Yes, I covered that. For example, people who are ill tend to exercise and move less. So calories-out (CO) goes down = people get fatter.

So it's definitely directly relevant.

Yes, calories-wise it's the same, but it's far worse biologically in the US where the sweetener is predominantly high fructose corn syrup. Not all sugars have the same effect.

Fructose has to be ~~porridge~~ processed through the liver and causes much higher incidence of non-fatty liver disease, insulin resistance, uric acid causing gout, etc. leading to higher rates of metabolic syndrome and cardiovascular disease. When someone is ill from these sorts of diseases, they're less likely to exercise or move around, and will tend to want to eat more convenient comfort foods, which only amplifies the obesity issue.

Many of the countries that consume the least amount of fructose per capita are in Europe (Germany, Poland, Greece, Portugal, Finland, etc.)

At the risk of getting political, you should expect that to go up under Trump. The tariff war with China during his first term kept panel prices high, and it's going to be worse this time. And that's not his only policy that will affect pricing.

... there are somethings that are often left out of the pricing

Another example that gets skimmed over or ignored is the massive cost of decommissioning a nuclear power plant. It typically ranges from $280 million to $2 billion, depending on the technology used. More complex plants can be up to $4 billion. And the process can take 15 to 30 years to complete.

Yeah great storage price at ~$4 / TB / month. But be aware that egress is $7 / TB.

If someone is mostly just backing up, that's probably not an issue... well, at least until you have to do a big restore, or you do large recovery testing, or even just backup validations, etc.

If someone is doing lots of reading of their cloud data, e.g. streaming, then there are overall cheaper options than Storj.

One other thing I liked about Storj is that they split each file up geographically. So there's a little extra level of privacy and security.

Yes, that's psychological projection.

But in these situations, people are referring to the technique of propaganda projection.

Sure, anyone can sign with a key. Having THE key is the extraordinary part.

But even if we have free will to choose, God knows all. He exists in all space and time. He knows every freewill choice each person will make ahead of time. So he creates people knowing they are unavoidably destined for eternal agonising pain in hell.

And even if we make freewill choices, why doesn't he intervene? A parent will stop a baby playing with a deadly sharp knife. But if the parent doesn't see it happening, why doesn't God jump in and do the right thing like the parent does?

... usually...

"The Jr. Dr. in the dept. of ABC Ltd. who weighed 180 lb., read p. 6, 11, etc."

Fun fact. If you took every dodgy, corrupt politician and lined them up end-to-end in space... you should probably just leave them there.

perplexity.ai does a decent job at providing sources for searches.

Yes, and their shorthand versions, like writing 9/4, have the same problem of being ambiguous.

You keep missing the point and moving the goal posts, so I'll just politely exit here and wish you well. Peace.
