Stop Counting Calories—There’s More to Weight Loss
I have a simple, natural diet. One apple per hour except when I'm sleeping. Then it's one apple every three hours. I also eat an entire chicken.

Walmart's having a rough time introducing robots to warehouses?
That got me wondering, is Amazon having the same troubles? Gemini to the rescue. Short answer, no they're not having the same problem. The difference comes down to what the robots are being asked to do, how uniform the goods are, and a decade-long head start in vertically integrated tech. While Amazon’s warehouse automation looks ubiquitous and seamless, Walmart is attempting a far more complex logistical task: retrofitting legacy grocery and retail networks rather than sorti

How badly has Voldemort screwed up oil prices.
Hey wait a minute. This can't be right? Wait it's worse? Yup! Oil peaked at $100 per barrel under Obama. That was back in 2014. Adjust for inflation and thats $141/barrel. I don't recall the Boy Wonder getting any media flack at the time? Hmm. I had Claude dig deeper below.

ICE Officer Shoots and Injures Man in New York City, Sparking Protests
To be the master of the obvious, the majority of Americans want a secure border and for "real" criminals (her illegally) to be deported. This kind of sheet is counterproductive and erodes confidence. Stupid beyond belief. ICE Officer Shoots and Injures Man in New York City, Sparking Protests The man was in a car with a child, who was unharmed, mayor says By Joseph Pisani, WSJ Updated Oct. 9, 2026 12:51 am ET Federal agents investigate a vehicle at the scene of the shooting.

John Holmes, the victim, was despondent at a recent press conference, "She forced herself on me and before I knew it I was on a depraved orgasmic rollercoaster. It was the best night of my life.

JB PRITZKER’S GREAT DISPLACEMENT
I'm sorry. I don't buy it. Gov Fatso may claim his displacing weight but I smell a rat. This is more misinformation put out by Ozempic. Spring 2024: He started his injections in the spring of 2024, after being advised by a doctor to do so two years ago, when he was diagnosed with diabetes. He also took up regular predawn 4-mile walks in Chicago. Chicago's NPR News Source +2 September 2026: In a CBS interview, Pritzker revealed that he had lost 80 pounds since beginning a GL

Younger teens are now much less likely to say they are lesbian, gay, or bisexual
Listen, I identify as some who likes graphs. Ok, that doesn't make me "odd" or "weird" it just makes me have the personality of a six panel door. I've often fantasized about being a certified public accountant. Younger teens are now much less likely to say they are lesbian, gay, or bisexual (especially girls -- and yes, that goes for sexual behavior, too) Jean M.

How much "blame" does Voldemort deserve?
He's done and said more offensive stuff than I can remember without cue cards. Easy to hate? You bet! Despite this a few clarifications: Not a fan of his tariffs but that's hasn't meaningfully moved the inflation dial. You may be pissed that prices are high, however that occured during the previous administration (21% price increase). Inflation this term has been relatively low. If you think prices are likely to come down, you believe in the Easter Bunny. Whatever you think o

What Trump's tariffs did to prices overall last year
Whatever you may think of Voldemort, the media's assertion that his tariff policy (while admittedly badly deployed) meaningfully increased core inflation is complete hogwash. I had Gemini do a deep dive below (after the story). The actual amount after tariffs was between .3% and .8%. Insignificant to our economic large picture. Why does the media continually get it wrong? Because "man bites dog" stories get eyeballs and stories that portray anything normal or insignificant

Celebrating Hamas on Oct. 7
America's young love this guy (Claude analysis below). Talk about a massive failure of parenting. Polls don't break out "Gen Z" exactly, but the closest age brackets show him very popular with young New Yorkers: Job approval (Marist, March 2026): 60% of New York City adults between 18 and 29 approve of the job he's doing, while just 18% disapprove. That compared with only 37 percent of those between 45 and 59. Favorability (Siena, August 2026): Among those between the ages o
