My tolerance for bitter flavors has increased over the years.
Taste buds die as one ages. Try revisiting some foods.

My soul is here defined as my supernatural non-material essence as specified by Judeo-Christian philosophers[...]
What do you intend to do with your soul(s) as defined by other schools of philosophy?
By Plato’s theory of Ideal Forms, selling your soul would be tantamount to selling bits of the gods—and man has no claim to the gods. I’d advise against this lest you wish to become fate-brothers with Prometheus.
Madoka takes it seriously as the first option she for a wish that she came across. She decides against it, for obvious reasons, but her reaction wasn’t “that’s a silly wish, I can think of a hundred better ones”...
Perhaps your interpretation is correct—I don’t know. Keep in mind that one wouldn’t deny a another’s suggestion outright in Japanese culture; even if a suggestion were ridiculous, often one will show that they’ve considered it before offering some excuse to decline.
“Do you like cake? Wish for cake!”
″Hmm, I do like cake; some cake would be really nice right now. Maybe I should wait to hear other wishes first, though.”
Pretend you’re to have a conversation with a friend in which you need to explain a topic before proceeding. Write your dialogue.
I think you’re being a bit too literal. When someone says, “Nothing comes to mind,” they may have myriad thoughts ricocheting through their brain, but none of which are fully thought through or even partially fleshed out. ’Tis unreasonable to assume that if a character professes ignorance to others (and thus the audience) they are absent ideas.
I have a question. Assume that non-profit MIRI develops a fAGI (I like the acronym this way). They realise they can use the fAGI to generate profit. Taking for granted they only wish to make enough profit to sustain the institution free of donor-support, would they then be able to switch to a for-profit institution, despite having created the fAGI while non-profit?
Everyone has found a way around the question; I asked it poorly, so I’ll be clearer: if a piece of technology is developed at an institution dependent upon donations from private individuals to operate yet has no obligations to repay those individuals any form of equity—an institution that until this point has been called a ‘non-profit’ - can that institution then legally start profiting from their technology sans any obligation to their former donors? This may require country-specific answers.
[L]ipolysis != dead fat cells.
Of course.
If you have too many amino acids in your blood your body doesn’t need to undergo ketosis. The generally recommended ratio is 65% fat or higher, %30 protein or less, and %5 carbohydrates or less.
Of course.
Sorry, I just realized we had a point of confusion due to a lack of clarity in my expression. I hope my edits are clearer.
If you undergo ketosis your humoural triglycerides will be lysed.
Other people have written much on undergoing ketosis for weight loss, if you’re interested; beware though that much of their weight loss comes from loss of glycogen and water stores. Keeping yourself hydrated mitigates the latter, but liver glycogen stores will be depleted. Absent readily available glycogen, your body will break down humoural trigylcerides as it is your only remaining source of energy; glycogen stored in your muscles is left untouched lest you exercise extreme physical exertion. I now speculate, but at this point your body has become accustomed to using fats as its main energy source. If you enter into any sort of fasted state, be it through a caloric deficit, intermittent fasting, sleeping, etcetera, your body will lipolyse adipose cells for energy; this must happen or you will die—whatever prevented this previously will have been circumvented. Actually, if verily your body is so stubborn it won’t touch your adipose tissue, first you’d lose your skeletal muscle—then you’d die.
These are the physiological properties—if they don’t apply to you, then whatever genetic mutation causes your body’s nonconformity is unknown and I’d venture to guess has other effects as well.
If anyone tries this, pay attention to how fruity your urine/breath smells. If it becomes an overpowering scent, your blood pH may be too high. Either stop or take measures to rebalance your pH.
I would identify a representative set of specific circumstances which would benefit from ‘vocal training techniques’, then go into detailed explanation of the physiological changes that effect a benefit in each specific circumstance. Now that the generally applicable part has been covered, you can detail various techniques designed to achieve the effects. As each person will have differing degrees of success with different exercises, list many, but at the outset state the ultimate goal for the technique the set of exercises are designed to develop, exempli gratia “You will feel X once it has worked” (I don’t know if this is possible).
If you are clear that one is only learning how to use their body more effectively, I should not think considerations of identity will prove problematic—if it does, abandoning the exercises undoes the effects, correct? I would also mention that incorrect use of one’s voice over long periods of time damages it; increasing one’s ability to use it correctly will help preserve their ability to produce voice into the future.
If the effect is truly only expressed in the right hemisphere, that would not clarify whether feelings of vulnerability or vestibulo-sensory signalling produce the lowered ‘unrealistic optimism’.
Even with the risk assessment metric based upon financial concerns, water to the ears may still trigger feelings of vulnerability—can anyone think of a way to mitigate this confound? Though I am curious why this effect would be more pronounced in the right hemisphere.
You seem to have knowledge about how to do this effectively—please share that knowledge or the sources for it.
If you’re willing to guinea pig, please try this if you haven’t already. It’s short on macro-nutrients, but perhaps it would pair nicely with macro-nutrient focussed substitutes. I’m interested in comparisons between how these products compare to the actual constituent ingredients consumed normally, but don’t value the information enough to try it myself.
Is the link representative of all Contra dancing?
Bogdan Butnaru is quite the busy man—if someone with the ability, willpower, and time would like to take the management of the HP:MoR book-style PDF off his hands, or merely lend a helping hand updating previous chapters &c., please pm him at bogdanb to inform him your willingness so he may be motivated to make the LaTeX sources available.
Have you tried making yourself throw up immediately after (or even better, while) smoking?
There is no implicit assumption. She was apparently tested for BRCA1 based on family history, and was found positive. The correlation between BRCA1 and those cancers yields a certain percentage of risk, a calculation into which family history might also account. She links to here: http://cancer.stanford.edu/information/geneticsAndCancer/types/herbocs.html
Your third option is correct—although both effort, will and resources to acquire genetic testing are required.
It seems like they’ve already spent half a billion of their four billion. Do they have enough money? At this rate they’ll run out soon.
If something was divine, then it was under the domain of the gods; I was making a simple extrapolation.
