Are they different than LGBs? It does seem like a different situation, in that there is no “treatment” required for LGBs. And the treatment seems to be extreme, and in the long run, perhaps not helpful, or it makes things worse.
And no, it’s not “bigoted” or “phobic” to ask the question.

The worst thing about this piece is this:
Americans are fat because we eat large portions, and because we eat foods that are high in sugar and fat. Americans are fat because we eat large portions, and because we eat foods that are high in sugar and fat. Perhaps it’s time for the surgeon general to put scary warning labels on sugary and fatty foods.
That is a profoundly ignorant statement, nutrition wise. People don’t get fat from eating fat
Beyond that, even if were smooth, I’d never ride it. I’m too claustrophobic.

I’m trying to set up Fedora as a virtual machine on a Windows 8.1 host. I want to attach the physical boot disk to the machine with a vdmk file. But when I try to add the drive, it tells me I have a permissions problem on the file. The file has full rights for System, Admin and user. Anyone know what the problem might be?

I’ve gotten a couple emails wondering if there’s some way to contribute anonymously. Unfortunately, I don’t think Kickstarter allows that. I can understand how there would be a lot of people who’d like to support it, but would suffer repercussions if they did so publicly. However, if I get funded, I’d be happy to take more money under the table for equivalent rewards, and just keep track of it myself, instead of Kickstarter. That would have the additional advantage of eliminating the take from the middle man (7-8%).
…has done more good than harm, and will likely continue to do so.

It’s going to be a long eighteen months. Fortunately, there’s a lot of ruin in a country, particularly this one.
That’s an…interesting phrase for the cause of the Progress mission failure last month. Doesn’t that sort of imply a need for a redesign?
