Reply to [OC] American confidence in the government, economy, and information has been declining by GeorgeDaGreat123

I just want to point out that perception and reality are two vastly different things. The government and media was doing shady stuff this whole time, we're just more aware of it now. To a certain extent this increased distrust is a good thing. Unfortunately most people still only have one eye open. They're just noticing the shady stuff the "other side" is doing while being completely blind to their own sides shortcomings.

Reply to [OC] The U.S. House of Representatives elected the Speaker of the House after 15 ballots. 1859 was the last year to require more than 15 ballots. by JPAnalyst

Everyone’s making a big deal out of it taking 15 votes this time around…

Isn’t it more concerning that the 435 people we elect to collectively represent us and our wildly diverse needs and opinions rarely requires more than one vote to obtain a majority?

Reply to comment by GladstoneBrookes in I analyzed 11000 products of a Dutch supermarket to find the cheapest sources of protein [OC] by MemeableData

My point is that the leucine content generally is lower in plants and that's a limiting factor. Vegetables have a less ideal amino acid profile. As long as you get enough leucine you're good when it comes to muscle building.

Regarding the study you linked: if you look closer at the nutrient composition the protein intake and amino acid intake is roughly equal between the groups but the vegan group has a higher carb intake, and as we age we all become more or less carb intolerant and that's one of many drawbacks of a pure vegan diet. Other drawbacks are lack of micro nutrients that need to be taken through supplements unless extreme care is taken, and for practical reasons it's not easy to achieve compared with an omnivore diet.

No point? All these graphs presented together for no reason? Not to allow comparisons? Just a random assemblage of unrelated data?

What has “American” got to do with understanding “fratnp” or “grebntw”? What country are you from and what language or codified standard is this? Does the whole world understand it and not this poor ignorant Australian?

Reply to comment by The_NeutralGuy in [OC] Germany's gas imports from Russia vs total. Russia went from 35% to 0% vs total 38% global reduction. by hcrx

They wont be able to export it. You need infraestructure to export natural gas, pipelines or LNG ports. And Russia lost or closed several pipelines and only have LNG facilities to export less than 20% of their natural gas production

Therefore, they are exporting 60% less natural gas in december 2022 (5.7b metric tons) than in december 2021 (13.6b.)
