehow. :)
Visibility, for one. Legal aliens are likely more confident in their chances to not be deported (and in the past, for rightful reasons), which makes them low hanging fruit for ICE which generally has zero accountability [1].
This can be for reasons like having a conviction within the past few decades or for more nebulous reasons. Even if you successfully fight deportation, you're still dealing with potentially being jailed and taken away from your life for no reason [2].
